Ravaged by the followers of the Chaos Gods, they stand on the brink of utter destruction. The fortress-cities of Sigmar are islands of light in a sea of darkness. Constantly besieged, their walls are assailed by maniacal hordes and monstrous beasts. The bones of good men are littered thick outside the gates. These bulwarks of Order are embattled within as well as without, for the lure of Chaos beguiles the citizens with promises of power. Still the champions of Order fight on. At the break of dawn, the Crusader’s Bell rings and a new expedition departs. Storm-forged knights march shoulder to shoulder with resolute militia, stoic duardin and slender aelves. Bedecked in the splendour of war, the Dawnbringer Crusades venture out to found civilisations anew. These grim pioneers take with them the fires of hope. Yet they go forth into a hellish wasteland. Out in the wilds, hardy colonists restore order to a crumbling world. Haunted eyes scan the horizon for tyrannical reavers as they build upon the bones of ancient empires, eking out a meagre existence from cursed soil and ice-cold seas. By their valour, the fate of the Mortal Realms will be decided. The ravening terrors that prey upon these settlers take a thousand forms. Cannibal barbarians and deranged murderers crawl from hidden lairs. Martial hosts clad in black steel march from skull- strewn castles. The savage hordes of Destruction batter the frontier towns until no stone stands atop another. In the dead of night come howling throngs of the undead, hungry to feast upon the living. Against such foes, courage is the truest defence and the most effective weapon. It is something that Sigmar’s chosen do not lack. But they are not always strong enough to prevail, and even in victory, each new battle saps their souls a little more. This is the time of turmoil. This is the era of war. This is the Age of Sigmar PROLOGUE The children had been running for several minutes before they realised they were alone. They staggered to a halt and looked back through the trees. It was dusk and every shadow seemed to be moving. They leant against each other, a boy and a girl, their chests hitching, sweat running down their faces. ‘Father?’ whispered the boy, not daring to raise his voice. The monsters were close. He could hear them tearing through the undergrowth, approaching from every direction, howling and snorting, shivering with kill fever. Their father had led them for nearly a mile, taking the old, hidden paths, promising them they would be safe, but now the monsters had found them. And there was no sign of him. ‘Father!’ repeated the boy, louder this time. The girl held a finger to her lips, her eyes glinting in the darkness. ‘They’ll find us.’ ‘We can’t go on without him!’ he snapped, gripping her hand. The girl stared at him, her eyes wide and glistening with tears. ‘Keep moving!’ gasped their father, bursting through a wall of bracken, grabbing them by the arms and hauling them up a muddy slope. ‘You’re hurt!’ cried the boy. His father’s face was grey and locked in a grimace. The side of his jerkin was dark with blood and he weaved from side to side as he ran, stumbling like a drunk. He led them into a small clearing, then halted at the top of the slope and whirled around with his bow raised and an arrow nocked. There was an explosion of branches and leaves. A monster barrelled into the clearing. An orruk. It was huge – as tall as a full-grown man but three times as wide. It was as hunched as all the other greenskins they had seen, its knuckles almost touching the ground and its shoulders bowed by scarred muscle. Its hide was as green as the forest, it had a jaw like a bucket and its eyes were crimson studs. At the sight of its prey it roared, preparing to hurl the spear it was gripping. Then it grunted in confusion, an arrow jutting from its eye socket. The greenskin let out another cry and prepared to hurl its spear again. There was a thunk as an arrow sank into its other eye and the creature finally fell to the ground. ‘Go,’ snapped the man, lowering his bow and shoving his children down the other side of the slope. The three of them sprinted down the path, vaulting fallen trees and leaping over roots. ‘Mother?’ said the boy. The man refused to look at him. ‘Which way?’ gasped the boy, reaching a fork in the path. They could hear greenskins everywhere, howling and blowing on their harsh, braying horns. Their father looked left and right, then sprinted down the right-hand path, snatching a pair of hand axes from his belt as he ran, scouring the trees for signs of another attacker. The woods were dangerous even before the greenskins came. Every glade hid a predator. ‘Almost there,’ wheezed their father, his face growing paler by the minute. ‘Almost where?’ The boy was hanging on to his arm as they ran. ‘We can’t outrun them. Where are you taking us?’ The man led his children up another slope and then they emerged from the trees, with the valley spread out below. They had reached the edge of the forest. Fields of waving grass led down to the fast-flowing waters of a river. Corpses were scattered through the grass, their limbs wrenched into unnatural shapes, broken and butchered by the greenskins. They stared at the bodies. Fellow hunters. People they knew. Friends and relatives. The man whispered a curse. Then he nodded towards a bridge and ran on, charging down the starlit slope as his children scrambled after him, numb with grief, trying to ignore the carnage around them. Howls boomed from the hillside as greenskins emerged from the trees. The boy glanced back. There were dozens, perhaps hundreds of them loping into view, all massive and brutish, all brandishing weapons. Some of them were still wet with blood from the attack on the village.

