THE BOOK OF NECRON

A RECORD OF THE WARS BETWEEN EARTH AND HELL

IN THE TIMES OF THE DEATH WARS

NECRON 13:18-

18 NOW THE CREATION OF MESOSTOPHELES WAS ON THIS WISE; WHEN AS HIS FATHER TEL' AMON MASTER OF THE DARK ARTS WAS ENJOINED ON A MIGHTY SPELL HE LOST CONTROL AND WAS BEGUILED BY A SUCCUBUS AND THE SHEBITCH WAS FOUND WITH CHILD.

19 THEN TEL' AMON BEING A JUST A MAN, AND NOT WILLING TO MAKE A PUBLICK EXAMPLE, WAS MINDED TO KEEP HIS MISDEED PRIVATE

20 BUT WHILE HE THOUGHT ON THESE THINGS, BEHOLD, A SERVANT OF THE DEVIL APPEARED TO HIM IN A DREAM, SAYING, TEL' AMON, THOU SON OF MAN, FEAR GREATLY ON THE RESULTS OF THY UNION WITH THIS DEMONIC buttercup, FOR THAT WHICH IS CONCEIVED IN HER IS MORTAL AND POSSESSED OF AN EVIL SPIRIT.

21 AND THE SHEBITCH BRING FORTH A SON AND SHALL CALL HIS NAME MESOSTOPHELES; FOR HE SHALL DESTROY THE PEOPLE IN THEIR SINS AND CURSED SHALL BE THY NAME. FOR YOURS IS THE FAULT OF THIS BANE ON HUMANKIND.

22 AND YEA, FURTHERMORE, YOUR PLACE IS YET UNFINISHED. FOR IN PAYMENT FOR THEY SIN, THOU ART CALLED ON TO RAISE THIS HELLSPAWN; TO TEACH HIM SOMEWHAT IN ALL THY LEARNING'S. BEHOLD I NOW PLACE THE GEAS ON THEE, THAT THOU ART BONDED TO THIS CHILD

32 AND IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME, THE CHILD WAS BORN. AND VOLCANOES ERUPTED IN THE PLAINS NEARBY THE LAND CALLED COMPASSION. AND THE NECROMANCER TEL' AMON TOOK HIM AND RAISED HIM.

37 AND WHEN THE CHILD FOUND HIMSELF IN THE GUISE OF HUMAN FORM. HE DESTROYED HIS FATHER AND VENTURED OUT UPON THE COUNTRY OF BRITANNIA.

AND THUS IT IS WRITTEN
