{{topquote|You’ll get [[Blam|what you deserve]] soon enough. We [[Primaris Space Marines|Primaris Marines]] are the future, and we will be the death of you.|[[Primaris Lieutenant|Lieutenant]] Xedro Farren of the [[Dark Angels]], about the [[Firstborns]]}}

The main goal of this codex is to finally merge the firstborn and the primaris marines. I change almost every primaris unit to made them as adaptable as possible, like the firstborn before them.

'''If you have any suggestions or ideas, please post them in the Talk page. I would be very grateful.'''

==Army Rules==
===Abilities===
*'''Angels of Death:''' ''Space Marines are amongst the finest warriors in the Imperium.''
::This unit has the following abilities, which are described below: <u>And They Shall Know No Fear</u>; <u>Bolter Discipline</u>; <u>Shock Assault</u>; <u>Combat Doctrines</u>.

*'''And They Shall Know No Fear:''' ''Space Marines stand unafraid before the terrors of the galaxy.''
::Each time a Combat Attrition test is taken for this unit, ignore any or all modifiers.

*'''Bolter Discipline:''' ''To a Space Marine, the bolter is more than a weapon - it is an instrument of Mankind’s divinity, the bringer of death to his foes.''
::Instead of following the normal rules for Rapid Fire weapons, models in this unit shooting Rapid Fire bolt weapons make double the number of attacks if any of the following apply:
::*The shooting model’s target is within half the weapon’s range.
::*The shooting model is {{W40kKeyword|INFANTRY}} and its unit Remained Stationary in your previous Movement phase.
::For the purposes of this ability, a Rapid Fire bolt weapon is any bolt weapon with the Rapid Fire type.

*'''Shock Assault:''' ''The Adeptus Astartes are elite troops who strike with the fury of a thunderbolt. Few opponents can withstand this onslaught.''
::Each time this unit fights, if it made a charge move, was charged, or performed a Heroic Intervention this turn, then until that fight is resolved, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of models in this unit.

*'''Combat Doctrines:''' ''When the Adeptus Astartes fight, they employ a set of combat doctrines to eliminate the enemy. After pounding the foe with heavy weapons, warriors advance to lay down a hail of bolter fire before charging forth with chainswords roaring to finish the foe.''
::If every unit from your army has the {{W40kKeyword|ADEPTUS ASTARTES}} keyword (excluding {{W40kKeyword|AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM}} and {{W40kKeyword|UNALIGNED}} units), this unit gains a bonus (see below) depending on which combat doctrine is active for your army, as follows:
::*During the first battle round, the Devastator Doctrine is active for your army.
::*During the second battle round, the Tactical Doctrine is active for your army.
::*At the start of the third battle round, select either the Tactical Doctrine or Assault Doctrine: until the end of that battle round, the doctrine you selected is active for your army.
::*During the fourth and subsequent battle rounds, the Assault Doctrine is active for your army.
::Unless specified otherwise, '''this bonus is cumulative''' with any other rules that improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of a weapon.
::*<u>Devastator Doctrine</u>: While this combat doctrine is active, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of every Heavy and Grenade weapon that models in this unit are equipped with by 1.
::*<u>Tactical Doctrine</u>: While this combat doctrine is active, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of every Rapid Fire and Assault weapon that models in this unit are equipped with by 1.
::*<u>Assault Doctrine</u>: While this combat doctrine is active, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of every Pistol and Melee weapon that models in this unit are equipped with by 1.

===Deployment Abilities===
*'''Combat Squads:''' ''Space Marine squads can break down into smaller, tactically flexible formations known as combat squads.''
::At the start of deployment, before any units have been set up, if this unit contains the maximum number of models that it can, then it can be split into two units containing as equal a number of models as possible. When splitting a unit using this ability, make a note of which models form each of the two new units.

*'''Concealed Positions:''' ''Vanguard forces often infiltrate the battlefield ahead of the main advance, taking up forward positions to ambush the foe.''
::During deployment, when you set up this unit, if every model in this unit has this ability then it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from the enemy deployment zone and any enemy models.

*'''Death From Above:''' ''The Angels of Death launch their attack from all directions. Troops equipped with jump packs descend from the heavens, guns blazing as they slam into battle.''
::During deployment, if every model in this unit has this ability, then you can set up this unit high in the skies instead of setting it up on the battlefield. If you do, then in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models.

*'''Outflank:''' ''When necessary, Space Marine units can operate behind enemy lines indefinitely, awaiting the perfect opportunity to appear on the enemy’s flank and wreak havoc.''
::During deployment, if every model in this unit has this ability, then you can set up this unit behind enemy lines instead of setting it up on the battlefield. If you do, then in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases you can set up this unit wholly within 6" of any battlefield edge and more than 9" away from any enemy models.

*'''Teleport Strike:''' ''Space Marine strike cruisers and battle barges contain baroque chambers fitted with ancient technologies that can teleport the Angels of Death into the very heart of battle.''
::During deployment, if every model in this unit has this ability, then you can set up this unit in a teleportarium chamber instead of setting it up on the battlefield. If you do, then in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models.

===Detachment Rules===
An {{W40kKeyword|ADEPTUS ASTARTES}} Detachment is one that only includes models with the {{W40kKeyword|ADEPTUS ASTARTES}} keyword (excluding models with the {{W40kKeyword|AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM}} or {{W40kKeyword|UNALIGNED}} keyword).
*{{W40kKeyword|ADEPTUS ASTARTES}} Detachments gain the <u>Company Command</u> ability.
*{{W40kKeyword|ADEPTUS ASTARTES}} units (excluding {{W40kKeyword|SERVITOR}}) in {{W40kKeyword|ADEPTUS ASTARTES}} Detachments gain the <u>Chapter Tactics</u> ability.
*Troops units in {{W40kKeyword|ADEPTUS ASTARTES}} Detachments gain the <u>Objective Secured</u> ability.
*At the end of your Command phase, if one or more {{W40kKeyword|ADEPTUS ASTARTES}} Troops units from your army are within range of an objective marker you control, that objective marker remains under your control, even if there are no models within range of it, unless your opponent controls it at the end of any subsequent phase.

'''Company Command:''' ''When Space Marines are deployed to battle, the honour of leading them often falls to the Captain of a company and his esteemed Lieutenants.''
:You can include a maximum of one {{W40kKeyword|Captain}} model and two {{W40kKeyword|Lieutenant}} models in each Detachment in your army.

'''Chapter Tactics:''' ''Each Chapter has its own combat philosophy suited to the unique skills of its battle-brothers.''
:All {{W40kKeyword|ADEPTUS ASTARTES}} units (other than {{W40kKeyword|Servitor}}) with this ability, and all the models in them, gain a <u>Chapter Tactic</u> and a <u>Combat Doctrine Bonus</u> so long as every unit in their Detachment is from the same {{W40kKeyword|<Chapter>}}. The tactic and the bonus gained depend upon which {{W40kKeyword|<Chapter>}} they are from, as shown on the following pages.

'''Objective Secured:''' ''The warriors of the Adeptus Astartes are sworn to defend the Imperium of Mankind. While a single Space Marine still stands, the light of Humanity will never fade.''
:If your army is Battle-forged, all Troops units in {{W40kKeyword|Faction Keyword}} Detachments gain this ability. Such a unit that is within range of an objective marker (as specified in the mission) controls the objective marker even if there are more enemy models within range of that objective marker. If an enemy unit within range of the same objective marker has a similar ability, then the objective marker is controlled by the player who has the most models within range of it as normal.

===Weapon Definitions===
Some rules refer to ''bolt weapons'', ''flame weapons'', ''melta weapons'' or ''plasma weapons''. The definitions of these weapons for the purposes of such rules can be found below:
*'''Bolt weapons:''' ''Sacred instruments of destruction, they are the hallmark of the Space Marines. Harnessing the fury of self-propelled mass-reactive shells, they strike with the force of a meteor, smiting the Emperor's foes with devastating effect.''
::A bolt weapon is any weapon whose profile includes the word "bolt", and any Relic that replaces a bolt weapon. Rules that apply to bolt weapons only apply to the bolt rifle profile of a combi-weapon, and the bolt rifle profile of Relics that replace a combi-weapon.
*'''Combi-weapons:''' ''Instruments of versatility, they offer the Space Marines unparalleled flexibility on the battlefield. By combining multiple armaments into a single weapon, these arms ensure the Adeptus Astartes are always prepared for any threat that may arise.''
::A combi-weapon is any rifles-flamer, rifles-melta, rifles-plasma, rifles-grav, and any Relic that replaces a combi-weapon.
*'''Flame weapons:''' ''Purifiers of the Emperor's wrath, they incinerate the enemy with promethean fire. Their cleansing flames engulf the foe, leaving naught but ash in their wake.''

*'''Grav weapons:''' ''Harnessers of gravity itself, they crush the enemy with irresistible force. By manipulating the very fabric of reality, these arms reduce even the most formidable foes to mere dust, their defeat a testament to the technological prowess of the Imperium.''
::A grav weapon is any weapon whose profile includes the word "grav", and any Relic that replaces a grav weapon. Rules that apply to plasma weapons only apply to the grav-gun profile of a rifle-grav, and the grav-gun profile of Relics that replace a rifle-grav.
*'''Melta weapons:''' ''Annihilators of the enemy's fortifications, they ignite all in their path. Utilizing controlled fusion reactions, these arms reduce steel and flesh alike to slag.''
::A melta weapon is any weapon whose profile includes the word "melta", any inferno pistols, and any Relic that replaces a melta weapon. Rules that apply to melta weapons only apply to the meltagun profile of a rifle-melta, and the meltagun profile of Relics that replace a rifle-melta.

::Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when an {{W40kKeyword|ADEPTUS ASTARTES}} {{W40kKeyword|Biker}} unit from your army Falls Back. Until the end of the turn, that unit is still eligible to shoot, even though it Fell Back.

*'''Orbital Bombardment (3 CP):''' ''The Chapter's orbiting warships stand ready to unleash hell.''
::Use this Stratagem in your Command phase, if an {{W40kKeyword|ADEPTUS ASTARTES}} {{W40kKeyword|WARLORD}} from your army is on the battlefield. Select one point on the battlefield and place a marker on that point. At the start of your next Command phase, roll one D6 for each unit within 6" of the centre of that marker, adding 1 if the unit being rolled for is within 3" of the centre of the marker and subtracting 1 if the unit being rolled for is a {{W40kKeyword|CHARACTER}}.

If the target is currently performing an action, it immediately fails.

*'''Steady Advance (1 CP):''' ''A measured advance allows Space Marines to unleash a steady stream of fire.''

===Wargear Stratagems===
*'''Auspex Scan (2 CP):''' ''Nearby motion and radiation signatures are detected by a handheld device, forewarning the bearer of ambushes.''
::Use this Stratagem at the end of the Reinforcements step of your opponent's Movement phase. Select one {{W40kKeyword|PRIMARIS}} {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} unit from your army that is not within Engagement Range of any enemy units. That unit can shoot as if it were your Shooting phase, but its models can only target a single eligible enemy unit that was set up as Reinforcements this turn and that is within 12" of their unit when doing so.

*'''Melta Bomb (1 CP):''' ''Melta bombs are fusion charges designed to burn through an armoured hull in a matter of seconds.''
::Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when an {{W40kKeyword|ADEPTUS ASTARTES}} {{W40kKeyword|Melta Bomb}} unit from your army is selected to fight. Select one model in that unit; that model can only make one attack this phase, and must target an enemy {{W40kKeyword|Vehicle}} or {{W40kKeyword|Monster}} unit with that attack, but if a hit is scored, that unit suffers D3+3 mortal wounds and the attack sequence ends.

::Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a {{W40kKeyword|VINDICTOR}} model from your army is selected to shoot. Until the end of the phase, each time that model makes an attack with a Bellicatus missile array, it can fire all of its weapon profiles as if they were different weapons. These attacks do not have to be allocated to the same target.

*'''Vengeance Rounds (2 CP):''' ''Those special bolt ammunition were created using unstable flux core technology that makes them hazardous to use but extremely potent at penetrating through heavily armoured targets.''
::Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a {{W40kKeyword|Venator Squad}} unit from your army is selected to shoot with. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack with a Nemesis bolt carbine, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1. In addition, if that attack is allocated to an enemy model, that enemy model cannot use any rules to ignore the wounds it loses.

*'''Overlapping Shields (1/2 CP):''' ''By surging their armours' refractor fields, the Subjugators are able to raise a formidable defensive aura, encompassing the entire squad and deflecting hostile volleys with ease.''
::Use this Stratagem in any phase, when a {{W40kKeyword|SUBJUGATOR SQUAD}} unit from your army is selected as the target of a ranged attack. Until the end of the phase, models in that unit have a 4+ invulnerable save. If that unit contains 5 or fewer models, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.

*'''Smokescreen (1 CP):''' ''Throwing down a hail of smoke grenades or deploying their smoke launchers, the Space Marines screen themselves from the enemy.''
::Use this Stratagem in your opponent's Shooting phase, when an {{W40kKeyword|ADEPTUS ASTARTES}} {{W40kKeyword|Smokescreen}} unit from your army is selected as the target of an attack. Until the end of the phase, each time an attack is made against that unit, subtract 1 from that attack's hit roll.

==Adeptus Astartes Warlord Traits==
If an {{W40kKeyword|ADEPTUS ASTARTES}} {{W40kKeyword|Character}} model is your {{W40kKeyword|Warlord}}, you can use the Space Marines Warlord Traits table below to determine what Warlord Trait they have. You can either roll one D6 to randomly generate one, or you can select one. If you wish, instead of selecting a Warlord Trait from either of the tables below, you can select a Chapter Warlord Trait for your {{W40kKeyword|WARLORD}}, but only if they are from the relevant Chapter.

When you have determined a Warlord Trait for an {{W40kKeyword|ADEPTUS ASTARTES}} {{W40kKeyword|Character}} model, replace all instances of the {{W40kKeyword|<Chapter>}} keyword in their Warlord Trait (if any) with the name of the Chapter that your model is drawn from.

*'''1: The Imperium's Sword:''' ''This warlord hurls himself forwards with unbridled ferocity, cutting down the foe like a reaping whirlwind.''
::*You can re-roll charge rolls made for for this {{W40kKeyword|Warlord}}.
::*Each time this {{W40kKeyword|Warlord}} fights, if it made a charge move or performed a Heroic Intervention this turn, then until that fight is resolved, add 1 to its Strength and Attacks characteristics.

*'''2: Iron Resolve:''' ''Faith and duty drive this warlord relentlessly onwards as he shrugs off injuries that would lay lesser warriors low.''
::*Add 1 to the Toughness characteristic of this {{W40kKeyword|WARLORD}}.
::*When this {{W40kKeyword|WARLORD}} would lose a wound, roll one D6; on a 6 that wound is not lost.

*'''3: Brilliant Strategist:''' ''Only the most able commanders can take the guidance of the Codex Astartes and adapt it further to secure victory.''
::In your Command phase, you can select one friendly {{W40kKeyword|<Chapter>}} unit within 6" of this {{W40Kkeyword|WARLORD}}. Until the start of your next Command phase:
::*Each time a model in that unit makes an attack, if the ''Tactical Doctrine'' is active for your army, then the ''Devastator Doctrine'' is considered to be active for that attack instead.
::*Each time a model in that unit makes an attack, if the ''Assault Doctrine'' is active for your army, then the ''Tactical Doctrine'' considered to be active for that attack instead.

*'''4: Battle Mechanic:''' ''Keeping the Chapter's vehicles in good condition and battle ready is a priority for this warlord.''
::At the end of your Movement phase, unless this {{W40kKeyword|WARLORD}} is a {{W40kKeyword|TECHMARINE}}, it can repair one friendly {{W40kKeyword|<Chapter>}} {{W40kKeyword|VEHICLE}} model within 1" of it. That {{W40kKeyword|VEHICLE}} model regains 1 lost wound. Each model can only be repaired once per turn. If this {{W40kKeyword|WARLORD}} is a {{W40kKeyword|TECHMARINE}}, then each time it uses its Blessing of the Omnissiah ability, the model it is repairing regains up to D3+1 lost wounds instead of D3.

*'''5: Nullificator:''' ''This warlord seeks out by any means necessary the answers to the Psychic threat.''
::This {{W40Kkeyword|WARLORD}} can attempt to Deny the Witch as if it were a {{W40Kkeyword|PSYKER}}. If this {{W40Kkeyword|WARLORD}} is a {{W40Kkeyword|PSYKER}}, in each of your opponent’s Psychic phases, this {{W40Kkeyword|WARLORD}} can attempt to Deny the Witch one additional time.

==Librarius Discipline==
Before the battle, generate the psychic powers for {{W40kKeyword|Psyker}} models from your army that know powers from the Librarius discipline using the table below. You can either roll one D6 to generate each power randomly (re-rolling duplicate results), or you can select which powers the psyker knows.

When a {{W40kKeyword|Psyker}} model from your army manifests a psychic power from this discipline, replace all instances of the {{W40kKeyword|<Chapter>}} keyword on that psychic power (if any) with the name of the Chapter that your {{W40kKeyword|Psyker}} is drawn from.

*'''1: Might of heroes:''' ''The psyker cages the immense power of the immaterium within the physical form of one of his brothers, making the blessed warrior the Emperor’s vengeance made manifest.''
::'''Warp Charge:''' 6
::<u>Blessing</u>: If manifested, select one friendly {{W40kKeyword|<Chapter>}} {{W40kKeyword|PRIMARIS}} model within 12" of this {{W40kKeyword|Psyker}}. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, add 1 to that models Strength, Toughness and Attacks characteristics.

::'''Warp Charge:''' 7
::<u>Witchfire</u>: If manifested, the closest enemy unit within 18" of this {{W40kKeyword|Psyker}} suffers D3 mortal wounds. If that unit is not destroyed, roll one D6; on a 4+ that unit suffers 1 mortal wound. Then, if that unit is still not destroyed, roll one D6; on a 5+ that unit suffers 1 mortal wound. Then, if that unit is still not destroyed, roll one D6; on a 6 that unit suffers 1 mortal wound.

*'''4: Fury of the Ancients:''' ''Calling upon the myths of his Chapters home world, the psyker sends forth a terrifying monstrosity wrought from psychic energy.''
::'''Warp Charge:''' 6
::<u>Witchfire</u>: If manifested, select one enemy model that is within 18" of and visible to this {{W40kKeyword|PSYKER}}. Draw a line between any part this {{W40kKeyword|Psyker}}’s base and any part of the selected model’s base (or hull). Roll one D6 for each unit that line would pass over or through, adding 1 if the unit being rolled for contains 11 or more models and subtracting 1 if the unit being rolled for is a {{W40kKeyword|Character}}. On a 4+, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.

*'''5: Soul Sight:''' ''The Librarian shares his warp-sight his brethren, causing their eyes to glow with an ethereal light. So empowered, no foe can escape their omniscient gaze; the souls of their targets flare like flaming beacons in the dark.''

::<u>Blessing</u>: If manifested, select one friendly {{W40kKeyword|<CHAPTER>}} unit within 18" of this {{W40kKeyword|PSYKER}}.

*'''6: Psychic Fortress:''' ''Drawing on boundless reserves of inner strength, the psyker constructs a powerful field of shimmering psychic energy around himself as well as any nearby battle brothers, protecting them from harm.''
::'''Warp Charge:''' 7

==Litanies of Battle==
All {{W40kKeyword|Priests}} know the ''Litany of Hate'' (see below). In addition, before the battle, generate the additional litanies for {{W40kKeyword|Priest}} models from your army that know litanies from the Litanies of Battle using the table below. You can either roll one D6 to generate each litany randomly (re-rolling duplicate results), or you can select which litanies the priest knows.

When a {{W40kKeyword|Priest}} unit from your army recites a litany, replace all instances of the {{W40kKeyword|<Chapter>}} keyword on that litany (if any) with the name of the Chapter that your {{W40kKeyword|Priest}} is drawn from.

*'''0: Litany of Hate (Aura):''' ''The Chaplain fuels his battle brothers with hatred and exhorts them to strike the foe harder and harder, without mercy.''
::If this litany is inspiring, then while a friendly {{W40kKeyword|<Chapter>}} {{W40kKeyword|Core}} or {{W40kKeyword|<Chapter>}} {{W40kKeyword|Character}} unit is within 6" of this {{W40kKeyword|Priest}}, each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack, you can re-roll the hit roll.

*'''1: Litany of Faith (Aura):''' ''The Chaplain exhorts his charges to steel themselves against even the most dangerous weapons the enemy can bring to bear.''
::If this litany is inspiring, then while a friendly {{W40kKeyword|<Chapter>}} {{W40kKeyword|Core}} or {{W40kKeyword|<Chapter>}} {{W40kKeyword|Character}} unit is within 6" of this {{W40kKeyword|Priest}}, each time a model in that unit would lose a wound as the result of a mortal wound, roll one D6: on a 5+, that wound is not lost.

*'''2: Brutal Dirge (Aura):''' ''The Chaplain strikes a fearsome figure, his skull mask inspiring awe in his brothers and terror in his enemies.''
::If this litany is inspiring, then while an enemy unit is within 6" of this {{W40kKeyword|Priest}}:

::*Subtract 1 from Combat Attrition tests taken for that unit.

*'''3: Catechism of Fire:''' ''The Chaplain calls upon his brothers to unleash a relentless storm of close-range firepower.''
::If this litany is inspiring, select one friendly {{W40kKeyword|<Chapter>}} {{W40kKeyword|Core}} or {{W40kKeyword|<Chapter>}} {{W40kKeyword|Character}} unit within 6" of this {{W40kKeyword|Priest}}. Each time a model in that unit makes a ranged attack against the closest eligible target, add 1 to that attacks wound roll.

*'''4: Mantra of Strength:''' ''The Chaplain focuses his mind on the purity of the blood that runs through his veins, bestowed upon him by the Primarch himself.''
::If this litany is inspiring, add 1 to this {{W40kKeyword|Priest}}’s Attacks and Strength characteristics, and add 1 to the Damage characteristic of melee weapons this {{W40kKeyword|Priest}} is equipped with.

::If this litany is inspiring, select one friendly {{W40kKeyword|<Chapter>}} {{W40kKeyword|Core}} or {{W40kKeyword|<Chapter>}} {{W40kKeyword|Character}} unit within 6" of this {{W40kKeyword|Priest}}. Until your next Command Phase, that unit is treated as having remained stationary during its Movement phase for all rules purposes.

*'''6: Psalm of Silence:''' ''Witches quail beneath the gaze of the faithful, and the shining spirit of the Chaplain burns those who waver.''
::If this litany is inspiring, select one enemy {{W40kKeyword|Psyker}} unit within 6" of this {{W40kKeyword|Priest}}. Subtract 1 from Psychic tests taken for that unit, and each time a Psychic test is failed for that unit, roll one D6: on a 5+, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.

==Adeptus Astartes Relics==
If your army is led by an {{W40kKeyword|ADEPTUS ASTARTES}} {{W40kKeyword|WARLORD}}, you can, when mustering your army, give one of the following Adeptus Astartes Relics to an {{W40kKeyword|ADEPTUS ASTARTES}} {{W40kKeyword|CHARACTER}} model from your army. Named characters and {{W40kKeyword|VEHICLE}} models cannot be given any of the following Relics.

When a model from your army is given an Adeptus Astartes Relic, replace all instances of the {{W40kKeyword|<CHAPTER>}} keyword in that Relics rules (if any) with the name of the Chapter that your model is drawn from. Note that some Relics replace one of the models existing items of wargear. Where this is the case, you must, if you are using points values, still pay the cost of the wargear that is being replaced. Write down any Adeptus Astartes Relics your models have on your army roster.

===Generic===
*'''Artificer Armour:''' ''Crafted by the finest artificers of the Chapter, these ornately detailed suits of armour provide superior protective capabilities that rival even Terminator plate. All who set eyes upon the wearer know that an honoured champion of the Imperium stands before them.''
::The bearer has a Save characteristic of 2+ and a 5+ invulnerable save.

*'''Master-crafted weapon:''' ''Within the armouries of each Space Marine Chapter, the finest artificers seek to fashion weapons of ornate magnificence and utter lethality. Even with no name, they are breathtaking examples of weaponsmith’s craft, be they potent firearms or gilt-chased blades.''
::When you give a model this Relic, select one weapon that model is equipped with (this cannot be a weapon whose profile includes the word ‘master-crafted’). Improve the Damage characteristic of that weapon by 1. If that weapon has more than one profile, add 1 to the Damage characteristic of all profiles of that weapon. Combi-weapons are considered as two different weapons. That weapon is considered to be a Chapter Relic.

===Equipments===
*'''Aeolus Ageis:''' ''Appearing on the battlefield in a tornado, the bearer of this personal teleporter seems to be protected by the wind itself. In the fury of battle, even a small breeze could destabilize the fiercest opponent and forced him to make a fatal mistake.''
::*The bearer has the <u>Teleport Strike</u> ability.
::*Each time you make an unmodified saving throw of 5+ for the bearer against a melee attack, after the attacking model’s unit has finished making its attacks, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound.

*'''The Armour Indomitus:''' ''The Armour Indomitus was forged long before the Horus Heresy. Unlike the plasteel and ceramite of normal power armour, the artefact is made from plates of raw adamantine, making it all but unbreachable by conventional weaponry. When rained upon with heavier fire, the Armour Indomitus manifests a shimmering force field, the secrets of which have long been lost to modern artificers.''
::*The bearer has a Save characteristic of 2+.
::*Add 1 to the Wounds characteristic of the bearer.
::*Once per battle, before making a saving throw for the bearer, it can activate its armour’s force field. If it does, then until the end of the phase, the bearer has a 3+ invulnerable save.

*'''The Honour Vehement:''' ''A single stanza of script, the original of which was said to have been penned by the Emperor himself, the Honour Vehement is inscribed on thrice-blessed parchment and affixed with a purity seal upon its bearer's armour. So potent is the inspirational value of the Emperor’s own evocation that not only those who bear it, but all their battle-brothers are driven into a relentless killing fury.''
::The bearer has the following ability: "<u>The Honour Vehement</u> (Aura): While a friendly {{W40kKeyword|<CHAPTER>}} {{W40kKeyword|CORE}} unit is within 6" of the bearer, each time that unit fights, until that fight is resolved, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of models in that unit. This is not cumulative with the additional attack granted by the <u>Shock Assault</u> ability."

*'''Quasimedicae-pattern Servoskull:''' ''Prototype developed by the Genetors of Dantis III, this Servo-skull is equipped with archaic electroshock systems and Incitamentum chemical stimulants injectors that could revive even the most wounded soldier for a short period of time.''
::*If the bearer has lost any wounds, at the start of your turn it regains 1 lost wound.
::*The first time the bearer is destroyed, you can choose to roll one D6 at the end of the phase instead of using any rules that are triggered when a model is destroyed (e.g. the ''Only in Death Does Duty End'' Stratagem). If you do, then on a 4+, set the bearer back up on the battlefield as close as possible to where it was destroyed and more than 1" away from any enemy models, with D3 wounds remaining.
::(Disclaimer: I created this relic BEFORE the League of Votann release. But knowing their publication method, it is impossible that they stole the idea. It is a very simple relic.)

*'''Scutum Imperialis:''' ''This finely crafted storm shield incorporates gyrodynamic actuators that interlace with the wearer's own plate. When its augur-class spirit detects incoming harm, its preservation routines spring to life, raising the shield before the wielded even notices the threat.''
::Model with a '''storm shield''' only. Each time the bearer would lose a wound as a result of a mortal wound, roll one D6: on a 3+, that wound is not lost.

*'''Tome of Malcador:''' ''Malcador the Sigillite was the trusted aide of the Emperor himself. The most potent Human psyker of the time, the tome he penned on the nature of reality enhances the mind of the reader.''
::{{W40kKeyword|Librarian}} model only.
::*The bearer knows one additional psychic power from the Librarius discipline.
::*The first time this model suffers Perils of the Warp, it does not lose any wounds.

*'''The Vox Espiritum:''' ''Developed by Archmagos Cawl, the Vox Espiritum is a powerful neural amplifier that causes its wearer’s voxed utterances to resonate on a modulated and heavily warded frequency. Though still highly experimental and not altogether safe, it allows its user to project their bellowed commands - and sometimes even unspoken mental imperatives - directly into the minds of friend and foe alike.''
::*Add 3" to the range of the bearer’s aura abilities, to a maximum of 9". This does not increase the range of the <u>Narthecium</u> ability and aura abilities that are Psychic Powers.
::*Each time the bearer uses an ability in your Command phase that specifies a range, add 3" to the range of that ability, to a maximum of 9".

===Ranged Weapons===
*'''Bellicos bolt rifle:''' ''The forge world of Bellicos was a hidden weapons-testing facility given dispensation to practise near heretical levels of technological innovation. Before it was swallowed by the Great Rift, the planet managed to dispatch a single cargo hauler containing prototype bolt rifles of an incredibly advanced pattern. These weapons are regarded with a borderline religious reverence for their bellicose lethality, and to wield one is considered a paramount honour.''
::Model equipped with a '''master-crafted bolt rifle''' only. This Relic replaces a '''master-crafted bolt rifle''' and has the following profile:

*'''Purgatorus:''' ''This bolt pistol is a true work of the artificers art. Since its forging in M35, many battle-brothers have used the pistol to purge traitors, tyrants and heretics from the Emperor’s realm. The weapon’s machine spirit is wrathful, its aim inescapable; in many ways, Purgatorus epitomises the very warriors who wield it.''

Constructed with superior venting coils and with an inner barrel of a mysterious heat-conducting crystal, these plasma pistols can be fired repeatedly without overheating.''

===Melee Weapons===
*'''The Burning Blade:''' ''This ancient broadsword is so large and dense that no mere Human could lift it, let alone wield it in battle. It was recovered from the wreckage of Horus’ battle barge, the only unblemished artefact in a chamber crawling with the filthy taint of Chaos. Some artificers have posited that it is the Master of Mankind’s greatness that shines out from its sacred steel.''

Crafted from the most potent materials and rare amongst the Space Marines even ten thousand years ago, these finely crafted weapons have sundered the foes of Mankind across the galaxy.''

*'''Teeth of Terra:''' ''The origins of the Teeth of Terra lie shrouded in mystery. Mentions of this large, obsidian-toothed chainsword can be found dotted throughout the histories of many Space Marine Chapters, yet the weapon itself can be traced to no artisans' hand, nor can it be found in any Chapter’s Armoury save in times of the greatest need. What is certain is that, when wielded in battle by a true hero of the Imperium, the Teeth of Terra strikes with the force of a thunderbolt, leaving a bloody trail of broken bodies in its wake.''

|''Master of the lightning-fast armoured assault, the the Aurora Chapter armoury boasts more battle tanks than many other Space Marine Chapters. Its vehicles are manufactured on its homeworld of Firestorm, a planet covered with industrial macrofactorums to rival most Forge Worlds in scale. Their output ensures that the Aurora Chapter's vehicles never need fear ammunition shortages.''

<u>'''Chapter special Rules'''</u>
*'''Chapter Tactic - Armoured Assault:''' ''The Aurora Chapter preferred method of battle is a massed attack led by heavily armoured battle tanks, a strategy that has earned them renown throughout the Ultima Segmentum and beyond.''
::*{{W40kKeyword|Battle Tank}} units with this tactic gain the {{W40kKeyword|CORE}} keyword.
::*Each time a model with this tactic makes an attack, if that model’s unit disembarked from a {{W40kKeyword|Battle Tank}} {{W40kKeyword|TRANSPORT}} model this turn, add 1 to that attack’s hit roll.

*'''Combat Doctrine Bonus - Firestorm Thunders:''' ''On their homeworld, countless millions of indentured menials work in the munitorums night and day to feed the mighty guns of the Aurora Chapter's companies, ensuring that their weapons never fall silent.''
::Whilst the ''Devastator Doctrine'' is active, each time a unit with this ability makes a ranged attack with a heavy weapon, an unmodified hit roll of 6 scores 1 additional hit.

*'''Warlord Trait - Tank Commander:''' ''Few other Adeptus Astartes can match this warlord's strategic genius and tactical acumen on the battlefield when it comes to armoured warfare.''
::In your Command phase, select one friendly {{W40kKeyword|Aurora Chapter}} {{W40kKeyword|Battle Tank}} model within 6" of this {{W40Kkeyword|WARLORD}}. Until the start of your next Command phase, that model has the Ballistic Skill characteristic of this {{W40Kkeyword|WARLORD}}.

*'''Relic - Remembrance:''' ''This master-crafted Astartes Thunder Hammer was forged from the main axle of a destroyed venerable Aurora Chapter Land Raider. Those who have wielded it in battle swear it strikes with the force of a tank bearing down on its foe.''
::Model equipped with a '''thunder hammer'''. This Relic replaces a '''thunder hammer''' and has the following profile:
::{| class=wikitable style=text-align:center
|- valign=top
! Weapon !! Range !! Type !! S !! AP !! D !! Abilities
|-
|'''Remembrance''' || Melee || Melee || x3 || -3 || 3 || align="Left" | When resolving an attack made with this weapon, subtract 1 from the hit roll.
|}

*'''Stratagems - Focused Firepower (1 CP):''' ''Once a foe has been marked for destruction, the Aurorans must not relent until the target is annihilated.''
::<u>Battle Tactic</u>: Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a {{W40kKeyword|Aurora Chapter}} {{W40kKeyword|CORE}} unit from your army is selected to shoot. Select one eligible target for that unit. Until the end of the phase, models in that unit can only make attacks that target that enemy unit, but each time such an attack is made, an unmodified hit roll of 6 scores 1 additional hit.

