The Black Arc is a powerful Skaven magical artefact.[1a]
Within is a huge chunk of Warpstone held and suspended in energy.[1a] Opening the Arc will bring down the wrath of the Horned Rat on a foe and cause devestation on all.[1a]
History
In 2491 IC, the abbot of La Maisontaal Abbey, Bagrian, infiltrated Skavenblight and stole the Black Arc, returning to study it in his monastery at La Maisontaal. The Grey Seer Gnawdoom is dispatched to recover it and makes a short-lived alliance with the Lichemaster Heinrich Kemmler to attack the monastery,[1b] killing Bagrian and retrieving the Arc.[2a]
