–End Message–

The Argyles boast that they can trace their lineage back to Lord Asher himself, though that was a long time ago. This Pariah House has fallen from the greatest heights of the Spire to become pauper princes in the mid-hive. Due to the sheer incompetence of their forebears they have lost all their holdings save one manufactorum where the family now resides with what amenities they could carry with them. The family now plots and schemes to one day return to the vaunted heights of the spire.

Bradin, the seventh son of the house of Argyle, was raised as much by the factory staff as by house nannies and tutors. If it wasn’t for his birth order his shrewdness and direct nature may have well saved the family name. Unfortunately he was always overlooked by his parents and siblings, left to his own devices much of the time. Thanks to his sister’s marriage to a naval officer he was granted the opportunity to join the Imperial Navy. Attending primer schools as well as being assigned to ride alongs on some of the hive’s shipping craft Bradin began to resign himself to a life of orders and procedure.

That life would never come to fruition, as Bradin’s fate is entwined with that of The Magnificence. With a single astropathic message his life was hijacked by friends, family, and strangers, all vying for the promise of reward at the price of a man’s freedom. Soon Bradin found himself whisked to the void and into the belly of The Magnificence where his life would be forever changed. Now he must unravel the mystery of the grand cruiser’s last voyage or be lost in its hull forever.
