Support Tales From The Void on Patreon   / talesfromthevoidwh   Hurn Raddow never wanted command. He was a Morthaxian clinker-breaker turned Imperial Guardsman, forced upward through the ranks of the Astra Militarum as every promotion came with another officer’s death. On Hrothgal Minoris, amid trenches, lasguns, Munitorum requisitions, Commissariat pressure, and grim Imperial bureaucracy, Raddow learns that the most horrific way to become a Colonel is not glory, courage, or victory — it is surviving a system that turns dead men into paperwork. In the grim darkness of the far future, even promotion can be a punishment.