*'''Psychic Power - Psysteel Armour:''' ''At the Librarian’s command, warp energy flows in streamers from thin air and winds itself around his allies, glowing like forge-hot steel. The flowing psysteel coats the armour of nearby tanks, or else wraps fellow warriors in a second skin capable of turning aside bullet and blade alike.''
::'''Warp Charge:''' 6
::<u>Blessing</u>: If manifested, select one friendly {{W40kKeyword|Aurora Chapter}} unit within 12" of this psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, add 1 to armour saving throws made for models in that unit.

{|
|[[File:Chapter BlackTemplars.png|Border|75px|left]]
|''The Black Templars are valiant warrior-knights and pious champions of the Emperor. They are deeply unusual among the Adeptus Astartes for venerating the Emperor as a literal god. The Chapter's fanatical devotion finds its focus in constant campaigning. A fleet-based Chapter, they divide their forces into crusades led by Marshals, and storm across the galaxy immolating and annihilating everything that stands in their path.''

<u>'''Chapter Limitations'''</u>
*'''The Lost Librarius''' ''It is uncertain how, or when, the Black Templars ceased to field Librarians. Whatever the reason, they now wage war without these powerful warriors.''
::{{W40Kkeyword|LIBRARIAN}} unit cannot be from the {{W40Kkeyword|Black Templars}} Chapter.

*'''Chosen Champion:''' ''On the eve of battle, as the Black Templars gather to hear the benedictions of the faithful, one among them may be chosen by the divine to bear the mantle of the Emperor's Champion in the coming conflict.''
::A {{W40Kkeyword|Black Templars}} {{W40kKeyword|Champion}} cannot be upgraded to be a {{W40kKeyword|CHAPTER CHAMPION}}.

-----
<u>'''Chapter special Rules'''</u>
*'''Chapter Tactic - Righteous Zeal:''' ''Known for their fanaticism and impulsiveness, the Black Templars launch themselves upon the enemy of the Imperium with a merciless, focused aggression, bellowing battle-oaths as they carve their foes apart.''
::*You can re-roll Advance rolls and charge rolls made for {{W40Kkeyword|INFANTRY}} units with this tactic.
::*Each time a model with this tactic makes a melee attack, if that model's unit made a charge move, was charged or performed a Heroic Intervention this turn, add 1 to that attack’s hit roll.

*'''Combat Doctrine Bonus - Knights of Sigismund:''' ''The Black Templars have continued in the style of their first High Marshal, preferring close, melee combat to ranged warfare.''
::Whilst the ''Assault Doctrine'' is active, each time a unit with this ability fights, if it made a charge move or performed a Heroic Intervention this turn, then until that fight is resolved, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of models in this unit. This is cumulative with the <u>Shock Assault</u> ability.

*'''Warlord Trait - Master of Arms:''' ''The warlord has devoted their existence to the rigorous perfection of the blade, becoming a force of righteous destruction upon the battlefield.''
::*At the start of the Fight phase, if this {{W40Kkeyword|WARLORD}} is within Engagement Range of any enemy units, it can fight first that phase.
::*Add 1 to this {{W40Kkeyword|WARLORD}}'s Attacks characteristic.

*'''Relic - Sword of Judgement:''' ''The characteristic sigil of the Emperor's Aquilla adorns the cross guard of this revered blade, its keen edge having served many a Black Templar well over the millennia.''
::Model equipped with a '''power weapon''' or '''master-crafted power weapon''' only. This Relic replaces a '''power weapon''' or '''master-crafted power weapon''', and has the following profile:
::{| class=wikitable style=text-align:center
|- valign=top

|-
|'''Sword of Judgement''' || Melee || Melee || +3 || -3 || 3 || align="Left" | -
|}

*'''Stratagems - Tenacious Assault (2 CP):''' ''The Black Templars rarely permit their foes to retreat. Every avenue of escape is closed by glowing blades and revving chainswords.''
::<u>Strategic Ploy</u>: Use this Stratagem at the start of your opponent's Movement phase. Select one {{W40Kkeyword|BLACK TEMPLARS}} {{W40Kkeyword|CORE}} or {{W40Kkeyword|BLACK TEMPLARS}} {{W40Kkeyword|ChARACTER}} unit from your army. Until the start of your next turn, enemy units within Engagement Range of that unit cannot Fall Back unless they have the {{W40Kkeyword|VEHICLE}}, {{W40Kkeyword|TITANIC}} or {{W40Kkeyword|AIRCRAFT}} keyword.

*'''Litanies of Battle - Psalm of Remorseless Persecution:''' ''The burning zeal with which the Chaplain denounces Humanity's foes drives his brothers into a terrible battle-rage.''
::If this litany is inspiring, then select one friendly {{W40Kkeyword|Black Templars}} {{W40Kkeyword|Core}} unit within 6" of this {{W40Kkeyword|PRIEST}}. Each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack, an unmodified wound roll of 6 inflicts 1 mortal wound on the target in addition to any normal damage. A unit can suffer a maximum of 6 mortal wounds per phase as the result of this ability.

{{Story}}

An [[awesome]] piece of writefaggotry from [[/tg/]] - showing that on /tg/ the [[magic]] still [[Gets shit done|happens]].

Inspired by a derivative of the [[copypasta]] that gave rise to the [[4chan Archipelago]], and written by /tg/ [[writefag]] <span style="color:#117743">'''008'''</span>, '''Stranded in Fantasy''' started on the January 18th, 2012, and completed on January 31st, 2012.

The story is copied here, but you can read it on the sup/tg/ archives, which are listed [[Stranded_in_fantasy#Sup/tg/_archives|at the bottom of this page]].

==Brief summary== (Spoliers erradicated)

It's about a group of [[humans]] from our world who get hypno-suckered into some plot-device portals that land them in a city in a world where [[D&D]] is reality. It is not glorified in any way - its eleven humans in a world of [[elves]], [[dwarves]], [[orcs]] and other humans, and they have no money, no powers (to begin with...) and are shit out of luck. They soon realize that not everything is sunny in a fantasy world and lines should be crossed for them to survive.

==Part 1==

===Journal Entry 1===

Well, here I am. I don't know why I'm bothering to keep this journal, only a handful of people in this place will be able to read it when I'm gone. For peace of mind I suppose. Where to start. It was another typical day of doing nothing, trying to get work and keeping myself entertained. I'm not sure what happened, but suddenly there was a voice in my head telling me I had to prepare. Before I knew what was going on, a doorway, a portal opened up in my living room. Round, glowing and beyond, a city of some sort. It looked positively medieval. Stone and wood buildings, strange people, some not human. A fantasy world. Somehow I knew I had 30 minutes before it closed. It felt like a dream and perhaps that's why I went through. I thought it was a dream, it seemed the logical thing to do at the time. I don't know why. At least I had the presence of mind to grab what I could and not just hop through. What a catastrophe that would have been. So here I am, where ever here is. I guess I should find out and see what's going on.

===Journal Entry 2===

What the fuck was I thinking? So here I am. In some fucking fantasy world. Magic and everything. Shortly after I arrived, that dreamy feeling fell off and the reality of the situation has hit. I'm stuck here and I don't know why. I'm not alone though, there are a handful of others in the same situation. We're all foreigners here, stranded and effectively homeless in this place with no idea why. Speaking of this place, It's called Rosenbridge. I have no trouble communicating with the locals, but I can't read their language. They use some squiggly shit that makes no sense to me. I think spoken language is just being translated for us at this point. Rosenbridge is apparently a town in a trade hub connecting several larger cities. Kind of a place were the different races of this world pass through. I've seen Elves, Dwarves or Gnomes, some lizard... thing and some others that I'm not entirely sure of outside of the more common humans. I'm kind of creeped out to be honest. Anyways, we're all camped out in some alleyway near the outer wall of the city.

===Journal Entry 3===

Well, I just witnessed some magic. It was pretty spectacular, but I guess it's a common thing as the locals didn't seem to give mind. Some guy in robes doing some display in the town square. Burst of light, movement of hands and mumbling and boom. I'm not entirely sure what happened. Alex, one of the people that's in the same situation as me, was going to see if he knew anything about why we're here. Fucking wizards man. There's what I estimate to be several thousand people milling about the markets. I don't know why, but for the first time I feel intimidated by a crowd. I get an odd overwhelming feeling. I think it's stress. I may be starting to lose it. God knows Avery hasn't fucking stopped crying since we found her and gathered up in the alleyway.

===Journal Entry 4===

Well, Alex's wizard friend had no ideas and didn't seem the least interested according to him. Fucking wizards. Anyways, caught some kid groping at my ass, I think he was looking for a coin purse. The local's don't seem to actually have pockets on their clothes, everything is carried in little pouches. Anyways, pistol whipped the little fucker off his feet and took off. I wish I had money, I'm starving and none of us have anything worth trading. Thieving or begging may be in our future, or prostitution if things get desperate. What the fuck is going on.

===Journal Entry 5===

So Rosenbridge. It's apparently mostly built on some massive ancient bridge that's over a river leading to the ocean. Part of the trade routes coming through are by boat, this is apparently the stopping point as it gets too shallow or rapids or something beyond this. Spent some time at the waterfront. Managed to swipe some bread. It was rock hard and tasted terrible but fuck was I hungry. This is the first time I've come to know real starvation. It looks like the others have found something to eat. Someone, I think Max, said that there was a church that gave donations to the poor. We'll have to check that out.

===Journal Entry 6===

There's some carnival in town today. Strange foods, acrobatics displays and showy wizards. Alex has been hanging around the wizards and observing. I think he's going to try and figure out this magic stuff. Best of luck to him. Anyways, checked out that church, it's a bunch of sun worshipers. They give some kind of oatmeal slop once a day to the poor. It had no taste but it was filling at least. The chick giving the handouts seemed surprised at the sudden influx of hobos in town. Namely us. We've decided to stay tight lipped about our origins for now. Don't need any more trouble. Hung around the carnival for most of the day but didn't have any coin for the real shows. Entertainment's been slim. My mp3 player battery has been dead more than it's been charged. The solar charger I brought with me is slow as hell.

===Journal Entry 7===

Jason got mugged today while he was pissing behind some tavern. Lost everything. Luckily we found most of it in a heap by the waterfront. Unfortunately the screen on his Kindle is cracked now. Alex has been gathering up some stuff from just outside town. Grass, leaves, some kind of flower. He says he wants to try one of those carny wizard spells he spent all day watching. Some kind of ingredients along with vocal and hand motions are involved. We're not sure if the hand motions and vocal parts are required or just something for the show. I guess he'll figure out in experimentation. He has some hardon for learning the local's magic. I don't think we can, we're not from this world.

===Journal Entry 8===

So some guard comes around our alley and starts bullying us around. Turns out he wants some people to work on the docks for a few copper coins. Most of us went for it. Money. I did as well. Backbreaking work moving crates and sacks and shit to and from boats and on to carts. My arms hurt and will probably hurt more tomorrow, but we've got money and it's not illicit money either. I think Amanda was just another day from whoring herself out to the locals. I think she's a bit too chubby for that to work out though. The locals are all malnutrition thin (peasants) aside from the rich/nobles/merchants which are a bit pudgy

===Journal Entry 9===

Oh god what am I doing here? I've been working my ass off at the fucking docks all week just for a pittance and it's barely enough to survive. Plus I'm dodging thieves and guards looking for a beatdown all day and night. I hate this place. What the fuck was I thinking?!

===Journal Entry 10===

So while I'm writing, sitting on the edge of the fountain in town, some guy comes up and seems incredibly fascinated in my pen. It's a bic ballpoint, blue. He said he was some kind of artificer and wanted to know all about it, so I gave him the basics. Ink in the tube drains out and on to the little ball. I'm not sure how they work beyond that. I sold one of my least chewed on spares to him for two gold coins. I think that's a lot.

===Journal Entry 11===

Alex is in a coma. He tried doing that magic shit today. We sat down to watch.. at a safe distance and he did the hands thing and said the words, had the materials and then.. he grunted and fell over. He was out for a few hours before we realized he didn't just faint. We dragged him to the sun worshipers temple and they're taking care of him for now, they have some sort of clinic going on. I don't know the details. I spilled the beans to the priest, that we're from offworld. He got this weird look in his eyes and put his hand on my head and yelled Smite. I felt something but I don't know what. He apologized profusely afterwords, saying it was some kind of misunderstanding. Is he a paladin? Anyways, Avery is staying to keep watch on him over the night.

===Journal Entry 12===

We're in hiding now. Apparently word got out about us. The local magistrate or vizier decided we should be rounded up. Ian, Max and Austin were nabbed and taken to the prison or dungeon or whatever they have here. I stole some clothes off a clothesline and we're going dressed as locals and hanging out in an old abandoned house on the other end of town. The locals think it's haunted and it does have a creepy vibe. It's a temporary solution though.

===Journal Entry 13===

Amanda says she was up all night talking to a ghost that resides here. Some girl that was murdered by a cult of some kind long ago. In other news, Amanda isn't the only one losing it. I robbed someone today in an alleyway. I ran out of money and old starvation hit. Snuck up behind them and taser to the back. Ended up with a handful of silver coinage. That should keep us fed for a few days.

===Journal Entry 14===

I haven’t heard from Avery in a few days so I went to see what was going on at that church. Alex is up and moving around, but he's still kind of out of it, having trouble speaking and whatnot. It's like he suffered a stroke. The priest person said they could heal it in time using their divine power, but that there would be a price for it, and not the kind of price you can pocket. The only explanation as to what happened that they gave was that magic was a dangerous thing to the untrained. So much for Alex's dream of becoming a wizard. At least the church is keeping him out of the hands of the guards.

===Journal Entry 15===

Ran into that artificer guy today. He wanted to know more of the land I came from. Have to be careful about anyone overhearing what with the guards on the lookout for us. I didn't tell him much but I did sketch out a bicycle and the basics of how they work. He was fascinated and ran off with the page after giving me a few silvers. Bicycles, here. Imagine that. I don't think they know what rubber is though. I could be wrong though.

===Journal Entry 16===

That artificer showed up again. He is running a caravan over to the next stop in the trade circle, some place called Wildlake and invited us all to come along as caravan guards. He knows the guards are looking for us and this is the best he can do to assist I guess. Most of us couldn't even defend ourselves but it gives us a chance to get out of this place. Avery and Alex are staying behind at that sun church.

===Journal Entry 17===

Well, we've been given some shitty used leather armor and a spear and we're off on this caravan job. We're getting paid too, a handful of gold to boot, so as long as nothing horrible happens, we should be okay. We're with 5 other guards who are locals. I had no idea how to put on the armor, it was all straps and leather so I watched the locals put theirs on and imitated. I know I fucked up at some point, it doesn’t feel right. Anyways, this trip should be about 5 days at cart speed. There are 6 carts in the caravan and 10 of us on guard duty total, 5 of us foreigners and 5 locals, plus some 10 merchants, cart drivers and so on. There's several beast people things with us and one rowdy dwarf, but otherwise all human.

===Journal Entry 18===

What the fuck am I doing here?! Why?! Why won't I wake up?!

===Journal Entry 19===

So much walking. My legs ache, my arms ache, my feet hurt. Almost twisted my ankle. Hate this place. Us Terrans have been having an entirely different experience from the locals on this trip. The locals are enjoying the walk, chatting and spending the nights around the campfire telling silly stories of drunken bravery and local heroes. Us Terrans are around the fire, all cramped up, in pain, dealing with blisters and mumbling about all the things we miss of home. I can feel the emotional difference between both our groups. It's the oddest sensation. Bah, I'm just tired.

===Journal Entry 20===

Dan's dead. He was one of us. I don't know much about him other than he liked to sing to his mp3 collection during the run. We couldn't even bury him. So we're wandering along when these green things come rushing out of the underbrush. Goblins. Panic. Everything goes to shit. Dan gets a gut full of sword before he can do anything. I manage to get out my gun and I don't know, I was panic firing I guess? I hit at least 3 of the little fuckers. I'm down 8 bullets. I have to be more careful. The goblins were driven off but there are other injured. We had time to loot the bodies but not bury Dan. Left at the side of the fucking road, stripped of everything, to be eaten by the fucking wolves or whatever.

===Journal Entry 21===

We, the Terrans, held a small memorial for Dan. The locals didn't quite get why we were bothering for someone we barely knew. We divided his belongings amongst the rest of us. We should make it to Wildlake in two days. I hope we made the right decision, joining this caravan. The next town may be worse. It may be better. I don't know.

===Journal Entry 22===

Had a bit of a scare today. Ran into a group of elven rangers on some hunt today. Almost mistook them for bandits, we're all a little jumpy. They seemed alright people I suppose, unless they really are bandits and just waiting for the rest of their guys. Anyways, we were going opposite directions from us. During all of this, I managed to get my tablet charged up with my solar charger and taught the artificer how to play Angry Birds during camp. He was entranced by it. I think he's starting to understand just how foreign we are. In the meantime, we practiced with some of the weapons we picked off the goblin corpses. The locals had a good laugh at us as we flailed around with blunted short swords.

===Journal Entry 23===

Well, I figure we've been here a month now. I'm not entirely sure, I haven’t been keeping an accurate count and since I'm not writing every day, it's hard to estimate. We made it to Wildlake around midday. Contrary to my expectations, there is no lake involved. Apparently there was one here way back, but it drained out in some dungeon or mine collapse. It's slightly larger the Rosenbridge with a wooden outter wall. I saw my first airship today. A flying boat, parked in eastern portion of town. According to the locals, it regularly shows up every few weeks to pick up and deliver shipments from another kingdom. That's not all either. We passed a slave market on the way in. This is the first time any of us have seen anything like this. I'm not sure how I feel about this. It's perfectly legal according to the locals.

===Journal Entry 24===

We got paid today. 5 gold. We're all staying in a local hostel/tavern for traders and their crews. We're bunked up with some odd people. They're all red and some of them look like they have a coral reef growing out of their chin covered in skin. Tieflings I suppose? Where the hell are we? As creepy as they look, they seem to be okay, and I'm not getting any bad vibes off them. One of them was a musician and played some tunes. Marcus got his hands on one of their instruments and started playing Stairway to Heaven. The musician took interest and the two of them spent the rest of the night exchanging ideas. On the other hand, the artificer kept asking me for new tech ideas. I think I'll show him the wonders of safety razor. God knows I'll need to get a replacement from somewhere when mine wears out.

===Journal Entry 25===

Nope, still here, not a dream. Why isn't it a dream? I was in the tavern today when some bald elf chick covered in tatoos sits down next to me and says in the most serious tone ever, that my mind was like a locked treasure chest and that she must get inside. That's the weirdest pickup line I've ever heard. I quickly left. Too much weird for me. I can only take so much, the headache that showed up just before she did didn't help either. So more information about Wildlake. There is a flooded dungeon under the town, that ran under a lake that was once a burial mound of some so and so king from centuries past. Parts of it are unflooded and the adventurous raid it on a regular basis. You'd think there wouldn't be anything left to steal after all this time. It's also used as a shelter for the a-typical races that aren't welcome in town. The little inhuman ones like those fucking goblins.

===Journal Entry 26===

With the trade run done, we're kind of out of work. Our money isn't going to last for very long. I poked around town looking for opportunities for awhile. What do I have training in that works here? Nothing. Marcus picked up a guitar at the market and is working as a bard in the cheap tavern and making a silver or two a night, and that's at least something. Amanda keeps wanting to go with him to sing, but she can't hold a note to save her life. I guess we're stuck doing remedial jobs any bumfuck shit farmer can do. We can't even read the damn writing, we're illiterate here. Maybe I'll be a professional thief. Ha, that'll be the day.

===Journal Entry 27===

Well, I got a job sweeping up at the fucking slave market. Wonderful. Nothing like mournful stares and whispered pleas of help from dirty, barely clothed captives to keep the spirits up. I don't know what to think. At least I'm making some money, the pittance that it is. Did I mention they randomly get whipped? They use some whip that doesn't leave marks but apparently hurts them like hell. Who makes up this shit? Mike on the other hand, has caught on and captured the attention of some girl who agreed to teach him to read in exchange for...something. I don't want to know. He is trying to teach us what he learns. Handed down knowledge.

===Journal Entry 28===

Airship is in town. Watched that for awhile. They couldn't come up with a better design than a flying boat. It apparently isn't sea worthy either so why bother? Maybe I could teach them aerodynamics. You'd think it would be obvious. Anyways, I'm starting to see slaves beaten in my dreams and it's only my third day. It's time for an occupation change. Anything else. I heard there's some call some help with one of the dungeon areas I might look in to. Why not? Maybe the guards will leave me alone. I made the mistake of showing them my drivers license when they asked for identification last night. Weirded them all out. Speaking of which, why the hell did I bring my wallet and car keys with me?!

===Journal Entry 29===

Well, I got sucked in to some adventure thing going on. Hired with some locals to check out and clear a lizard creature, kobold, infestation of one of the dungeons. We're to head in within a few hours and see what's going on down there. Also on the team is a big burly guy who is also illiterate, a bored dwarf and a highly excitable elven wizard or sorcerer. I can't tell the difference yet. Luckily we didn't meet in a tavern because that would be too cliché. No, we met around the town fountain and got our “mission objectives.” I at least have the leather armor and shortsword from the caravan trip. That and my big knife from home and my Sig. I need more ammo. I need a source of ammo. I have 7 more magazines worth of ammo, 8 bullets each. Apparently there's going to be another guy joining us at the dungeon entrance. I guess we'll see what that's about. Anyways, I did ask the wizard about what happened with Alex. He just gave me the dangers of magic speech the sun priest did. Also of note, caught sight of that bald chick following me again. Kind of hard to miss her. She's good at causing headaches.

===Journal Entry 30===

So we met up with a Paladin of some warrior god and hit the dungeon. He was a very...boisterous fellow. Lots of bragging. So this was my first dungeon. Everyone brought torches. I brought a flashlight. It's a camping thing, green power and all that. Solar battery and all. It should last a good 3 hours. So we go in and sure enough, kobolds. Ugly, filthy looking things, making weird lizard noises when they weren't speaking pidgin english or common or whatever. The dungeon was more or less just burial ruins, pretty straight forward. Looking back now, it was pretty dangerous, these things were out to kill us and we were out to kill them. What the fuck was I thinking? Wasted two bullets and learned that my big stainless steel knife was a piece of shit when it snapped in half upon hitting bone. The short sword did better but I'll be damned if I'm not clumsy as hell with it. The paladin gave me some hints and tips in the middle of a fucking fight because this is nothing for him. Anyways, I didn't get any injuries except some scrapes. I'm still fast on my feet and my reaction time is good. Found some stuff, some kind of silver chain necklace I found in the mud and some coinage the kobolds were hoarding. Do people actually sell them stuff? They seemed a little feral for trade. Also got paid 15 gold for the job. I don't know if I can do something like that again. Such stress, I can't describe it properly. Terror and thrill combined together

===Journal Entry 31===

So I spent the last few days in the tavern, possibly getting lead or mercury poisoning. I'm surprised none of us have caught anything yet. I'm the only one who brought medical supplies, and all I had time for was a bottle penicillin. Stupid portal. Why did I ever listen to you? Anyways, Marcus got some apprentice deal under a Bard to try and learn Bard magic. As long as he doesn't suffer a stroke like Alex did, if it will even work. Who knows how different we are from the locals. Aside from that, I'm starting to learn to read the store signs from Mike's hand-me down teachings. It's a bit more complicated though, there's a simplified written language and a standard. We're apparently learning the simplified. I guess that's a good enough start.

===Journal Entry 32===

That bitch got to me and I think I had an epileptic seizure. She showed up suddenly and grabbed me from behind. I know it was her, I felt it. I made for my taser and suddenly I couldn't think straight and went into convulsions. Next thing I know I wake up in the local temple. Some love and peace worshiper temple. Nothing was missing but I've got the headache to end all headaches and random nose bleeds. She fucking mind raped me and then dumped me off at the temple. What the fuck? Fucking psions. I'll get her. I know exactly where she is, why the fuck do I know exactly where she is, what did she do to me?

===Journal Entry 33===

I got cleaned and rested up. Still got the headache. Paid a visit to Ms Psion. Brought my gun but in hindsight, I don't think I could have used it if I wanted to. We had a nice talk, not sure how much, if any of it, was real or manufactured. I'm pretty paranoid about it. I don't know what they can fully do. Going there was a bad idea. There was more than one. It's all kind of a blur. I do know a lot of talking was done but not a word was said. From what I can recall and managed to put together, they're part of some back door manipulators of the local guilds, manipulating towards their profits. I think the ideas I leaked to the artificer got out and that brought me to their attention and then they found something. Something I didn't know was there. Now I think I need them to learn to control it or go insane from increasing mental stress. Or at least that's what they want me to think. None of this makes sense.

===Journal Entry 34===

It's not a headache, it's feedback. So much but no solitude to be found in the city borders. I slipped outside for a bit and the volume lowered to acceptable levels. I will have to return, maybe Marcus can play that song that puts me to sleep. He learned how. It was a mental ingredient that Alex was missing, he couldn't observe the state of mind he needed and the training was missing. I wonder how he and Avery are doing, or the others that were captured. I have to go back to her, she will teach me. I will make her.

===Journal Entry 35===

It's been a few weeks I think. I learned to block it. The noise. Them. From then on, it's mostly intuitive. The advanced tricks come later, so they say. Having a logical mental grasp of things has certainly helped. They said I was their first otherplanar “wild talent.” Already I learned to decipher the feelings. Empathy I guess. It's created other side effects. I have trouble nearing the slave market, it's a literal pit of despair, so thick it's almost physical. Luckily the effect doesn't spread. Uh, while I was coming and going out of sanity during the week, Marcus picked up some magical Bard music. Just some simple stuff. Between my experience and his, I guess we can learn. There's hope for Alex yet if he ever regained full functionality. The others, Amanda, Jason and Mike have been poking around and found out about some academy or university quite a distance away that may have some answers for us. They apparently have some info on extra-planar travel. Might be a long shot but it's all we got.

===Journal Entry 36===

We need quite a bit of gold for travel expenses. Much more than we have. I signed up on another dungeoneering expedition. Jason signed up as well. We joined up with a sorcerer and what I'm pretty sure was half the thieves guild pretending to be fighters. I didn't even know there was one. I suppose that's the way they want it. Apparently Jason is a pseudo apprentice to one of them. What the fuck. Anyways, we headed down to clear out some goblins and instead found a death cult. A dead death cult. They committed suicide, somewhat recently. There was a goblin, just the one though, and he wasn't a feral, he wanted to join. Whatever, I'm not the leader on this expedition. He smells though. Jason managed to pick out a few traps and got a few pats on the head for it from his thief masters and I'm pretty sure I got fondled at some point by every one of them while they were looking for my coins or something of interest. Suckers, I left it all with the others back at the inn. Overall load from the job.. The pay was cut in half since there was no Goblins. Loot off the cult was a handful of shitty quality daggers, a handful of coppers and a magical idol none of us wanted to touch. We rigged up some wood tongs, bagged it and sold it at the market for around 60 gold and some incense. We didn't pay the goblin, he can go fuck himself.

===Journal Entry 37===

We all gathered up after I got my Kindle charged up and watched Strange Days. It was the only movie I had on it when I came, and the only movie any of us brought. It's a good movie but when you've been living out on this world for awhile, you notice the simple things. Oh look, they have proper shoes and their clothes have functioning pockets. Hey, cars. And so on. There were some tears as homesickness kicked in full force and then I picked up the overflow from the others. What the fuck was I thinking? I think that portal bullshit had a hypnotic effect or some limited mind control was used. The more I think about it, after what I learned.. But why bring us, we're random people with similar interests. It doesn't make sense. Anyways, a bit after that, I..”helped” Jason with some b&e work his masters were requesting he do.. for the experience. Now I'm not the best person and I admit I'd probably be doing it too if I didn't get caught up in the mental adventures of temporary insanity with Miss Bald and her skinhead friend so I'm not even going to complain. I guess I'm sliding on down the alignment scale. Desperation, real or imagined I suppose. So my part in this heist was feeling out if anyone was inside and then he does all the work, and I try and alert him if someone goes for the door. Alert in my case is to nearly knock him and myself silly. I'm still new at this, it's like painting with boxing gloves on. I'm not sure what the total haul was worth, but his masters paid him a handful of silver. I'm starting to wonder of this coinage really is gold, silver and copper. Might just be what they call it or maybe they're using a really impure mixture. I don't know. Not important I guess.

===Journal Entry 38===

So two trips into the dungeon and I am apparently a dungeoneering pro according to the locals. Seriously? So I was approached while trying to grift some tourists about another run in another section of the crypt. Apparently it's the right season that the water level down there drops enough to allow access to some otherwise inaccessible areas. Jason and his handler are coming along with what I think is a gnome who wants to examine the construction techniques and a tiefling chick who was armed to the horns with whips. I'm going to have to get a torch for this, it's probably going to last longer than my flashlight's battery. Of course I'm not experienced in making a fire without a lighter. I'll figure it out. Maybe that's something else I can sell to the artificer. He's still working out the wonders of the ball point pen. Anyways, the expedition starts come sunrise.

===Journal Entry 39===

Dungeoneering pro my ass. So we're all stuck in a big cylindrical room, about 15ft diameter and 20ft high. I'll start from the top. We entered and immediately ran into a kobold scouting party that was seeing if the area was habitable for them. Why can't they just build a fucking town of their own? We managed to chase them off. Found a few traps, got some cuts and bruises by a few and some minor burns from the extra fun time magical ones. I have to wonder why anyone bothers. It's only a matter of time before someone breaks through, all you're doing is wasting money on slowing down an inevitable intrusion. Not cost effective in the least. We found the previously flooded section and entered. Most of the traps here were disabled from water damage except a few of the amusing surprise pits that were now filled with easily crossable water and silt. Picked up a few unknown gems and some random baubles and decorations. Our gnome friend took sketches of everything we saw, from walls to doorway arches. Very fast hands. Finally we entered this room. There was a lever on a pedestal. Typical. The gnome seemed excited and walked right over and pulled it before we could check it out. The door slammed shut and that's how we got to be stuck in this room. The tiefling chick nearly broke her little jaw after the first hour. Everyone seems calm but I can feel the panic. It's creating a kind of feedback effect, not easy to ignore.

===Journal Entry 40===

Still in the trap. Luckily we're not expecting the area to flood again for another few months. So we're all sitting around chatting it up. I got to regale everyone of the tale of the Quantum Lich who was trapped in a similar situation and went on imaginary adventures. Jason and I had a good laugh about it, the others were disturbed. So rather than sit around and wait for insanity or death, we tore apart the lever mechanism which went inert when the trap sprung and applied some mechanical engineering to it. Some of the rope that made it work broke. We figure this room was some kind of “airlock” leading to another chamber. We managed to repair the mechanism using one of the tiefling's whips and tricked it it into opening both doors with some luck. Tada. We took a vote and went further in. It's a good thing we did. While we didn't find mounds of gold and jewels, we found a small armory. Swords, daggers and armor, all in good shape, untouched by the flooding and rust. We cleaned the place out and headed back top side. Our market contact is selling off the loot and we got paid. Looks like we got a nice little mound of coinage and we all kept something from the loot. I traded in my shitty goblin short sword for a nice steel one. The gnome got his designs and seemed quite pleased, around the bruises anyways.

===Journal Entry 41===

Got caught up with the artificer today. He finished several prototypes of ball point pens but couldn't get the right consistency with the ink. Chemistry or Alchemy as they call it here is not his strong point, so he's working with someone on that. In the mean time, he's working out which is easier, bikes or razors. The razor has lots of fine points, but the bike has moving parts. I suggested a Penny-Farthing style with the pedal mounted on the front wheel for ease. He's pondering it. I see many great business arrangements in our future. One thing at a time though. It's not like there's a patent office though, anything he figures out, anyone else can copy and there goes the profits. Learned a new trick. I can pull memories out of people now. It's very obvious what's happening though and it's quite tedious and leaves me exhausted. In other news, someone tried robbing me in an alley. Not one of the sanctioned thieves, just some asshole. Gave him a mind full and then a face full of taser when that wasn't enough. I ended up taking his money, his pants and one boot just to fuck with him.

===Journal Entry 42===

The airship is in town today. Amanda is going to see about booking passage or at least how much it is to their main stop, which is about halfway to that university. From there.. well, we'll figure something out. We're all planning on going. We have to stick together. In the meantime, I'm experimenting with Mike and Marcus with some zap stone he picked up cheap in the market. It's magic, produces static electricity at what seems to be a constant rate. I think it's for wizard pranks or maybe simple traps. We're seeing if we can't use it as a faster method to recharge our batteries. My taser must be getting low, and it takes hours to charge my mp3 player, even longer for the Kindle or Amanda's Ipad using the solar charger, or that hand crank thing we got from Dan.

===Journal Entry 43===

We have enough for the airship trip, but it's a no frills package and may be called upon to help move cargo around. We leave in two days. I haven’t actually ever been on a plane and here I am preparing for an airship ride. The trip should take 48 hours. Our experiments with the static stone didn't quite work out as well as we hoped. The electricity coming off it is in fact very random. We would need to set up some kind of transformer or something and I have no idea how to make one. Paid a last visit to Baldy. Why the hell did I do that again? Always a mindfuck with her. Literally. Also she keeps wanting me to shave my head. To hell with that. She did give me some tips on memory digging that should help, but practice makes perfect. It's like a muscle, it needs to be used. Translation: I gotta mind rape people to get stronger. What the hell have I gotten myself in to?

