Return to The Blightbearers
22nd Line Company
The hand is servant, and therefore watched

Cologne Flour Alarm
The flour had mould; the city supplied the fire
In A.S. 193, Cologne mistook mouldy flour for a Blightbearer's work, burned six bakeries, interrogated two innocent millers, and applauded a fast. The mould required no demon; the damage required authority.

Dossier Carmine
The thinnest file in the Seven still outweighs a province of graves
Dossier Carmine is Inter-Infernal Analysis's thinnest file: Kargath, hunger, Blightmarsh creep, famine aftereffects, abundance hazards, and the brutal mercy of short sentences.
Codex Ref. VIII.7.01-004
Epirus
Salt received. Sovereignty surrendered.

The Famine Pits
The dead are still hungry, and the Bureau prefers not to speculate why.
Fourteen confirmed burial sites in the former Hungarian plain where the dead of the Great Retreat have refused to stop dying. Their hunger radiates into the living. The Bureau classifies this as demonic. Drax does not agree.
Codex Ref. V.6.01-002
The Harvest
The Enemy discovered mercy and weaponised supper
Kargath's Harvest are provision-demons: gentle tenders of impossible crops whose real food fills the body, doubles the hunger, and murders gratitude.
Codex Ref. IV.1.07-014
The Maw-Born
Hunger granted weight, gums, and field classification
Kargath's Maw-Born are appetite given meat: primary physical demons whose doctrine is a mouth, a pit, and the range at which artillery remains useful.
Codex Ref. IV.1.07-011

Hell with a good interest rate receives repeat custom
Velmora's Ten Thousand Keys turn relief into obligation, obligation into worship, and every warm little key into a receipt Hell can collect.
