In the year of Our Lord Sigmar 1999, the twin-tailed comet – His symbol – fell upon the corrupt city of Mordheim. Now known as the City of the Damned, all that is left are smoking ruins and the mysterious shards, presumably fragments from the comet, known as wyrdstone. Players take their mercenary warbands into the deserted streets of Mordheim to search and fight for precious wyrdstone. However, humans are not the only denizens of the Damned City to covet the Chaos-touched shards.