===Journal Entry 44===

So here I am, standing on the deck of an airship, an aerodynamically improbable shape propelled by magic. Fucking magic. As near as I can tell, it's a converted cutter with the sails removed and some magic propulsion added in. Some kind of engine powered by elementals or something. It's certainly not sea worthy anymore as the bottom's been cut up into loading doors for cargo. Us Terrans are sharing a tiny, stuffy cabin barely large enough for us all. We're sleeping on the floor more or less. The ship is noisy, the wood constantly creaking from movements. On deck is better but we have to stay out of the way of the crew. The view is amazing though. We're hauling ass over some plains. Mountains and forests in the distance, passing over a few horse riders far below. They are navigating by a combination of standard ship navigation techniques, compass and sextant combined with a magic map. Not too sure of the details on the map, probably helps with their versions of latitude and longitude guesswork. Something is bothering me though, I'm picking up a lot of apprehension in the crew. I let the others know and we've been digging for info but they're being tight lipped. It doesn't seem directed towards us though, so I don't think they're planning anything nefarious.

===Journal Entry 45===

A day and a half out and blam, the ship crashes. Found out what the crew was worried about. They were transporting some creature. It got free and set the whole underside aflame. The ship's enchantments started breaking one at a time. The captain managed to soft crash us. About 4 of the crew's total of 15 didn't make it. All us Terrans survived, but Mike has a broken arm and the rest of us are pretty banged up. We're doing what we can to treat the injuries. Whatever it was in the below decks either died in the fire or died in the crash. We have a long trip ahead of us on foot. We're loading up with all the supplies that survived and even managed to throw together a shitty cart to load up and transport the wounded. The area isn't exactly a haunted nightmare forest, but it's not exactly safe as the ones back home either. The Captain, a fiery woman, seems to think we can make it to Winterfield in a week if we don't dawdle. My request for a discount on the travel price was of course denied. Whatever. As long as we all make it. We Terrans are a bit better off than when we did our first caravan from Rosenbridge to Wildlake.

===Journal Entry 46===

So we're kind of lost in the woods. The tree cover is too thick to take sun measurements for navigation, so we're kind of guessing. We at least know the right direction, between my and the captain's compasses. The woods are pretty quiet which probably means predators, but I don't feel anything out there. Marcus occasionally breaks out the guitar to play something inspiring. He's getting better at it and is managing to combine some Terran music with what I'm calling the bardic effects. It doesn't quite work right, so mostly we're hearing local traditional stuff. We've all been taking turns pulling the supply/injury cart, and pushing when it inevitably gets stuck. A few of the crew are ahead, picking paths through the trees and looking for the best ground to traverse until we find some kind of road. The Captain is certain there's an old trade road around here somewhere. We're zigzagging back and forth looking for it as we continue on to Winterfield. I tried climbing one of the trees for a better look, but didn't see anything other than more trees. So much green. According to the map, we should be in the woods for at least two days before we exit out, cut across some foothills and enter the northern plains. The crew is pretty superstitious. They keep telling tall tales of dark elves kidnapping people to their caves living in the woods, or cannibal witches or Druids powered on hatred and my favorite, the Woods Lich. He raises the dead as dryad tree warriors. I'd think it was all fun and games, but some of them are terrified by the prospect. It's like kids telling horror stories around a campfire to scare each other except it's grown men and women. Tonight we're going to tell our version. We're going to convert Hellraiser over to something they can understand.

===Journal Entry 47===

Well, we ran into wild borderline feral forest elves. I picked them up when they started shadowing us and called them out. They weren't hostile, but extremely distrustful. They barely spoke English..common, but we did manage to get some directions out of them. They just want us out of their territory asap. We're a change to the status quo I guess. The whole thing could have gone a lot worse if one of the idiot crew were first to approach call them out. Fucking elves. I think Amanda has an elf crush to boot. My experience with them so far in general hasn't been all that good considering my time with Miss Baldy McMindrape. Anyways, by nightfall, we hit the trade road. It was further east than the map said, and it's in pretty bad shape. It's been flooded out several times and is heavily overgrown, but it's a straight route, if not disused. Apparently once the airship started moving cargo in days what would have taken months, the whole thing just shut down overnight. I hope they can acquire a new one, I doubt they had an insurance policy on it.

===Journal Entry 48===

We're camped out at the edge of the woods for the night and will hit the foothills tomorrow. It should be easier going, but we don't exactly know what kind of dangers to expect. We all sat around and watched my Kindle copy of Strange Days again, including the crew. They obviously had no idea what was going on but the pretty moving pictures kept them distracted from telling stupid horror stories. I just hope they don't decide to burn us as witches come morning. We also have been getting in some weapon practice during our woodland adventure. I'm not as clumsy as I used to be with the blade as when I first started. Mike's taken extremely well to his rapier.

===Journal Entry 49===

We got attacked. Hyenas. Gnolls and a few goblins. They initially charged in screaming, but gunfire sent them back. They continued with hit and run tactics for the rest of the day I'm down 6 more bullets. 48 rounds left. We lost a crewman and the Captain took a nasty gash across the arm and leg. She's riding the cart now. None of us have any medical training. I don't know how bad the wound is, but she's out of the fight. If she takes fever, I'll give her a penicillin and hope she's not allergic. Took a few beatings otherwise and had to repair the cart, but we're okay. We captured a goblin and he's pulling the cart for now. Picked through the mortally wounded after the raids. Got to practice my memory harvesting skills. I know more about that Gnoll tribe than I ever wanted to, and they all died in horrible agony, and I got a headache. I've come to realize I'm becoming a horrible person. Was this something Mistress Skinhead McTattooface planted in my head or is this just how I'm adapting to the situation? It must be adaption, I'm not the only one effected. Jason was laughing at their pain and was cracking jokes about it for the rest of the day to freak out our goblin slave. Speaking of him, he doesn't speak common so we named him Wendy. Overall loot from the attacks.. A long bow and some nasty looking arrows. One of the crewmen knows how to use bows, so he took it.

===Journal Entry 50===

Surprise, I'm apparently in charge of this whole expedition now while the Captain is out of it. She's sleeping most of the time and the bleeding has stopped.. kind of. I don't even know when to change her bandages, just when they look bad? We don't have enough material for a lot of them. No rotting smells though..yet. So with the Captain out of it and the first mate dead in the crash, somehow the chain of command falls to me. I think everyone's taking my secret rampant and unethical abuse of empathy as some form of leadership. Well, here goes nothing. No sign of the Gnoll party today, but we keep catching glimpses miles behind us. Probably scouts. I hope we're not being pushed into a war party. The hills aren't exactly giving us a clear view of everything, too many places to hide, too much cover, so we travel on. We should hit the plains tomorrow. That may bring luck or more misfortune. What the fuck am I doing here?

===Journal Entry 51===

No Gnoll attacks, they stopped following us when we hit the plains. One of the crewmen started getting real jittery. One of the big dumb guys. When pressed, he clammed up, but that shit don't work on me. This trip is taking longer than expected, even with the crash. I figure we'll hit Winterfield in four more days. At least there's that to look forward to. Hopefully we won't all get arrested upon arrival or worse. This isn't even the endpoint in our little trip, just the midway. We'll have to find a new group to travel with to this University place. The plains are nice, we can see if something is coming unlike the foothills. The terrain is flat enough that we can make good time over the trade road. I'm sure there's some kind of horrible magic snake or dire rats hiding in the grass somewhere. We'll see I guess. The Captain isn't doing much better, but stable. Bleeding's stopped but she has a temperature. I slipped her a penicillin. I hope this works, is this even the right time to use them? Figures that we'd end up with no one with any form of medical training. I'm sure Mike's arm isn't going to heal right. We'll have to get him to a temple healer asap. Same with the Captain of course.

===Journal Entry 52===

Found out what was bothering the big guy. Nomadic barbarian tribe. He's an exiled member of course, headed over to Winterfield and took up an occupation. I don't know what he was exiled for, but they're pretty pissed to see him, and us because we're with him. We managed to talk them out of killing us on the spot and we're under their custody until they decide what to do with us. There's around 150 or so of them that I've counted so far. They move in a huge migratory loop around the plains, following the wildlife and weather year after year. We did manage to get their healer to assist with our wounded so there is that. He's using a combination of some kind of magic healing and holistic medicine with lots of silly ritual that I'm sure isn't really part of it. At least I hope it isn't. From observation, I figured that they're ancestor spirit worshipers along with a skygod that may or may not be the same figure as the sun god in a different mask. It's hard to tell. I'm not about to announce my disbelief in the divine on this world, as things like that tend to go all wrong. Their young warriors dope up on some local plantlife and visit the ancient grave sites, experience something and then participate in a hunt. There's some kind of cannibalism involved as well, their greatest warrior gets eaten when he passes and the same goes for the medicine man and his replacement when the death comes. They don't seem to be experiencing the shakes, and is apparently a sin to eat anyone else.. so I'm going to try and not be too worried.

===Journal Entry 53===

The Captain is back on her feet and thanked me for not fucking up too badly, and Mike's arm is doing better from the healer's treatment. That's the good news. The bad news is that after today's negotiations.. we get to take part in the Barbarian hunt. The worse news is that we're the prey in this hunt. We have a 4 hour head start. We're ditching the cart and carrying what supplies we can. It starts at sunrise. We have 8 young warriors in the chase, and some older ones just behind them in case they fail. We're not expected to survive. Mr Exile is ready to accept his fate. I don't want to die tired. I won't. Not after all of this.

===Journal Entry 54===

Rained all day and we ran. Rained into the night and we ran. Didn't even know I could run this long. Desperation. Separated from the others but I kept running. When sunlight came, one of those assholes was on my tail. They have fucking horses. Fucking Cheaters! Nearly got trampled. He got off his horse to finish me. I let loose with everything. There's nothing left up there now, he's blank. I don't think he even knows what he is anymore. Can barely think, bleeding from nose, dizzy. Hiding in a crevice, my legs were starting to lock up. Need to get moving asap.

===Journal Entry 55===

-4 bullets.

===Journal Entry 56===

Met up with the others at night. 3 Crewmen are gone, Amanda's dead. Speared. We're taking a break. We can afford a short breather. Mike did.. something. He flipped the fuck out and started talking to thin air and next thing I know he's throwing around fucking black fire and took down one, injured another. I think he made a deal, a Warlock deal. He won't talk about it but he's ashamed and terrified of whatever he agreed to, but fear of barbarian death overrode whatever that was. We'll talk about it once we get out of this situation.

===Journal Entry 57===

We ran into a Winterfield guard patrol with the barbarians on the horizon. They pulled back and the guards had enough compassion to help us. We were escorted back to town and currently sitting in a tavern. I ache everywhere. Amanda's gone. Another one of us down, dead on the side of the fucking road again. We're all dead quiet, the surviving ship crew and Captain. We're numb. I'm not going to sleep well for awhile, and Mike's seriously fucked up. He still won't talk about it. We're going to hold a memorial tomorrow for Amanda and the other crewmen. I didn't even know their names. I feel like I'm forgetting about something. Wendy! What ever happened to that fucking goblin, we left him at the barbarian camp. He's probably dead.

===Journal Entry 58===

I keep waking up, thinking I have to start running, or that there's a barbarian about to kill me or not sure where I am. This isn't good. PTSD? Fuck. We held a memorial for Amanda. Well, welcome to fucking Winterfield. It's a large city, reminds me of medieval France in architecture. It's a bit chilly here, but it is farther north. The locals are a bit distant. Apparently the barbarians are a problem for the area and the real reason the trade road shut down, and they switched to an airship. Well, hope they can build another one. The local royalty is too fearful of sending an army out to hunt the fuckers down like dogs. No, he's fine with the way things are. Calls it balance from what I hear. As much as I'd like to just settle down here for awhile and recover, we can't really. We all agreed. The barbarians are set up to the south west and we need to move north east. If we wait here too long, they'll move further up their migratory path and it'll be too late. We have very little money. Jason is checking in with the local thieves guild, because that's apparently a thing he has to do now. I did some checking around and there is a caravan heading north to a town called Brightly. According to the map, we can get to the University from there. I'm starting to understand how this University thing works, and why it's so far out. If you get there, you've proven yourself apparently. Too late to turn back. We'll take a week to rest, gather supplies and then head out with the Caravan. Where to get the money? Looks like I'm back to tasing people in alleyways and helping Jason b&e. What am I doing with my life?!

===Journal Entry 59===

Those fucking barbarians. They dropped off the desecrated corpses of Amanda and the crew on the doorstep of town for all to see. They'll pay for this, for everything. Motherfuckers. They'll at least get a burial now. At least there's that. I'm so fucking pissed I don't know what to do. I accidentally lashed out at a few people mentally. We just wanted to pass through but those fuckers wanted to have their fun and now people are dead. Lives ruined. For what? I don't know anymore, I don't know. Anyways, I helped Jason nick some items he can fence and we'll see what else we can do to grab some money.

===Journal Entry 60===

We didn't get as much as I had hoped, so we're going to have to expand our horizons. This isn't really a town for adventurers, no nearby dungeons or anything, just asshole barbarians. Marcus is making some money, barding it up in the taverns at least. The people are too distrustful to be grifted easily. Mike is totally against a warlock magic show, and to be honest, it wouldn't be appropriate. I'm not exactly a criminal mastermind. We can always hold up a trade caravan. Say, the one we're traveling with. That might be too many people though. We're not murderers and we're not bandits. We're just poor. Yeah, that's a great rationalization. I apparently have no moral issues with completely fucking over the locals. I think it's because I don't recognize them as.. us. “We're Terrans, we're better than you!” mentality. I don't know what to do. I don't, I just don't know. Would I have been like this if we stuck around Rosenbridge? What happened with Alex and Avery, or Ian, Max and Austin. Are they even still alive? I can't think and my mind is starting to leak. I need rest.

===Journal Entry 61===

Well, Jason came back from the guild with a job offer. We can make nearly twice the money we need with a single job. That job of course is to assassinate the king. He's not a popular man around here. Of course we're not exactly assassins. The fact I'm seriously considering this job shows just how far I've slipped. I've talked with the others and they're all for it. Marcus explained it best with Spock logic. The needs of the many (us, and our need of money) outweigh the needs of the few (the king and his need to live.) It's fucked up logic but on the good side, maybe his replacement will do something about the fucking barbarians. We got decided to take the job. Jason picked up a map from his guild and we're going to do some planning latter tonight. In the meantime, we're attending Amanda's burial. Partially to make sure they don't fuck it up. She's been through enough.

===Journal Entry 62===

So the castle has 124 rooms spread across 4 floors. The king's chamber is on the fourth floor with a single entrance and access from a forward and rear balcony. We figure the interior is loaded with the royal guards. Going through the front door is out, using a balcony entrance is dangerous. We poked around the market to see what resources we can get our hands on. No magic flight rods or anything like that unfortunately. The best we can get out of the thieves guild is some rope, but it's quite a distance to climb. We could use it for a quick escape though. Too bad we don't have a sniper rifle, his throne room is nearly level with the inn roof half a mile away and has a clear window. How to get in a heavily guarded castle. Can't imitate the guards, they don't use face masks and probably all know each other. There are no silly royal parties scheduled either. The king's schedule is pretty simple. He wakes up, eats, sits in the throne and listens to the local woes, around lunch he quits and putters around with his mistress and then official kingdom business until dinner, then sleeps, then repeat. The afternoon court is apparently an open affair, I'll see about doing some recon tomorrow.

===Journal Entry 63===

Okay, the castle isn't as bustling as I thought it would be. Went in with Marcus and observed court, which was a few hours of peasant complaints, hilariously one sided criminal trials and the local gossip hour. Apparently this kind of thing is not common with the other kingdoms, it's just that there are no nobles in town, so the king has an open court so he can pretend he's important. He's not even married and his mistress is an ugly half orc. Well, ugly face but she's got some hot curves. I bet he uses a cloth sack. Anyways, I think our best opportunity would be to go in during court, slip away at the end and hang out in one of the unused castle rooms until night and then do the deed. Marcus wanted to help, but he's our public face and he shouldn't get involved. Mike will be waiting near the castle in case we need assistance in escaping the grounds. Just me and Jason. Court starts in a few hours, so we'll begin project KingSlayer then.

===Journal Entry 64===

Well, it didn't go as planned but it didn't go entirely bad either. We slipped off on our way out of court and occupied a dusty room in the east wing. Poked around for a bit, found a few silver coins laying around. A few hours after nightfall we moved out. Made it to the fourth floor of this wing which is mostly unused. Only had to slip past a couple of off duty staff. We had to put down one nosy cleaning lady. She's still alive. I tried a new trick on her, a kind of memory loop. Not sure it worked but she casually walked out of the room and into a wall, knocked herself out. Good enough I guess. She didn't get a good look at us at least. Did some climbing around outside to get to the balcony and we were in the king's chamber. Just like that. Then we sat there for a half hour staring. I couldn't do it. Jason finally maned up and put a pillow over the king's face and slit his throat out before he could begin to struggle. Got kind of an adrenalin high after that. Grabbed some things from the room, some coinage, some magic looking baubles and rappelled off the balcony using rope. Then we got caught. Plowed right into a guard and the one of the gardeners making out. I put down the guard before he could fumble his pants back on to get at his sword, and Jason took down the gardener. I don't feel good about this job at all.

===Journal Entry 65===

We got paid and set up with a caravan heading out to Brightly tomorrow. I feel like shit. We officially crossed the line and are now murderers. Everything in town is in chaos. Guards are raiding all the shady hideouts and arresting anyone they think is shady looking. We're hanging out in one of the more popular inns to try and blend in to the crowd. We don't blend well. Anyways, there's no royal heir to assume the throne, so the advisers are working out what to do. Maybe they'll invent democracy. Who am I kidding, it'll be a military dictatorship until whoever names themselves Emperor. In other news, I've gotten good enough at reading to kind of read a book. It wasn't very interesting or very long. It was about some historical battle centuries ago in the area. Turns out the barbarian tribe is remains of a rival kingdom that was wiped out. Fucking barbarians. Anyways, time to resupply for the trip. I could use some new clothes. At least a new shirt, my jeans are holding up okay. My shirt has changed color several times now, from blue to brown to red and now it's gray and is covered in sloppily repaired rips and tears.

===Journal Entry 66===

So we're passengers in a caravan heading to Brightly. It's supposedly a safe route. I've heard that before. Figured out what the magic things we stole from the king's chamber do. We got a poison immunity necklace and what appears to be an immovable ring. Like an immovable rod but as ring. It's a plain gold and luckily, bound to this gravity sphere, otherwise, who knows where it would zoom off to. Why would anyone make this is beyond me. Maybe it was an accident. Anyways, the caravan is made up of about 15 carts and was hastily put together once the local trade guild found out about the airship issues. We have a crew of 40 or so people: hired guards, horse and ox drivers, merchants, their support staff and passengers. The caravan leader is a civilized orc woman. She's got to be at least 6 foot 5. Now I've never been into muscle girls, or green skin for that matter but damn. She's apparently made a name for herself with the locals and well trusted as some kind of trail blazer.

===Journal Entry 67===

It's been raining for the last few days. It's slowed us down considerably with muddy roads, carts getting stuck and fallen trees. Why don't they pave anything? The Romans did it. Spirits would be lower if not for Marcus's music. Did some chatting with the merchants. Seems Winterfield has no real exports, they just import everything they need, which is most things because of their barbarian problem. How do they afford it? Exporting their leftovers to Brightly for an even higher price. Brightly is apparently even more isolated. It's a lumber community, harvesting trees, producing wood products but lacking large farm space and anyone else to trade to, so everything they make comes and goes through Winterfield. With the airship down and the Barbarian problem, this entire arm of the trade network is cut off. Too bad they don't have trains. I'm not even sure how to make a steam engine. I know the science behind it of course. If we ever get back to Wildlake, I'll have to hit up the artificer. Or maybe find another one out here, invent a magical monorail. Wouldn't that be funny. Oh great, Marcus was reading over my shoulder and is now playing the monorail song.

===Journal Entry 68===

Well, the rain stopped just long enough for a kobold raid. A whole shit load of the little fuckers. 3 of the caravan guard are dead, many injuries. Twice as many kobolds were brought down and the rest scattered. They got away with several bags of clothing from one of the carts. From their mental state, they were kind of desperate for anything to help with the coming Winter in a few months. I used to wonder what would drive someone to do something like that, and now I know. I've been put in that situation but with even less important reasons. No point in dwelling on it though. So we should reach Brightly either tomorrow or the day after depending on the weather. Luckily I've been managing to keep my notepad dry the whole time. Caught one of the merchants trying to read it last night when I set it aside to eat. Yeah, he couldn't read it. That's one thing we got, a language the locals can't read. Speaking of the locals, I'm pretty sure Marcus did the bard thing and got lucky with one of the caravan girls. Not sure which. Maybe it was more than one? I hope that anti poison ring also does diseases.

===Journal Entry 69===

We made it to Brightly a few hours after nightfall. The city gates are closed, so we're camped just outside, partying like gypsies on making it with minimal losses. There is a massive forest around this place, and from what I gather, they're clear cutting the forest nonstop and processing the wood, but it's growing as fast as they can cut it. Magic woods of the unhaunted variety from what they say. Rumor has it that there are a bunch of dyrads inside that are churning out trees to keep the people from cutting deeper into the woods where their special trees are. Just rumor though. I'm willing to bet there's some horrible evil locked away out there. That's how it usually is. Or maybe the horrible evil and the dryads are working together to get rich off the lumber industry. Who knows.

===Journal Entry 70===

I must have drank more than I thought last night. Woke up with a fresh tattoo on my arm from one of the merchant girls. She says it's a magical symbol for courage. Yeah bullshit. We have that joke on my world too. It's not in common and just looks like a fancy shape and not bad looking I guess, whatever. So Brightly isn't what I was expecting. It's not a human town. Reptile people. Dragonborn maybe? Not the shouting kind, though they are loud. Boisterous. At least they're friendly. The trade caravan is doing their business and heading out tomorrow. Us Terrans in the meantime need to plan the next leg of our amazing odyssey. This university is part of a city named Aellyn and it is to the east, almost dead east. There is no trade route there. They are self sufficient and considered one of the larger kingdoms. And prefer not to deal with other kingdoms if they don't have to. Isolationists. I hope they like offworlders.

===Journal Entry 71===

Well, the caravan is gone. We're currently the only humans in this city which means we can't pull off anything shady. We're also getting the special treatment. Lots of attention, sometimes not always the good kind. So we're planning over a map, working out our next expedition. Aellyn is a week or more away on foot and we'll have to cut over the edge of a small mountain on the way of we take the most direct route. The locals helped fill in some of the blank spots on the map for this area but there are still a lot of unknowns. The cold weather is coming in a few months so we can't dally around. Since we'll be passing through the middle of nowhere, we probably won't have any trouble with some of the bandit races like goblins or kobolds and the terrain isn't suited to roving barbarian tribes. My best bet, if there is anything out there, wild elves or a crazy loner wizard. Otherwise, probably be dealing with large and possibly magic animals. Money isn't a problem yet. We still have quite a bit from the King job, and we made more selling that weird ring. Suggested to the locals how they can use it in their lumber business as floating o-rings or platform base of some kind. We're going to wait a day and then head out. Too many non humans is starting to creep me out.

===Journal Entry 72===

Well, we're on the road again. Not really a road though, more like a small infrequently used path used by crazy adventurers that could easily be confused with a goat path. What I wouldn't give for an atv. Camped out in a clearing for the night. Dinner consisted of dried meat dried fruit. It wasn't bad. Needs salt. Something that's pretty rare here. How we take such things for common back home. Seasoning is something only the rich have here. Sugar is another thing. I haven't had any sweets in god knows how long. Chocolate. Do they even have chocolate here? Mint is another thing. If I ever get home, I'll have to remember to bring some candy next time a portal opens in my livingroom. Candy and a shotgun. And bags of ammo. And a fucking ATV.

===Journal Entry 73===

Well, we've been captured by kobolds. The same ones from the caravan raid. They aren't entirely hostile this time, and I don't think they recognize us. Just more humans to them. I can tell it's them from the free floating memories. Kobolds are very... it's hard to explain in words, but they kind of project their minds everywhere in a non telepathic way. It makes reading them as easy as staring at a painting. Some of them speak common. They couldn't decide if they should ditch us and continue on their way, rob us and leave us dead or take us with them as hostages. They are kind of wandering aimlessly. They left their previous..village? Tribe? To expand. They got lost and don't really know how to survive on their own without banditry. We are trying to make a deal with them. They let us go and we teach them the basics of construction, engineering and farming. They can found their own village and not have to worry about getting stabbed in the face just to eat.

===Journal Entry 74===

Well, the kobold high command has taken to our offer and is now escorting us some of the way to Aellyn. We've begun telling them about farming and construction basics. Simple stuff that they've apparently never had to think about living in a cave. They are catching on pretty fast though, I'll give them that. You just have to find the right way to explain it to them, and in terms they'd understand. Their first few attempts are probably going to be a catastrophe, but they apparently don't give up easy when they get an idea in their head. Any information we tell them spreads throughout them at a pretty fast rate. I guess they like gossip. They still smell terrible.

===Journal Entry 75===

We're crossing the edge of the mountains now. It's so cold up here. We're probably a good mile off sea level. The kobolds are all wrapped up in their stolen clothes and some are carrying around burning home made torches for warmth when we're on the move. I'm wearing everything I own. Assuming we don't run into any trouble, we should be back down by tomorrow. Mountain climbing is a whole new experience for me. My hands are probably going to be covered in blisters tomorrow, if not from pulling myself up the rocks, then helping the damn kobolds. Since they've gotten to know us, they've gone from menacing bandits to friendly puppies in disposition. Things would probably be worse off if Marcus wasn't strumming along most of the time, keeping our spirits up. Mike's been pretty quiet, still won't talk about who or what he made his warlock pact with, or the terms of the deal. The emotions coming off him are troubling though. Depression. I've been giving him mental nudges to try and snap him out of it but all I'm doing is keeping him from sliding further down.

===Journal Entry 76===

Still in the mountains. No big issues, it just got darker out than usual due to cloud cover. We're held up in the remains of a crashed ship. A crashed ship in the mountains. It's been here awhile and doesn't have the extras that the other airship had. So how did it get here? Magic probably. Magic is always the answer. It's a slave ship. The busted remains of the hold is full of chained up, frost covered skeletons. We made damn sure they weren't magic skeletons at first. Just the regular kind. There's no loot here, whoever survived took everything worth taking with them, or it was stripped by passing adventurers. It's warmer inside so we're staying the night and should be on our way come morning. Tried my hand at writing and put a message on the wall in common stating our names, party size, date and where we were going, a note of our passing. It occurred to me afterwards that I used an Earth year and not the local year. How long have we been here again?

===Journal Entry 77===

We made it out of the mountains. We're camped at a small river, only four feet deep at crossing. We had to help the kobolds cross though, so we're all pretty wet. None of the gear got soaked though, luckily. They like the area and it is pretty good place for them to set up their koboldville experiment. Big open area, some woods not far away, a fresh water river and a lake less than a mile away. They weren't sure what to call it, so I suggested Chicago. Because it's funny. We're splitting off from them come morning and heading on our own. According to the map, we have a few more days travel through some woods and then Aeyllin should be in sight. This fucking trip better have been worth it. We've lost so much and gained so little for it so far. Anyways, we're spending the last night dumping as much info as we can on the kobolds and hopefully it works out for them. Sure they're creepy little lizard/dragon people, but they're nice once they ditch their distrust. Not that I'd want one living near me, they still smell, even after they bathe.

===Journal Entry 78===

So we've been tromping through the woods for the last few days and suddenly breach the forest edge and plow right into another group of adventurers. They briefly mistook us for bandits but luckily no one was injured. They were heading away from Aeyllin and on their way to some burial tomb/doom maze for loot. We updated our map. Ours had Aeyllin in the wrong place, it's further north. Apparently the city has hundreds of farms stretching for miles to the south, and there's a mine/quarry on the north end. We're in farm country. I'm not expecting any problems, we have a well traveled and patrolled road to follow with several taverns along the way for the farmers. It'll be nice to have some cooked food for a change. And some booze.

===Journal Entry 79===

We're in our first tavern for the night about half a day from the city. It's got a few rooms we can use. Beds, Yes! Picked up some local history. Aeyllin used to be an isolated elf city way back when, many centuries ago. Used to have a bit of an Aztec flavor to it from hearing the description. Then the place gets flooded with refugees from some war. All manner of races moving in but mostly humans, and the elves, in their short sighted compassion, granted sanctuary. Well, they got mostly outbred almost immediately and now it's a mostly human/half-elf city with spatterings of other races. The only traces of the old culture are some of the more ancient buildings in town. The old forests cleared away for construction and then farming. Sure enough, it has that university we've been looking for in the middle of it. My expectations have lowered since hearing about it though. Everyone has such great things to say about it but they themselves have never been there and they're always saying the same things. Propaganda. The good news is that there are airships there, so if we need to leave, it should be a much easier trip, if not more expensive. Well, either way, we're going to rampage the shit out of that university library if we have to.

===Journal Entry 80===

Welcome to the wonderland that is Aeyllin. Well, we're in the city. Probably a quarter of the population are magic users of some sort, mostly low talent. We're staying in one of the larger inns. Marcus is staying free as long as he's working as the inn's nightly entertainment. The city is larger than I expected. There must be hundreds of thousands of people here. Whole districts stretch on for miles. It's far larger than any city we've seen so far. There are about 12 districts. We're in the old city, which is the central district, it makes accessing the other districts easier as it's set up as a giant wheel and we're in the hub. Government buildings are scattered all over, non centralized. There is a king, it is a kingdom, but no castle or court. He leaves the running of the city to his advisers and only steps in when he wants something specific to happen. There is almost a public education system (only available to merchant class and up), a local postal service, semi-proper sewage and garbage disposal (they still dump it in the river, just not inside town and down stream) and church sponsored health care. Several churches are sponsored here and to stay competitive, they’ve lowered their healing rates to free for citizens. At least that's my guess. So we can see the university from here, it's off in the 2 o'clock district, pretty big and lit up with magic glows. We're heading in there tomorrow. Today we're just resting and getting situated. My only complaint about this place is that everything is gray. The roads, walls, buildings. Everything is gray stone from the quarry. Granite. That means the city is one giant radiation sink. Wonderful.

===Journal Entry 81===

So we're in the university. Getting in was easy, we just had to register with the administration. They wanted race, name and where we started from. Rosenbridge I guess. We got a long speech about the rules. No taking anything off campus and no wrecking stuff basically. They were expecting us to be students, but that all changed once it slipped out that we're offworlders. Suddenly we're subjects. So we have an agreement, they help us dig up any information that we can find in their library system and in exchange, they'll study us in non harmful ways. So that's what we did today. We got separated. Poked, prodded and aura sampled. I spent more time with my clothes off standing in front of weird magical devices and having strange diagnostic spells being thrown at me than anything else. I did find out what that tattoo on my arm says. It's in some Draconic script. It means “The.” It could be worse I suppose. Currently we're in the library. While we did manage to learn to read, we're still having trouble with the more complex books, we we have requisitioned an apprentice wizard to help. Nice girl in her early 20's, wit as sharp as a knife. So we are researching planes walkers, traveling, off planes visitors and mysterious talking portals. A written language expert did show up to see our written language, but it's new to him. I wrote up a sample for him, The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, for him to look into. We keep getting random people visiting, apparently our arrival has created a stir. Not everyday they get lost offworlders I guess.

===Journal Entry 82===

So there have been many offworld visitors recorded across the centuries. Some came as tourists, some came to conquer, but they all came and left under their own power. No tales of anyone being enticed through a portal from any world remotely like Earth. No talking portals either. Why the hell are we here? There's still a shit load of stuff to go through so maybe we'll come up with an answer eventually. Anyways, had a talk with our assistant about what happened to Alex back in Rosenbridge. Apparently strokes are one of the many things that can happen when a spell is cast wrong. It could have been worse I guess. We could have really used Alex and Avery on this stupid adventure. Or Dan. Or the ones imprisoned. Fuck. We should do something about that. We'll go back to Rosenbridge one day and we won't be scared, lost and helpless this time. Then we'll deal with those fucking Winterfield barbarians. So speaking of that, we are invited to attend some of their courses. They have something for nearly everyone, kind of. They actually have some psions around, and some courses for the more magical aspects of Barding and Mike really wants to dig into that Warlock course, find out exactly what he's in for. Not sure what Jason's going to learn though. I don't think they teach grand theft here. Maybe he can resume his apprenticeship at the local thieves guild. He's already checked in with them.

===Journal Entry 83===

That was incredibly tiresome. Psion class involves sitting in a circle and just mindfucking the shit out of each other while the Professor or Master or whatever he wants to call himself observes and keeps things from getting out of hand and repairing any damage. It's to build strength, learn to adapt defenses and so on. Got tested for telekinetics but got nothing. Might not be ready for that, or maybe I can't do it. Marcus apparently taught the master bard some Earth music. Not sure what Mike was up to, but he was white as a sheet when we met back up. He won't talk about it, but his mind was screaming “demon summoning” at me. Fantastic. Spent more time digging through the books. There was a talking portal in some dungeon, but it spoke riddles and wasn't trans-dimensional. In other news, the master artificer showed up and took a good look at our gear. I gave him a bicycle sketch and hinted at so much more in exchange for figuring out how to keep our electronics charged. Whispers of steam engines touching his mind ever so slightly, mental glimpses of aircraft and cars appearing and fading like a dream. I'm getting better at this shit.

