Detractors say Hollseher’s accounts are fanciful, rich in allegory and hyperbole; although, his introduction goes far to explain that what is penned in the Liber Malefic is exactly what he witnessed. As the Liber Malefic is too terrible for most to absorb, abridged versions of this book were copied by the Priests of Sigmar, to be used as a primer for the horrors of Chaos that a Witch Hunter might face.

| - During his convalescence, Hollseher wrote of what he saw in his visions, creating the Liber Malefic — a guidebook, of sorts, of the terrible legendary locations that are rumoured to lie both inside the Chaos Wastes and the Realm of Chaos. Detractors say Hollseher’s accounts are fanciful, rich in allegory and hyperbole; although, his introduction goes far to explain that what is penned in the Liber Malefic is exactly what he witnessed. As the Liber Malefic is too terrible for most to absorb, abridged versions of this book were copied by the Priests of Sigmar, to be used as a primer for the horrors of Chaos that a Witch Hunter might face. The true Liber Malefic is an enormous tome, weighing nearly fifteen pounds and a full two feet in height. The covers are crafted from simple, black wood, and the title, once written in gilt gold, is barely legible. The plain look of the exterior belies the amazing illustrations and gorgeous penmanship of the Liber Malefic’s contents. There are two different versions of the Liber Malefic. The most common are shortened, edited copies, commonly referred to by Witch Hunters, Sigmarite Priests, and those that hunt down and destroy Chaos. It describes a limited view of several of the legendary locations of the Four Foul Lords of Chaos, which grants insight into how each “lives” and what horrors occur in their domains. These books are small and plain in construction, devoid of the pictures and insanity-blasting illuminations found in the full text.
