The '''Gheistos Cataclysm''' was a major [[Daemonic]] incursion upon the [[Agri-World]] of [[Gheistos]] in the early years of [[M41]].{{Fn|1a}}
==Overview==
[[File:Gheistos Cataclysm.jpg|right|thumb|The Gheistos Cataclysm.]]
The doom of Gheistos began with a seemingly insignificant incident. A worker no older than 12 began hearing voices and suffering from crippling headaches. Unaware that he was a latent [[psyker]], the boy was brought before the shiftmaster during a particularly severe headache for failing to work diligently enough. In the thrall of his headache, the boy lashed out with a strange curse that not even he understood. Reality began to buckle and fat-bodied flies bearing the boys own face and chanting prayers to the [[Chaos God]] [[Nurgle]] disgorged from his mouth. The boy shattered open like a gory flower and, now acting as a daemonic portal, allowed something terrible to begin to push its way out of the [[Warp]].{{Fn|1a}}
