Scent of a Traitor
Chaos Cultists
Stories in which Chaos cults substantially shape a conspiracy or conflict. A Slaaneshi cult operates on Adumbria. Independent cults do not form one campaign; cultist presence does not imply Chaos Space Marine involvement. In Auric Gods, the cult is tied to the Vexen Cage conspiracy; its scheme is distinct from independent cults on other worlds.
