n this description it states some of the different “soul-cleansing” done to the heretics.
I am already familiar with acro-flagellation from the witchunter codex but I would like to know if anyone knows what the others consists of. Is their any fluff or descriptions anywhere. It could be fun to see what my inquisitor does with his sparetime
The three others are:
– Deathmasking
-Soul-scouring
-Trial of castigation
__________________________________
Bring the Heretic and All Who Stand By Him To Justice (Justice) – Mandates with this or similar wording instruct their bearer to capture those listed in it, so they may be questioned and led to repentance. The authorised holder can take into custody anyone who opposes them – and to be captured by any Imperial agency is a grim fate. The bearer counts as having the Lex Imperialis from The Long Arm of the Emperor’s Law article.
The Emperor’s Will Is Merciless, Let None Survive (Vengeance) – This Mandate is often issued to Inquisitorial Stormtrooper and Execution units, or military expeditions such as Crusades. Rather than specifying certain individuals as targets, it tends to target organizations or regions. It is also, in extreme cases, the document that entitles the agents of an Inquisitor to call an Exterminatus.Those who carry this are made fully aware of the level of sin and debasement in their enemies. The bearer counts as having the Demagogue Special Ability from the Recongregator Sourcebook.
Stand Not For the Works of The Witch (Contempt) –Often issued by Witch hunters to their pursuit teams, this Mandate condemns the work of the rogue Psyker,and provides chants known to disrupt the ability of psykers to concentrate and access the warp. The character may spend actions chanting the text of the Mandate, with the result that any psyker within 15 yards cannot use any Concentration Actions.
Obey Him, For His Word Is Mine (Obedience) – Granting the bearer the full power of their patron, this Mandate isissued only to the most trusted of agents. The bearer counts as having the Leader special ability. If they alreadyhave it, they count as having the Ultimate Leader ability from ‘It’s All in the Mind’. If they already have UltimateLeader… well, perhaps they should have moved beyond being the servant to being the master by then.
To Surrender Is To Be Damned (Stubbornness) –Mandates of this type have the most fearsome threats for those who fail. Servitorisation, Deathmasking, lengthy Excruciation, and other, darker, punishments are all common consequences of failure. The fear induced by this is such that those bound under it will go to nearly any lengths to accomplish their mission.
Many Rogue Trader charters are famed across the stars such as the Lost Charter of the Phrax Family, said to contain a drop of the most holy blood possible, that of the Emperor himself, the Steel Charter of Agamar Strick, and the Occult Charter of the nameless master of the Arrowflight, which broke the Aethyr Barrier in the Yalx System. However, the 189th Imperial Valuation Committee This pict capture shows the hunted Inquisitor Adelmar,with the text that he is accused of stealing, the Liber Abelesco Rex. Though the precise location was not included in the file, it is thought this was during his battles against the Order of the Purging Furnace on Baruch III.

drugs And Poisons
Recreational drugs, although not illegal in most parts of the Empire, are frequently associated with dubious rituals and cults by the Cult of Sigmar. Attitudes are more liberal in large cities where dens can be found offering spit, weirdroot, or Ranald’s Delight. Poison is not illegal either, but owning poison is bound to raise questions about its intended use.ItemCostEncAvailabilityBlack Lotus20GC0ExoticHeartkill40GC0ExoticMad Cap Mushrooms5GC0ExoticMandrake Root1GC0RareMoonflower5GC0ScarceRanald’s Delight18/–0ScarceSpit1GC 5/–0RareWeirdroot4/–0RareBlack Lotus: This deadly plant grows in Southland jungles and is used for blade venom.

