Summary

Advent Calendar 2018: Day 19

The town of Shadowvel must fall. Unwilling to commit her own forces to bring it down, the Blood Queen Neferata instead sets out to manipulate mutual enemies into destroying Shadowvel.  

Listen to it because: it's a fascinating insight into the ways Neferata manipulates, coerces and teases others into doing her bidding - and into what can incite her displeasure.... 

The story: the town of Shadowvel in the Realm of Shyish lies outwith the domains of Neferata, Mortarch of Blood - but that does not make its inhabitants safe from her displeasure.... 

Shadowvel has stood for centuries against all the hordes of Chaos thrown against it. But Neferata would see it fall, and the Maggotkin hordes of the Children of the Bell are the perfect weapon to wield against the spirits of Shadowvel. And none are better at manipulating a foe than Neferata....

Got bored

The voice acting was to the usual high standard but the story didn't really go anywhere. I suppose if I was an AoS fan (instead of 40K) I might have understood the significance of the events being described but I'm not so I didn't...

A bitter story full of drama

Another example of why I like the Mortarch of Blood. She is petty, and has a huge ego, but she is very clever and is a potent magic user. She is too cynical to think that there is credit to those who value virtue for it's own sake, and that is plainly demonstrated in this short drama. Well done to Annandale, the voice cast, and the sound editing team!