  • ESSENTIALS of METEOROLOGY (7Th Ed.) GLOSSARY
    ESSENTIALS OF METEOROLOGY (7th ed.) GLOSSARY Chapter 1 Aerosols Tiny suspended solid particles (dust, smoke, etc.) or liquid droplets that enter the atmosphere from either natural or human (anthropogenic) sources, such as the burning of fossil fuels. Sulfur-containing fossil fuels, such as coal, produce sulfate aerosols. Air density The ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume occupied by it. Air density is usually expressed as g/cm3 or kg/m3. Also See Density. Air pressure The pressure exerted by the mass of air above a given point, usually expressed in millibars (mb), inches of (atmospheric mercury (Hg) or in hectopascals (hPa). pressure) Atmosphere The envelope of gases that surround a planet and are held to it by the planet's gravitational attraction. The earth's atmosphere is mainly nitrogen and oxygen. Carbon dioxide (CO2) A colorless, odorless gas whose concentration is about 0.039 percent (390 ppm) in a volume of air near sea level. It is a selective absorber of infrared radiation and, consequently, it is important in the earth's atmospheric greenhouse effect. Solid CO2 is called dry ice. Climate The accumulation of daily and seasonal weather events over a long period of time. Front The transition zone between two distinct air masses. Hurricane A tropical cyclone having winds in excess of 64 knots (74 mi/hr). Ionosphere An electrified region of the upper atmosphere where fairly large concentrations of ions and free electrons exist. Lapse rate The rate at which an atmospheric variable (usually temperature) decreases with height. (See Environmental lapse rate.) Mesosphere The atmospheric layer between the stratosphere and the thermosphere.

  • Adversus Paganos: Disaster, Dragons, and Episcopal Authority in Gregory of Tours
    Adversus paganos: Disaster, Dragons, and Episcopal Authority in Gregory of Tours David J. Patterson Comitatus: A Journal of Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Volume 44, 2013, pp. 1-28 (Article) Published by Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, UCLA DOI: 10.1353/cjm.2013.0000 For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/cjm/summary/v044/44.patterson.html Access provided by University of British Columbia Library (29 Aug 2013 02:49 GMT) ADVERSUS PAGANOS: DISASTER, DRAGONS, AND EPISCOPAL AUTHORITY IN GREGORY OF TOURS David J. Patterson* Abstract: In 589 a great flood of the Tiber sent a torrent of water rushing through Rome. According to Gregory of Tours, the floodwaters carried some remarkable detritus: several dying serpents and, perhaps most strikingly, the corpse of a dragon. The flooding was soon followed by plague and the death of a pope. This remarkable chain of events leaves us with puzzling questions: What significance would Gregory have located in such a narrative? For a modern reader, the account (apart from its dragon) reads like a descrip- tion of a natural disaster. Yet how did people in the early Middle Ages themselves per- ceive such events? This article argues that, in making sense of the disasters at Rome in 589, Gregory revealed something of his historical consciousness: drawing on both bibli- cal imagery and pagan historiography, Gregory struggled to identify appropriate objects of both blame and succor in the wake of calamity. Keywords: plague, natural disaster, Gregory of Tours, Gregory the Great, Asclepius, pagan survivals, dragon, serpent, sixth century, Rome. In 589, a great flood of the Tiber River sent a torrent of water rushing through the city of Rome.

  • Severe Weather
    Juniata County Appendix C Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Hazard Profiles Severe Weather General Severe weather affects the entire Commonwealth and can be expected any time of the year. Severe weather for Juniata County is considered to include: blizzards and/or heavy snowfall, heavy fog, hail, heavy precipitation (rain), high winds, ice storms, unseasonable temperature extremes, hurricanes, and severe thunderstorms. (Tornados will be discussed in a separate profile.) Snowstorms occur approximately five times per year. These storms are more prevalent in the northern and western regions of Pennsylvania and include ice and high wind. They are frequently seen in Juniata County. Hurricanes, tropical storms, and windstorms occur in Juniata County in the spring and summer. Most hurricanes that approach Juniata County are downgraded to tropical storms or tropical depressions by the time they reach central Pennsylvania. Heavy rain and flooding produced by a hurricane, tropical storm, or tropical depression will have the greatest impact on the County. Extreme temperatures can be devastating to any area. Extreme heat can cause sunburn, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat/sun stroke. Likewise, extreme cold can cause hypothermia and frost bite. History Juniata County, as well as the entire Commonwealth, is vulnerable to a wide range of natural disasters. Typically, these disasters are caused by severe weather. A summary of disaster declarations from severe weather that affected Juniata County can be seen below. Disaster Declarations