===Journal Entry 84===

So much philosophical bullshit involved in this class. At least there's no homework. It would be amusing if there was. “Go home and mindrape someone. Exam tomorrow.” Marcus is having the time of his life, and even Mike is starting to relax. Jason's been away quite a bit, says he's learning the craft. So we finished tearing through the archives. Nothing we can use, even the big directory of planes had nothing. Our assistant got some approval and with help, tried summoning a fucking devil to get some answers , but it snapped up tight at the sight of us and wouldn't give up anything. It didn't even want to deal. What the fuck? What does that even mean? I'd be in a worse mood except the artificer master reworked our little static stone a bit and we can use it to charge things! We watched Strange Days again and listened to music. Got Amanda's Ipad charged up and took a look through it. She had brought a shit load of farming information with her and never said a thing about it. I wonder how useful this information would be?

===Journal Entry 85===

Since we're kind of students, we were invited to stay in the university housing. We took it up because it's saving us money and meals are included. It's a huge underground apartment complex with enough rooms for all the professors, students and staff. Around 400 rooms of varying size. We're put with the students of course. Back in college again. We have such things to teach them. Beer pong for instance. At least that was what came to mind, but no, the place is dead quiet. No fun allowed. More class. Wandered town for awhile and saw some of the sights and then hung around the market. I think this is the first time in awhile that we didn't have some immediate goal to shoot for. This is it, we made it here. Now what? If we can't find a way home, if there is no way home, we'll have to settle somewhere and live out our lives. Radiation aside, this is the nicest place we've been in. What do I want to do with my life? I've certainly gained new skills. I'm sure I could make an excellent dungeon interrogator or mind thief. Blackmail artist maybe. Always with the evil. Maybe because it's all there is aside from peasantry. I'm not a fucking peasant and my skills certainly make lying, cheating and stealing easy. What the fuck.

===Journal Entry 86===

We gathered up and talked. I brought up our future and we made a plan. We're going to head back to Rosenbridge after we're done here. Did some checking around and the best way back is to circle around the other way. Take an airship to Ashvale and from there, hop a ship to Kinild beach and if we're lucky, take another airship to Rosenbridge, if not , ride up to Wolf lake. From there we should be able to hop on the trade network to Rosenbridge from there. About a month's journey. Not exactly fast, but it looks to be safer than the way we came according to some people we asked. My only concern is that the some of the area on my map says “beware, orcs.” I was told that has been taken care of, that they had been pacified in a war. Always using that word, pacified. I don't like the way that sounds. Some kind of war happened out there that no one is really clear on. Anyways, our classes should last a few more weeks, then we head out. We're already starting to save up some money, from Marcus's tavern playing, Jason's sneakysneaky and I've found an interesting new business. 5 coppers and they get to look at my porn collection on the kindle. It's been hugely popular in the dorms. Did I just accidentally invent pornography?

===Journal Entry 87===

This last week's been rough. Doing a full on mind attack in the middle of a fight without having to stop. I think I got it down but god damn. How to put it, having to split your full attention at two things at once. Hard core multitasking. Had to visit the healer a few times early on when I fucked up. Speaking of the healer, poked around to see if they knew about the radiation issue. They do know that people occasionally get cancer for no reason, and they can heal it. They believe it's either from the university's dark magics or a sinful lifestyle. When I told them it was all the granite, they thought I was crazy. I learned something else, something very important. It's possible to raise the dead. Resurrection. It's very expensive and doesn't always turn out right though. Should we? I don't know if we should bother bringing them back into this hell hole. They may be the lucky ones, sitting back and watching us from that elsewhere. This world does have a definitive afterlife. Possibly several, it's not clear. I don't know how to feel about this.

===Journal Entry 88===

Well, there was a festival going on today, a big one. The central district was all done up, song, dance and specialized merchant goods. They're celebrating the season change. They apparently do this for every season, a last hurrah for the last one. Kind of a weird way to go about it, but a party is a party. So let's see, where to begin. Well, that many people having a blast is overwhelming and I nearly succumbed to it and found myself to be bored. So I let myself succumb to it and had the time of my life. Most if it's a blur and I blacked out at some point. Let's see, I danced and got drunk, then I think I got lucky with a smoking hot tiefling chick. At least I think she was hot, I was blitzed at the time. After that it's just broken flashes.. I think I challenged a dwarf to a drinking contest at some point. What the fuck was I thinking at the time. Something happened during nightfall, I think I was leading some locals on a quest to find a goblin townie to see how many beers it took to get him drunk. For Science. I guess. I woke up this morning in a detox room at one of the temples with most of my clothes missing. Luckily I left all my stuff back at the dorm. Got cleaned up, gave my hangover migraine to someone else and here I am. I have to find that damn magic necklace, I bet I got lead or mercury poisoning. I haven't put it on in awhile.

===Journal Entry 89===

So the master artificer shows up today on a bicycle. Had the peddles on the front wheels like a Penny-Farthing but the wheels were even sized and leather padded. No traction at all, and breaking involved using your legs. Simple but it's a prototype. He was completely taken by the thing though. Took him a few days to figure out how to ride it, but he spent a good portion of today peddling around town and only crashed three times. Being the nice guy he was, and wanting more business, he decided to give me a bonus of a magic purse that duplicates any one.. and only one.. item put in it. Usable once a day. And the item must be small. He did warn me of some rules. No money duplicating, apparently it's illegal and they can find out somehow, and no duplicating magic items. It works on bullets, I tried it. It's a slow method of restocking but it does give me some peace of mind. I still have to be careful. So he's having his apprentices or students refine the bike, he's ready for something new. So I got together with Jason and we drew out some plans and introduced him to the Bessemer Converter. Neither of us knew the right chemical formula other than carbon was involved. I'm sure the master artificer can figure it out, they do make steel here, it's just a slow and tedious process. If he can get it to work, he seems to think we're all going to make a fortune.

===Journal Entry 90===

Spent time in the archives doing research today. Had a few ideas of some new topics to look up that may have leads. Nothing. It got me thinking though, were we the only ones from Earth that ended up here? Just the ones that showed up in Rosenbridge? Why here, why there? Why us? If we were summoned here, what the hell are we supposed to do? What did that fucking voice want us here for? To kill some king in Winterfield? To run rampant across the countryside? To die one by one? What? Anyways, we have another week before we're done here and we move on. We have enough money saved up. Now I just need my psychic diploma and do the hat toss and I'm good. Been taking some frustration out by practicing sword fighting with Mike or Jason. Jason's slippery as fuck in mock combat. What the hell are they teaching him?

===Journal Entry 91===

So some crackpot oracle in town, apparently well respected for some reason, runs out of his house in a panic and begins telling everyone he sees that doom is coming to the city unless “he” is stopped. So the guards panic and arrest the first known off-worlder they see. Me. So I'm sitting in a street cafe enjoying some hot tea while chatting up a pretty little half-elf chick about Hemingway when blam. Arrested. Arrested for suspicion to cause doom. Because of a crackpot oracle saw something in his chicken entrails or whatever he uses. Spent a few hours in the city dungeon. Damp, dirty, filled with assholes and rats. Luckily, prison sodomy is not a phenomena known to this place. It took a lot of effort to reach out to Marcus. He finally figured it out, thank god, and managed to talk them into releasing me. Could have I escaped on my own? Probably, but they know where I live. Somehow, we got slightly famous here, between Marcus's earth music, my kindle porn and the artificer riding around on his bicycle every day.

===Journal Entry 92===

So we had our graduation today. No big spectacle, just a handshake. Most of the students have to move out now, we can still stay because the staff occasionally comes up with something new to experiment on us, and the master artificer likes to keep us close. With that in mind, we're paid up with an airship leaving in two days to begin our amazing Odyssey part two, The Revenge. So with this in mind, Marcus runs up to me today and informs me that one of the girls he's been with may be pregnant. An elf girl. And she's all ready to settle down so he can be a farmer for ever and ever and raise a big family. He's broadcasting anxiety across the building strong enough for every psion in the dorms to pick up on it and he's not in his right mind. I warned him about getting too comfortable in that bard lifestyle. So first thing he asks me, if I can “mind blast” it into miscarriage. No. Just no, that's too far, way too far over the edge. No. I probably could if I tried hard enough but NO. He's not allowed to ask the other students either or I'll erase his childhood or something. So we went over his less criminal options. Man up and become a farmer, Man up and tell her fuck that shit and dump her or Run and hide and meet us on the docks in two days and we'll leave all of this behind. So he's off in hiding until our trip out of here. I let Jason and Mike know. This is going to come back and bite us in the ass again, I know it will. Fucking bards.

===Journal Entry 93===

So we're on the airship, the Celestial Rose. It's larger than the last one and not an obvious conversion of an ocean ship, but still styled after one. This one is also not sea worthy. Our quarters are better but not by much. At least we have a window this time. It's about 90ft from stem to stern, 20ft wide. I feel it's slower than the other one? Maybe because it's bigger. This one is leaving a magical green fire trail behind it as well. Marcus met us on the docks in disguise and we boarded. No issues leaving. While the people of Winterfield and Brightly thought Aeyllin was an isolationist city, it isn't. They do open trade, just not in that direction and it's mainly exports going out and the occasional adventurer coming in. So the captain of this boat is an adventurous..I think they call them Shifters? Beast person. Very educated. He clearly wants to be an adventurer but he's stuck in the family business. He's a glorified truck driver. On a motherfucking airship. Maybe if I were in his shoes I could empathize with him more. Or you know, mind rape. But I don't want to mess up the captain. The rest of the motley crew is a mix of dock workers and crate stackers, a wizard and their airship repair artificer. There are other passengers, a family of excitable halflings. I haven’t seen too many of them around, and they creep me out.

===Journal Entry 94===

We're cruising along the coast, a few hundred feet up. Endless oceans in one direction, seaside plains in the other. The occasional beach goer or sailing ship. We did stop briefly, the captain wanted to fish. Pulled out a fishing rod and everything, and while everyone patiently waited, fished over the side, with the airship 50ft over the waves. He didn't catch anything after an hour and we resumed course. Whatever. Hung out on deck past nightfall. Can't see shit out there, not enough light. The pilot is apparently taking the ship up to a few hundred feet and hauling ass and navigating by dead-reckoning, then corrects his course come sunrise when he can see anything. There has to be a better way than this. Airship guide lights? Glowing, floating navigational buoys? Anyways, Marcus is still bleeding anxiety everywhere. I think he's finally realizing what he's been doing, and that yes, running away or not, he's going to be a father and it's not going to be entirely human. There may be others out there to boot, he's been grabbing ass since Wildlake. Ha, what if this is what we were brought here to do, scatter Earth human genes all across the population. Fuck, I've slept around too. Not nearly as much mind you.. God damnit.

===Journal Entry 95===

Well, here we are. Ashvale. It's a port town, all wood structures with stone foundations and long docks heading off into the curved port. It's large enough to hold at least 6 ships. Currently 3 in dock. It has two airship docks, one of which is in use by the Rose. This town has no protective wall around it, no fence, no outer guard patrols. The guard are apparently just here to keep the drunk sailors from beating each other to a pulp. They don't even have a dungeon. No sewage system. They have a lante collection going around for a tannery just outside of town and everything else gets thrown where it's convenient. The smell is horrendous. We're getting out of here as fast as we can. There's a ship leaving in an hour for Kinild Beach, another port town two days ride away by sail and we booked passage. It's a low draft schooner that used to do longer range runs before the airships came around. It's named the Sea Serpent. Very original.

===Journal Entry 96===

Well, the Sea Serpent is, of course, a different experience than airship travel. I have experience on the ocean, just not in a sailing ship. Mike has been seasick since he stepped foot on this tub. Badass warlock can't handle the motion of the ocean. We're not even sailing that far off shore. I could easily swim it if I had to. So something had been bothering me. The Sea Serpent was in fact a military vessel originally, then sold for patrols around Ashvale and now it's a cargo hauler. So how does ship to ship combat work? I asked around, a few ex navy dogs were amongst the crew. No cannons. They use a load of easy to work wands and have a few magic users to throw around some force. Then they get up close and have a swashbuckling sword fight. Elven navy, on the other hand, loads up with archers and likes to kite the enemy ship around while pelting it with arrows and magic. They apparently use smaller and faster ships working as packs to accomplish this but can't do deep sea combat as easy when the seas get rough. There are apparently deep ocean trained mages who can whip up a small storm to gain the advantage. A Dwarven or Orcish navy is kind of a joke around the sea salts. I wonder if anyone invented a submarine. They have the magics for it, someone just needs to implement them. It might not be safe though, there's apparently plenty of sea monsters down there and mermaids, sea elves and so on. No one can actually confirm if any of those exist mind you, just a friend of a friend saw one once after having a dwarven drinking contest or somesuch.

===Journal Entry 97===

Dry land! Kinild Beach. This is a beach side town, half of it is in the ocean, built on stilts with hanging walkways between buildings. The chief occupation of this town is fish and shellfish. Lots of fishing nets, traps, poles, the works. There are no docks. Ships drop anchor and they send out big hovering magic disks to move cargo and people back and forth. Well, it certainly keeps unwanted people away from the ships. The ride was smooth. The material felt like glass almost. I'm pretty sure it's some kind of forcefield spell being put to good use. We're set up in the local inn and are resting for the night. Mike is doing much better and Marcus got baby troubles off his mind. Between the airship and the ride here, I got a suntan. The trip here has been pretty easy so far. So the locals are tan skinned with an odd accent, human. It's funny that listing race is now a common thing. I think I've gotten used to all of this. How long have I been here again? Anyways, the locals. Superstitious but otherwise friendly. The whole place is run by coven of sea witches who make keep the local giant kraken at bay. I didn't see any sign of any giant kraken but I'll take their word for it. They're also strict prohibitionist. Kinild is in fact a dry town. No alcohol allowed. They have a big list of reasons why. Instead, the taverns sell apple cider, Orange juice, tea and rare coffee from the far off lands. It's been forever since I've had coffee. It's pretty good too, hazelnut blend.

===Journal Entry 98===

Well, we're on the run. Turned out those assholes on the Sea Serpent stole most of our money at some point. By the time we found out, they were all on their ship and the locals weren't going to send a disk over to deal with it. Wasn't their problem as far as they were concerned. I got to the furthest out building and still couldn't reach them. But Mike could. So while they're taunting us from deck and me, Marcus and Jason are screaming back insults, Mike just up and sets their ship aflame with his black fire. It ignited beautifully. So the Sea Serpent is sinking in flames off the coast and of course this is attracting attention. We manage to make it to the inn and hide out while the Sea Witches men search for us. They aren't too happy that we clogged their beach with a sunken flaming wreck. I don't care, those asshole sailors had it coming and I'm sure none of them died, the shore was right there. So we make a quick plan to get out of town. We still need money so we hold up the innkeeper. He doesn't know what a pistol is so just tased him before he could reveal himself to be a retired adventurer and we took everything in the money box. It wasn't much. 20 silvers and a handful of coppers. Not enough to get us anywhere. So I mind wiped the incident out of the innkeeper's head and we get the hell out of town while the guards are elsewhere. So yeah, we're horrible people and I don't care because it was the best thrill I've had in awhile. None of us are even mad at Mike for starting the whole thing either. So we ran full tilt down the trade road. I'm not sure how long it will take to get to Wolflake by foot, probably a week.

===Journal Entry 99===

Two days on the path and we get jumped by a band of 20 or so Orcs. Right where the map said “Beware, Orcs.” Right where those assholes said I could ignore it. Pacified. They weren't bandits, but they were a war party. I started having Winterfield Barbarian flashbacks but their minds weren't entirely hostile, more worried. We got interrogated at sword and spear point. They're out here keeping reinforcements from getting to Wolflake. Apparently war between the “Pacified” Orc tribes of the region and the kingdom of Wolflake is about to kick off. Again. We ensured that that we were not reinforcements and had no idea what the hell was going on out here, and that we were just passing through. Left out the whole off-worlder/king-slayer/ship-burning parts. They were being mostly truthful, and so were we. So the reason for the war? The Orcs didn't like being pacified. They are a brutal warrior culture with their own honor system, and while they weren't committing acts of banditry and rape, the local Kingdom decided they wanted those lands and that the tribes could suck it. Thus the war. Wolflake won and started a campaign of “Pacification” on the survivors to “Cull the herd” of that silly tribal violence. It may have worked, but instead produced a more tactical minded breed rather than turning them into willing subjects. So we were handed an ultimatum, and it took some mental manipulation between myself and Marcus to pull it off. So mercenaries working for them, or slaves. It's still not what we were aiming for, to just be set free, but it's better than the alternative. So we're being gang-pressed into to the grand army of the united Orc tribes as mercenaries. We get paid too. If we survive. Better than slaves or dead.

===Journal Entry 100===

So, we've spent a few days moving from camp to camp with the Orc patrol. We finally got dumped off in some larger war camp. There must be a few thousand Orcs, some Goblins, Hobgoblins and even some half orcs here. We're the only humans here. We were introduced to the High command. Battle experienced warlords, a few wise old shaman, an orc paladin of some warrior god and even a druid. Every smile is a mouthful of bad dentistry. The first thing they told us was that deserters get tortured, then killed. After that, they got our skills down and then we got assigned a tent and told to stay out the way, they'll call us when they need us. No pinkskin jokes so far, so that's a plus I guess. The place doesn't smell as bad as I thought it would. Sure, orcs have a different smell to humans, all the races do, some are horrible like kobolds or goblins. Orcs, orcs smell like war. Things were kind of grim until Marcus broke out his guitar and started playing. They allowed it. After awhile they liked it. Sure, he didn't know any traditional orcish songs, but he lightened the mood. Food on the other hand is another matter. Hard tack and raw meat. We had to cook ours. They don't cook theirs. This is going to take some getting used to.

===Journal Entry 101===

I got called out today. One of the young warriors wanted to see why we were here and decided the best way to do it was to challenge me to a practice duel. It didn't go well for me. I got thrashed pretty good. I think I got a concussion from it. Luckily there are healers around camp, and I got fixed up. I think he felt sorry afterwards? He showed up a few hours later again and decided to tutor me and the others so we weren't such an embarrassment. So working my ass off with a sword on a practice dummy while someone screams at me, often in another language, all day with the others. It's tiresome but I understand that this is stuff I should learn. We're going to be at this for awhile. Swordplay isn't something you pick up instantly. At least I'm not the novice I was those early days. Later, we gathered up and discussed exactly what the fuck we were doing. We're allied with what would typically be the evil races in fiction, versus the shining might of humanity. I can't really say anyone here is evil. Sure, they have violent tendencies but when it comes down to it, this is imperial versus tribal in a land grab. It's a gray situation if I ever saw one. So what can we offer to the war effort? Well, none of us ever served in the military back home and we're not exactly tacticians either. The best we could offer was trying in vain to describe horse stirrups to the master armorer. They don't have those here. In other news, my shaving razor has become useless and now I have to learn to shave the local way. The Orcs use sharp knives. This is going to be a fuuun learning experience.

===Journal Entry 102===

A prisoner was brought in from a patrol skirmish today. After spending a few hours beating the shit out of him and getting no worthwhile information, they remembered they had a mind taker on the team and called me over. Oh, I got what they wanted, I got more than they ever wanted to know. From tactical information to his daughter's birthday, his son's first wooden sword. Yeah, I made them feel ashamed. I burned it in their heads. Why? They've been suffering at the hands of the kingdom for so long, they've begun to demonize non Orcs. So yeah, I reminded them that they're people too, even if they're enemy soldiers. I also saved that prisoner's life. He's going to be held somewhere else until the war is over, rather than their original plan of just killing him and sending his body back as a message. The warrior paladin liked the idea and decided to take it a step further, to start a prison camp for surviving enemy combatants so that they can claim the moral high ground. Not optimal but whatever, respect points.

===Journal Entry 103===

So I am banned from gambling here. They have a simple dice game that the warriors play to keep themselves occupied between drinking and decided that I could make the dice roll any way I wanted. I can't, I'm not telekinetic. I bet I could make them think it landed on whatever I wanted though.. The only difficulty would be affecting all of them. So there are no women amongst the warriors here, but there are warrior women, just not here. They have their own camp half a day away on foot. That said, there are non warrior women around. They run the supply chain, moving goods in from the tribal lands to the main camp here and distribute them outwards from there. They're constantly on the move. Anyways, today we got our hands on some goblin beer. It was surprisingly good. Not as good as dwarf brewed, but a respectable second place. Marcus disappeared for awhile and came back saying he got lucky. That said, the supply train wasn't in town today. Just how much did he drink? We're going to have to have a talk with him when he wakes up. Mike has found a use for himself and has become some kind of assistant for one of the camp shamans. He's the only warlock in camp and I guess they have a need for his skills. Jason on the other hand has found one of his guildies in the camp and has been doing whatever it is they do when they aren't stealing everything. High command has decided I'm trustworthy enough to ensure we don't have any spies in camp. Easy enough to do. Spies would be secretive and the more you try to keep a thought a secret, the more you point it out to me. It's like trying to hide a car by standing in front of it and screaming that there is no car there over and over again.

===Journal Entry 104===

Opening to the camp emotion can be pretty rough, especially with this crowd. Lots of pride and fear. People missing families or having revenge floating around them at all times. More prisoners came in, a whole outer patrol. Things are starting to heat up I think. I pulled some tactical information from them, but not all of it was consistent. Either Wolflake doesn't know what they're doing or they're feeding their patrols incorrect information should they get caught or are overheard. High command seems to think it's the latter. Either way, the patrol came close to the camp, so it's time to move. We're packing up and we're marching come sunrise. We watched Strange Days tonight. It's funny, this decade old cyberpunk movie has become a symbol for home. We know all the dialog by heart by now but we still get the need to watch it again. So we don't forget? So what happens if we do get to go home one day? We're going to be downright traumatized from our experience here; this world is changing us. What happens if I go home and accidentally kill someone in a confused reactionary moment? Will I be able to mindwalk there, or is this something I can only do here? I don't know. Why the hell am I here?

===Journal Entry 105===

Well, the last few days were pretty rough. Packed up and marched for two days without stopping aside from a single short meal. Set up camp and I promptly crashed into my bedding and passed out. I'm a little sore, but I'm feeling alright otherwise. More sword practice sure hasn't helped though. So Marcus got a fancy new dulcimer from some goblin tinkerer he impressed. It has a very different sound from his beat up guitar, but he adapted pretty quick to it. It made me realize that my sword is pretty beat up, so I took it over to the smith and he's doing what he does. In other news, High Command decided to send Jason off with one of the patrols. He thought it would be fun. I hope he doesn't get captured.

===Journal Entry 106===

As a headless man once said, Winter is coming. The temperature has been slowly declining, but today was the first time I really noticed it. Jason's patrol is still out, not expected to return for a few more days. Got my sword back, shiny as the day it was made and sharp. The smith did a good job, and not only that, he figured out what we were going on about and made the first stirrups. He made about 3 sets and is letting the cavalry mess with them. So far they've been getting a positive review. The supply caravan arrived today with some new recruits. A hundred or so hired human mercenaries and a hill giant who won't stop cracking lame jokes. He's loud enough to hear from everywhere and he won't stop. Marcus said he's going to go teach him some new ones. What do people that big even eat? Whole cows? So the mercs set up near us Terrans and I've been listening to their amazingly exaggerated war stories all night. Most of them are ex-adventurers who decided being homeless sucked or were taking up the family business. A few are criminals that are looking for a new lease on life or have something against Wolflake.

===Journal Entry 107===

I managed to get some info about Wolflake from the mercs today. Turns out that this whole area's been a warring shithole as long as there's been history. It's named Wolflake because the whole place used to be overrun with werewolves and then later shifters who settled here. Then the Elves came in and wiped everyone out and settled. Then the Orcs came and kicked the Elves out. Then the Dwarves discovered gold in the mountains and started a war. Then humans. Rinse and repeat in different combinations for thousands of years. The only thing that hasn't changed is the name, and the previous residents scattered out to become wild tribes. On the other side of the Wolflake border is apparently remains of the original Shifter community that's been successfully “Pacified”, and some Wild Elves in the woods to the east. The Dwarves on the other hand, decided it wasn't worth it and left the area long ago. I don't see why it keeps happening, the area isn't that great. The ground is rocky, so farming is a bitch, The only mineral wealth was mined out long ago, the lake is murky. I don't get it.

===Journal Entry 108===

Jason's patrol arrived today. Decimated but victorious. As Jason excitedly told me, while on an adrenaline high, they plowed right into a trap and were captured in some kind of magic stun net. Put in chains and led off to be interrogated. Jason managed to slip out of his over the course of the night and freed the rest of the patrol, armed up and fought their way out, wiping out the patrol camp at the cost of losing half of their numbers. He had the presence of mind to grab maps and papers from one of the tents and handed them over to High Command. The survivors then fought their way back, surprising and taking down another Wolflake patrol on the way back, at heavy losses. Jason's pretty beat up but he survived at least. After the adrenalin wore off, he kind of went in to shock once he realized what he just lived through and is sleeping for now. I hope they didn't lead anyone to the warcamp. Either way, High Command is impressed and praised everyone involved. I've been picking up a lot of anxiety since then coming from their planning tent. I guess that intel Jason grabbed did not have good news in it.

===Journal Entry 109===

Well, the Cavalry has been completely outfitted with stirrups and they're working on new routines and tactics. Did I go too far by releasing this idea? It's such a small, simple idea but the consequences are far reaching. To make matters worse, I released it to a bunch of warlike non-humans. Sure, they aren't really bad people but I'm sure the Mongols weren't either if you got to know them. I just get the feeling that maybe I started something that I shouldn't have. So High Command has decided it's time to take action, they want to do something before the snow starts falling. We're going to be taking a small outlying farming community that's been seized by the Wolflake army for supplies. We're going to strip it of everything of value and burn it down to deny the position to Wolflake, then move on to a secondary target while our main camp moves further east for a more defensible position in the mountains. In the meantime, the scout patrols have managed to capture the main trade skiff from the Kinild to Wolflake river run and destroy it. We're slowly cutting off their supply lines. I guess we then siege the shit out of the place. I wonder if they have trebuchets.

==Part 2==

===Journal Entry 110===

-6 bullets. I was in my first large scale battle today. We made it to Wolfdale today, the farming community. About 8 farms, a tavern, housing and so on. The civies evacuated when the Wolflake army spotted us and we moved in. The battle. It started with some magic being thrown around and then a charge. We outnumbered them but even so, the new cavalry destroyed their left flank. Mike stayed in the back with the other casters as did Marcus. I was placed in the third line wave with Jason. We were the wave that came in and cleaned up anything left. I helped flush out hiding survivors. We lost about 40 people on our side but we broke this defensive force. We're going to hold it for 2 days while the food is gathered up and transported to the main camp. Bodies have been looted, prisoners taken and interrogated. I've been in so many minds today, I'm having trouble differentiating my thoughts from stray ones that crossed over. I'm camped up in the tavern with a load of others. Marcus is keeping our spirits high with his music. I don't think I'm going to be doing much else tonight, I ache all over and my head is jumbled.

===Journal Entry 111===

While we were getting ready to move out, a lone rider shows up with a white flag and hands our Warleader some scroll. A formal demand of surrender. Terms are surrender and they'll only enslave the tribes. Failure to do so and it's death for all by command of king under the might of whatever god. The messenger survived but he got his answer carved in the corpse he's chained to. Dramatic but effective. The trip back to the main camp should be about two days hard march. We're ready for it. Said goodbye to Wolfdale the farming community, soon it'll be in flames. Once we get to camp, and with the resources we got here, we'll hold out for the winter and start attacking come spring assuming Wolflake doesn't send an attack force. Well, time to move.

===Journal Entry 112===

Only a day out and we come face to face with one the Wolflake armies. They were on the way to sack our encampment while we were away, but we caught up to them. We have to go through them to get back and they are ready. We're about a mile apart, preparing for the upcoming battle. I'm in third wave again. The numbers appear even. My rough estimate is eight thousand each. The Wolflake army is mostly wearing heavy chain armor and brigandines lots of greyish blue and are using big tower shields. Lots of long spears. I think that they're moving into multiple phalanx formations. Fuck. I wish we had more magic users on our side. The only place that had any great number of them was Aeyllin, each side only appears to have a handful. A handful of casters and one telepath. Marcus has been playing his best courage song to the tune of “We will rock you.” The Orcs have gotten into it. It's fucking inspiring. Mike is as ready as he'll ever be and Jason is getting hyped. I hope someone's watching over us because this is going to be insane.

===Journal Entry 113===

It's been a few days. Where to begin.. It began to snow at the start of the battle. It was almost cinematic. I used up both magazines of my gun. 16 bullets. After that, it was the sword. It's not easy adjusting midswing to try and hit the holes in their armor. Sometimes I would try and get a few seconds by making them see something else, or just mentally knock them silly. I felt a lot of people die that day. We lost. The cavalry smashed upon the phalanx's flank like the ocean and shattered their defenses. It looked good initially. Then they each were systematically separated and slaughtered, one at a time. They went in way too early. By the time the front line got there, the phalanx reformed. We must have killed half of their force, but we lost almost everyone. I met up with the others. Marcus had taken several arrows but was good enough to move still, Mike was out of magic but had avoided injury. Jason's blind in one eye, a spear got lucky. He was alive but bleeding everywhere. I was still unharmed but exhausted by then. We decided to make a run for one of the other warcamps to warn them and get medical treatment, magic or otherwise. We were caught by a patrol and I was run down by a horse, trampled and speared. There was fighting but then everything faded out. I only remember blackness after that.

===Journal Entry 114===

I woke up naked and tied to a rack. The survivors dragged me back. I guess I was still alive. I was healed and to be tortured, repeatedly. Not for information, just to make a point. For fighting for the enemy. Any information was just icing. There was only two of them. The cleric and some archivist? The archivist was taking notes it looked like in a huge book. The cleric never got a chance to turn the wheel. I made the archivist think he was with me. He murdered the cleric and set me free. Then stole anything of use from his mind, then erased everything. A mental format. I stole some clothes and managed to find my things nearby, spread across a table minus my sword. The Kindle was turned on. I wonder what they thought of it. I used one of the cleric's spare robes and managed to get out of the dungeon by making the guards think I was him. I left the hood up, so I only had to manipulate the one looking at my face. I escaped and now I'm in town. Welcome to Wolflake.

===Journal Entry 115===

So I have no money, Mike had the money. I'm hiding out in one of the seedier inns. I..manipulated the innkeeper into thinking that I had paid him in advance for a few weeks and that I was an old friend and certainly not the stranger the guards are looking for. I got a nice hot meal and a warm bed for my efforts. From what I got out of the archivist, the others were not captured and may still be out there. Meanwhile I'm here. Wolflake is a much larger city than I expected. It's certainly no village. It's as large as Aeyllin at least. All plaster and wood structures, stone walls. It's divided up into districts by use. The smithing district is in full production for the war. The market is bustling but a sense of apprehension is thick in the air. Residential is quiet and constantly patrolled. Lots of anti-orc propaganda. The town crier is constantly going off about them murdering babies for food and raping everything with legs. I did the old taser in the alley trick to get some money, not much, but enough for some new clothes. Trousers and tunics. Oh baby. At least they're clean.

===Journal Entry 116===

I recognized someone today. I was in the market, grifting someone, when out of the corner of my eye I see Avery, dressed in the robes of the sun church. What the hell, what is she doing here? I stayed my distance and followed her for awhile. She went into the local Sun church. I asked around some of the apprentice clerics hanging around outside about her. She arrived in town two months ago to help in the war with healing. A call went for help in the Orc war and she left Rosenbridge to volunteer. They don't know anything about Alex though. Apparently Avery's become a very devout believer in the ways of the sun worshipers. She has become an accomplished healer as well. She's still considered an apprentice but is moving up in the ecclesiastic ranks. I'm going to try and make contact with her tomorrow.

===Journal Entry 117===

So I met up with Avery today. I just walked up to her while she was out doing her rounds and Surprise, it's me! I surprised the shit out of her. She was ecstatic to see me. So many questions. We found a nice outside cafe and had a long talk. I told her of our adventures to Winterfield, to Aeyllin and back. I left out some things of course, she doesn't need to know our part in king slaying, grand theft everything and child abandonment. She said a prayer for Amanda and Dan. After so long, she assumed that we had all died. She joined the church after a vision, and because she believed she had nothing left. Alex recovered fully and after talking with some spell slingers, found he was more suited for sorcery than wizardry. I could be wrong, but doesn't that require a special genetic background to use? He got some instruction and can throw around spells now. Apparently has trouble keeping control of it and accidentally caused some property damage. He headed off to Aeyllin a little before she left for Wolflake, to learn to control himself better. If my math is right, he was arriving as we were leaving. Assuming something didn't slow down his trip. According to Avery, Alex had been hoping to find us there, he never gave up hope. As for the others, they were shipped to the Wildlake slave pens. Something will have to be done. Anyways, I let Avery recharge her laptop and ipod off my charge stone. She was giddy. Unfortunately, she doesn't have any new movies.

===Journal Entry 118===

Met up with Avery again for lunch. She put two and two together over the course of the night and realized that yes, I'm the “baby murdering orc lover traitor spy” that escaped from the dungeon a few days ago. She confronted me about it. I wasn't going to lie to her. So then a Paladin showed up and sat down at our table. I felt very uneasy around him. Avery said wasn't going to turn me in to the king, but I was going to be “arrested” under the church and held in protective custody until this war is over or they figure out what to do with me. So I went. I'm not going to fight her, there aren't enough of us left for us to be turning on each other. They let me keep my things. I don't think Avery even knows I have a pistol with me. She did take my journal though, and read through it. I just got it back. She can't decide if she should be furious with me or not after all I've done and all I've suffered through. I think she was more incredulous that I've been documenting it in detail. It's a good thing she doesn't know about the things I didn't document. She is adamant, however, that I need to pay for my sins. Maybe I do. Maybe I'm not done sinning. Anyways, we watched Strange Days and then she left. My “cell” is a plain stone room with a plain bed, a tiny window and some church iconography. It's not exactly tiny and I'm not imprisoned here, I can walk around, just not leave the wing.

