{{TzeentchPortal}} The '''Screaming Cage''' is a hideous [[Chaos]] artifact that was created by a [[Keeper of Secrets]] known as [[Asteroth]]. == History ==The [[Daemon]] was initially trapped and found by members of the [[Order of the Blessed Inquiry]]. This divison of the [[Adepta Sororitas]] was not engaged in battle but instead sought to study the imprisioned Daemon in order to learn secrets that could be used to fight Chaos. This continued in secret for three hundred years where many members of the Order fell victim to the Daemon's lies.
Eventually, Asteroth was partially freed and he destroyed the convent which became a lost order within the [[Imperium]]. Taking the ruined bodies of seven hundred Sisters, the Keeper of Secrets stitched their forms and minds together into what it considered as a work of art. Their minds forged into a single construct that became known as the Screaming Cage; a large screaming sphere with the bones of the Order attached to it. As the Daemon sought to kill the few remaining Sisters, a young [[Ephrael Stern]] seemingly committed suicide. However, the Order of the Blessed Inquiry that resided within the Screaming Cage used what power they had to bring her back to life and filled her with great power to combat Chaos. Once returned, she was told to flee and the Sisters hid her presence from the forces of Chaos. Stern's memory of these events were erased but her unnatural power as a [[Daemonifuge]] made her the object of suspicion with many viewing her as a corrupt vessel of Chaos.
