Horned Darkness (Daemon)

Chaos Portal

Games Portal Necromunda

The Horned Darkness is among a number of Daemons, that some in the depths of Necromunda's Hive Primus sometimes call upon.^[1]

Those facing death can desperately beseech it in order to live beyond their allotted life-span, and the Daemon is able to grant that last wish for a price. Those marked by the Horned Darkness, however, will be required to conduct Human sacrifices to the Daemon in order to sustain their lives. In time, though, the powers granted by the Horned Darkness will eventually turn its victims into Chaos Spawns.^[1]
