Taker of Heads
Mortifactors
Stories and individual episodes involving the Mortifactors. In Swordwind, Adoni’s return to Posul is distinct from the recollection of his Deathwatch mission. Other works retain their own events; the shared Chapter establishes neither one campaign nor a sequence of sequels.
