“They are beyond comprehension, beyond mortal flesh, beyond even time and mortality. They are beyond many things, but never my hate!” ~ Inquisitor Lias du Ortise, Ordo Malleus ~
The Imperium fights in a time of constant war: there are countless threats to humanity’s continued survival, and more arise every day. Heretics and mutants infest the most populous hive planets, spreading their evil in dark places far from the Emperor’s light. Xenos races attack from every edge of the galaxy, expanding their foul empires and mocking the order and justice that flows from the Emperor’s throne.
Yet all of these foes can be acknowledged. Every loyal citizen of the Imperium is wary for heresy, and the xenos races are a well-known threat. So perhaps the greatest war is the war that must be fought in secret, against the Daemons and the powers of Chaos that live within the Warp. Mankind uses the Warp daily for both travel and communication; if the true nature of the Warp and the beings that dwell within were to become known, civilization would surely descend into anarchy.
In Enemies Beyond, a new supplement for Dark Heresy Second Edition, you become an Acolyte with the Ordo Malleus - those tasked with battling the foul Daemons of the Warp. New Acolyte options allow you to play an Exorcised character or a powerful Astropath, while gazetteers offer information on Daemonic threats to the Askellon sector, and GM's will find rules for creating Daemon Princes, details on the rites of possession and exorcism, and guidance for crafting adventures for the Ordo Malleus.
