Heirs of Grimnir, Part 1
A Warhammer Age of Sigmar audio drama
The death of their father sends a band of Fyreslayer Runesons on a quest for revenge - but they may not be targeting the right enemy....
Listen to it because:
Delve into the deepest mysteries of the Unbaki, the Fyreslayers David Guymer wrote about in Realmslayer, in the first instalment of a three-part adventure that will change their fortunes forever.
The story:
The mysterious death of Runefather Aruk-Grimnir and his son and heir, Angruk, spark a crisis in Karag-Unbak, the great Fyreslayers lodge. As his remaining sons squabble over the throne, further disaster is revealed - the gates to the lodge's vault lie open and a treasured possession is missing...one without which the very future of the Unbaki may be cast into doubt. Sure that they know the culprits, the Runesons march to battle - but have they chosen the right foe?

Review of the full HEIRS OF GRIMNIR audio drama.
Disaster has struck the Unbaki lodge, as its Runefather and eldest Runeson have been found murdered and Aruk-Grimnir’s legacy chest stolen. Alongside his remaining brothers and the elderly Battlesmith Firebrand, sixth and youngest Runeson Forn sets out to retrieve the chest, discover who is to become the new Runefather of the Unbak lodge, and take revenge for the dead.
While the main Realmslayer stories have room to follow Gotrek as he rampages across the Mortal Realms, this is (unsurprisingly) smaller scale and lower key. It’s part of the same series, but off at a tangent from the main storyline, less worried about exploring the wider setting than pitting a group of proud, confident (arrogant, really) characters against each other and seeing what happens. If you’re after the visceral enjoyment of fyreslayers (and magmadroths) taking their anger out on their ancestral enemies there’s plenty of that to be found, but the real joy here is simply enjoying a great cast bouncing off each other and having fun with an entertaining script.

Far to short.

I enjoyed the tension between characters, and how they were compelled to strive after vengeance in a competitive fashion. The performance of the Vermin-Lord was particularly fun and made me more tempted to pick up Skaven stories.
