Ceremony of Blood

The Mandestri, a brand-new blood cauldron connected to the great Mother Cauldron and font Morathi’s power – has been terribly damaged. Its cursed iron surface has splintered and must be repaired through rite and sacrifice. Morathi-Khaine herself leads a great ritual intended to heal the Mandestri’s wounds, channelling a vast quantity of potent gore through a sacred sacrificial shrine magically linked to the Mother Cauldron. But enemies seek to impede her plans; they must be driven back – or fed to the Mandestri themselves.

Game Master Notes

These notes exist to help you run through the Quest. They are put here by the creator and should give you some direction as to what they had in mind when they created the Quest

I’ve not set this Quest in anything more specific than Ulgu, so it should be able to be played anywhere. That said, it could also be played outside the Realm, if you do so, be sure to include that in your comments when you’re done resolving the Quest!

- The Weaver -

This battleplan lets you stage a macabre ritual with your Daughters of Khaine army, even as the enemy seeks to disrupt it. You could play as the enemy or the Daughters!

In Age of Sigmar (alter for Warcry)

The Armies:
Each player picks an army. One player is the Daughters of Khaine player. Their opponent is the Usurper. The Daughters of Khaine player must use a Daughters of Khaine army that includes Morathi-Khaine and the Shadow Queen.

The Battlefield
First, set up 4 Blood Font markers in the locations shown on the map. Then, set up an appropriate terrain feature to represent the Ritual Shrine at the centre of the battlefield.

Set-Up
The Daughters of Khaine player sets up Morathi-Khaine and the Shadow Queen within 1″ of the Ritual Shrine. The remaining units in the Daughters of Khaine army must be set up wholly within 6″ of any Blood Font markers. The Usurper then sets up their army wholly within their territory, as shown

First Turn
The Usurper takes the first turn in the first battle round.

Blood Fonts

These sacred fonts are filled with the hot blood of recent sacrifices. The Blood Font markers in this battle are controlled in the same way as objectives. At the end of each of their turns, the Daughters of Khaine player can roll a dice for each Blood Font marker that they control. On a 5+, they can heal up to D3 wounds allocated to
the Ritual Shrine in the centre of the battlefield. 

Battle Length
The battle lasts until the Ritual Shrine in the centre of the battlefield is destroyed or for 5 battle rounds, whichever happens first.

In Soulbound

I think this could be a great Quest for a Soulbound team. Destroying the Mandestri will severely limit the Daughters’ ability to wage war in the location it’s found, and would be of utmost importance to other factions in the area!


Rewards

Sometimes a Quest creator will tell you what you get for completing the Quest, depending of the outcome of course. If there is nothing, you can obviously create your own rewards, ahhh… imagine the possibilities…

No matter what happens, the Daughters of Khaine that protect the Mandestri will have it out for the people who attempt the destruction of the Cauldron. I do believe they would attack out of revenge the next time they’re able. If they still possess the power of Mandestri, they should probably get a buff, possibly an extra Command point in round one if playing AoS.
