Azyr, the Lore of Heavens, also called the Fourth Lore and known in Grand Cathay as the Meteor Winds or the Elemental Wind of Stone, is the Blue Wind of Magic, and it is said to be a manifestation within the Aethyr of mortals' capability to be inspired and to seek that which is out of reach.

The champions on the front line of the God-King’s wars are known as Stormcast Eternals. Theirs is an endless battle, for whenever these lightning-forged knights die, they are taken up in a blaze of celestial energy and Reforged to fight anew. However, each time they plunge back into the fray, a tiny part of their soul is forfeit, though few will admit that they are gradually paying for their god-given might with the very thing that makes them human.

The Ultramarines epitomise what it means to belong to the Adeptus Astartes. They are beacons of nobility, honour and discipline in a galaxy riven by darkness and disorder. No Chapter holds the Codex Astartes in such hallowed regard as they, and they have utilised its tenets and strategies to achieve glorious victories over ten thousand years.

The band trailed the Goblins across the World's Edge Mountain and into the wilderness beyond. Little was heard of them again except for rumours of the ravages of Bugman and his Dwarf Rangers, of cunning ambushes and night raids against Goblin camps. So has the legend of Josef Bugman persisted to this day.
