Welcome to a new war. To all 40K gamers in
the world that Seek something more. This book is
to bring a new feel and element of gaming to the
warhammer 40k game. Gone are the great and
vast armies. Gone is the constant presence of
powerful and fear causing weapons. On Arien
you will learn to trust, work with and even
love the grunts of your codex.
You will lead small teams where every
warrior under your command will become
unique in many various ways. No longer feeling
alone amongst billions of other souls, every
action, from every man, woman or creature,
will have effects that spread across the table
top.
Arian rests. No spin to its axis. No orbit to call its own.
Three starssurround the planet and they too hold their position. A
never ending pull towardseach other while Arian repels them away.
Between these struggles a lone moon istossed around in the
fluctuating strengths of gravity, immersed within a sea of
star ship remains.
This is all that need be known for now. This is your planet.
Your new home.The only place you are likely to ever know again.
Gone are the ways in which totravel the stars. Species all strive
for individual needs and travel in differentways, but everyone who
gets stranded on Arien will hold no means for escape.
Welcome to Arien. Your fall from grace will come soon
enough.Your guide ready to meet you should you live

Pain!It rides through your body on a shockwave of
awareness.Youreye lids crease and part.The glare flows to your
retina.
Focus comes to you.A blurred shadow of feet and legs stand
before
you.So it has come to pass again. Arien gives shelterto another
victim of the Trio. Now do not rush
yourself. Take your time to feel the pull of thisworld. I am no
threat to you,just a travellerofthis world.I have no need to hear
your story, pulled fromthe Warp, a scientist who got to close or
awarrior who picked a fight to big. It mattersnomore. Iwill just
tellyou how luckyyou are,one ofa few,if notthe only survivor of
your vessel.Now get up and spit out that sand. I know thefood here
is scarce but there is always betterstuff to eat than that
grit,although somethings taste toobad to swallow.Your energies must
be drained, your musclesweak and your mind confusedso I know you
arenot a threat to me for now. I have no agenda. Ihave merelyheld
myself to an Oath,to helpthose in need, if I can, and offer advice
andguidance to new arrivals of Ariensembrace.
Lesson number one; Where are you?Arien is the planet in which
youwillcome tocallhome. Do not waste your time trying to get
freefrom this planet. The Trio make sure no oneleaves. And they are
called Onet, Revati andAndromedae. I will tell you of all three at
a latertime but right nowthe glare of Revati is strongabove us and
we should move.Currently we stand on the deserts of TheTulkas
Plains,the harshest of many deathlyprovinces. Here there is no life
to be found, noresources to be mined, no luxuries to be givenand no
unknownthreats to strike you down.Fortunately you fell close to
what can be called,of sorts, a safe haven.A simple walk to
thehorizon and we will be at New Triton City,theonlysuccessful
settlement to establish itself into a
hub for the planets limited habitants.