Resisted with a Difficult (–10) Endurance Test.Heartkill: Combining the venoms from an Amphisbaena (a rare, two-headed serpent) and a Jabberslythe produces an odourless, colourless poison. When ingested, the deadly mixture inflicts 4 Poisoned Conditions. Resisted with a Difficult (–10) Endurance Test.Mad Cap Mushrooms: These hallucinogenic mushrooms are eaten by Goblin fanatics before battle. They induce a berserker rage, adding +10 Strength, +4 Wounds, and the Frenzy Talent. When the effect wears off, the user loses 1d10 Wounds. Non-Greenskins must also pass a Challenging (+0) Endurance Test or contract a Minor Infection. Duration: Active when chewed plus an additional 2d10 minutes.Mandrake Root: This highly-addictive deliriant grows under gallows, and is chewed to keep an unquiet mind still. Users must pass a Willpower Test every Round to perform an Action or a Move (choose one); further, Movement is halved. However, Cool Tests receive a bonus of +20. Duration: Active when chewed plus an additional 1d10×10 minutes.Moonflower: This tranquilliser is a dried moss which grows only on leaves in the Laurelorn forest. Elves use Moonflower to treat Black Plague, granting a bonus of +30 to any associated Tests for Elves to resist the disease, otherwise it has no effect on their species. Others can inhale vapours from boiling the moss XI306
and if they fail a Very Hard (–30) Willpower Test will gain an Unconscious Condition; if passed, they receive a bonus of +20 to Cool Tests and gain a Fatigued Condition. Moonflower is used by the most expensive Physicians as an anesthetic. Duration: 1d10+5 hours.Ranald’s Delight: This highly-addictive stimulant is a synthetic compound made from sulphur, mercury and other elements. Inhaling the powder provides a bonus of +1 to Movement, and +10 to WS, S, T, and Agi. This last for 3 hours, after which the user suffers a penalty of –2 Movement and –20 on Weapon Skill, Strength, Toughness, and Agility. Duration: 1 day.Spit: Extracted from Chameleoleeches found in the marshes of the Empire, this extraordinarily powerful hallucinogen brings visions of something deeply desired, such as a lost lover, a dead friend, or a missing child. Called Spit on the streets, it’s popular with those lost to despair. Upon exposure, you must pass a VeryHard (–30) Toughness Test or be lost to a fully real fantasy, which is a matter for the GM to handle. Duration: 1d10 minutes.Weirdroot: One of the most common street-drugs in the Empire, Weirdroot is chewed, bringing a sense of euphoria and pleasant hallucinations, which some suggest may be connected to the Winds of Magic. The drug gives a +10 bonus to Toughness and Willpower Tests, but a penalty of –10 to Agility, Initiative, and Intelligence Tests. Duration: Active when chewed plus an additional 1d10×10 minutes.
Herbs and draugHts
Medicinal herbs can either be purchased or gathered from the wild (see Gathering Food and Herbs on page 127). Preparation with Trade Tools (Herbalist) is usually required to extract the plant’s medicinal ingredients and create poultices.