===Journal Entry 119===

Well, I was in that place a grand total of 21 hours according to my mp3 player. The longer I was there, the more... claustrophobic I felt. Avery came to see me in the morning and we talked about what I was doing with the Orcs. Told her my side of things and I may have convinced her that this war isn't about good and evil, it's a landgrab. Come lunch time, she was off doing church duty and I had decided enough was enough and walked out. Poked a few minds to get my way, but I didn't hurt anyone, for Avery's sake. I left her a note apologizing. I'm back at the inn. Not feeling so claustrophobic now. I need to figure what to do. I'm stuck in Wolflake with the guards and now the sun church looking for me. I bet the rest of my team think I'm dead on the battlefield. Thinking back, getting mindraped by Skinhead Mctattoo was the best thing that happened to me on this world. She opened some doors for me. Without that, I'd be truly fucked. At least I have some options. I'm going to poke around town tomorrow and see if I can find anything useful.

===Journal Entry 120===

Hey, this city has an airship port. I have an idea. I just have to wait for the airship to arrive. Anyways, managed to grift some money and browsed the market. News from the war. The surviving Orc horde managed to sack a few supply caravans and a farm, everyone murdered, dead strung up, babies eaten, etc etc. Between the lines, I'm glad they're still fighting, they haven't given up yet. Picked up some rumors. Apparently the royal castle's been enhanced by a thieves guild turned traitor and even they haven’t been able to break in since. There goes that idea. The city gates are locked up tight, only allowing trade caravans in, and anyone not expected gets arrested. There's also the curfew. So yeah, this place is under martial law. Whispers on the street is that there are some freedom fighters skulking about. I took a look into it that and anyone that knows anything is a toady for one of the noble families, the Rheingrafs. I can't tell if it's an elaborate trap, or a manipulative attempt at a backdoor coup. I'm going to take a risk and dig deeper.

===Journal Entry 121===

I talked my way into a meeting with these freedom fighters down at the slums. Not very organized. Their plans were odd, probably orders from on high with no context. They have a list of people that need to be dealt with, and I don't mean killed. Publicly humiliated, disgraced and so on. Replaced in a way that won't draw undue attention. Their methods leave something to be desired. Dirty rumors and name calling more or less. I have some ideas on how to deal with this, but is this actually going to help me in any way? Well, it keeps me occupied and I can experiment so I gave it a shot. Target 1. There's a tavern keep in the market district who runs The Wolf's head, that needs to be ruined. I paid a visit during his slow hours, cased the joint. He's a retired adventurer, hard core supporter for the king and his policies. Gives discounts to off duty military. They call him Screaming Howl of Wolflake. Some based around one of his adventures in the earlier Pacification war years ago. Know what else screams? Babies. I put in the niggling fear that it's an insult. That maybe everyone's been making fun of him behind his back this whole time and having a grand time about it. Taking advantage of his ignorance for cheap booze. I'll let that bake for awhile and see how it turns out.

===Journal Entry 122===

So while #1 is baking, I'm seeing about Target #2. A Madam of a brothel. High class establishment, all the girls are magically purged after every use, silks everywhere. She's been using her girls to gather info on dissidents. I paid a visit. Went for a ride around the block. I'm going to try greed with this one. Maybe she's not getting paid enough for the information. Maybe there are people who will pay more. Maybe she deserves some political favors for all the good she does for the nobles she supports. Nobles that she saved with her information. She looked pretty lost in thought on my way out. We'll see how that works out. In other news, it's time to move out of the inn. Avery left a note on my bed ordering me to return for my own good. No surprise paladins or anything this time. I've since moved in to an abandoned tower residence on the seedy side of town. Not a lot of room, but it has a clean bed I can use and privacy.

===Journal Entry 123===

I guess I won't get a chance to find out how my experiments are doing. An airship is in town, a small cargo hauler from Hebiry, one of the main trade hub cities along with Rosenbridge and Wildlake. Airships always draw crowds, so I went over to poke around a bit. The last two airships I've been on used a magic dongle was required for any of the navigation stuff to work. Flying one looked easy enough. Who would have the key? The Captain of course. Found him picking up chicks at a tavern after he was done unloading. He didn't have the key. It's locked in a safe on board the boat. I did get the combination though. So I am going to traipse over there, think my way aboard, take the key and fly away. Grand Theft Airship. Fuck yeah.

===Journal Entry 124===

Clearly I was drunk on success. So I get to the airship pad and SMITE. Paladins. Clerics. Avery. She guessed I'd try and escape. She read my journal again. I am in a lot of trouble. I'm back in the same room, but now I have this thing on my head, some kind of leather band that I can't take off. If I move then a few feet from the church, pain. Avery says it's only pain because I've become evil and it's the church's god influence burning away at the evil. She says that once it stops burning me, I'll be good and can leave. I feel like a child that's been grounded. She confiscated my gun and my charge stone, so I need to see her now to keep my stuff running. To make matters worse, they're all, all of them, wearing glowing temporary tattoos that are blocking me off! Fuck.

===Journal Entry 125===

So my imprisonment in the church. Avery has been spending her breakfast and dinner with me, we sit and discuss and debate. She has admitted that if she had gone with us to Aeyllin, she'd be in a similar state. If she'd take off that damn tattoo, I could show her, right in her mind. But no, I can't be trusted yet. She's very naive about what's going on out there. Being locked up in a church and surrounded by like minded people all day skews perspective. Divine group think. So yeah I'm bitter. So a little after breakfast, a Paladin walks over and backhands me across the room. I think he broke my nose. Then he heals me and tells me to keep my hands off Avery. Calls me scum. The works. Leaves me there crumpled on the floor. I think he's jealous. I mean, I'm not going to mess with her, even if she's the reason I'm here. She's like a little sister to me. Either way, I need to get out of this fucking place. This is an intolerable situation.

===Journal Entry 126===

Know what there is to do around a church all day if you're not a member? Sit around and do nothing. Self reflection maybe. Not for me. I have made it a personal quest to find ways of fucking with the paladins. All the church members meet up in the afternoon for their prayer service. That's when I work. Moving things around, hiding things. Rearranging. Sure, it's stupid little pranks but what else am I going to do? I did get some news from my two experiments. The Tavern owner's gone over the deep end and has barred military and even guards from using his place. He may even be behind a minor poisoning of some guard captains. The Madam wasn't as successful. Word is, her backers decided to give in to her demands. How did I find this out? The freedom fighters found me when one of their members were in for magical std treatments. I may have gotten the attention of the Rheingrafs from my work.

===Journal Entry 127===

News from the war. It sounds like the Orc cavalry is getting its shit together. The town crier is starting to use the throw around the horse mounted demon card loosely now. On the other hand, it sounds like they lost another major battle. The orcs are winning the skirmishes but not the large scale battles. Heavy losses on both sides. Most of the church personnel have been called away for healing and the occasional resurrection for any dead war hero nobles. This would have been a grand opportunity and Avery apparently came to the same conclusion, so I've been leashed. I have a chain around my leg that's connected to my bed post. I have about 20 feet of slack. Just enough to make it to the “bathroom.” Chained up like an animal. This is going too far. This will not stand.

===Journal Entry 128===

I have escaped from the church. The idiot freedom fighters decided to break me out while the healers were away dealing with war casualties. I managed to get the things Avery took from me. Found my pistol under her pillow. What the hell is that all about? So they unchain me, get that stupid pain crown off me and we make our grand escape. Right to one of the Rheingraf holdings, a decorative cottage near the market. A guest house. One of them was there, all dressed in more layers of clothing that was necessary, even with the cold weather. They want me to work for them under their house spymaster. They didn't offer the position. They told me. People with my skills are few and far between apparently, and they think they can get a political advantage with me under their spymaster. Oh, and escape is nigh impossible. The spymaster can just up and disappear whenever he feels like and for some reason, I can't touch his mind. He's no telepath, he's just impenetrable. He put some kind of magic link on me, so he knows where I am at all times. So I'm still a prisoner, the chains are just invisible this time. I'm a commodity rather than an animal. Wonderful.

===Journal Entry 129===

So the Rheingrafs. They run half the trade caravans in this kingdom, started as an imports-exports merchant family that got lucky back during the last pacification war and earned themselves a noble title from secretive war profiteering that fucked the other side's logistics. They've tasted power and want more. They are one of the richest noble houses in the kingdom, but have the least amount of political power since they're relatively new to the scene. They have the money but not the connections that the other nobles have. Their secret backroom handshake deals have been few and far between. My new boss, the spymaster, was imported in from afar and is obscenely loyal for some reason. He's one of the elf ethnicities. I bet he was programmed. People don't get this fanatic for nobles on their own. At least I hope not. Might explain why I can't touch his mind.

===Journal Entry 130===

So the spymaster took me in to the field today now that I got the house history down. This mainly consisted of puttering around the market while he checked his contacts and me making sure that they weren't holding back anything, and the both of us beating the shit out of someone when they were. Half his network is compromised in some way. He's stealthy as hell, but not too good at running a spy network. Ran into Avery. I'm under noble protection now, so the church can't legally touch me, as long as I'm not performing profane undead rituals. Within the city walls anyways. She's upset of course, but I think I got the point across that I am still in danger. I need to get out of this fucking place. I hope the others are still alive.

===Journal Entry 131===

After all this time, I still wake up some mornings thinking it's all been a dream. Nope. Still here. So we have begun a process of kidnapping compromised members of the spy network and instilling some loyalty. Through mind rape. Mind rape and beatings. I'm actually disturbed by some of this shit. I'm rewriting parts of these people's lives in a few of these cases. It's incredibly draining too, to the point where I started bleeding a few times. I hadn’t done that in a while. Needed a few rest periods to recover. I'm still looking for some way to escape this situation without drawing too much attention or ire. Wandering town is easy enough, the guard long gave up looking for the escaped prisoner and they didn't even have a good idea of what I looked like or any personal information. I'm still a fugitive from the church, but that's on hold as long as I'm under the Rheingrafs. The church has kind of taken it as a personal insult that I keep escaping them. Initially I was just Avery's pet redemption project. Now they've convinced themselves that I'm some kind of criminal mastermind that's insulting their god and shitting all over everything they stand for. Yeah, their magic tattoos have worn off, but their motivations are too deep seated to wipe away in passing. It would take a whole mindrape session to clear that away.

===Journal Entry 132===

So I got brought along to some royal ball the King was hosting. It wasn't in the castle, no, he has a whole separate building for stuff like this well away from the castle. The Rheingrafs wanted me there for information gathering. Nothing too intrusive. They were all there, dressed in their latest fashionable imports. I had to wear some absurd outfit with multiple sleeves and feathers. There's music and fancy noble food, most of which I wanted nothing to do with. Stuffed mice, various bird tongues, some kind of bone pudding. At least they had seafood. I can deal with that. Lots of alcohol, elven wines, dwarf brews, some rare Margarita knockoff from the south. So the party took place in some huge ball room with lots of mirrors. Mirrors are pretty rare, so this is some kind of show of wealth. There's more to it though, I was sensing people behind the mirrors. Watching. The King never made a public appearance. He may have been one of the ones behind the mirrors. I did hear some gossip, picked some minds. Apparently Winterfield is a huge mess. With no royalty, the advisers tried taking power and then one of the generals seized control and tried forming a military junta. Last word anyone's heard from them sounded like a civil war was about to kick off with the barbarians approaching. They did get another airship though. Someone else must have noticed the gap and filled it. Anyways, after the party I dumped all the info I got on the spymaster, and he's been sorting through it for anything relevant.

===Journal Entry 133===

I managed to escape! Freedom! I can feel the proverbial collar slip free of my neck. It feels so good! So the spymaster took me out of the city to run the loyalty test on the Rheingraf cattle and horse farm. Some of the news we picked up at the ball seemed to indicate that there was a skim going for one of the other houses. That place apparently was a recent acquisition and maybe old loyalties die hard. So we get out there, it's less than a mile from the city and pretty safe, has regular guard patrols. The workers all come out and look scared as shit. Word's gotten around. It suddenly occurred to me. The guard patrol won't be around for another hour. It's me and the spymaster, some farm hands and the farm accountant. Bang Bang. He took one in the head and one in the chest. He falls over and then just up and disappears. The workers scattered to the wind. I ran in the other direction. I have a general idea where the Orc war camps are, I'll head there and see what ever happened to the rest of my team.

===Journal Entry 134===

I'm camped out in a small cave in a ravine. I didn't think this through. No food, no water, it's starting to snow. Sure, I could try hunting with my pistol, but I have no knife. I managed to start a fire using some tree branches, dry leaves and my taser. I should have enough wood for the night, but it's so cold. I'm going to try melting some snow for water once enough falls. Hopefully I'll reach a camp tomorrow.

===Journal Entry 135===

I lucked out and stumbled into one of the Orc patrols. They had heard of me and I was dragged back to the war camp and put in front of the High Command. I was presumed dead and put out of mind, and now I had to convince them I wasn't a spy. That took awhile. I gave up as much information as I could on the situation at Wolflake. Afterwards, they set me loose on the camp. I found the others. I'm glad to see them, and they the same. They thought I was dead when they left me behind in their retreat. It sure felt like I was at the time. They're doing well. Marcus has some scars he seems to think will impress the ladies. Mike's doing fine but he's pale as a sheet. Jason ultimately lost his eye, but one of the camp spell casters gave him a replacement. More or less a Ruby jammed in the vacant eye socket. He says he can see better than fine with it. It's creepy as hell to look at though. I told them of my time in Wolflake, about Avery and her news on the others, about the Rheingrafs and my escape. We watched Strange Days. I'm about to sleep. I'll find out how the war is doing from this side's perspective in the morning.

===Journal Entry 136===

This is a war of attrition. The Wolflake armies are winning the battles but taking such heavy losses that they can't easily resupply, especially with most of their ground supply lines broken by the Orc raids. The Orcs on the other hand, have yet to have a decisive victory. The battles are usually routs with most of the survivors retreating. They can bring in replacements easier, mercenaries, but that can't go on forever. The cavalry is adapting nicely to the stirrups, but there aren't enough of them to make a big difference, and they've been taking losses from the enemy phalanxes and archer lines. Since I've last been here, they managed to get some artillery. Catapults. They've been using them to launch tar covered, burning hay bales in to the phalanxes during the opening salvos. Too bad we can't get our hands on some “alchemist's fire.” It's some variant of greek fire/napalm. It's apparently hard to come by out here. They also just got a shipment of specially trained war dogs. Big nasty things trained to go after anyone with the Wolflake symbol on them and follow verbal orders. I got a new sword, a longsword. It's seen better days. The blacksmith described it as “experienced.”

===Journal Entry 137===

It's been a few days. I have been sent out with a raiding party of about 30 mercenaries, mostly human. We're sacking a trade caravan heading in from Kinild by land. I almost feel like a bandit. We're camped out off the side of the road under heavy brush, snow, in ditch and waiting. It's pretty boring. A few of the guys are light sleepers and taking a nap, even though it's bleeding cold out. The rest of us are keeping ourselves entertained with war stories while watching the road. We have a few two man patrols making sure no one is sneaking up on us. No idea how big this caravan is, or even what it's carrying, just that there is one. One of the mercs has some heating stone, stays a new warm temperature he's been using to keep his hands warm. I gotta get me one of those. My Terran compatriots are back at camp. They're learning to ride horses. I feel all left out. It's kind of funny. Our big plan was to get to Rosenbridge and free our friends and they aren't even there anymore. Alex would have just missed us, Avery's gone native. The others are who knows where and probably in a bad situation, as they were slaves last Avery heard. I guess the next goal after this war is the Wildlake slave pens and then where ever they've gone. I'll be pissed if they got sent to Winterfield or Aeyllin. Running in fucking circles.

===Journal Entry 138===

We ransacked the caravan all right. 10 guards, 20 or so merchants, staff and passengers. Most of the guards went down, only two surrendered and they didn't even put up a fight. Our prisoners are being stripped of valuables and being sent to another camp to be ransomed back. Our cargo haul looks to be food supplies, smithing ingots, spices, what I thought was mage reagents, clothes and a chest of gold coins. Bribe money? Taxes? But why is it heading towards Wolflake? I felt I had to know. So I poked around in some of the survivor's minds. This caravan was a shipment for the church of the sun worshipers from one of their larger central cathedrals. They don't do their own caravans, they use third parties. Whoops. If they ever find out I was involved in this.. I can't let Avery read my journal next time she catches me. Part of me is worried, part of me can't stop laughing. So we're heading back to the war camp with our riches, should be a two day ride. We're certainly more armed then their original guard retinue. Wait, why was the church getting money? They operate on tithes, cleric services and don't pay taxes. The caravans drivers don't know anything about it. Something's funny.

===Journal Entry 139===

I'm learning to ride a horse. We're still on the way back. I've already fallen off twice, luckily didn't get injured. No stirrups of course. So I've been thinking of what else I can do for the war effort. Just to tip the balance. I'm sure Jason and myself could rig up some kind of scale model trebuchet for them to learn from, but that's more of a siege machine than battlefield artillery. Maybe the Chinese repeating crossbow, but I don't actually know how that works. I really don't want to introduce gunpowder. It's easy enough to make, they have most of the ingredients back at camp. Hell, we have the ingredients to make some here in the reagents crates in the caravan we're taking back. Anyways, the Orc cavalry is already starting to experiment with horseback archery, maybe the OH FUCK.

===Journal Entry 140===

I met with the others soon as we got back to the camp. I dragged them over to the caravan and we went through the materials. Between the ingots and reagents, we figure there is enough to build one simple cannon and fire it multiple times. Does that mean the gold is to pay a smith to make it? What's going on here? Maybe it's coincidence. Maybe Avery told them things she knows this world isn't ready for. If this was to be given to the Wolflake military to copy, that would be very bad. Okay, so what right do I have to decide what technology the locals can and can't possess? They have magic. At the same time, I've already been irresponsible with handouts. I'm conflicted. Anyways, I gave Jason the go ahead see if he can't help the camp bow maker invent the recurve bow while the rest of us figure out what to do.

===Journal Entry 141===

The recurve project went bust. The bow maker doesn't have the aptitude or creativity to get what we're trying to describe. Maybe we need a proper artificer. So we went back to the drawing board and had a long talk. If Wolflake is going to have explosives, then so should we. We aren't going to give them cannons, but we are going to give them gunpowder. We'll show them how to make a ceramic or wooden barrel grenade. Something they can fire from their catapults. Something simple. We'll let its usage evolve on its own from there. There's the high probability that someone is going to blow themselves up from this. Mike and Marcus are mixing the chemicals now to produce the first batch. I've had a lot to think about over the past few days. We're making a bigger and bigger impact on history as time goes on. Is this what we were brought here to do?

===Journal Entry 142===

Well, we held our first demonstration today. We made a small prototype using a clay jar, filled it with metal shavings from the blacksmith and packed it with black powder. We found a nice safe place and set up some of the training dummies complete with scavenged Wolflake armor. We had Mike light it from his maximum casting range and all took cover. It took a minute before it went off. The Orc's first reaction was that it was just a fireball spell anyone could use. Then they examined the area. The armor shredded from shrapnel, wood pulped, some rocks destroyed. I think they got the message. These aren't toys. We have enough ingredients to make 20 more of the hand variants, or 5 big ones for the catapults. They wanted us to make the big ones. High Command doesn't consider us just mercenaries anymore. We now have bodyguards.

===Journal Entry 143===

I'm pretty sure Marcus has developed a relationship with a half-orc girl in one of the Orc supply caravans. Every time they show up, he vanishes for awhile. Doesn't he remember what happened in Aeyllin? God damn bards. So we have our catapult bombs. We sealed them with wax and buried them in crates near the armory with clear markings so some idiot doesn't accidentally blow the whole thing with a torch. It'll take a directly aimed fireblast to trigger them now. Maybe. We'll dig them up when it's war time. In other news, still learning to ride a horse. I don't even know enough about horses to describe it's breed, or Earth approximate breed. All I know is that it's brown and named Medley. I have no idea why. It certainly doesn't sing.

===Journal Entry 144===

Winter is in full effect. We had a blizzard today. Everything's frozen. At least our camp was set up to avoid the harsher winds. Not a lot to do while sitting around the fire, shivering. So I started asking questions. I was wondering why the Orcs never use their own Phalanx formation in the war. Many different answers. Simplest answer? It's not their style. They don't care much for the long spears and big shields and tight formations. They rarely use shields and if they do, it's always something small like a buckler. Sure, they can withstand physical trauma better then a human, but really. Their tactics are more suited to smaller scale tribal conflicts, which makes sense. That's what I've observed so far. Not so good at war, pretty good at skirmishing. It fits their tribal mentality. If these guys ever get organized into a proper civilization, they'll be a real force to be reckoned with.

===Journal Entry 145===

Well, Marcus got drunk, sat down in the middle of camp and sung the entire 50 States Capital song followed by the most hilarious dulcimer rendition of Barracuda. We quietly dragged him back to his tent. I'm good enough on a horse now that I went out on a mounted scout patrol. Important or not. I needed to get out, even if it's freezing cold. I was kind of babied along by the others. Us Terrans have become well known. Just like in Aeyllin. Speaking of that, I wonder how the invention of the bicycle is going. Anyways, nothing new on patrol. We left sunrise and came back sunset. My hair was nearly frozen, even with a hat.

===Journal Entry 146===

It's cold enough that my pen ink is starting to freeze up. I've been having to hold it over a fire for a bit to get writing again. This may be the last Entry for awhile. We're hunkered down and practicing for war, holding mock battles and when we're bored, snowfort fight with the goblins. The trade caravans to Wolflake have apparently stopped for now according to our intel. This world doesn't have a Christmas. What a shame. This kind of hit me hard, because I realize how little I've thought of my friends and family back home. I'll never see them again. Us Terrans have pretty much become my new family. At least there's that.

===Journal Entry 147===

The Spring thaw is finally here and the ink in my pen has defrosted enough to use again. The war camp is packing up soon and we'll be on the march. It's time to get this war underway. So, in the interim, I've gotten better at horse riding and sword fighting as has Jason. Mike learned some new tricks and Marcus...got his dulcimer tuned. Both metaphorically and not. Anyways, it looks like our precautions on our catapult bombs worked, they're still dry. Good news with that. Our scouts report that Wolflake is already on the move and that they have people with them wearing the iconography of the sun worshipers on them. Fucking fantastic. I knew it would come to this.

===Journal Entry 148===

Our first major victory. The battle of Wolfgate, a tactically important fort right in the middle of the kingdom, right on the two main trade roads and supplied by the river and nearby farms. We met the enemy army and they immediately retreated to this area, a better position for them? So we're lining up and they're getting into their phalanx, we're about even in numbers, at least ten thousand. Spellcasters burning everything they have in the opening volleys, archers firing in high arcs. The sun worshiper paladins and clerics start going through their wounded and bringing them back up. Then we unleashed the catapult bombs. We did the math, checked and rechecked the angles. 5 fired, 5 explosions, shrapnel everywhere, right in the middle of their formations. Fear and Panic in the air. Chaos. Then the cavalry and the first wave hit with their war dogs. It became a one sided fight. Wolflake tried retreating but were cut off. Prisoners were taken, wounded taken care of. Jason and I spent hours going through the dead looking for Avery. She was luckily taken alive. The battle traumatized her. I'll visit her once she's recovered and we'll see what's what.

===Journal Entry 149===

We have taken Avery into “Terran Custody.” Marcus, Mike and Jason were excited to see her, and we all sat down and had a long talk around a fire. Avery was furious that we leaked gunpowder to the Orcs. I countered with the captured caravan with the cannon ingredients. She claimed to not know anything about it, just that a new and important church weapon was being delivered. And she was telling the truth. We all sat in silence for awhile with that reveal. Someone else leaked cannon design to the church. Either Alex or the others. This is not good. So I informed Avery that she is a prisoner of war and in our custody, and that I was going to take the moral high ground and not chain her to a fucking post or shove a slave crown on her head like she had done to me. As long as she's with us, she's under our protection. Let's see how she likes it.

===Journal Entry 150===

Stop reading my fucking journal Avery!

>Then stop leaving it out for me to read!

===Journal Entry 151===

We've reaped anything worth value from the fort and its surrounding lands and burned it all to the ground. We then made for the highlands to set up our new war camp while we prepare for battles to come. Avery has not taken well to hard marches. I don't suppose you get a lot of exercise when most of your day is spent on your knees. So we are trying to figure out why the sun church threw their hat in the war. Possibly for massive political favors and/or donations? Maybe a chance to become the head church of Wolflake? Avery has been completely blind to the politics running rampant through Wolflake and was shocked to find out she was being shipped to the front lines with her fellow clerics and paladins to lend support. Our camp paladin, follower of one of the warrior gods, wanted to listen in on this and even he agrees that it doesn't make sense for the sun church to have joined up like that. Even he isn't here on official business, he's here because this is what he does. The sun worshipers aren't warriors, at least that's not what they've been preaching.

===Journal Entry 152===

We have gotten new materials and produced 10 shrapnel bombs for the catapults. Carefully sealed them and have them in a safe place until we need them and have them under guard. Avery hasn't tried escaping, she's rubbing it in that she can take her punishment and won't go running off at the first opportunity like I did. Yeah, she isn't chained to a post either, or getting punched around by bored paladins, not to mention SLAVE CROWN. I'm not holding grudges, oh no. Not me. So she has spent her time wandering around the camp preaching the word and getting a lot of dirty looks. She then took Mike aside and had a long talk about his pact. I'm not sure what was said but they both came out of it pale and quiet. So the war. Wolflake has refused to capitulate of course and High Command is deciding where to strike next. I'm always ready to suggest sacking of the Rheingraf holdings. There's always the chance that Wolflake will gather all of its forces and come for us instead, so we are gathering our forces up. Our camp grows daily. We've already replaced the numbers lost in the last fight. More recruits. This time an elven band of archers from the wild elf settlements on the east border who have also experienced Wolflake pacification in the past and decided that maybe they should get in on this. They don't wear a whole lot and are surprisingly barbaric, but highly disciplined in combat, or so they say. Quite the multiracial band our side is turning into.

===Journal Entry 153===

The battle of Aganis Field. Finally, a location without Wolf in the title. The area is one of the unfarmable plains in the kingdom, boulders and rocks that they can't easily break up so the kingdom put anything that smelled bad. Leather tanneries, soap making and so on. The fumes in the area burn everyone's eyes. We didn't even plan on a fight here, we were passing through when one of the smaller Wolflake armies showed up, also passing through the area. They held their ground and so did we, then the fight was on. We set up two of the bomb catapults. Archers and casters tossing everything they have and then we fired the catapults. The enemy pulled into a Testudo formation. Really. It didn't help them a bit though, their formation was blown apart and cavalry wrecked them before the front line slammed into them. Avery sat out the battle on the hill with the other non combatants, but she came down afterwards to give her healing support. Prisoners taken, the nobles sent to be ransomed. We looted the area afterwards and got the hell out of there. Everything smells now.

===Journal Entry 154===

Before we can even get to our next camp location, another small force showed up and pressed to assault, in the hills no less. Just as normal, everything set up, and right when the expected first exchange of magic and archery is to take place, Wolflake goes into a full horde charge. No formation, just a rushing, screaming line. Yeah, there's a reason why that's a bad idea. Without their own casters to defend, ours wrecked their rush followed by the archers. Half their forces were down by the time they got into melee engagement range. What the fuck is this all about? Most of us never even had to draw our swords, the catapults were never set up. It was a decisive victory. This isn't even desperation, it's suicide. Very few survived and their story was that they were following orders, got convinced that this was the way to beat our catapults. We didn't find any officers amongst the dead or living. I think they ditched the battle as soon as it started. We set up camp nearby. Avery is burning herself out healing the injured, but she's still preaching. At least she's helping.

===Journal Entry 155===

Marcus is writing up a song to commemorate the war and the mostly exaggerated heroic deeds of our side. I'd be more impressed if he wasn't ripping off Queen again for the melody. Well, I ran into another psion. Apparently the wild elves brought one with them to make sure they weren't being fucked over by the Orcs when the war is over. We had a polite conversation and exchanged ideas. I also got a better idea of the elf perspective in this fight. They were descended from one of the earlier groups to fight over this area over and over again and due to their long lifespans, several of them still recall times when they were in charge of Wolflake and losing the battle that left them scattered to the wilds. Surprisingly, they aren't all that interested in retaking their former glory and just want some equal footing and be allowed to do their own thing rather then worrying about pacification forces tearing through their settlements every few years. Understandable. In other news, I found out what Avery and Mike were going on about a few days ago. Apparently Avery said that there was a way to save his soul but he had to give himself to the church. Mike, took it pretty hard and retaliated by suggesting that Avery was also in a pact just like him, just with another organization. That Clerics were just Warlocks with another name. She didn't like that one bit.

===Journal Entry 156===

We're on the move again. Our scouts in the field noticed an airship flitting about in big circles and figured that the crew lost control of it. A few hours later it made about 20 passes over our main encampment. I'm pretty sure they're using the cargo airships as fast scouts now. The only question is why they didn't start doing this sooner, or fill it up with archers We're packing up camp and moving to a more secure location and preparing for a surprise attack. If we don't see any sign of the enemy, we're going to sack Wolftail Mills. Why is it called Wolftail mills? No one knows, it dates back to the old original shifter colony, and they liked to put Wolf in the title of all the settlements. No one has bothered to change it. It's a good indicator as to how long an area's been settled or used. So this is the place where all the wheat from the outlaying farms is
shipped to be processed along with other foods. There's even a massive brewery and winery. I'm starting to see that there is a big chain of production going on in the kingdom rather then having each farming settlement process their own goods. Is this more efficient or is this an effect of bureaucracy expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy? Either way, taking it down should be a nasty blow to Wolflake's supply system.

===Journal Entry 157===

Sure enough, Wolflake sent out a huge army, at least as large as the force at Wolfgate Fort. So, the Battle of Wolftail Mills. We set up the catapults quickly in case they did another horde charge, but no. Something else happened entirely. I knew something was up when they arrived. They had 30 or so of the big caravan carts with them. We initially thought they were an unusually guarded supply train before they started getting in formation. Phalanx. The initial archer and magic volley's began, but their side never threw offensive spells, just the defensive ones. We launched our catapult bombs, all 8 of them this time. The enemy ranks were thrown into chaos and then we moved in. They put up a good fight this time, all our waves were deployed. Just as it looked like another rout, the carts started unloading. Skeletons. Zombies. Undead. The enemy spellcasters did their thing and the slain enemy soldiers started getting up as a fresh batch. It's the first time I've seen anything like this. I felt a chill go down my spine. I had heard stories but here it is. Every nation and religion that we had come across had banned this type of thing. What the fuck is going on here? Neither my skills nor my pistol are any good against undead. I had to rely on my weaker swordsmanship. The archers weren't much use either except for picking off the living enemy, which just made more undead. We started losing ground quickly. The undead don't care, they keep fighting even with half their limbs missing, any casualties on our side rose in service of theirs and they weren't letting us anywhere near the casters who rose them. Something happened with Avery. She had been sitting in the back with the rest of the non-combatants. She snapped I think. She walked right into the middle of the battle and lit up like a fucking beacon. She picked up a mace and went to town. I didn't know she had it in her. With her help, we managed form a wedge and push right through to the caster line. They pulled into a full retreat once we got near, taking whatever undead servants we didn't utterly destroy. We lost nearly half our forces in this fight.

===Journal Entry 158===

Well, after all that excitement, we burned down Wolftail Mills and hauled ass out of there. Though we won, we suffered major losses in this fight, and it'll be time and money before High Command can get our numbers back up. So what would drive a nation, well respected by the other kingdoms, to break out the necromancers? Is the king that afraid of losing? Every church that doesn't break ties with them now will be turned upon by the people, this type of shit doesn't fly. The people of this world are highly superstitious and marching around undead is one of their greatest taboos. High Command has deployed messengers to everywhere possible to spread the news. Avery's been in prayer since we set up our tent. Does her god answer her? I don't know how that works here.

===Journal Entry 159===

Avery got her answer apparently. She declared that she will now give her full support to the war effort by her god's permission. So wait, the sun god is officially supporting both sides of the war now? Dealing with this gives me a headache. Our scouts in the field have been reporting roving bands of undead, usually groups of a hundred, give or take, in Wolflake armor, moving from location to location. Most often at night. Maybe the King is some kind of lich. I didn't think much of it then, but he was hiding during that ball I attended under the Rheingrafs and his castle is impregnable and off limits to non officials. Then why is the church supporting him? Especially the church with a hardon for smiting undead (and terran psions.) I know you're reading my journal Avery, stop it!

>I'd like to see you try and stop me.

===Journal Entry 160===

We got some more people in from the tribes, fresh warriors and some goblins. They came in with the supply caravan along with a supply of some kind of wards the tribe shamans made to help with the undead... I don't know how effective these would be but there aren't enough. They're being given out to the front line forces. Sure enough, Marcus vanished until they left and came back with a smile. So yeah, we're all pretty sure he's got a half green sweetheart. We're set to pack up and march in a day or two to a new position out in the hills with a view of the main trade road. Supposedly it's very defensible. From there, we'll wait a few weeks for more recruits and then head out and see about ending this undead menace.

===Journal Entry 161===

One of our far patrols came in today. They reported that there's been no Wolflake military activity in the field. What's worse is that there's a massive undead army guarding the main gate to the city itself and it looks like parts of the city are on fire. Avery is particularly upset about news of the city, she knows people there. Jason seems to think a zombie apocalypse has broken out. Maybe it has. Maybe it's a rebellion. Maybe the Reingrafs are making their move. High Command has decided that we're going to start pushing forward, even with our decreased numbers. They want to know what's going on. We're going to make for Barrason Fort, a few miles from the capital and try and occupy it, and bring enough supplies for a siege. We start marching come sunrise and should be there in a day and a half.

