He had seen how his weak body would be stripped away to prepare it for something stronger, something that would bring the dead of empires to the throne of the Blood God.Įverything was blood, in the end. Tellos burned., letting the pain wash over him, become a part of him, searing away the altered flesh and leaving only his bare soul burning. The detonation forced the planet's radioactive core into critical mass, and the nuclear fire that resulted flash-burned the surface of Entymion IV away.

The shockwave shook the whole city as the torpedo bored its way through the planet's crust. He saw the first torpedo streak down through the black clouds and spear into the ground just outside Gravenhold. Most of the Caamasi population were killed in the attack, with an estimated 200 survivors left alive after the bombardment.'Ĭonsidering there was plant life and similar til the firestorms got them, and some survivors, that suggests less than some of the heavier exterminatus methods, though perhaps in line with the lighter methods.
