An Extract from
The Great Book of
Banishment
Chapter X
Being a Description of the Diverse Artifacts
with which the Righteous shall Equip themselves against the Undead
The Book
Keepest thou the sacred book with thee always, so
none that are unclean may come nigh unto it. And its pages shall be of vellum,
inscribed in the high tongue. And the leather bindings shall be graven with all
the marks of Sigmar. When thou reciteth from the book, speakest thou with
authority, that the evil-doer may tremble at thy words and shrink back from thee,
for they cannot show their faces to righteousness.
The Stake
& The Hammer
Seek the holy tree of Sigmar and from its staves,
cut thee sturdy stakes. Harden then the spike in the holy flame, while reciting
the words of banishment. Take thou thine hammer, like unto that which holy
Sigmar wielded on his day of valour. Let it be graven with his holy sigil,
against which nothing that is unclean may prevail. And know ye that the unclean
shall be dispatched with but three strikes of the hammer upon the stake. And
the stake will penetrateth the heart of the evil one and accomplish the
banishment for all eternity. And when thou striketh, say the prayer of Sigmar.
The Mirror
Take thou a mirror of polished silver which
cometh out of the Dwarf realms and tarnisheth not. Behold, it is incorruptible
metal and revealeth the souls of men. Keep it discreetly and let not anyone see
it in the palm of thine hand. Whosoever shall have no reflection in the mirror
ye shall deliver unto them the holy stake of banishment.
The Sacred
Water
And thou shalt have with thee a phial and the
sacred water of the well of Sigmar shall be within it. Draw thou this from the
holy temple upon his feast day. Behold the sacred water burneth the flesh of
the Undead and causeth them to recoil from thee.
The Sign of
Sigmar
And this shall be the mark of the witch hunter.
He shall wear the sign of Sigmar which is the Twin-Tailed Comet. By this sign
his foes may know that the power of holy Sigmar is with him. And none shall
withstand the wrath of holy Sigmar, who cometh to save the righteous from the
depredations of evil. And whosoever maketh the sign of Sigmar with his hand, he
also shall be protected.
