Acolytes stand to lose life, limb, sanity, and even their souls in the quest to buy humanity even another day.ĭark Heresy was the swan song of Black Industries, Games Workshop's short lived return to RPG publishing. Malicious cults, reality warping daemons, and ruthless aliens lurk around every corner. With nothing to call on but their own wits and whatever firearms they can carry, Acolytes will have to root out and destroy various threats.
They'll be thrown into the labyrinthine politics and dark secrets of the Calixis Sector, a particularly volatile patch of an empire in peril.
Inquisitors wield the authority to put entire planets to death but Acolytes end up doing most of the dirty work. The Imperium's feared secret police, they root out threats to the "human soul" wherever they might lie, even within their own ranks. In Dark Heresy, players take on the roles of Acolytes, the foot soldiers and investigators of the infamous Inquisition. But even this won't be enough in the face of dark gods and all consuming aliens more villainous than even the Imperium. Little more than a corpse, his psychic might barely holds his crumbling domain together and his priests claim he single-handedly prevents human extinction. Its founder, the God-Emperor of Mankind, clings to life through arcane technologies. Zealotry and intolerance are abundant as humanity constantly fends off the countless enemies it has accumulated over the last ten millennia. In fact, we've become our own worst enemy, as trillions live under the oppressive Imperium of Mankind. In the dark future of the 41st millennium, humanity has few defenders left.