Mind Cleansing
“I often praise the Emperor’s mercy that I have been freed from my own memories. Despite my transgressions I have been given a chance to serve. I am free of my own guilt but I strive to remember the shame I should feel.”–Acolyte Heronius Dyle
Individual Inquisitors have different opinions on the process of mind cleansing; often, this involves complex psycho-viral, mimetic, and telepathic alteration to selectively edit a subject’s memories and thought patterns. Whilst mind cleansing can be a useful tool, it is a process that requires a not-insignificant investment of time and resources. Many Inquisitors have no trouble using every tool at their disposal, but others are more select about the application of their influence, particularly when it comes to adjusting the minds of loyal servants or retainers.The benefits of mind cleansing are quite evident; those who have witnessed secrets too terrible for sanity to bear can be rehabilitated, whilst others who have learned that which is forbidden or better left forgotten may be reclaimed from what would otherwise be an automatic death sentence for knowing too much.In addition, the mind-cleansed individual often retains his skills (often rare or specialised talents that are in such demand that the individual warrants mind-scrubbing rather than death!). In some cases, mind cleansing is a form of reward to a loyal retainer, eliminating harrowing experiences and curing chronic nightmares of the dark things that Inquisitors and their allies must confront as a matter of course.More often, mind cleansing is used as a safeguard or a punishment for those the Inquisitor finds weak-willed, untrustworthy, or worse. In such cases, these individuals are often executed once their effectiveness comes to an end.However, mind cleansing also presents a number of drawbacks, not the least among them that the process makes it difficult for a loyal and able servant to learn from his own mistakes or those of his predecessors. The process can render an Acolyte unable to draw important correlations between past events, and there are some Inquisitors who refuse to subject their agents to mind-cleansing, preferring a cadre than can think on their feet.In the Calixian Conclave, the process of mind cleansing is used with some regularity by many Inquisitors. These Calixian Inquisitors tend to follow a vaguely defined methodology for mind-scrubbing that generally falls into one of three seperate categories:
Forbidden Lore: In the course of serving the Inquisition, an acolyte often encounters many terrible facts, not the least of which is the certain knowledge that the Imperium is under constant threat from heresy, aliens, and daemonic influence. From the Ruinous Powers who lurk within the warp to the numberless hordes of alien fleets on the fringes of the galaxy, there are some things man was simply not meant to understand. Whilst an Inquisitor may trust a chosen few with such knowledge, for many others, it ranges from distraction (at best) to outright panic on a planetary or system-wide scale. High rank, wealth, and authority is little protection from the sanity-twisting horrors the Inquisition keeps at bay, and even such heroes as Imperial Guard Generals and, in rare cases, Space Marines must have their memories expunged to remain a trustworthy servant of the Emperor.
Dark Secrets: There are some mysteries that the Inquisition considers too dangerous to be known, some revelations too destructive to witness. Nevertheless, from time to time, agents of the Holy Ordos stumble onto the solution to one of these enigmas—and thus, they must be silenced, their memories stolen and locked away. The Inquisition knows well the maxim that “knowledge is power,” and they consider certain knowledge so powerful it requires—nay, demands—to be kept hidden.
Baneful Influence: Faith is the greatest strength of those who serve the Inquisition, but sometimes even faith is not enough. Possession, xenos pheromones, and the mind-warping powers of a rogue psyker are merely a few of the pitfalls that an Acolyte of the Inquisition may encounter during his service. When an Inquisitor’s servant falters, mind cleansing is often as much a blessing as a curse, for it can sometimes remove or mitigate the corrupting influence wielded by the Emperor’s foes.

It is the creed of the Fulgurite to tear the life energy from the galaxy – in particular the bioelectricity that animates living souls. Also known as the Brotherhood of Petrified Lightning, they wish to harness the animus of their foes and bind it to the Omnissiah, reclaiming the Motive Force and solidifying it with the power that dwells in the care of the Tech-Priests.

