Aevum Crucia
The Aevum Crucia are nine tomes of Chaos lore, which also contain the collected names of the Lord of Change known as the Prince of Silver Tears.[1]
The tomes were among the Heretical artefacts that were possessed by the Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Cartensus, but he hid them across the planet Scartia Dorath. The world was the location of his personal safe house and he was there when the Thousand Sons attacked, as they sought to possess his collection. Though Cartensus managed to call Justicar Ulleceus Barron of the Grey Knights for aid, he was captured and brought before the Traitor Sorcerers. They pried into the Inquisitor's mind for the location of the Aevum Crucia, but were only able to learn the location of 7 of the tomes. The Thousand Sons then began their search and left Cartensus for dead, where he was later found by Justicar Barron. The mortally wounded Inquisitor was then able to warn the Grey Knight of the Thousand Sons' goal before dying of his wounds. Now a desperate race across Scartia Dorath's surface has begun, as both sides seek to collect all of the Aevum Crucia's tomes.[1]
