The Black Library. Its name is spoken seldom, and accompanied by
warding gestures. Its is a name which brings fear into the hearts of men
whose lives are sworn to battle against the dark forces which seek the end
of the realm of man. It is a place of darkness, a final bastion of knowledge
of the darkest of places, the hope of mankind embodied in the truth of its
destruction.
It was to the Black Library that the Eldar carried their knowledge, in the wake of the Fall, when the galaxy itself writhed in agony and their race died. There, the grim secrets of the Dark Gods lies. There are the names and deeds of the Traitor Legions. There, hidden in the deepest shadows, lies the truth of the Fallen Eldar. There rests the record of the dark soul of man and Eldar, the truth of the terror which the galaxy may yet become. Tread warily, for the Guardians of the Black Library watch these halls, and the Forces of Darkness wait beyond the thin veil of reality.
