Visit the Hall of Memory
Requirement: Stormcast Eternal

You visit the Hall of Memory, spending most of your week

there. You wander through the mementos and notes other
Stormcast have left to try to remember their past lives, and
you add one or more of your own. As you trace the echoes
of your past life, you are filled with a sense of purpose and
wholeness that you can’t remember ever experiencing.

Once before your next downtime period, you can tap into
the forgotten memories of your past life. Your soul briefly
becomes whole, allowing you to gain a benefit as if you had
spent Soulfire. You can choose from any of the effects of
spending Soulfire. Doing so does not deplete the Binding’s
Soulfire as this effect comes from within yourself.

What Lies Beneath

You spend your time venturing into the ever-shifting
labyrinthine Undercity in search of lost lore or artefacts.
Make a DN 4:10 Extended Test. Over the course of one
week you can make three Tests using any combination of
Mind (Awareness), Mind (Survival), or Body (Stealth).

On a failure, your exploration is cut short by an ambush

from twisted abominations in the deep. You find your way
back to the surface one week later, suffering from a single
Lasting Wound — this has the same effect as a Minor Wound
but can not be healed until your next downtime period. If
you succeed, you successfully navigate the unpredictable
Undercity, overcoming monstrous obstacles and emerging
with a notable prize. Roll on the Undercity Artefact table
(page 17) to discover what you retrieve.

Wraith Hunter
Requirement: Training (1) in Arcana or Lore, Training
(1) in Weapon Skill or Ballistic Skill

You spend your time studying in the House of the

Kindled Flame, though your studies are more practical
than academic. Within the House you learn the ancient
Aspirian tradition of undead-hunting, learning how to
best combat wraiths, vampires, and other undead horrors.
Many wraith hunters douse their weapons in holy oil and
set them alight when confronted by undead, in the hopes
of gaining a further advantage. Until your next downtime
period, your Melee, Accuracy, and Defence increase one
step when fighting Undead. If you take this Endeavour a
second time, this bonus becomes permanent.

 2D6 ARTEFACT ECCENTRICITIES

Previous Owner: The artefact is haunted! Any time the artefact’s owner falls asleep, a Myrmourn Banshee
(Soulbound, page 332) emerges from the artefact and attacks with a Surprise Round. The Banshee attacks the artefact's
2
owner for 1d6 rounds before retreating back to the artefact and waiting for her next opportunity. Killing the Banshee, or
cleansing the artefact with a sphere of Aqua Ghyranis, exorcises the spirit.

Shifting Form: The artefact is ever changing, shifting from one form to another in time with the dance of Hysh and
3 Ulgu across the sky. At sunrise each day, roll again to determine the artefact’s type. In the case of the Shimmering Gem,
reroll its worth.

Arcane Armament: The artefact has an unusual or outlandish offensive ability. If the artefact is a weapon, roll 1d6 and
add the resulting Trait.
A 1–2: Reach
A 3: Penetrating
4–5
A 4: Restraining
A 5: Rend
A 6: The artefact allows the wielder to cast the Arcane Bolt spell as if they had a Mind (Channelling) of 4d6.
If the artefact is not a weapon, it always counts as if it rolled a 6 on the above table.

Magic Infused: The artefact is saturated with arcane power. If the artefact is a weapon or armour, it gains the Magical
6–8 Trait. If the artefact is a Grimoire, Arcane Focus, or Shimmering Gem, the wielder gains 1d6 on all Mind (Channelling)
Tests while holding it.

Agonising Aura: With a mental command, the artefact can emit a sensation of intense pain that presses against the
9–10 minds of those who view it. Whenever the artefact’s wielder makes an Intimidation Test, they can choose to utilise this
effect, gaining Greater Advantage on the Test at the cost of increasing Doom by 1.

Sinister Intelligence: The artefact contains the trapped soul of a long dead mage who delights in whispering arcane
11 secrets into the mind of its owner. While the artefact is in a character’s possession, they count as having the Forbidden
Knowledge Talent with a focus in Arcana.

One of a Kind: The artefact is truly outlandish, claiming multiple eccentricities. Roll twice on this table, rerolling any

results of One of a Kind, or duplicate results until the artefact has two unique eccentricities.

Artefacts in Adventures
The above tables allow a GM to generate a dizzying
array of varied and strange Undercity Artefacts
that can be used in any number of ways in your
adventures. Feel free to offer them as rewards for
completing optional goals, place them in the hands
of notable villains, or even build whole adventures
around them! The possibilities are endless.