===Journal Entry 162===

We took Fort Barrason without lifting a weapon. Only a small force was occupying it by the time we arrived and they surrendered when they saw us coming. According to the fort commander, their numbers have been dwindling over the course of the month, a handful recalled here and there and the last week, it's been one or two soldiers at a time until all contact with the city was cut off four days ago. He doesn't know what's going on with the undead other than orders to not attack them and treat them as any other Wolflake soldier. We can see the city from here. Large smoke clouds billowing from several spots hidden behind the massive walls. We have our cavalry archers out poking at the massed undead force at the gates. In the meantime, us Terrans have scoured the camp and have been making some more bombs. We have enough for 3 catapult bombs. Avery went and blessed the shrapnel we were putting in them. I don't know if that will actually work and neither does she, but it's worth a shot.

===Journal Entry 163===

Today we saw one of the supply airships come in from the east and circle around for a while. We tried flagging them down and managed to catch their attention. They didn't land, but hovered up near one of the higher towers in yelling distance. They're from Hebiry and were coming in on a scheduled supply run, but weren't going anywhere near the airship port with the way things looked down there. Hebiry's not involved in this war and thought we were in the process of sacking the city. Apparently it's that bad inside. High Command paid them off to drop their cargo at one of the tribal camps since it's apparently stuff they can use. Clothing, spices, weapons, other manufactured goods. They went for it. They're in it for the profit and don't care who gets it, as long as they have their money.

===Journal Entry 164===

Jason, while on night watch, caught something going on at the city gates. His replacement eye/ruby gives him some kind of vision enchantment. The front gate opened a little and more undead streamed out, then the gates closed. When sunrise came, it looked like most of the fires inside had been put out. I have this sense of foreboding. We're adapting a new weapon. We found two barrels of lamp oil in the fort storage. Mike is trying to thicken it up some and we're going to make some molotovs using a few used glass potion bottles. The plan is that we're going to arm the cavalry with them and have them firebomb the undead army guarding the gates and then get the hell out of there. We only had enough bottles to make 14 of them. High Command is willing to give it a shot but wants the rest of the oil set up to use as catapult ammo.

===Journal Entry 165===

You know, I've been in this fucking country for far too long. If we never got caught up in this war, who knows where we'd be by now. So the cavalry rode out, got close enough to toss their molotovs and made a quick getaway. A few came back with arrow injuries but nothing serious. We watched the undead burn from the fort. They burned for hours, dead skin burning away, just standing there without a care in the world. The only time they moved was to keep the fire from spreading from the front gate. After awhile a good portion of the zombies collapsed, and an hour later, got back up as black charred skeletons. Fantastic. To make matters worse, a fresh group exited from the city a few hours after that. Jason decided to volunteer along with some other similarly skilled individuals to climb the wall during nightfall and see what's going on over there.

===Journal Entry 166===

Jason returned. He and his group saw no sign of any patrols on the wall. They were out there until sunrise. He snapped some photos with his ipod. Most of the city is decimated, especially the residential district. The market abandoned and filled with corpses. No sign of anyone living, just the occasional wandering undead. The church of the sungod is still standing but all it's iconography has been removed and he said that there are lights coming from its windows. The noble's district and castle also seem to be completely untouched and are the only places they saw anyone living moving around. They managed to catch a group of undead moving from the military barracks to the front gate on their way out. High Command has decided that the city is a loss and we're going to pull back to the tribal lands until they can figure out what to do.

===Journal Entry 167===

We're on the move. Our wild elf mercenaries have been recalled back to their lands to warn and prepare. We should make the orc tribal lands in a few days. Then what? High Command seems to think the war for Wolflake is over, that the whole area is cursed. I guess they did accomplish what we set out to do, put an end to the pacification raids, but now there's undead building up. I think they're afraid. I'm sure I'd get my jaw broken if I called them that to their face though. Facing down undead seems to have hit some deep seated fear. So the plan is to get back to the tribal lands and fortify and hope the undead stay away. Marcus has suggested that with the possibility of gunpowder becoming wide spread, that they should build a trace italienne. A star fort. He's currently designing up some blueprints.

===Journal Entry 168===

I am so disappointed right now. We made it back to the tribal lands and set up camp. The next morning, all mercenaries were paid their dues and released from their obligations. The war is officially over. Just like that! With the undead waiting around the corner. They think fighting the undead is a futile task. I'm pissed, which is funny. We never wanted to get involve in this stupid war and here I am, disappointed that it's over without a proper conclusion. We gave them knowledge so that they can finish and instead they back out because of superstition. Sure, I could manipulate some of them, but I can't manipulate all of them. So what now? We have our horses, I think we're just going to get our asses to Hebiry while we still can. Maybe follow the trade loop and see if our compatriots are still in Wildlake. Fuck.

===Journal Entry 169===

We should be in Hebiry in a few days. Our time in the war taught us good places to set up camp and how to properly keep watch. We've run into several small undead patrols. Usually three or four zombies or skeletons, which we have dispatched with Avery's help, and cremated the remains to make sure they won't be getting back up. We'll be at the Wolflake border by tomorrow and I can't say I'll miss this place. I wish the best for the Orcs, but I do believe that their decision was wrong. The undead menace needs to be taken care of eventually.

===Journal Entry 170===

We passed into the nation of Hebiry last night. The road we're on is set in a tight valley. It used to be heavily traveled until the war broke out and now the undead menace. We came across a border guard not long after crossing. We got stopped and asked questions, but they were polite. We updated them on what's been going on across the border, the undead and the war. They didn't say much but they're worried. They will of course need to see for themselves, but at least they know what to expect if Wolflake decides to expand. We are camped at cave on the side of the road that's been furnished for trade caravan use. The walls are covered in graffiti, writings of names, dates and destinations. It looks like they date back hundreds of years. Not to feel left out, I added our information to the wall using Earth time. According to my calculations, we've been here either almost or a little more than a year. I looked back to my first few entries. I've come a long way.

===Journal Entry 171===

I got to sleep in a real bed! Eat a meal in a warm tavern! It's been so long. So, welcome to Hebiry. One of the main hub cities on the trade circuit. Brick and plaster construction with a large granite outer wall, the city is circular in design, set up like a hub similar to Aeyllin but not nearly as large. Cobblestone streets that are well maintained and pride of the city. Apparently each stone has a name carved in it dating back to the first generations who built the city and settled here. The main exports from this city are wines, cheeses and tomatoes, supplied from the many farms. So, first thing in the morning, Avery heads off to the local branch church to check in. She wanted an escort but I'm not going anywhere near that place. It's clear that she doesn't know what to expect. Marcus went with her. He's the least likely of us to be branded evil and chained to something. Jason headed off to check in with his guild which left Mike and myself. We hunted around the market for anything interesting. I got a new set of armor, some new clothes and some supplies. Mike got a magic ring that he says has healing properties, clothes and a bottomless bag which is some kind of knockoff bag of holding. Even with subtle manipulations, those magic junk merchants are a pain in the ass to get a good deal out of.

===Journal Entry 172===

Well, Avery returned with news. The local sun worshiper church heads don't know anything about gunpowder or sanctioned deployment for Wolflake and are taking the news of what happened as an attack on their church. So they're doing whatever it is they do. We are going to stay around town for a few days before heading out. It should be a two days ride to Rosenbridge. It's been a while since we've been there. The place where it all started. So we have been puttering around town, seeing the sights. The food here is excellent. So I was sitting in a cafe with the others discussing our plans when something caught my eye. Someone writing with what appeared to be a pen. It was larger than my ballpoints, but it was definitely a pen. Looks like my old artificer friend finally managed to make it happen. I'll have to pay him a visit and see about collecting my share and see what else he's managed to make.

===Journal Entry 173===

Went through the market today again, some new caravans passed through yesterday. Something caught my attention. A recurve bow. I didn't think they had those here. It didn't look new either. I questioned the seller and it's apparently from a kingdom far to the south and quite rare. The price tag on it was absurd. Avery picked up some things from her church's store, Jason picked up a set of new steel shortswords and Marcus traded in his beat up old dulcimer for a guitar. We're planning on heading out tomorrow and following one of the smaller trade caravans across to Rosenbridge. The area is well traveled and I'm not expecting any trouble. We watched Strange Days again. I wish I had more movies with me. We know every scene, every dialog, all the music lyrics, but it's all we have.

==Journal Entry 174==

So here we are, camped out for the night on the road with a trade caravan that we were following. Marcus is playing some music when all of a sudden Jason starts acting funny. Suddenly this figure just appears out of thin air and before he can shove his knife through my throat, Mike tackles him. We dog pile the motherfucker and try to put on a beatdown. He slips free and gets ready to attack when Jason manages to shove one of his swords through the guy's back. We bring our lights over and I recognize him. It's the fucking Rheingraf spymaster. The one I killed. He doesn't appear undead. So I shoot him point blank three times. Before I can fire a fourth he's gone. Just...poof. Not there anymore. Fuck. This isn't over.

==Journal Entry 175==

Ah, wonderful Rosenbridge. It's been so long. It's different now, at least to me. I'm seeing it from a different perspective, as someone who is used to what this world has to offer and not a lost and confused offworlder. We visited some of our old haunts, the alleyway, the haunted house, the docks where we worked for our first coppers. I checked around for the artificier, but he's apparently in Wildlake. Avery went to check in with the church and make her report, and Jason ran off as well. Mike, Marcus and I did some checking around, anything about us foreigners, any news of the other three. Our leads led to the guard captain. We caught him off duty on the way to his residence. I dug deep. Rosenbridge is under control of a wealthy Baron, but the orders to hunt us down was given by one of his advisers. We're going to pay him a visit tonight and see what he has to say. I made sure the guard captain didn't remember a thing, but I also left a little something behind in the back of his mind. Doubt.

==Journal Entry 176==

Avery and Marcus stayed at the inn during our escapade. Avery made us promise that we wouldn't kill anyone. The adviser lived in the wealthier part of town, near the Baron's estate. Jason got us into the building through a back door and we snuck around. I managed to get a few people to ignore certain sounds they heard with some memory auditing and then we were there. Up in his room. We locked his door and got him up. It was time to explain, time to find out what he had done with Max, Ian and Austin. He awoke terrified, as would anyone who woke up surrounded by three armed people. Mike “disabled” his mouth, we didn't need it. It would only get in the way. He had heard that a bunch of homeless foreigners had shown up and some of them had wondrous “magical” things with them. He had wanted to know more. He tortured them for information. For days. When he decided that he had enough, he sold them off to the slave markets without a second thought and made a tidy profit. I promised I wouldn't kill him. Jason sure wanted to, or at least start cutting off things. I tried something new. I made him think he was in agony. Forever. Always. Maybe someone can fix what I've done, but until then... Anyways, we found some of their belongings in a chest nearby. An ipod mini, a droid cellphone, headphones, a broken tablet that was so mangled we couldn't even tell the make and a first gen nook. Everything had a dead battery. Well, we can fix that.

==Journal Entry 177==

We're on our way to Wildlake. It should only be a day by horse. We have stopped briefly where Dan was killed and paid our respects. No grave, the body long gone, probably eaten by some animal. We didn't even know him that well. He deserved better. So what do we do at Wildlake? What don't we do. I wonder if Baldy Mctattooface is still around. Definitely have to pay a visit to the artificer. The slave pits of course, that's a given. I hope Alex is doing alright. The last time I saw him, we were just leaving Rosenbridge and heading here. Back when Dan and Amanda were still alive. Fuck.

==Journal Entry 178==

Wildlake. We're set up at the same inn we used last time we were here. There's no sun church for Avery to run off to. Jason's off visiting his old guild master. We poked around the slave markets soon as we got in town, but our compatriots are not around. We will look into this more later. So there was something I had to get out of the way. I left the others behind, left them with most of my gear and headed out into town on my own. Sure enough, there she was, waiting for me. Almost on instinct, we both unleashed everything at each other immediately. It was like two fires engulfing each other. My head burned with power and for a brief moment, we were of one mind before I repelled her will. I'm not as strong as her yet, but she can't completely dominate me anymore. With our greeting out of the way, she invited me in and we talked. The other one was there, I know now that he's a telekinetic. The muscle of this organization. Either way, this conversation was not for him to hear. She made it clear that I need to be more careful with my moral abuses. If I draw too much attention, it will get much more difficult to do what we do. She was pleased with my Wolflake experiments, that I'm learning that you don't have to brute force to get your way. She still wants me to shave my head. I'm not shaving my head.

==Journal Entry 179==

So Avery is pissed at me. She thinks I snuck off and had creepy psychic sex with a rapist. How do I explain this to someone who can never see the world as you do? It's like Mike trying to explain how and where he draws his magics from. It's not going to make sense, you don't have the context to understand it. Besides, we didn't have sex, not in the physical sense anyways. She's driving me up the fucking wall. Anyways, I went in search of my artificer friend. He's dead. He's been dead since before winter. Murdered. A week later, the first ballpoint pens hit the market and are a huge success with the literate crowd. I checked his workshop and all our designs and his prototypes are missing. I'm pissed. Really fucking pissed. And Avery is pissed! And we're pissing off Marcus now too! It's a fucking chain reaction! I'm sure Mike and Jason would be involved as well except those two ran off with a group of adventurers to hit the dungeon under the city.

==Journal Entry 180==

So after we all cooled down, Marcus, Avery and myself hit the slave market. Did some talking. Nudged a few people, paid off some others. It seems those three didn't spend much time here. They were healed up and bought right up by a wizard who was most interested in the extra-planar tag they put on the three. The wizard was said to have been heading for Czebron. It's such a pain in the ass converting these city names into English, especially the ones without an obvious meaning or weird pronunciation like Aeyllin or Kinild. Czebron. Well whatever. The map says that's another town on the main trade circuit, we can get there from here or Hebiry, but there's a few cities along the way. Alright, we have a destination. We'll head out in a few days or whenever we're ready. In the meantime, I'm going to look into this murder of my cashcow.

==Journal Entry 181==

So the first thing to do in my investigation was to see who was selling the pens in the first place. Well, there were three merchants in town. Upon questioning them and then questioning them harder, there's a small cottage industry on the edge of town that makes them: a group of dwarves. So I paid them a visit. Of course it's never that easy. The dwarves were only paid to make the pieces and assemble the finished product, they didn't even make the ink, that was outsourced to an alchemist in Rosenbridge who sends shipments every week. So who is paying the dwarves? Well, the dwarves were being paid by a merchant guild dispensator. It wasn't some rival artificer. It's the merchant guild, who have their hands in every merchant along the trade circuit. I questioned a few of the higher ups in the organization that I could get access to, and they only knew that it came from on high. I'm also seeing that this guild is more like the Mafia. Great. Just fucking great.

==Journal Entry 182==

I needed to clear my head so I went on a dungeoneering expedition into the crypts with Avery and a group of fresh adventurers. We have a swordsman, a guy with a big hammer and halfling who won't stop talking about how amazing his magic knife is. We answered a posted request by some local who says that there's voices in his head begging him to retrieve some magic sword down there. Working for crazy people, but crazy people with money. Well, my solar battery flashlight still works fine. Avery was stuck with a torch and nearly set her hair on fire several times. So it's swampy as fuck down there because of the season, and surprise, lizard people, tribals. Why are they down here? They've been displaced by a group of druids who decided that they weren't Nature! enough to live there. The crypts are swampy enough to remind them of home, if not darker, and it's warm down here for whatever reason. So do our non Terran team mates wait to find this out? Nope! They draw their weapons and charge in to slay the monsters. For fuck's sake. No one was hurt, the lizard shaman did some magic thing to demotivate them. We talked and to my surprise, there was a magic sword down here. Something they've been guarding, a great evil blade that's possessed. As Avery was a cleric, they let her see the blade and she confirmed that it was radiating evil. I didn't feel anything but whatever. The shaman asked her for her help in trying to purge the weapon, and she of course accepted. So that left the rest of us sitting on a rock and chatting it up with lizard people. The adventurers were depressed that they didn't get to kill anything. After what felt like hours, Avery comes back with the now less evil blade and we get the hell out of there. We deliver it to the crazy guy who was relieved and then we got paid. Now I need a bath, I smell like lizard person.

==Journal Entry 183==

I found out who is head of the merchant guild. A gnome family has been running it for generations. Getting to them isn't easy, they always move with bodyguards. I can't just kill them, they are Baldy's main source of income and if they go down, so does the regional economy. They usually hang out at one of the high class cafe's in town and drink imported coffee while discussing how to increase profits. They have the whole cafe shut down in the meantime. So I got as close to them as I could, slipping into the second floor of the cafe, the owner's apartment, and did my best. I gave them all guilt. It should take some time to bake, but it's pretty deep seated. I also gave one of their body guards some delicious greed. Small pushes. We'll see how this works itself out. In other news, AVERY STOP READING MY JOURNAL.

>It doesn't matter where you hide it, I'll still find it.

==Journal Entry 184==

So I had time to go through our recently acquired first gen nook. Mostly fiction including the entire Dune series, more Starwars than I even thought possible, The song of ice and fire series, Mistborn and of course, Shakespeare. He also had a huge encyclopedia on there. Well, at least we have something to keep ourselves occupied when we're bored. I don't imagine publishing any of these on this world would be worthwhile. The common people are mostly illiterate and I don't think anyone even knows what fiction is. What is fiction to a world with magic? A world without magic? Anyways, we leave tomorrow. Our route is to hit the trade roads to Eridale, then to Pinecliff, hop a boat to Valmere and then we should be able to get at Czebron. We have a long road ahead of us. Marcus and Jason are getting supplies. Avery is.. blessing the horses or something. I'm going to pay a last visit to my favorite skinhead and we'll leave in the morning.

==Journal Entry 185==

Alright, so we're riding along at a good clip and stumble onto a trade caravan in the process of being robbed by some bandits. It looks like the caravan guards were taken by surprise, two of five are dead, the dead don't look like they even managed to draw their weapons. We have about 15 or so bandits. Too many to easily deal with. Of course the bandits are seeing more money in their future and demand everything. Mike suddenly rides out front, turns jet black and starts throwing his fire around. He gets hit by two arrows which just bounce off. After recovering from our surprise, we join the fray. The guards get the idea, grab their weapons and join in too. It's a huge fucking clusterfuck. Mike's horse freaks and tosses him, fire going everywhere. I manage to keep mine steady and start firing with my Sig. Avery's horse flips it's shit and starts trampling and kicking anyone who gets near. Marcus manages to dismount and go in with his sword. When all was said and done, we've all been injured in some way, the caravan lost probably half its cargo and I'm down a magazine in my pistol. Avery's burned herself out healing everyone and the horses. I'm burned out keeping the horses calm and keeping the caravaners from deciding that we're responsible for their lost goods. The bandits had no money to loot, shitty weapons and pretty much nothing of value. Marcus claimed a bow and quiver and wants to learn to use it. None of us have any archery experience. Currently we're camped at a caravan rest stop and will head out in the morning. We'd have made it twice as far if it wasn't for those fucking bandits.

==Journal Entry 186==

Well, the ride took longer then expected, but Welcome to Eridale. One of the minor port cities and a hub on the trade circuit. The city is of stone buildings and tight claustrophobic alleyways. According to local sources, this town was built with small streets to make it easier to block them off should the population revolt. The area used to be under control of an asshole Duke. The population revolted anyways and the Duke couldn't escape because they blocked off the small streets. They're all long gone and the city is borderline anarchy. The only thing keeping the peace is merchant guild paid guards. I would say that the guild runs the town, but they don't actually have an office here. So it's a guard run town. There are some really strange and specific laws and harsh punishments. To make matters worse, there are four guard captains and they're all psions, all mind-linked at all times and operate as one being with four bodies, and continually check in on their subordinates. Jason says there isn't even a thieves guild present. We're being careful here and have set up in an inn. We'll leave in a day, Marcus wanted to check out the Bards college that's supposedly here. Why do they have a Bard's college, here of all places?

==Journal Entry 187==

Well, I'm never coming back here again. We were all fined and run out of town, one at a time. I was picked up by a guard while eating breakfast at the inn. What for? Being a psion without a shaved head. Motherfuckers! Avery got kicked an hour later for being a cleric without ecclesiastic travel papers. She doesn't even know what that is. Mike got picked up soon after for abuse of magic devices. He was playing his ipod too loud apparently. Marcus was booted for not having a bard's license. What? The only one that wasn't booted was Jason. The thief is the only one that didn't get kicked out of town. How?! He fetched our horses and we left this shithole. They tried fining one of the horses for having two different types of horse shoes but we were already outside of city limits. Anyways, we're camped out and on our way to Pinecliff. We should be there in three days.

==Journal Entry 188==

Okay, I have been reunited with my Journal. We get to Pinecliff at nightfall and settle at an inn for the night when some asshole wizard who somehow knows we're offworlders walks up. Some spell he has going. I figure he wants to talk and I can't easily penetrate his mind, he's got a strong will. I'm tired and don't think anything of it, it's happened before. Next thing I know, I'm on my ass with some paralyze spell and he's running off with my journal. The others are too surprised to do anything except Jason who gives chase. Jason eats a lightning spell for his effort. It's on now motherfucker. The spell wears off and Avery manages to heal Jason. We track him down to a tower on the edge of town after asking around. It's all locked up and has a mud golem parked out front for security. The lights are off. I know he's in there, I can feel it. There are some windows a few floors up, so we hatch a plan. Jason and Mike will go in while Avery, Marcus and myself try and distract the golem. So we go up to the golem and engage it in conversation. It can't answer back obviously but it's not attacking right off the bat, it's in the middle of a city, but we got its attention. Jason scales the wall and Mike does some thing where he just skitters up the wall like it's nothing. What the fuck. Suddenly there's some loud whistling sound and the tower's lights go on. The golem suddenly flips its shit and turns to the front door. I think they tripped a magic security system or something. So we attack the golem. Swords aren't doing much to it except cutting off little pieces. Guards come running over, and I convince them that the golem's gone on a murderous rampage. They never trusted the thing. We have some help with this now. We're all covered in mud but we're cutting this thing down until it finally goes inert. We're all covered head to toe in mud, the whole area is filthy. Mike and Jason go leaping out of the window with my book and the wizard comes running out the front door with a big glowing staff and cursing. The guards immediately leap at him, thinking he's also gone on a murder spree. Accusations get thrown around and we all get arrested except Jason and Mike. We spend the night in jail except Avery, who is sent to the local sun church for them to deal with. We end up sharing a cell with the wizard. He thought my journal was some planes walker spellbook and was trying to decipher the language. He burned the edges of several pages in his attempts. He said it was the chance of a lifetime. I'm at a fucking loss.

==Journal Entry 189==

So the guard had us, wizard included, cleaning the mud up from the golem fight. We had some time to get to know each other. He's eccentric but not a bad guy really. When he's not stealing mysterious journals from strangers. He's originally from Aeyllin and knew some of the people we worked with there. We asked if he knew anything about our missing compatriots. He did recall a strange band passing through a while back, so I think we're on the right track. Afterwards, he invited us to a nice breakfast and bid us farewell. He has golems everywhere in his tower. So we picked up Avery. The church was pissed at her for being involved in criminal activity, even if it wasn't really. They had her doing some.. thing that she won't talk about, but it bothered her a great deal. She was certainly directing hate around the room when we picked her up. She won't talk about it though. Met back up with Mike and Jason. I'm pretty sure they read through it, but I don't mind since they were there for nearly everything described in it. Not like you Avery!

>Fuck you, you ditched me in the fucking church with Alex to go on an adventure, what was I supposed to do?

==Journal Entry 190==

Alright, time for a proper introduction. Welcome to Pinecliff. It's a major port town posed on a cliff overseeing the ocean. The area is heavily forested and another hub on the trade circuit. Most of the buildings are wood and the primary export is wood and wood products, much like Brightly but on a larger scale and without infinite trees. Instead, they have a pack of druids that decide which trees are good to cut and where to plant the new ones. No clear cutting here. The city itself is around 150-200 feet above the water line, where the massive harbor is. There's a long line of stairs to get down there and a crane system for moving the cargo. Jason mentioned inventing a counterweight elevator, but we're not going to be here long enough. They have enough docks for 20 or so ships and most of them are full. They are also in the process of building an airship port. We're going to stick around for a few days until we find a ship heading for Valmere. Other than the wizard incident, our time here so far has been pretty good. Nice town to be in and Marcus is having the time of his life showing off at the taverns. Avery seems distant though.

==Journal Entry 191==

Well, a call went out for adventurers to help with dealing with a nearby dungeon of some sort. Unfortunately, we're the only ones in town at the moment so we kind of got gang-pressed into it. It pays well I suppose, and we are running low on our money. The merchant guild wants this place cleared out. It's full of goblins who have been attacking caravans, harassing the druids and stealing anything left alone outside of town. We're getting prepared for it, got some dungeoneering gear. Rope, torches, emergency rations and we'll tear it up tomorrow.

==Journal Entry 192==

The Pinecliff dungeon. Where to begin. We found the location and went in. It looked like just a natural cave at first. Sure enough, we found goblins. Feral. No negotiations. They attacked like wild animals defending their home, which they were. They had spears and primitive knives. We had swords and magic. Avery kept us healed as we pressed forward. Jason picked out a few primitive traps and I mind-tricked them into triggering them for us. There were about 30 or so of them and they attacked in small skirmish groups. They probably would have had a better chance if they all rushed us at once. We took a break in their main camp after we finished, catching our breath and checking injuries. Around then Marcus notices that the walls aren't so cave like anymore, it's stone work, and the further it goes, the more developed it becomes. We make a decision and continue down to see what's there. We put up some chalk marks on the wall so we don't get lost. Jason picks out a few more traps that were far more advanced than what the goblins were using, some of them magic. One insidious pit trap with some kind of monofilament line across it. Mike did his wall crawling thing to get across and found some trigger that closed the pit with a mechanical door. Very interesting. So deeper we go, avoid some more traps and we're currently taking a break and having some lunch. Air flow down here seems okay considering how deep we must be. Might be magic, might be hidden vents or just the design of the place.

==Journal Entry 193==

We're not the first ones here. We finally make it to what seems to be the end of the dungeon, a big room with treasure chests. They were all empty, most broken open. We were about to shrug and leave when Jason notices that the small floor tiles have something carved into them. Words. In English. Here. It wasn't a message though, the words were random. Jason, of course, found the trigger. Pressing down on the Earth and Home stones. A new door opened in the wall and beyond, a small alcove. We found a jar of honey with a small block of some kind of wax inside. In the middle of the wax was a microsd card. When we touched the jar, a bright light burst went off. We thought it was a trap initially but nothing seemed to have happened. We made a rush out of the cave expecting it to have closed off somehow, but we made it out okay. So what was the light burst? As soon as we got out, we made camp and checked the card. It still worked. It was full of photos. 10 people in Earth clothing in locations that looked vaguely familiar. One was definitely Aeyllin, and one looked like Wolflake but it was under construction. The first ones looked like Rosenbridge without the city on the bridge. There were two hundred photos, and as they went on, people went missing from them, expressions changed, they changed over their time. Like us. This had to have been in that cave for a long time. Why is there no record of their exploration and why did they appear so long ago? We took a look at the dates on the earliest photos. March 3, 2014.

==Journal Entry 194==

We got paid for our dungeon work and retired to the inn. We kept going over the photos. I sent copies to everyone's devices and we dug around for a message in the photos, anything. Why is there no historical evidence of them? We tore through Aeyllin's university library! How long ago was this? What happened to them? The last photos were of the dungeon. Was there a group before them? Is there going to be a group after us? Who is doing this to us? So many questions, my head hurts. Avery's tearing up the more she looks at them. Mike's been messing with her Laptop to see if there are any recoverable deleted files on the card. Marcus caught something though. Their group had 10 people. We have 11. Why? Is there a reason behind this, or just random? I wonder if they ever found a way home, or if they died in obscurity. Did they introduce technology the way we have been? What were their names? Damn it.

==Journal Entry 195==

We held off the boat trip and went back to the dungeon. We brought digging tools and went to make damn sure that we didn't miss anything. Unfortunately we didn't. We tore at the walls, the floors, the ceilings. We repaired damage in the last room that we did and resealed the alcove doors with a message written in chalk on the wall. It listed all of our names, even the dead, the date we left and the current date. We resealed the microSD card in the wax and honey and put it back. We added a new directory to it full of our pictures, A summery of our misadventures , the local date and an explanation of all we know, where we've been and what we've done. If there is another group one day, I hope they find this. We resealed it and Jason reset the traps as we left. We spent the rest of the day in Pinecliff in silence.

==Journal Entry 196==

Well, we're on a ship heading for Valmere, another port city on the way to Czebron. It's a cargo ship, frigate size. It's an odd design to it, almost like a Chinese Junk but with more traditional sails, but not quite. We have been following the coast, and the waters have been calm. We have about a three day sail before we get to our destination. The crew is a mixed batch of races. The captain is a swashbuckling, civilized Kobold. It's adorable. Apparently, most people won't take him seriously so he does all his dealings through his first mate, a numbers obsessed elf who's always calculating the profit margins. Marcus picked out something in the photos while going through them. There's a few photos of one or more of the other Terrans posing in front of some of the churches, pointing back at it with an excited or silly expression. He seems to think they're under construction. That's one way to date the pictures I suppose. The ones I recognize are the sun church in Wolflake, the warrior church in Wildlake and one is definitely the peace and love church in Aeyllin. Maybe the university archives were the wrong place to look for the information. Next time we're in those cities, aside from Wolflake, I'll have to take a look. Assuming they don't brand me for evil or something.

==Journal Entry 197==

I had a long talk with Avery. We were alone, the others asleep. She finally opened up with what's been bothering her. It's all a fraud. The churches. She says the gods are there all right, and she is a strong believer in whatever the sun god stands for, but the gods are like tools, they can be wielded and they don't necessarily care how they're wielded, just that they are. The church, while it started as an organization to help people of the same following and spread the love, it has become a bureaucratic nightmare that exists solely to support its continuing existence. The church and it's god have become separate. It's become a guild. She believes that if she separated herself from the church, she'd be labeled a rogue traitor and hunted down and purged. Why did she join in the first place? They have very convincing recruiters, and not all of them are bad. So what have they done to her? Word spread that she was an offworlder. Some took that to mean that she was divine in some way and have been trying to take her for their own; some have tried by force but her power has let her resist and block such attempts. Why did she do what she did to me in Wolflake? She was appalled at what I had been doing, but also she needed someone there she could fall back on. She used approved church methods to keep me there since she couldn't have an evil psion running around. And I ditched her. Twice. That's why she never escaped during the war and returned. Wolflake was a particularly bad church and she believes that it had been infiltrated and destroyed from within by a group taking advantage of the situation.

==Journal Entry 198==

Welcome to Valmere, the dwarven port city. One of the many cities on the main trade circuit and the main dwarven port in their territory. Luckily, they thought ahead and made their doorways human height, but all the chairs are dwarf sized. So the city is all polished marble and open air, encrusted statues of historical figures. It has a 20 ship port set in a massive stone carved bay that they regularly dredge by magical means, 2 airship ports on either end of town and a massive indoor trade caravan loading/unloading and distribution station. Oddly enough, the city's major produced export is fish and shellfish. The city has a huge fishing fleet that goes out daily; not what you'd think of from dwarves. The real wealth comes in from the fact that almost all dwarven goods pass through this city on it's way out, and dwarven goods are highly sought after for quality and design. The city's most well known feature however, is the mechanical defensive wall. The city has a 20ft steel reinforced wall that sits underground and can rise up mechanically on demand should the city be threatened. When not under threat, they keep it down to allow the winds to blow through.

==Journal Entry 199==

Czebron is about 6 days by horse or 2 days by airship. So we're going to try our hand at an airship ride. We've had a 50% success rate with those, so why not. The only problem is that it's going to cost nearly all our money. That's assuming we sell the horses at market value. Avery's pretty against Jason and me doing some b&e jobs, or me running around grifting people, or the classic taser in the alley trick. Either way, it's not something we have to worry about until we get there. In other news, this place has several bathhouses and we're all dirty and stink, so we paid a visit, got clean, got our clothes washed and now we're feeling fresh. I noticed that I have a collection of scars now from all my fights and apparently clerical healing won't get rid of scars, that's some other kind of regenerative healing. Anyways, Jason ran off to pay a visit to his guild, the rest of us slummed around town seeing the sights. This seems to be a nice town if you can get past all the dwarves running around. Nothing wrong with them, and they're quite friendly, it's just odd towering over nearly everyone in town.

==Journal Entry 200==

200 pages. How long have I been here again? God damn it. Now I miss home again. So we got our airship tickets. We leave tomorrow. Mike suggested that, since finding the photos, we should start checking around cities for any other signs of previous Terrans. So we paid a visit to the cities archives. They are, unfortunately, written in dwarven. A language I am not going to learn because fuck it, Common was hard enough with its two written dialects. We did get assistance from an adorable female dwarf librarian who was familiar with all the records. Of course the records don't keep track of everyone passing through, just important events or noticeable occurrences. No sign of strange foreigners who would fit the description, and we checked back for a thousand years. The only thing that caught our eyes was an occurrence around 400 years ago, the sudden use of the “modern” ship design. Sloops, Ketches, Schooners, Junks and the use of triangle sails. Before that, everyone was apparently using something similar to Longships and Triremes. It's possible that this is a case of Terran intervention or it could just be a natural period of sudden innovation.

