History
Tamurkhan sought out the Gallows tree so he could pledge himself further to Nurgle and gain boons from the Pox-mother. His mind straining to retain his sanity, he pledged to destroy the home of Magnus the Pious, Nuln and the Pox-mother rewarded him with the true names of daemons and an amphora filled with pestilent water from the Garden of Nurgle.