During the secession of Segmentum Pacificus, the rebel forge world Moirae is destroyed by retaliatory Exterminatus, but not before the Moirae Schism has split the Adeptus Mechanicus in two. The ensuing conflict draws Titan Legions and even those Space Marine Chapters affiliated to the Adeptus Mechanicus into the turmoil. The schism takes a heavy toll on the Adeptus Astartes, resulting in the death of dozens of companies and the excommunication of several Iron Hands clans. It takes over two millennia of desperate warfare before the Moirate doctrines are considered fully purged.
Source: Vanguard
<We are the teeth of the Omnissiah,> she declared in serene code as a barrage of plasma fire burst against her conversion field. <Initiate Purgation Sequence Decensus>.
Across the entire convoy skitarii warriors opened fire in perfect synchronicity, ranks of vanguard from the gunwales and smaller groups of rangers from the observation decks. Together they rained solid rounds and blistering arcs of electricity into the jungle, shredding vegetation and vermin in sweeping swaths of destruction as they chased down and obliterated the snipers.
—
<War is our sacrament,> the Alpha Primus chanted, amplifying her codecast into a white noise hymnal that sent a current of fidelity through the cohort. She had been fashioned by Magos Caul personally, prised from death’s grip and reassembled piece by broken piece into a perfect warrior. Many of the skitarii revered her as an avatar of the Machine-God, a belief the magos neither encouraged nor repressed. <In its absence we are but empty vessels awaiting the hallowed promethium of spite.>
The vanguard responded with a chorus of hoarse voices and serrated static, singing their praises to the Machine-God as they cleansed the xenos stain.
—
During the final years Caul had been obliged to cooperate with the tau, but he had done it in the Omnissiah’s name, seizing the opportunity to study their technology. The depth of their heresy had appalled him, for their machines were diabolical contrivances imbued with thought, devoid of spirit.
—
—
Phaestus-IR01’s vision glitched again as the cohort’s Alpha Primus joined the sensory chain to the watchtower. All Alphas could access their squad members optics at short range, but the Primus could interface with every warrior in the force, even across great distances. Phaestus-IR01 held his breath reverently as he felt her icy assessment of the xenos.
—
Catching sight of the waiting tau, Viharok-TH01 unslung his radium carbine and thumbed the power stud, offering its spirit his fealty. Like many skitarii, he revered his weapon as his master, believing his hands were merely tools to aid its will. In his case there was some truth to it, for his rifle was a priceless relic whose spirit had been stirred to permanent wakefulness by the magos. Such “cognis” weapons hungered to fulfill their purpose, actively compensating for small flaws in a wielder’s aim.
“By thy will I ignite thee and charge thee well” Viharok-TH01 chanted in jagged lingua technis, leading his squad in the Seventh Litany of Liquidation.
<In thy light I smite with thee,> they reciprocated in reverent feedback.
“For thy spite I will slay or die for thee,’ Thorium’s Alpha concluded.
Neither fear nor doubt were functioning variables in the skitarii psyche. Where a common man might feel anxiety, the skitarii experienced only anticipation.
—
Submerging himself in the datasphere, the magos cast his consciousness further afield, leaping from one relay beacon to the next, riding the datastreams that shadowed Phaedra’s labyrinthine waterways, seeking the holy warriors he had entrusted with his fate.

Caul withdrew his mechafilaments and intoned the seventh mantra of Algebraic Concord to dispel the spectre of frustration.
Source: Deus Ex Machina:
The Praetorian’s plasma cannon crackled up to a full charge, a compressed lightning bolt which would annihilate anything within metres of its impact point.
Lakius was shouting out command dogma: “Praetorians! Audio primus command! Deus ex Terminus est.”
—
Praetorian swivelled round and trained its plasma cannon on Lakius and Osil, its eye glowed with single-minded determination to destroy as it narrowed at them.
“Ergos Veriat excommen!” Lakius shouted hoarsely. “Shut down!”
The Praetorian sagged down on its chassis like a puppet with its strings cut and the crisis was over as suddenly as it had begun.
—
“All set?” Magos Egal trilled to Renaillard, who nodded his assent. “Places everyone! Lakius, you stand with me and we can all chant the liturgy of activation together.”
Chanting in choral tones, Egal made a series of connections and static started to jump from the generator, accompanied by a rising humming noise and the reek of ozone. The black stone shimmered, glittering like quicksilver as it started to deform away from the spiraled needle of the generator. An arch was appearing, tall and tapering, of perfect dimensions and straightness.

Fate of dolphins
-At the beginning of dark age of technology humanity uplifted several species of earth biosphere. Apes were first and dolphins were second of those. Humanity used uplifted dolphins as fighter pilots in forgotten wars. As veteran dolphins suffering from PTSD returned to earth joined their forces with cross species marriage right movement. “Veteran dolphins need earth women” campaign raised public outrage and when sexual practices of combat dolphins high on stimulant were exposed in yellow slates whole species was denied of uplift and reverted back to proto-intelligence. Uplifted apes took a hint from these tragic events and decided to abandon humanity in first possible chance. As apes abandoned humanity they accelerated their evolution and ended up as Jokaero.
