The Twin-Tailed Comet is a comet that has passed the Warhammer World on at least two occasions: once in IC -30 and then again in 19991.
Its first appearence was immediately prior to the birth of Sigmar, and is hence used as one of the Sigmarite Cult's most prominent symbols. Within Lustria this appearence was seen as the sign of the rebirth of the god Sotek by his prophet Tehenhauin2. This led to a mass migration of Red-creasted Skinks and the rise of the Cult of Sotek, eventually culminating in Clan Pestilens being driven out of Lustria.
The second appearence of the comet was towards the end of Imperial Year 1999. This was followed by several other mysterious omens before the utter destruction of Mordheim, supposedly by the very same comet crashing into it. 1
Notes
- References to the appearence of the comet in relation to Sotek seem to indicate that it occured circa IC year 02, the year of Sigmar's crowning, which contradicts with the established canon that the comet appeared at Sigmar's bith, c. IC -30. It is not known whether this is a timeline error or indicates two different appearences of the comet.
