The Book of Sigmar

Das Book of Sigmar ist ein Buch über Sigmars Leben.

Es steht im Book of Sigmar, das ein von einem bösen Geist besessener Mann Sigmar am Fluss begegnete. Er war unglaublich stark und konnte Felsen mit seinen Händen zerdrücken. Der Mann rannte auf Sigmar zu und bettelte um Gnade, woraufhin Sigmar den Dämonen verjagte und nach seinem Namen fragte. Der Dämon im Mann sprach wispernd: "Our Name is Host, for we are many". Der Dämon floh aus dem Körper des Mannes und wurde 13 Tage und Nächte von Sigmar in den Wald verfolgt, bis er sich erschöpft in einem Baumstumpf versteckte. Sigmar erkannte den Dämon und schlug mit seinem Hammer zu und bannte den Dämon auf diese Weise.

"What is this, my Lord? This Beast that has been named Azazel! Shame be upon him! Your realm, Mighty Sigmar, stretches across all the lands of Men, and yet Azazel rejects your dominion, having become enamoured with the palaces where dwell deamons. Therefor Eternal Ruler, Mighty Sigmar, bring your wrath down upon him and cast him into the pit, far from your eyes and the eyes of your people! Verily my Lord, bring your wrath and trials upon him and upon all the generations of those men that did turn with him from the lands of Your eternel Rule." +++The Hate of the Apostate, The Book of Sigmar 8:9+++

"...so Sigmar bound the deamon Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the crevasse that plunged beneath the mountain. Then Sigmar liftet rugged and sharp boulders and threw them after Azazel, covering the deamon's face so that he would not see light. There Azazel did languish 'til Slaanesh sent His armies to bring His deamon prince home." +++The Hate of the Apostate, The Book of Sigmar 9:4+++

"In those days, when the first humans had multiplied, it happend that there were born unto them handsome sons and beautiful daugthers. The deamons of Slaa'neth, known as the Children of Delight, saw these handsome sons and beautiful daughters and desired them. They said to one another, "Come let us choose lovers" for ourselves from amongst the sons and daughters of humanity, for their minds are weak as the Dawi's are not, and their souls dim as the Asur's do not. Amongst them we might rule, and in them we may beget us offspring." But Samael, who was the first among these Deamons, said: "This cannot bem for the sons and daughters of Men are mortal, while you are unmortal. As you now are, no children can you sire nor bear. Let you instead take possession of male and female, and with their bodies around you may you sire and bear children." With Samael's Words in their hearts, two hundreds from among the Children of Delight did take possession of the Bodies of men and women, one hundered of each. And so it was that this two hundred took lovers unto themselves, men and woman both. They taught their lovers magic and incantation, the ways of cutting roots and plants, and how to distil liquor and narcotiv, both sweet and strong. In Woman they sired sons, and from men they took the seed of daughters, and pregnancy came soon after. Yet as their offspring swelled from passion to babe, no souls did they possess, for the Children Delight forbade it of them. Instead, the Children themselves entered the gworing bodies of their own offspring, becoming themselves the sons and doaughers of the mortal realms, while retaining all the immortal might of the Aethyr within. These Creatures that were born from the union of a deamon and flesh were called the Incubi and the Succubi male and female, evil spirits bound upon to the world of mortals. As great as daemons were they, but beauteous as the fairest of humans. The infernal spirits within tehm could not be withdrawn nor banished into the Aethyr, for they were created from mortal men and women and their natural dwelling was the dwelling of all human beings: the immortal world. These Sucubi and their brothers are no food, nor became thirsty, nor could any obstacle stand before them. Seeming as unto gods were they to the poor and ignorant peoples of the world, and though their rule was not unquestioned, it could not be ended by mortal men. The Incubi and Succubi turned against their fathers and their mothers, consuming their lives and their souls, and then the then went amongst the lands and peoples of the world, teaching charms and enchantments as they saw fit, slaying and seeking tribute as desired. The thought men how to seek pleasure and delight, and tought them also arts and sciences; but their actions had always a malicious end and heraldet a time of lawlessness and warfare. But they were deceived, for though the had form and presence in the Mortal Realms and could not be banished thence, they were mortal. Thought they aged not, they could be killed as any being of mortal flesh could be killed, and all that stood between them and final death was the strength of their arms the magic of their eyes and the poison of their words. Then, to the south of the Succubi's realms their rose a mighty warrior, a leader of men, hammer of Goblins and god incarnate. In his twenty-sixth year, Sigmar, called Heldenhammer, turned his gaze to the northern reaches of hte lands he would claim as his Empire. The Succubi and their brother Incubi could not stand before his gaze, and the man-god swept them aside as dry leaves before the autumn wind. Sigmar hunted out the dark ones wherever they sought refuge and brought fierey ruin upon their heads, scattering them into the wastes and ending their unholy reign forevermore." +++Succubi and Incubi, The Dominions of the Heldenhammer, The Book of Sigmar 12:3-9+++