==Journal Entry 201==

We are on the airship. It's more of an air barge. It's moving along at a slow but steady clip. We should be at our destination in a day and a half. The airship wouldn't be worth mention except for it's very interesting autopilot system. It's got a load of enchantments set to home in on certain items. There is one at Czebron and one at Valmere. The helmsman doesn't even bother sitting at the wheel unless we're near town. If we get blown off course, the ship reorients and continues on it's way. It can't land on it's own so it's not fully automated but it's damn impressive. It's crewed mostly by dwarves and some humans. The Captain is a female dwarf with a taste for gambling and alcohol. I'm okay with that as long as we don't crash into something. Anyways, we watched Strange Days again and discussed what we're going to do after this. We are going after our Terran friends, but truth be told, we don't know these three very well. We only knew them for a little over a week before they were captured. It was a life changing period, but still not very long. It doesn't matter though, we're still going to do everything in our power to rescue them. They're Terrans, they're our brothers. They deserve better than to be some wizard's slave. I just hope they're still at Czebron and still alive.

==Journal Entry 202==

We made it to Czebron. I first took it to be really weird mountain. Well, it was a massive volcano at some point. They carved the entire thing into a giant spire and hollowed it out. It has only one main entrance gate that's large enough to fit a village and has a series of massive mechanical doors. I believe I could call this an arcology or a hive city. All internal lighting is almost all done through light shafts and mirrors and timed with the sun's movements and seasons through the use of mechanical devices. At night, or places that the sunlight can't get to, they use thick glass pipes pumping some kind of glowing liquid that is also part of the forge cooling system. It gives the whole place an otherworldly feel to it. It uses geothermal heating to keep it warm in the winter and a massive ventilation system to keep it cool in the summer. It houses several million dwarves. I didn't even know construction on a scale this large was possible. This is truly a world wonder. The interior, the parts I've seen anyways, are all inlaid marble and red granite, etchings decorating nearly every surface. It has a massive underground where most of the dwarven smithing is done using lava powered and specialized magic powered forges. Most of the minerals they need are mined from the area which is supposedly one of the most mineral rich locations in the continent. So what do they do when the volcano decides it's time to erupt? Apparently they claim to have control of the situation through generations of specialized geomantic wizards and sorcerers. We are currently at one of the inns on the thirtieth floor. We have a balcony with a fantastic view. We are also now out of money.

==Journal Entry 203==

Well, Marcus has been doing the bard thing for money while the rest of us made our plan. We poked around looking for word of a human wizard with at least three human slaves or minions. This place is so big it may take awhile. Nothing yet, but there are quite a few wizards. We ruled out the geomancers first since they were the most obvious group, but they're all dwarves and don't have slaves. The locals frown on the whole concept but it's considered legal as long as no public or obvious torture is going on. The next obvious target was a small wizard school in the upper levels. They didn't know anything about it. Jason decided to check in with the thieves guild after he managed to find it. Avery was going to risk asking at the sungod temple, but there wasn't one. There is only one religion in the dwarf kingdom, the dwarf god. The god of hard work, alcohol and sex. It took me a few minutes to figure out why he covered an odd assortment but they all lead to each other. Hard work is rewarded with alcohol which leads to sloppy drunken sex. Speaking of which, we took bets on whether or not Marcus would bed a dwarf girl. By the time we got back to the inn come nightfall, it had already happened. God damn it Marcus. Next bet is on what Marcus won't sleep with.

==Journal Entry 204==

This city is pretty damn intimidating. Aside from it being so big for a world such as this, all the people. It's an empathic overload if I let my defenses down. It's almost as if I could lose myself. Anyways, we continued our search, went through the inns and taverns looking for any information and found none. Right when we were about to give up for the day, Jason spotted something. Graffiti scratched into the wall, recent and in English. Help. We know we're in the right place now. We scoured the level. The only thing we came up with was an Archmage no one knows anything about. We found his residence but I'm completely blocked from feeling anything inside. We went back to gather our gear, grab Marcus and prepare. This could go badly.

==Journal Entry 205==

Well, I knocked on the door and this plain looking guy in his 40's answers. He seemed annoyed for the first split second and then there was something in his eyes. I unleashed hell. He had enough mental fortitude to hold me back but could barely move. He starts doing the motions almost in slow motion when Jason slipped past and socked him in the face. That gave me enough distraction to lock him up. We pushed him inside and closed the door. Mike and Jason started checking rooms while the rest of us sat him down in a chair. Avery bound his hands while I started peeling through his mind. Sure enough, he's the one. So what has he been doing with our friends? He's been using them for extra-planar experimentation. I can't make heads or tails of what he's trying to accomplish, but I don't know wizardry. I do know that he hasn't had any success so far. To make matters worse, he's got a buddy that shows up occasionally for “organic samples” that he can use for some kind of monster research. Why does he need their samples specifically, we're the same as the local humans right? So Jason comes running back saying he found them, they're in some kind of magic stasis. That's when everything that could go wrong, did.

There's a sudden blur in the room. The Rheingraf Spymaster suddenly appears out of fucking nowhere and makes a lunge for me. Now? Really? I was completely caught off guard and take a sword to the gut. Before he can land the killing blow, Avery blasts the shit out of him with her holy light and Jason buries his blades in his lungs. Then poof, he's gone. Avery manages to get me stabilized and my wounds closed. By this time the now very confused Archmage is freeing himself and is throwing up his magic defenses. I'm struggling to get on my feet, the ghost pains of being stabbed are still nearly debilitating me. Mike comes running out of a side room and just throws down with the Archmage. Fire, explosions, lightning all over the fucking place, destroying everything. Jason drags me into a side room long enough to get back on my feet. Avery sticks with Mike and does her best adding in her own defenses, Marcus is throwing around his Bard magic. I hand Jason my gun and send him off while I'm getting to my feet. I finally get back out there. I can't dominate him anymore, not with his defenses up, but I can throw distractions at him. We all manage to bring the fucker down and collapse in a pile. Then we realized half the room is on fire, so we ran around putting that out.

The Archmage is still alive but he's out of the fight. I take the opportunity to dive in and start erasing his spells from his mind, something I should have done the first fucking time. Everyone's exhausted from the exertion. Jason hands me back my gun and we tie up the Archmage again, this time we cocoon him in the fucking rope, then we went off to see about the others. So a few rooms over and we have the lab. Sure enough, there they are. Ian, Max and Austin. Just floating there half naked in a blue light coming from some magic circle on the floor made of salt and blood. We pull them out of it and they start breathing again but they're unconscious. We set them down and I take a careful look at their mental states. Their recent memory's pretty fragmented from coming in and out of stasis for whatever reasons. Beyond that, the last full memories were their trip here and being questioned endlessly by the Archmage before being magically dominated and used in a few minor rituals and then shoved in stasis. Their emotional states are overwhelming. They're shit terrified and have no idea what's going on. I tried doing some memory editing to help in their recovery once they wake. We moved them into the Archmage's bedroom and letting them rest for now.

==Journal Entry 206==

They finally woke up. It took a good hour. They didn't recognize us right away. It took a lot to calm them down. We did our best to explain what's been going on, cooked up something for them to eat from the Archmage's kitchen and got them some clothes to wear. Jason and Marcus ransacked the place for valuables including his spellbooks. I got a lot of blame for leaving them, but deep down they know we couldn't have done anything. I wasn't going to fight about it. It was time to get out of this place. We all decided to go to the only city we had felt safe at, Aeyllin. Then there is the problem of the Archmage. What to do with him? Mike called dibs and dragged him back into the lab and began setting up for some kind of infernal ritual. When did he learn to do that? He asked not to be disturbed and closed the door. Avery didn't even object. There were some disturbing sounds.. and when it was over, no sign of the Archmage was left other then his shadow burned into the wall. We're currently waiting at the inn. Jason and Marcus are selling everything they looted and we'll see about getting the hell out of here.

==Journal Entry 207==

We've got a pretty decent amount of money on hand now. I purchased tickets for 10 by airship. We leave tomorrow. We're heading along in the other direction and should arrive in Manden in two days, from there we go to Nespidax, Ainfield and from there we should be back in Hebiry. I'm not sure where the Hebiry airship goes since it's route with Wolflake was broken, but hopefully Ashvale or directly to Aeyllin. I hope the other three are ready for this. They haven’t had the travel experience that we have had. They can't even read common yet. Mike offered to tutor them. We did return what electronics we salvaged out of the Rosenbridge adviser’s place. Ian teared up when the first song on his mp3 player came on. They have a hard road ahead of them, I hope they're up for the task. Either way, we'll be there for them.

==Journal Entry 208==

Airship travel. I'm starting to get used to it. Back home, I hadn't even been on a plane since the 80's. Here I am, using airships to get everywhere. Austin gave everyone an hour long rant about how impossible a flying boat is from an aerodynamic perspective. Yeah, we know. Now that they're not scared out of their minds, we went over our adventures again with them. I let them read the journal. They were pretty shocked at what we've done, especially Max. I think they understand though. The biggest question on their minds, however, was how are we doing magic, we're from a non magic world. Even I'm not sure how to explain it. Each of us does it differently. I figure it's because it's the world or dimension or whatever and not genetics since we're just regular humans. That isn't a suitable explanation though, psionics isn't something anyone can learn and neither is sorcery. Anyways, we watched Strange Days. It's still new to those three.

==Journal Entry 209==

Welcome to Manden. Not so much a city as a village, and just a pass through on the trade circuit. Legends say this is the first organized settlement of mankind, hence Man Den. Currently it's an elven city. Why? Some old territory war a hundred years ago. The city is half wood A-frame houses and the other half is stone building more common with dwarven construction. It borders on forest from one side and a few miles from the other, seems to start turning into a desert. Beyond the sandy wastes is apparently another civilization that rarely makes contact, but is where the recurve bow comes from. Interesting. Anyways, we're on layover until sunrise, and then head out to Nespidax. Took a walk around town with Ian. He's particularly depressed, especially upon hearing how we've had no success in trying to figure out how to get back home and have more or less given up. Well, I found out the reason. He's recently married and his wife was pregnant when he left. The child would have been born by now. That's fucking depressing. So why did he come? Same reason I did. We weren't entirely in control, some kind of hypnotic pull. He may have ended up bringing his wife with him if she was home at the time. I wonder who else left someone behind when we came here, no one's been particularly talkative about our life back home because we're reminded and it starts to hurt. Better to focus on the here and now.

==Journal Entry 210==

Well this sucks. We were on the way to Nespidax when the airship suffered some kind of engine or magic failure. We made a soft crash in the woods and the ship artificer's been working his ass off while the rest of us are watching out for hungry monsters, curious animals or bandits. The hull took some minor damage which the crew have been fixing, but we did get drafted into knocking down some trees to clear the landing space up. We're not getting a ticket discount for this either, I asked. All part of the adventure the Captain says. As long as it doesn't lead to another fucking barbarian hunt. The artificer says we'll be back in the air in two hours. He said that four hours ago. We're going to be stuck here for the night. Sucks.

==Journal Entry 211==

Something woke me up in the middle of the night. Strong aggression out in the wilds. Before I could alert the on duty guards, we came under attack. Gnolls, a scout party of 5. They were feral. The alert was sent and everyone comes stumbling out from below decks and the fight for the airship began. We outnumbered them but they were prepared. We managed to put them down with some minor injuries and the artificer got his ass back to work. Max got an arrow through his hand, and Avery is working on that. She's having some trouble healing these wounds. The gnolls apparently smeared their weapons with something. The Captain says it's feces. Fucking fantastic. We broke out the anti-disease necklace and are hoping that will help. Austin seems to have some actual medical training and has been cleaning out wounds with some of the crew's alcohol. It burns like a motherfucker.

==Journal Entry 212==

We managed to get back in the air and we're in Nespidax. Avery's been periodically checking on our wounds to make sure nothing goes bad. Max got use of his hand back, but it's a little puffy, even with the wound closed. So Nespidax. One of the larger trade hubs on the circuit. This city is pretty racially mixed for an actual Kingdom. The buildings are mostly wood and plaster with thatched roofing. It's main export is mineral wealth, from a series of mines, which flows south-eastward rather then Czebron's mineral exports which flow South-west along the trade circuit. We're set up in the inn for the night. Unfortunately there is no airship going to our next stop, Ainfield. We'll have to make due traveling with a trade caravan on foot. I hope Max, Ian and Austin are up for the task.

==Journal Entry 213==

We kind of lucked out. We hooked up with a trade caravan hauling iron and copper and we're getting paid to guard it. Three of us lack weapons so they're to stay with the caravan if we get attacked. Our trip should take 4 days through the plains. No known barbarian tribes out here so that's a relief. Max keeps asking me for my gun, since I already have a sword. I'm not giving him my gun. He should have brought his own gun. So we're all chatting away while on our long walk when it suddenly gets out that Marcus has been sleeping with non humans. Ian flips his shit about it, calling it bestiality and all that. Won't go near him. Marcus gave the “any port in a storm” response and they've been arguing about it ever since. Like there's not enough to deal with.

==Journal Entry 214==

We came upon a broken down caravan today. We had a short standoff until we could prove that we weren't hostile, and they the same. Their caravan guards were tribal lizard people. Pretty unusual. Their axle brace or something snapped and were stranded. Our caravan leader decided we should help. None of us Terrans had a clue how to fix it, so we stood around and chatted with the other caravan guards, the lizards. They're a distrustful bunch and after some poking around, I could see why. They aren't treated very well by the other civilized races, but most of the tribal groups aren't. This group has been doing the Nespidax to Ainfield run to bring in money for their tribe and keep because they're searching for someone, one of their own that ran off. They wouldn't say why they're after this one, but I sensed that he was an important figure in the tribe, so it's not like an escaped criminal or exile. I noticed that while Max and Austin were initially..distressed? At dealing with big armed lizard people, they eventually warmed up to them. Ian stayed pretty cold to towards them the whole time. Anyways, it took a good 5 hours to get the other cart fixed. They had to make a new one out of wood which meant cutting down a tree and cutting it down and all that. Pain in the ass.

==Journal Entry 215==

Welcome to Ainfield, one of the main distribution hubs on the circuit. No airship port unfortunately. What they do have is two rivers that split off in head in different directions and are being used as trade routes. The city is all wood building with a wood stake wall around it. Their main export used to be wood, but the area's been clear-cut. Now it's just a distribution hub that would probably cease to exist the second trade stopped. From here, we'll jump a river boat to Hebiry and see where their airship can get us. Avery and I had a long talk with Ian about his racial issues. Yeah, he's a little racist and he's having trouble adapting because of it. I can't exactly dive in and fix that so it's something he's going to have to get used to in his own time I guess. Anyways, the booze is cheap here so we're all getting hammered at the tavern and we leave in the morning.

==Journal Entry 216==

We had a minor emergency this morning. We couldn't find Austin for a few hours. He turned up in an alley with his clothes strewn all over. Luckily he didn't take any of his stuff with him when he wandered off for..this. Avery cleared up some of his hangover and we went off to get ready. Apparently he decided to try and “drink himself home” and may have been had sloppy drunken sex with a local, or tried to, or something. We're pretty sure he wasn't prostituting himself anyways. At least we hope. That's Marcus's job. So we're on a boat trip. It's pretty relaxing so far. It's a river junk loaded with cargo from other cities heading for Hebiry. It should take a day and a half depending on the weather. I've taken up fishing off the side with a rod that the crew lent me. I'm totally cheating and tricking the fish into biting. It's just not as satisfying though it is funny.

==Journal Entry 217==

Ah Hebiry. It's been a month or two since we've been here. The place has kind of an old Italian/Mediterranean feel to it. When we arrived, a fair was in full swing, so we joined in the festivities. Some town founding celebration. A cookoff, some booze testing, dancing, games. Marcus got on stage and played some U2 for a bit. The locals didn't seem to mind so whatever. We had fun. It seemed that our three newbies finally managed to unwind and have a good time. Picked up some gossip in town. There's been retreating tribals coming up the trade road from Wolflake on a regular basis. First shifters, then wild-elves, always in small groups. In response, Hebiry's set up a border patrol and are building a manned guard fort, anticipating inbound undead eventually. They've been petitioning all churches trying to get more help in, but it takes awhile for messages to get around. In other news, Winterfield has been sacked by the barbarians and they have been cut off completely. Their new airship trader has been skipping over them and going directly to Brightly until things get under control. None of the other nations want to get involved since it was a problem that could have been dealt with but was ignored by the king until he was disposed of.

==Journal Entry 218==

Where to begin. While Marcus and Austin were out seeing about airship travel, I was sitting in town square watching them clean up after the festival and checking over some things in my Journal when some Elf girl, young looking, early teens maybe? It's hard to tell with them. Anyways, she walks up and stops, then starts looking over my shoulder. She can fucking read English! Kind of. I grabbed her and made her start talking. Almost got the attention of the guards and I scared the shit out of her. So several generations back, some human got mixed in her family tree and they've been learning this “mysterious” language as tradition ever since and have even deployed it as a secret code in the family business, one of the wineries. All their recipes and anything else they don't want anyone else to read is done up in rudimentary English. She's off trying to set up a meeting with one of the elder family members who may have been alive back then. I've gathered up everyone and we're going to check in once we get word back. Oh yeah, airship news. The Hebiry airship isn't going anywhere right now since Wolflake is kind of out of the trade loop now. I'll see if I can convince them to hit Aeyllin or Ashvale later. After we're done with this more important stuff.

==Journal Entry 219==

We got our appointment and went to meet with this family. Well, one of them anyways. The sister of the woman who married the human. The actual wife had died a century ago due to some kind of magic plague running through the area at the time. So around four hundred years ago, her sister falls for a human and they get married. Erik Lewis, a Druid. He claimed he was from a far off land with strange ways and stranger magic. She didn't know much more about his past, she hadn't cared at the time and was against the union. He did introduce some new kind of fermentation method which they still employ. He settled down on the winery and worked, had kids and eventually died of old age. Well, at least someone had their happily ever after. She didn't have much more to offer aside from that.

==Journal Entry 220==

Alright, didn't get as much information as I would have liked out of that meeting but it was something. It also means that there may not be a way back home if everyone settled and lived their lives here. So Marcus and I paid a visit to the airship captain. We started some negotiations and managed to convince her about the possible profits of starting a trade run between Aeyllin or Ashvale and Hebiry since they've both been cut off since Wolflake's sudden undead isolation. She needs to talk it up with her crew and then we'll see if we can hitch a ride. If not, we'll have to take the long way around through the Wildlake to Brightly route. Or we could go on foot across undead infested Wolflake to Kinild. No, that's not going to happen. In other news, I think Ian is starting to adapt, I saw him holding a conversation with a half-orc girl. No agitation coming from either of them, so that's something.

==Journal Entry 221==

It was an expensive ticket, but we're on the way to Ashvale. From there, we can get to Aeyllin. Hopefully Alex is still there and hasn't run off. So we put all of this planning into getting there, what are we going to do once we do? I doubt the University is going to let us live on campus, not for the long term anyways. We've got some a few days to think it through though. Austin and Ian still wake up in cold sweat, terrified from their experience. Max seems to be doing better from it. PTSD is a pretty bad thing. Even I still wake up occasionally thinking I'm back in the barbarian hunt. I'll get back at those fuckers one day. So Avery has got it in her head that she's going to march into the Aeyllin sun church and start making changes now that we're aware of what's going on and she knows we have her back. It will get messy. Fuck, so many ways that can go wrong. I don't know if I should try and convince her out of that plan though. Anyways, I wonder how the Kobolds of New-Chicago are doing?

==Journal Entry 222==

We made it to Ashvale without incident for a change. God the place smells from all the leather tanneries and lant processing and whatnot. We are in the process of switching over to another airship that will take us to Aeyllin. We've been on this boat before, crazy shifter captain that wants to be an adventurer but isn't allowed and an insane navigator. We'll leave soon. I'd pop over to the tavern for lunch, but I don't think I could keep my food down in this air. It should be a two day trip. Austin's been asking the airship artificer everything he can about how airships work and then spent some time sketching something on paper I gave him. Maybe he found his calling. An airship that doesn't break down constantly or drop out of the sky like a brick when it does. Marcus in the meantime, has come to a startling realization. He's got an old girlfriend back in Aeyllin and maybe more. Yeah, no sympathy. You reap what you sow, and he's been sowing the fields across the continent.

==Journal Entry 223==

God fucking dammit. So we're all out on deck while Marcus is desperately trying to play Muse songs on his guitar when we see a light ahead of us. The navigator adjusts course and the light shifts over too. A few seconds later, we nearly have a midair collision with another airship! Seriously?! There's like one airship per town or less, so they're pretty rare. Only a handful of non merchant companies have one in the world. And we almost have a midair collision with one flying at night. Are we cursed or something? Does this happen often? How is this even possible? Where's the fucking fantasy FAA. Christ.

==Journal Entry 224==

We made landing in Aeyllin this morning. Guess who was waiting at the landing pad? A very pregnant elf. How did she know we'd be here today? She didn't, she's been coming here every single day the airship was scheduled to return since we left. Marcus was paler then Mike in winter when he went over to greet her. Oh, he didn't have a choice in the matter either. Avery was giving him her smite look when it looked like he was going to run. He's got a lot of explaining to do. We had to explain what was happening to the others, but they caught on pretty fast. So we did manage to get in the University's dorm. They're on break with most of the students out and doing personal research right now and a big group of offworlders with foreign ideas was just the thing to spread some excitement around. Our three newbies were apprehensive at first, having had their share of experimentation, but we reassured them. Alex was not around, he's out of the city with a group of adventurers who were going to check out rumors of some old dungeon in the east woods. They left a few days ago and should be back tomorrow or the day after. He's apparently become a very skilled sorcerer apprentice. It's occurred to me that it's been a long time since we saw him, will he recognize us right away? We've all changed quite a bit and I bet he has as well.

==Journal Entry 225==

So I ran into the master artificer. He's mastered his bicycle design and they're all over the city for those who can afford them. He fixed the traction issue but it's still awkward with the forward peddles and a harsh friction break. Then there's the issue of people having to learn to ride one. Lots of crashes. Bicycle safety gear was invented shortly after by an enterprising merchant. It's more or less leather padding. Anyways, we had a talk about some things. I have been promised payment for my part in this. Once that happens, I'll introduce him to Austin and see what those two can do together. Avery headed off to the sun church, but came back flustered. She went in with all of her righteousness and apparently got laughed out of the building. Better then getting stabbed I guess. Marcus returned. Apparently his girlfriend is crazier or craftier than he thought. They went back to her place and had a nice long comforting talk and then she gave him a ring as proof of her love and devotion. It was a magic ring and he can't take it off. She knows where he is at all times now. The best part is that she bribed the University mages to not interfere and remove it. I wonder what weddings here are like?

==Journal Entry 226==

I went back to the archives with Avery and Mike. We can read better than last time I was here so I don't need an assistant, but I got one anyways to speed things along. I believe that we may have been going about the search all wrong last time and we have a time frame now. So what happened 400 years ago? Well the University is only 200 years old but their archives date back further when there was a Wizarding guild. 400 years ago, this was an elven city still. It was a time of change. Religion was starting to get organized with the building of the churches where before it was groups of vaguely allied cults, the age of sail was taking off and wizarding went from superstition and pointless ceremony to being more mathematical and scientific in its application. Were all of these brought about by Terran intervention or only some of them? We didn't find anything specific though, with names or who had their hands in what. We were informed that the old city records are currently in the care of the peace and love church. We'll have to pay them a visit.

==Journal Entry 227==

Well, I got paid from the master artificer. Not as much as I was hoping, but good enough I suppose. I introduced Austin and they had a discussion about some things. He was impressed with Austin's aptitude and signed him up for the next Artificing class when the break is over. And then the Rheingraf spymaster suddenly appeared and shoved a knife through my throat. I'm done, that's it. I don't know what happened after that other then I was on the ground and dying. Then I wake up with Avery pouring everything she had in healing me. The spymaster somehow missed everything important or didn't cut the arteries right or something. So I'm stuck in bed, healed but recovering. I lost a lot of blood. This shit's got to end. So what happened with the spymaster? The artificer disarmed him and Austin started strangling him for everything he's worth and then he vanished. Fuck.

==Journal Entry 228==

I got my rest and went out with Avery and Marcus... and Marcus' girlfriend. We paid a visit to the peace and love church. Well, it's a peace and love... for money church. We manage to get into their city archives and start peeling through them circa 400 years ago. We run into a problem; since the city was elven at the time, so were all the documents. Well Marcus's girl can read elven so suddenly she's important to the cause. Well, 400 years ago, a huge group of a hundred or so people showed up, led by a group of eight, purchased land in the city and started paid construction on the church buildings. There were complaints from the elven builders because the design was extremely unusual to what they were used to building, having buttresses, vaulted ceilings and domes, so it was being overseen by one of the travelers who got things under control and brought in several innovations such as a new kind of crane system that could handle heavier loads, scaffolding and a new kind of mortar. For the longest time, the churches were the tallest buildings in the city. The techniques were adopted and used in further city development to make Aeyllin what it is today. Most of the churches use the same style so this spread around all the major cities at the time. There's more to it than that. As we were taking a break, Marcus's girlfriend pointed out something similar to what we were looking for. A thousand years ago, the elves suddenly moved from the woods and founded Aeyllin, started using the quarrying techniques that they're still using and began making paper. They didn't have regular contact with the rest of the world at the time. If I remember right, that's around the time Wolflake was being founded and when most people believe that the massive bridge that Rosenbridge is sitting on was made. If this means what I think it does.. I have a headache now.

==Journal Entry 229==

Alex returned today! He was dirty, bruised and in good spirits. He was with the adventurers he left with and they were successful with their expedition apparently. We all gather up to meet him. It takes him a few minutes and then he notices Mike holding a Nook and suddenly it all clicks in. He runs over and suddenly a group hug initiated. We spent the rest of the day in the tavern getting all caught up. The good, the bad, the losses. Alex had his own adventure. He left for Aeyllin a little before Avery left for Wolflake, fought bandits with magic he couldn't quite control and managed to make enough money for his airship trip and trailed along with a group of adventurers who were leaving Winterfield during its civil war and made it to Aeyllin, and he's been here since learning to control his wild talent. He had heard of some of our exploits from the university staff and managed to get his own recharge stone out of the master artificer. So, for the first time in over a year, we're all together again, and we're stronger than before. We aren't the lost and scared children anymore. We're Terrans. When the world pushes, we can push back. Avery, put the damned journal down! I haven’t been doing evil things lately.

>You're so god damned melodramatic sometimes.

==Journal Entry 230==

So I was tested at the University today. They were trying to figure out how to get rid of that tracking spell the Rheingraf spymaster apparently put on me. After 4 hours of having everything imaginable thrown at me, they concluded that there was no tracking spell. Well how the hell does he keep finding me?! Sure, there are several ways he can vanish like that, Teleport or invisibility or the various other variations of the theme. They need more information. Well great. He's already manifested in the middle of the Artificer's office once. God dammit. Anyways, Max has signed up for a wizarding course. He seems to think he has what it takes. Ian on the other hand is checking into fencing. Good for them. Unfortunately for the rest of us, the University break is over tomorrow and everyone who is not a student or staff need to move out to make space. To make matters worse, all the inns are loaded up with people applying. Fuck it, we're moving in with Marcus's girlfriend until we can get a place of our own. It'll only be temporary.

==Journal Entry 231==

Marcus's girlfriend, Raina, has a weird house. It's got two small bedrooms, a kitchen/pantry and then one fuckall huge room with no furniture. Well, at least we had plenty of room. Avery got the second bedroom. Marcus stayed with his beloved. Since we're staying with her, we're chipping in and paying for food and cooking. Jason and Avery went out house hunting while I did the shopping and helped with the cooking. I don't trust Mike with the cooking. He might accidentally add infernal energies instead of the salt while preparing the meat or something. Marcus got to clean. Raina seemed bothered at first by the sudden appearance of 7 of her boyfriend's buddies asking to stay over but she's gotten over it and has been quite cheerful. So how long do Elven pregnancies last? 9 months. If it's a half-breed like this one is, who knows. So how exactly do they deliver babies here? Apparently with midwives. We wrote down a quick emergency map of the nearest 5 in town should “the event” kick off while we're here.

==Journal Entry 232==

Okay, so we don't have enough money yet to get a more permanent residence. Rather than get jobs like regular people, we're going to ransack a dungeon at request of the kingdom. The advisers were sending out calls for help. Since most of the adventurers in town were at the University, we picked it up. It pays well. There has been reports of strange lights and noises and they seem to think it's a cult or a feral race preparing to do something. Avery, Alex and Jason are going with me. Marcus has to stay home with his girl and Mike is assisting at the university with something. We have our mp3 players charged, some dungeoneering gear and emergency rations. Here we go.

==Journal Entry 233==

It took half a day to get there. We rented Bikes, it was cheaper than horses and faster then walking. I'm sure we looked ridiculous. So we managed to find this dungeon. Sure enough, I'm picking up minds inside. So we go in cautiously. Jason takes the lead, doing his thing. Bugbears. Holy shit. I've only seen one or two and at a distance. They're feral. There's about 20 or so inside scattered all throughout the place. Jason takes out the front two sentries before they even know what's going on. After that, all hell breaks loose. One that Jason didn't see yells out an alarm. Alex starts throwing around magic like a madman, lightning, fire, color sprays. The bugbears come running with bows and axes, blades and the like. Avery decides that they're evil enough and lights up like a holy beacon and goes in swinging. I'm nearly blinded by what's going on but I do my best at fucking up their archers minds and making them shoot each other. Jason's apparently got no trouble seeing with that ruby eye of his and he gets in there. They pull a retreat and we advance slowly, me pointing out their ambushes, Jason clearing their traps. The whole place smells like wet dog and sulfur. After we're done, we start picking through the place. Some coinage, a few pieces of gear that's worth keeping. In the back we find what looks like a big glowing vase sitting on an altar next to some tombs. Avery states that it's evil. Well none of us are going to touch it. We start looking for something we can use as tongs when there's a sudden bang and one of the tombs slides open and a fucking Lich walks out. He looks at us, he looks at the massacred bugbears, looks at the vase thing, then looks back to us. We're having a stare down, not a word is said. He then quietly grabs his Vase, steps back and teleports out. Thank god. I didn't want to deal with a fucking Lich and I guess he didn't want to deal with us. Anyways, we made it back to town around nightfall, collected our reward and went back to Raina's place and got some rest.

==Journal Entry 234==

I got called to the University for awhile to assist the Psion instructor with a demonstration. The usual mindrape. Just writing that made me realize how used to this shit I've gotten. So what happens in the off chance I get home and I keep it? If I lose it? I don't think I could go home at this point. Maybe I should do what Marcus is doing and find a nice girl to settle down with. I guess that's what the previous group did. I don't even remember the faces of my old friends and family without having to look back at the old digital photos I have. That's messed up. Anyways, I went house shopping. Nothing yet. I'm sure if Avery wasn't looking over my shoulder, I could force inherit one. You know, on second thought, I don't want to to settle down and live like these people. These peasants. We're better than that, we all are. I don't want to be a king or anything like that but there must be something better than this. Besides, I'm not ready to settle down. There are still debts that need to be settled. For Amanda.

==Journal Entry 235==

So I was at the University again checking in on our three students. Austin's doing fine in his Artificing courses, Ian's managed to keep up with his better trained peers in fencing through sheer determination and Max.. Max is doing better than fine. The instructor is apparently worried that his understanding of how wizarding works is spiraling out of control. Why? Max says it's mathematics. I guess it makes sense? The locals have a limited mathematics background while he doesn't. Because of this, he may very well bypass the instructor before the course is over. What's the problem with this? The instructor doesn't believe he'll have the wisdom or experience to throw around what he's capable of throwing around and may cause catastrophe. He's pretty confident that he's under control, but if the guy that's been doing this all his life is worried, I'd stop and listen. Anyways, aside from doing the normal stuff around the house and town, I've started looking into a trip back to Brightly and then seeing what's going on in Winterfield. I feel it's time to go back. I haven't told the others yet, not until I'm sure. It may very well be my end, or all of ours, but I feel it's something that must be done. I'll start poking around the others, seeing their disposition towards this plan. As Avery is reading my journal right now, yes Avery I know you are, I'm sure she'll come and tell me what she thinks.

>No, I'll let you come to me this time.

==Journal Entry 236==

A consensus has been reached. Aside from our three students, the rest of us will go, Marcus included, but only after the baby's been born. That could be tomorrow or in a few months. Well, I guess I have time to better plan out this little adventure. In the meantime, Mike is going to write a book for the University archive titled “Earth”, written in English and will contain just about everything, which isn't much, that we know about the situation should a group come some time after us. The way things look from our research, there will most definitely be another group and who knows what they'll introduce to this world. We're certainly not done bringing change. The question still remains, who is doing this? I think I understand the why. With magic and gods, this world doesn't have any problems with stagnating. So someone brings us in to kick the world in the pants and force evolution. Just as we must adapt to this world to survive, so the world must adapt to us I guess? We've pretty much have already made the Wolflake Orcs one of the most powerful militaries in the world, should they manage to take advantage of what we've given them. So will history remember us as bringing in the age of Orcs and gunpowder? Fuck, that reminds me, who was behind giving the Wolflake sun church the materials to build a cannon? We're all here, none of us did. It can't be a natural development can it? Or maybe it was just coincidence? I don't know anymore.

