The Merciless Maniple of Maimwrack Warspasm

These words inscribed in scrimshaw, 

Jagged grooves in a Jabberwock’s thigh bone.  

I carved them with a rusted awl while the bone still steamed.  

I am Maimwrack Warspasm. I was born in the echo between oaths.  

Malal found me there. Laughing. Broken.  

My flesh was feeble, so I shed it for clockwork and iron.  

Now my body ticks with hatred and spite.  

I was not born alone, my twin hangs from me like a millstone around my neck.

He mutters mercy and doubt, old prayers I strangled long ago.  

Malal forbade me kill him, so bear him I must, screaming sermons on my back.  

At my side pad a pair of blasphemous hounds from the East. They hunt hope, not meat.  

Dark elves follow me. Silk, poison, and broken promises.  

They would slit my throat for pleasure if I still had one.  

I relish the thought. Treachery is devotion.  

Orcs march by my side. They do not know my god’s name, and that pleases him.  

They only know that I lead them to war.  

War is truth.  

Skaven skitter in the shadows, plotting my fall.  

Whispering and scheming, watching my back, waiting for weakness.  

I savour their gaze.  

I declare war on the gods who claim dominion.  

I am Malal’s contradiction given form.
