A blister on sector Eternum the Malasmorbus Discidum, more commonly called the Bubonic Rift, is the source of most [[Rotbelcher]] and Chaos attacks for the sector. The Horus Heresy saw the traitor fleets flee into [[Putrilocus]], shielded from retribution by the Rift, and except for occasional small raids or attacks, they would remain secure but trapped in their subsector. It was not until Nurgle responded to the Rotbelcher's foul sorcery that the compact rift would expand into the large realspace canker sore it is better known as, an action that heralded the [[First Poxwar]]. Barely beaten back by the Imperium, the traitors returned through the Bubonic Rift to rebuild their forces for the next campaign, coinciding with the expansion of the Eye of Terror this came to fruition during the [[Second Poxwar]]. Scores of traitor vessels flood out of the Rift constantly, and it has gathered an even sicklier aura that is occasionally visible from the Aural Gate during particularly strong surges of the Empyreum. Nurgle's daemons have laid claim to the rift, and any ship that travels near the rift without extremely skilled navigators, strong Gellar fields, and fervent faith, will soon fall victim to countless horrendous diseases that earn a constant source of fresh flesh for the god of decay. | A blister on sector Eternum the Malasmorbus Discidum, more commonly called the Bubonic Rift, is the source of most [[Rotbelcher]] and Chaos attacks for the sector.
