APPENDIX I: ALTDORF ENDEAVOURS
3
Is there a place more revolting beyond the warped wastelands of Chaos? I don’t know. Altdorf seems to devour the
country: an army of buildings come to war upon the landscape. Every sense abhors it. Each morning I strain to see
through thick river mists spiced with the soot and poison of human industry. My ears ring with the whines of famished
street dogs; the brutish laughs of addicts lost to rotgut schnapps; and buskers that can barely glean a tune, let alone hold
one. Textures of coarse grit and cold slime impress themselves constantly. Worst is the stench! Even patriotic Emperors
fled from it. History records that the Lawgiver Siegfried was first to clutch a handkerchief to his nose and deem Altdorf
‘The Great Reek’. I have yet to expose myself to the city’s tastes. Come mealtimes, Humans proffer slabs of oozing
pastry called ‘Eel Pie’. I opt for starvation.
After any sojourn in foreign parts, no sight is so touching in its majesty as the first glimpse of Altdorf’s great spires on the
horizon. In his impeccability our divine Unberogen patron, first of our Emperors, chose this place for his seat. It was a
bare and meagre fishing village when he was born here, but Sigmar left it a gleaming metropolis. He raised his marble palace
upon the banks where the mighty Talabec and Reik converge, home of our greatest leaders since that day. Now everything
that a long life can countenance is here. The ships, towers, colleges, domes, theatres, and temples lie open to the god-king’s
appraisal and the bells in the cathedral call his worshippers to muster. He still regards Altdorf with pride and benevolence.
This is his, the city of the Heldenhammer. It was then, it is now, and so shall it be forever.
