This man held the name of Diederick Kastner, a highly devout and zealous Sigmarite templar of the Order of the Twin-Tailed Orb, born scant few years after Magnus the Pious and the first Great War against Chaos. Though Kastner was born as an Imperial in the province of Nordland, it was foretold in the Liber Caelistior, the dread Book of Divination penned by Necrodomo the Insane, that North and South would meet in the Everchosen's blood. And indeed this was so, for he was of both Norscan and Nordlander heritage; his father being a champion from the Varg tribes who forced himself upon a cowering innocent during a raid that saw his birth-village of Hargendorf burnt to the ground in 2390 IC.[7a] With the death of his mother and the hatred of his step-father for his origins, the rape-spawned child would later go on to be adopted by a local Sigmarite priest and become a templar of the Order of the Twin-Tailed Orb,[7b] fighting valorously and faithfully in the service of the God-King Sigmar. But once his true heritage and destiny were revealed to him, Diederick Kastner despaired and looked for salvation, travelling many miles towards the heart of his faith.[6a]
