'''Ossorian''' is an [[Imperial]] [[Industrial World]], whose population in the city of '''Carchera''' whisper about the legend about of the [[Valgaast Train]]. According to rumors, it travels around the city on moonless nights, stopping only at disused stations, before taking its passengers to [[Valgaast]]. No one knows where or what Valgaast is, as it does not appear anywhere on Ossorian's current maps, but it is supposed to contain hordes of treasurestreasure. This has drawn the interest of many who wish to become wealthy, but those that find and board the train, will not be able to leave afterwards. The Valgaast Train simply moves too fast to safely disembark and will only open its doors where more passengers are rady to come aboard. Its passengers are also blocked from reaching its locomotive, by groups of pale silent robed figures who bar their path. When the train finally stops for good, the robed figures disembark and the other passengers will find they are not at Valgaast. Instead they are at the '''Bogardus Complex''', whose manufactories closed down centuries ago and is hundreds of miles away from Carchera. With the train no longer moving, the passengers are likely to follow the robed figures who enter a nearby tunnel chamber and begin chanting. Once that chanting stops, however, a monstrous [[Genestealer Patriarch]] will appear and the robed figures, who are in fact members of its [[Genestealer Cult|Cult]], will block the train's passengers from leaving. The Patriarch will then begin feeding on the passengers, as the Cult has spread the myth of the Valgaast Train in order to draw in food for it to consume. Only a few passengers will be spared from this fate and become new members of the Cult, after receiving the [[Genestealer's Kiss]]. Those that are chosen are then returned to Carchera, where they begin spreading rumors about the Valgaast Train and the immense wealth it will take its passengers to.{{Fn|1}}
