Abhumans and Madmen of the Ætern Sector

“In an insane age, the madman leads the way!"

Teetering on the edge of the Galaxy, the Ætern Sector is a madhouse swirling around the event horizon of an ancient and unholy Warp anomaly. Populated by no end of mutants, monsters and mystics, it is simultaneously a bastion of Imperial might and an incessant hive of conspiracy, violence and half-fogotten secrets. Some were drawn here by the mysterious Ænigma Damnatio. Others were compelled by the tick-tick-ticking of the Great Clock. The hour of midnight draws near. Time is counting down. Prepare yourself.

ÆTERN IS CALLING.

Abhumans and Madmen of the Ætern Sector is a homebrew expansion and setting gazetteer for the Ætern Sector project, created by the anons of /tg/ more than a decade ago and under continuous refinement and development ever since. We've tried out best to bring the Sector to life with a shocking plethora of new character creation options, monsters, allies, foes, lore, equipment and then some, compatible with Only War and Dark Heresy, 2nd Edition, published by Cubicle 7 games. 

By the numbers, Ætern has:

• 43 Homeworld options for Dark Heresy, 2nd Edition, from the Nanoplague-twisted madness of Agharta to the irradiated forge-fortresses of Kronak and the spaceborn monstrosities of the Net of N'Zoagew.
• 23 Regiments for Only War, most with unique gear and abilities. Hunt your prey as a Carstein Dragulman, ride down the foul Eldar as a Cataphract of Aspbed, or take to the hills in defense of your world as a Salonikan Armatole!
• 17 new Elite Advances and Advanced Specialties, from the Frankensteinian Aghartan Half-Eldar to the ghoulish Pale Strain and the utterly alien Sisters of the Abyss.
• 11 new Xenos factions: Pit your wits against the technocratic Vadh'rorc, seek glory against the mighty Zacith, or witness the unbridled anarchy of the Be'enteshaai, and more!
• 57 new NPCs: from alien war machines to war-weary mercenaries and the nightmarish horror-forms of the Black Terror.
• 91 new weapons, upgrades, tools, vehicles and pieces of gear: Equip yourself with the finest of Lionan las-weapons, or wield the Daemon-devouring Shamshirs of Sycorax!
• Spectacular all-original art by Matt Clarke, 101ho, BadConceptArtist, NEY0, MieR, Uncle Krees, Jipowap von Angband, TheTrueGuy, Anonymous, and Konigstein, including an entire sector of heraldic symbols.
• And more!

If you're looking to dive head-first into a new take on the Warhammer 40000 setting full of Gothic intrigue, nightmarish theology, and curiously refreshing mint-based beverages, Ætern is the place for you.