==Journal Entry 237==

After thinking it through, I've decided that maybe the Orcs being the only ones to have stirrups isn't the best of ideas. So we are going to give the tech to Aeyllin and through that, it'll spread through the adventurers to other cities and nations at a slower pace and maybe we can make a profit off it on the side. I took Marcus and Jason out with me and we sold the idea to several of the right people. The guard will be putting them to use right away, they loved the idea. Then there is black powder. To be honest, I'm still shaky with the idea of just handing out something like that, but it seems that I already have. So we disclosed the formula with the University master alchemist and made sure he understood how dangerous it was. We don't need him blowing himself up while unlocking the mysteries of it, and I gave him a quick demonstration of it's possibilities with my gun. I have this feeling of dread now that I've unleashed something horrible unto the world. Is this how Alfred Nobel felt when he unleashed dynamite unto the world? Well, I'm no Alfred Nobel. Far from it.

==Journal Entry 238==

We had an incident today. The sun church decided that Avery wasn't spending enough time devoting herself to them and showed up at the house to take her back. I wasn't picking up anything resembling good intentions, just self interest and greed. They want her badly because of what she knows, what she is and there is a jealousy of her power? I don't know why there is the jealousy, she's just a Cleric. Anyways, Avery fought back and we had her back, even Raina. The pregnant elf apparently knows a little magic and threw up some distraction spells. When all was said and done, we sent the church priests back with their tails between their legs, but we've just opened ourselves up to their divine reprisal. I'm not sure what they're capable of in this city. So we've set up some fortifications for Raina and have Jason watching the temple for activity. In the meantime, we gathered and watched Strange Days again. We had to explain everything to Marcus's girl and I know she didn't understand even a quarter of it, she was bleeding confusion the entire time. Speaking of her, she's got the weirdest mental signature. Might be a side effect of pregnancy.

==Journal Entry 239==

Marcus was in some weird kind of frenzy all day today and blasting fear and panic across the room hard enough that it almost penetrated my passive defenses. He won't talk about it though. Well, whenever he's ready. Maybe the fact that he's going to be a father soon sunk in. Maybe he saw another old girlfriend in town. I don't know. We have Mike watching the church today. He's idly reading the Dune series on the nook and set up in one of the street cafe's near the church. Avery spent most of the day in prayer. I don't know if that's going to help in any way. That left me, Jason and Alex. So we went out and did some sightseeing and hit a few taverns along the way before stopping off at the University. Something was bothering me. When our trio of students were in captivity, some wizard friend of the Archmage kept taking biological samples from them for some experiments. Why, they're just human like everyone else right? The university is looking into it. They think it has to do with the fact that we're offworlders and thus some people might think we're different because of that. So the same reason Avery was getting harassed in the church. Then again, we have taken extremely well to magic considering we're from a no magic world. Even psionics and sorcery which aren't something that just anyone can do. I don't know what to think and I await their results. Anyways, I think we're going to drag Marcus out to a tavern and get him blitzed, he's been suffering enough lately.

==Journal Entry 240==

Alex came running in today shouting. The church was on the move. Sure enough, paladins showed up at our door, 10 of them. We had already left by then. We had moved Raina and Marcus to an inn and snuck around town and seized control of their church and took the remaining clerics and priests hostage. Then, one by one, I erased any knowledge of Avery or us from their minds and sent them on their way. I found out why they're jealous of Avery. It's because the sungod talks to her, and he doesn't talk to them anymore. They can still wield his power, just without as much force. Anyways, I implanted a small nugget in their minds. Jealousy of the Paladins. We made it out of there before the Paladins returned and made for the inn. We'll see how this plays out.

==Journal Entry 241==

It's been quiet at the sun church, but we're keeping watch on it. We've moved back in Raina's house and things have more or less calmed down for now. Austin stopped by to show off his first Artificer project. He's building magic speakers and is planning on using them with his mp3 player. Well, okay I guess. I don't think the locals are ready for our kind of music in all its glory. The last thing I want is to get chased out of town because Austin decided to play death metal or jpop. Anyways, a festival is starting up tomorrow. Some old fertility festival that dates back to when Aeyllin was an elven city and some of us, me included, have been drafted to help set up. It's money and I didn't have anything else to do today. I do enjoy the fairs here. Simple, but with everything important. Good food, good booze, good music and women.

==Journal Entry 242==

It's been a total clusterfuck. The fair started today and we all go out to attend. So I'm flirting with some pretty redhead when suddenly there's a scream of pain. Raina's water burst and she's feeling it. Marcus ditches the stage, Avery recognizes one of the midwives in the crowd and we haul ass to a nearby inn, clear the table and set her on it and assist in any way we can. The only pain killers we had was booze. So she's pushing and screaming and this goes on for hours and then it happens. It's a boy. Marcus's son. It's amazing.

And then a fucking dragon smashes the inn and flies away, shooting fire everywhere, wrecking the fair, panic in the streets, guards swarming the area, adventurers shooting magic into the sky. The dragon flies off. We dig ourselves out of the wreckage of the inn. No one was injured but we can't find Raina. Marcus suddenly starts sobbing. We get them back to the house and the midwife is currently helping deal with the baby. After everything calmed down, my head clears enough to put two and two together. This is one seriously fucked up situation. I don't even know where to begin.

==Journal Entry 243==

Raina returned today. I couldn't even touch her mind. Either way, she had some explaining to do, but she had other plans. First thing she demands that the baby is named Katzakon. I think that's how it's spelled. Probably an apostrophe in there somewhere. Anyways, Marcus suddenly grows a backbone and demands that he be named Nathan. An epic argument broke out between the two that none of us wanted to get involved in. Screaming, hissing, magic gestures. We all decide it's a good time to not be here and go out back with the baby and midwife. After several hours, it suddenly goes quiet. Jason sneaks over and peeks through the window to make sure someone didn't suddenly get killed. Nope, they're both making out. When all was said and done, they both got their way. Nathan Ka'tzakon. Marcus apparently lost his surname in the fight. She then gives us an ultimatum. Get our stuff and get the fuck out of her house except Marcus. So we're back at another inn. Well, time to plan that trip I guess.

==Journal Entry 244==

Alright, we made our plans, our trip back to Winterfield. We're going to head the same way we took getting here originally, cutting across the wilderness, pay a visit to New Chicago, resupply at Brightly and then make our way to our destination. We managed to negotiate with Raina for Marcus. She's calmed down a bit but she's still a bit pissy at us since we're still treating her the same even though we know her secret. She's expecting to be worshiped or taken in awe and fear. Maybe she deserves it but I'm certainly not going to give her the satisfaction. To me, she's still the elf groupie that got knocked up in a tavern. Probably not appropriate things to say about Marcus's wife, but that's just how I feel. Anyways, we've still got some supply shopping to do. We let our three students know what we're up to. They wanted to come, but it's too dangerous. They need to be here.

==Journal Entry 245==

About a days walk and we're still not out of the kingdom. We're set up in one of the farming settlement inns for the night with some adventurers passing through. They came in from Ashvale and have been on foot and living off the land for two months. They seemed in good spirits and somehow we ended up in a drinking contest. I don't remember who won but I woke up in their female shifter's bedroom, so I guess that's a victory of some sort? Maybe? Anyways, we're getting ready to leave. This will have been the last bed and warm meal that we're going to have for a few days.

==Journal Entry 246==

It's been several days. We were tromping through the woods when we break out into a clearing and there it is. New Chicago. The kobolds immediately panic and grab for anything they can use as a weapon until they realize who we are. So, welcome to New Chicago, the kobold village. They have about 5 buildings built, each less ramshackle than the last, so they are improving. Their farmland is kind of a mess so we're going share some farming knowledge with them since they have the very basics down. We spent time in one of their buildings regaling our adventures and hearing about their first year struggle. They didn't manage to get their farm up in time for winter, but managed to survive on hunting and fishing and once things froze over, they figured out ice fishing on their own from the nearby lake. There's a bunch of little ones running around, so I'd say this is a success so far. Good for them. Alex was a bit weirded out that we're so casual with the kobolds, the only ones he's ever met were feral or bandits. Avery had no problems, she's used to us making friends with odd tribals. So we're staying an extra night to make sure they get all this farming knowledge down and see if we can give suggestions on how to improve their construction.

==Journal Entry 247==

Well, we said goodbye to our kobold friends and headed back into the wilds. We were escorted to their border by a few of their rangers and off we went. Sure, they may smell, but they're alright little people. Maybe one day when they become a city, they'll start their own trade route with Aeyllin. God, I hope Marcus didn't bed one of them. Anyways, tonight though, we're camped at the foot of the mountains. We have a short distance to cross over. Last time it took two to three days if I remember right. It was also cold at the time. It's a lot warmer this time, but the winds are pretty strong. We gathered up and watched Strange Days. We've taken up almost ritual behavior with watching it. Things we say and do during specific scenes. It's creepy looking back on it. On the other hand, it gave me an idea. So what if we start publishing plays based off Earth movies or Earth plays? That'd be amusing. If I were feeling particularly evil, I could unleash Rocky Horror unto the world.

==Journal Entry 248==

We are in the mountains and camped out in a ship wreck. It was fun watching Alex try and figure out how this got up here. He figures some kind of misfired greater teleportation effect. We marked our passing inside again and just as we were about to start cooking, the Rheingraf spymaster appeared and was immediately stabbed in face by Jason, who was apparently ready for him. He vanishes again. It was so fast, Alex doesn't even realize something's happened. So how did Jason know he was coming? He just shrugs and smiles. What the fuck? After I manage to calm down and after dinner, we sat around the fire and saw who could make the most outlandish tale as to how this regular ship managed to crash in the mountains, hundreds of miles from any body of water large enough to hold it. Mike won with a tale of demons and devils gambling, sea-elven tsunami cannons and alien intervention. That guy's got an imagination. Damn.

==Journal Entry 249==

Still in the mountains. It's too windy for an open fire, so we've got no warmth outside our camp blankets and using flashlights and our tablets for light and entertainment and no way to cook our food. The camp moral is low and everyone is worn out from climbing up and down, struggling to keep balance and dealing with the occasional wild animal. We had big bear incident, one of the dire types. I managed to convince it not to attack, but every time I made it go away, it would come back an hour later. It was hungry and angry that something was in it's territory. Very primal, instincts, very raw, pure feeling, but dangerous. We finally had to put it down with spells and bullets or we'd of been at risk of attack all through the night. Went over the map. We should be out of the mountains tomorrow and be at Brightly a few days after that, possibly a week depending. It'll sure be nice having beds again.

==Journal Entry 250==

So we make it out of the mountains and are tromping through the woods when I start feeling this odd presence again. It's hard to describe but I can't focus on it. Then blam, we walk right into a bee hive. Fucking bees. Mike panics, screams that he's allergic and starts blindly throwing black fire everywhere. The man who threw down and went toe to toe with an archmage and consorts with demons and he's terrified of bees. I try and bring up the concentration to help him gain control while I'm being stung. We make it out covered in bee stings and Avery's still working at trying to heal them all. God dammit. Anyways, we should have stumbled onto that goat path we followed last time by now. We may be a bit off course.

==Journal Entry 251==

We've been walking for two days now and just when I'm convinced that we're lost, we break out of the woods and onto the trade road. We were just east of it. We make it to Brightly before nightfall. The place has quieted down for the night except the tavern, filled with loud dragonborn lumberjacks. Marcus got to playing and got them all singing along to DuranDuran stuff. There's another group of humans in town, a trade caravan from Winterfield that's been staying here until they hear back from the city. They've been here nearly a year and are afraid to return since the barbarian sacking of the town. We invited them along but they declined. Come morning, we're going to resupply and head out. It'll be nice to sleep in a bed tonight, and get a warm meal. This trail ration shit gets tiresome.

==Journal Entry 252==

The Brightly to Wildlake airship was coming in for a landing while we were on our way out. It's only been a few months since they started this route, shifting over from the Wildlake to Winterfield run when the civil war started. Already the city's expanded and signs of new prosperity. The people are wearing newer clothes, using better and newer tools and so on. Anyways, we should have a few days on this road before we hit the plains. Then, Winterfield. I'm not sure what we'll encounter when we get there and no one seems to know the condition of Winterfield. Maybe the whole city will be destroyed or under barbarian occupation, or maybe they eventually won the conflict. That's what we're here to find out. That and vengeance. Hopefully we won't have bandit issues.

==Journal Entry 253==

We came across an abandoned caravan style wagon in the middle of the road. One of its wheels was broken and there were signs of old blood but no bodies. I didn't detect anyone so if anyone survived, or the ones who caused it may have been long gone. Nothing worth scavenging. A few hours further down the road, we came across several long dead horses along the side of the road. If it was bandits, I'm not picking them up nearby. We'll see I guess. We're doing double guards for the night because of our encounters. I've got first shift with Mike. What ever has been prowling the road may have left long ago. Anyways, Mike and I have been discussing a few things. Our theory is that we're here to change the world, presumably for the better. So aside from bikes and ballpoint pens, we've introduced implements of war. If this what we're going to be known for? We're ushering in the age of war? Who had the right to give us this kind of responsibility? Were we picked for this or a random sample? I've long given up on the idea of going home, but I would still like to know.

==Journal Entry 254==

We have exited the Brightly woods and have crossed the Winterfield border, onto the plains. It should be a few days to the city itself. I'm not sure about where the barbarian tribe would have migrated by now or if they're even still migrating. I guess we'll find out. We've all been holding up well considering the distances we've been traveling. So the campfire discussion for the day is the large variety of races and their similarities to fictional work back home. Of course every race has their creation myths but are they just myths? Did evolution occur here or was this a case of divine creation? That's not exactly something Avery can pray to the sungod for an answer to. So was this all just made? How about the similarities? More questions.

==Journal Entry 255==

We are camped out on a ridge several miles from Winterfield, it gives us an elevated view and makes it more difficult to see us. Unfortunately it may mean that we can't use a campfire. At night, the illumination would give us away. During the day, the smoke. Well, the city is still standing but it's under prolonged siege by the barbarians. Their camp looks far larger than I remember it. It reminds me of the Orc war camp in Wolflake its size. Their encampment circle the front side of the city just out of range of bow or spell and mounted patrols are regularly being sent out. I wish I had some binoculars with me. The best thing we have is the zoom function on one of the mp3 player's camera and it's really not made for this. We're looking around for a better place to set up. Hopefully something with cover as it looks like there are rainclouds coming our way.

==Journal Entry 256==

We had our first encounter today. We were scouting the area when a barbarian scout party of 5 rides up, spears and swords and demands that we surrender or we're all dead. They were more of mind to just kill us and loot our corpses. Mike didn't even let them finish before he was blasting the shit out of them with his magics. I leap in and dominate one of the younger barbarians and force him into spearing the guy next to him. Between us all, we destroyed them before they could fall out of their saddles. Unfortunately for the horses, they were caught up in the blasts and didn't make it. We checked them for anything we can use and then kept looking. It felt good. Somewhere in the back of my mind, the fear from those days, the hunt, was still haunting me and some of it left with the slaughter of this scout team. Anyways, just before nightfall, we came across an old crypt and have taken residence inside. The dead residing here aren't of the moving variety and Avery went around ensuring that they never will be, not without a lot of work anyways. It's hidden away in a hill and only a few hour walk from the city. It didn't have anything worth looting, the place has already been sacked, more than once from the look of it.

==Journal Entry 257==

We've begun a campaign of guerrilla warfare against the barbarians. We've figured out where their supplies have been coming from, several roaming camps that have been looting the outlaying farmsteads and hunting parties. They resupply at a main supply camp where the women and children are, and then that gets sent to the war party sieging the city after they treat it. If only we had the cover of a forest to work with. The plains make our maneuvering much more difficult. We move at night. Our first target was one of the hunting parties, camping out in the foothills. We caught sight of them entering the area and then the illumination of their camp fire. We snuck in. They were a band of 3, armed with bows, javelins, and a series of knives and on one man watches. We got in close enough without them detecting anything, that alone took awhile. Once I got in range, I dominated the one on guard duty and had him bring us the weapons of the others while Jason and Marcus went in to kill the two in their sleep with their blades. I could have had the captive kill his compatriots, but killing one might wake the other and cause unnecessary complications. I tore through my captive's mind looking tactical information and for a reason as to why they had become violent like this. I was half expecting to see reasons similar to the Orcs of Wolflake, but no. Their warrior culture started breeding contempt for anyone that wasn't them until it was perfectly fine and preferred in their culture to kill any non tribe members. Hence, they aren't tribals, they're barbarians. I purged the captive, we looted them for anything we could use and headed back to our hideout. They were on foot unfortunately, so no horses to steal.

==Journal Entry 258==

We caught another horse mounted patrol. We saw them in the distance and decided to set up a trap. Avery got to be the damsel in distress and managed to attract the group over while we lay in wait around some waist high grass. Just as they get in close, I make the horses flip the fuck out and dump their riders. Then we pounced. We captured two of the four alive. We're not exactly out here to take prisoners and Avery won't let us just execute them. So we sent them loose after making them a sure drain on resources. Jason removed their thumbs and Avery healed the wound closed. I purged their memories of us, of what happened, though I made one of them believe that they devoured their two compatriots and their missing digits over the course of the night. Not sure how that will bake in, but it's sure to cause some chaos. In the meantime, we're back in our dungeon base trying to figure out a more permanent solution to enemy captives since we don't have the resources for a POW camp. Our loot for the day, some more gear, namely more arrows, spears and javelins. We would have taken the horses but we can't really house or feed them which is a shame. It's also a shame that none of us were any good with bows, even when Marcus tried taking up one, he never could hit a damn thing with it. Well, we have lots of arrows to practice with, maybe we'll set up a firing range deeper in the crypt.

==Journal Entry 259==

We managed to intercept one of the supply wagons heading for the war camp. Loads of salted and smoked meat and a barrel of mead. They had 3 people, women, and one male guard. We disposed of the male guard and I wiped the memories of the women. As for the wagon and it's cargo, it was more than we could use, so we moved it to a valley, got what we could and Mike burned the rest. So now we have some alcohol. Best not to abuse it in this situation. Jason wants to try something a bit more daring with our next raid. He wants to infiltrate the supply camp. I won't tell him no, but that's really fucking dangerous. I hope it's not the mead planning this for him.

==Journal Entry 260==

Well, we made sure we had clear heads and made a plan and Jason went in. I lent him my gun for this one just in case. So we waited for nightfall and then for things to calm down at the camp for the night. Jason slipped off and we waited. After what felt like hours, a fire erupted across the camp. Lots of yelling and the whole camp woke up to try and put it out. Jason showed up shortly after and gave us the run down. He managed to cripple their penned horses and while checking out some of the unoccupied tents, found a load of waterskins, a map and a barrel of lamp oil. So now we have a new map and the barbarian women and children have a burning camp. We went back to our hideout before sun up and celebrated. Jason returned my pistol and we checked over the new map. It only covered the general area of Winterfield, but it was in greater detail than my continental map.

==Journal Entry 261==

I guess we were followed, either that or one of the scouts heard our celebration. A group of 30 or so barbarians set up outside of our crypt base, archers holding the door. The first few swordsmen they sent in died fast. Any time we peered around a corner, their archers would try and hit us, so we had a standoff. So things go quiet and we start wondering what they're doing. Alex sticks his ipod around the corner and snaps a photo. They're building a bonfire at the entrance. I don't think this place has vents, and certainly no other exit. Then they start the fire. With the bonfire blocking the entrance, their archers can't draw a good bead on us. Alex pops around the corner and hits the bonfire with some ice magic and puts it out. They try again, and Alex puts it out again. This goes on for an hour. Finally they clear the now mostly frozen wood out and decide to do a charge. The crypt isn't really that wide, they can get two in at a time. Mike and Alex step out and unleash everything. Marcus starts playing some empowerment song, Avery throws around some defensive blessings and I do my best to fuck up the minds of those that aren't caught up in the blasts. We put down about half of them before they decide to retreat and get more people. Our fight filled the crypt up with smoke and we were having trouble breathing, so we pack up and leave as well. We're camped out in the foothills right now. I guess we got their attention.

==Journal Entry 262==

So I'm getting a nice sleep in when Mike raises the alarm. Barbarians on horses riding towards us. We grab everything and make a run for a more defensible location. We head down between the foothills with the plan to get up on the higher ground when Jason suddenly stops us. He says there's a shit load of traps in the grass. Then groups of barbarian archers spring up along the hill top and start firing down on us. We got played good. They have no interest in taking prisoners, so we do what we're good at. We fight back. Avery starts throwing out defenses and heals, our spellcasters throwing around their widest area attacks and their own defenses and I open fire between mindrape. In the end, we turned the tide and got them on the run but suffered a lot of injuries. Jason's kindle caught a few arrows and won't start anymore. Mike's mp3 player was smashed. Avery's so burned out from that we're still not fully recovered. I'm a bit lightheaded from blood loss. I don't know how we'll manage if they come at us again like that.

==Journal Entry 263==

It feels good to not have any open wounds anymore. Thank god for Avery. Thank the sun god I guess? We ran into a patrol over the night while we were relocating and took them down. We captured 4 horses and we've taken to riding them, some we have to double up on, so we're slow going, but at least we're going. No stirrups. Well, we have gotten their attention. The patrol was looking for us specifically. I wonder how much we're managing to pull away from the main siege force? Anyways, we're set up on high ground this time with the horses tied up below on the side facing away from the direction we'd expect patrols to come from, namely the siege camp. Mike's pretty depressed about his mp3 player but Alex got it in his head that maybe Austin can fix it back in Aeyllin with what he learns from artificing. A partially magic mp3 player? How does that even work?

==Journal Entry 264==

We surprised another hunting party today. No horses. We managed to capture them all this time. They've been dethumbed and sent back with new memories. I tried something new, making them believe that this is all a dream that they can wake up from if they try hard enough. I wonder how the tribe deals with crazy people. Probably with murder. So Avery's been troubled. I had a talk with her. All of this may be too much for her. She has her faith and believes that what we're doing is okay as long as we don't step over the line and needlessly start executing them. It's the stress. We've been at this for a while, so we decided that we'll see about capturing a few more horses and then head to Brightly for a few days. Catch our breaths and get some decent rest for a change. A nice hot meal.

==Journal Entry 265==

We destroyed a scout patrol and managed to capture enough horses. We looted them and sent back the dethumbed survivor believing that he's secretly a dragon and wants to eat everyone. We immediately headed for the road to Brightly. With horses, we should be able to get there by tomorrow. Maybe we can get some stirrups made there. We're camped out on the trade road. We shouldn't have any problems, I don't imagine the barbarians run this far out of their territory but we have guard rotations anyways just in case.

==Journal Entry 266==

We're back in Brightly. Jason and Mike are trying to get us some stirrups made for us between the blacksmith and leatherworks. The rest of us are hanging out in the tavern. We're the only humans here again so the dragonborn are giving us special attention. We got our good nights rest and decided to stick around for a few days. Maybe the barbarians will forget about us long enough that we can start surprising them again when we return. In the meantime, Marcus is keeping everyone entertained, though Avery keeps reminding him about what's waiting for him in Aeyllin should he decide to bed one of the locals. Poor guy.

==Journal Entry 267==

We got our stirrups. They took a few tries but the leather worker finally got the idea. They were free. In exchange, he gets to produce more. Just as long as the barbarians don't get their hands on them. They are detachable from the barbarian saddles our horses came with, so if we need to leave, we can take them with us. They're held on with some hooks and buckle. We gave them some test runs and they seem sturdy enough. We then got the horses properly shoed because they apparently weren't. Avery has named hers Matilda. I'm not going to bother naming mine until I'm sure I'm going to have it longer than a week. Hell, I didn't bother naming the last one either and I had that one for a while. Anyways, speaking of Avery, she's broadcasting loneliness pretty hard. I'm going to go over and try and help make her feel better.

==Journal Entry 268==

Well, I'm not sure what to say. Apparently I was pretty lonely too and next thing I know we're in my room. Stuff happened. I'm not sure what to make of it afterwards; our relationship hasn't really been more familial than this and some of her holy spells going off like that were... I don't know. I don't think the others know, aside from Marcus anyways. His bard senses apparently automatically let him know who is sleeping with whom. He's been smug all day and vaguely hinting about it in conversation. I swear to god I'm going to wreck his ass if he keeps this up. Anyways, Avery and I decided that maybe it wasn't a good idea and we're not going to talk about it any further. Also just because we've been intimate doesn't mean you can read my journal Avery!

>What makes you think I'm reading your Journal? Maybe you're just paranoid.

==Journal Entry 269==

We decided that we're heading out tomorrow. We got freshened up, had our rest and it was time to get back out in the field. So we're all sitting in the tavern with the map planning our next move when Jason suddenly gives one of the camp warning signs. Suddenly the Rheingraf spymaster appears. Jason immediately disarms him and we tackle him to the ground. Mike starts tying him up. We caught the motherfucker. He won't talk and I can't get anything out of him, it's like his mind isn't even there. So we drag him out back. We decide we're going to torture him. We only know one method that doesn't involve cutting things off or pointless threats and hot pokers. We waterboard him. Nothing seemed to happen at first. Then we realized that he doesn't breathe. Avery tries hitting him with one of her anti-undead spells and nothing happens. He starts laughing at us and says that “he'll see us next time.” Then his throat exploded, spraying us with blood.. and then his body vanished leaving behind the ropes. Fucking hell.

==Journal Entry 270==

We're back on the road and should be back in Winterfield by tomorrow. The damnedest thing happened while on the road. We're riding along and suddenly all our wireless devices pick up an ad-hoc wifi signal. We pull to a stop and it vanishes. I don't feel anyone around, Jason doesn't see anyone or anything. We tie up the horses and scour the bordering woods for several hours before giving up. Maybe it was some kind of atmospheric or EM disturbance? I don't know how to explain it. We rode on at a good clip to make up for our time before nightfall. Mike is digging through Avery's laptop to see if anything was moved by the connection but it doesn't look like it so far. It got me thinking though. Is it possible that anyone from the last group is still around? Using magic of some sort to stay young? If so, wouldn't they have tried to make contact yet? So what if I were in their shoes, ageless somehow and start hearing about more Terrans showing up. Yeah I'd try and find them asap and give them as much help as I could. I brought it up at our campfire discussion and we all agreed we would do the same. Those first weeks were terrifying. No one should have to go through that alone and without guidance.

==Journal Entry 271==

We made it to the plains and got close enough to observe the situation. The barbarian war camp was in shambles, panic everywhere. It looked like they were recovering from artillery though they were out of spell and catapult range. It was total chaos. Then we found the cause. There was a loud bang, audible from even here, and a second later, an explosion erupted in the middle of the barbarian ranks. It was artillery. Jason confirmed that it was fired from Winterfield. Mortars. A few minutes later, another one fired. After several shellings, the barbarians finally pulled into a retreat, heading in the direction of their supply camp. We held our position on the hill. An hour later, the front gates of Winterfield opened and their militia stepped out. It looked like they were scavenging the barbarian camp for supplies. People started coming out to join them. Some were fighting over what food they could get. We decided to pull back and moved into our old crypt base for the time being. We'll let them recover a bit before they decide to steal everything of ours because they're starving. This begs the question. Who introduced mortars to Winterfield? The same person who was sending cannon materials to Wolflake? More questions.

==Journal Entry 272==

We let things set for a few days and then we rode out to the city. The gates were opened and there was a large watch out front. A group of civilians were digging a mass grave to hold the large mound of corpses nearby. Other than that grisly sight, things were looking less desperate. Upon approach, the guard out front drew their weapons. We stopped and explained ourselves. That we were adventurers and what we had been doing out here against the barbarians. We were given clearance to enter but warned that food was on short supply. Doesn't look like we'll get our hot meal. They also mentioned that the provisional government is hiring mercenaries to bolster their armed forces for their upcoming actions against the barbarians. We noticed, upon entering, a brand new mortar sitting within the walls, only one. It was surrounded by some guards and what looked like an alchemist. We tied up our horses and went over to talk to them about it. They wouldn't let us get near the thing, stating state secret. I did get a quick glimpse into their minds. Nothing that would point them out as Terrans. I would need a longer session to find out where the gunpowder came from. It can't be from the Wolflake Orcs. Only a handful of them knew the recipe and how would it have even gotten here? We're going to check into this better tonight if we can. Jason paid a visit to his guild. We met him later at the graveyard. We paid our respects at Amanda's grave site. Avery said a prayer for her, then we checked into an inn and paid with a loaf of bread, which is worth more than gold right now.

==Journal Entry 273==

The city has seized our horses and sent them to be processed for meat. Just like that. They did pay us, but it was a pittance. At least they had the decency to give us the saddles back. Avery was ranting about it all day. So before we had anything else seized from us, we decided that we weren't done with the barbarian issue, so we signed up as mercenaries. The pay looks to be pretty good and we get free rooming. Food is another problem because of the shortages in the city. They're already running up to Brightly to see if they can get anything shipped over. So we're quartered with two other adventuring groups who were both trapped in the city when the siege began who had been on their way to Aeyllin at the time. Several warriors, some spell casters, a money paladin and a cleric of the peace church. We all got to know each other, related stories and so on. I don't trust the paladin. He doesn't feel untrustworthy, but I haven't had the best experiences around them.

==Journal Entry 274==

We finally got a chance to pay a visit to that alchemist. I went along with Jason. We slipped inside once I could confirm that he was alone. We took him by surprise and I mind stunned him, set him down and dug in while Jason kept watch. I did get some worthwhile information from him. One of the sun church priests approached him one night and delivered a note with the chemicals and process for making the explosives along with diagrams explaining how to build the mortar and shells for a blacksmith or bell maker. The sun church again. They don't even have a branch here. The alchemist had to swear an oath of loyalty to the church for the plans, a magically binding one. He did so, any way to break the siege. The priest hadn't been seen since. I cleared his mind of the incident and made him think that he slipped. We're going to have to start keeping an eye out for this priest.

==Journal Entry 275==

We scoured the city looking for any word of a sun priest staying. A few innkeeps recalled such a man a few months ago but he seems to have disappeared as mysteriously as he appeared there. He showed up at the inn after the siege had started, when the innkeeper wasn't expecting any new visitors. But there he was. And then he checked out well before it had broken. Chances are that he isn't in the city anymore. So why would he come here and do this? Why, how is the sun church involved in this? What else do they know? Are they holding old literature from the last group of Terrans? Anyways, I picked up some new clothes on the market; my current set had just reached the point where they were being held together by the good graces of decency. So us mercenaries are being sent into the field tomorrow and do some scouting work. If I still had my damn horse, this would be a cinch.

==Journal Entry 276==

We were broken into groups of three, patrolling specific routes and set to meet up at one location, near the barbarian supply camp, and then head back after gathering what information we can. A two or three day trip. I was with Alex and one of the other adventurers, a tiefling guy. What the hell is wrong with their chins? Says he's a ranger of some kind. So we're set to visit one of the abandoned farmsteads along our route. We get out there around nightfall, poke around. I don't detect anyone, all the farm animals are gone or dead. It looks like some of the fields are still harvestable. So we go inside the house and check around for anything we can use. They got a barrel of booze in their kitchen but it smells funny. There is some preserved fruit and some salted meat, so we have some of that, then sit around the fireplace and tell stories. Alex and I decide to completely befuddle the guy. So after he tells us about his adventure fighting one illithid and some drow in a cave system, I tell him the story of the Morrowind. He doesn't get what the fuck I'm going on about. Alex decides to one up me and tells him about the Emperor of Mankind, except he's using all the local races. He thinks we're both insane now.

==Journal Entry 277==

So we continue our patrol route and finally reach our meeting point, an old compass marker in the fields. Over the course of the next few hours, everyone starts arriving. Avery's group ran into some hunters and managed to put them down with some effort. Jason and Mike's team got lost because of their team leader. Marcus amusingly got stuck with both a cleric and paladin. He wasn't happy. I think this is the longest he's gone without getting any. We exchange notes and head over to see what the barbarians are doing in their camp. They're all in some kind of huge ritual with dancing around a totem of corpses, smoke and chanting. Mike's under the impression that it's some kind of weird devil summoning. We quickly leave and continued to travel through the night. We made it to the city a little after midnight and inform the guard of what we saw, then headed to our quarters to get some rest.

==Journal Entry 278==

We're preparing to leave in the morning with the main militia force and start our attack on the barbarian horde. All us mercenaries are hanging out in the tavern. Mike finds out one of the girls is also a warlock and the two have an instant connection. They spent several hours in a corner excited talking and throwing emotions all over the place before running off for one of their rooms. Good for him, I don't think Mike's gotten any since we've been here. Unless they're running off to perform some infernal ritual. Fucking warlocks. Anyways, I paid another visit to Amanda's grave. We threw in some money to get her a proper headstone made, written in English. I wonder what she would have become if she made it. I could almost feel her presence again. I'll get those barbarians for you Amanda. You just rest. If I could change history, I would have never gone down into the hold. I would have never reached out with my mind and tried to figure out what was in that crate. Maybe the monster wouldn't have awoken and made the airship burn. Maybe you'd still be alive.

==Journal Entry 279==

We're out in the field, marching with the rest of the militia. We're wheeling along the mortar as well while more are being made for the city. It's only a matter of time before they figure out how to make a regular cannon from it. That's the one thing that big gunpowder weapons have an advantage in. Range. They'll out range a regular mage by a great deal. The commander of this force plans on setting up his force in a phalanx when battle begins while us mercs will act as a skirmishers and try to assist the formations in any way possible. Again, this would be easier if we had our fucking horses still. We're not sure what to expect from that barbarian ritual. Maybe it failed, maybe it wasn't real, maybe it summoned an army. In the meantime, it looks like they got the airship route reestablished as one was arriving while we were out. It'll take weeks or months of food deliveries before the city will fully recover, possibly years of farming to rebuild their stores.

==Journal Entry 280==

They did indeed summon an army. A devil army. I don't know what deals were struck for this. I don't want to know. Our forces nearly panicked and ran but between the commander's words and the militia's bards throwing around inspiration and bravery, we managed to hold cohesion. There were many strange forms and shapes out there and we could make out their leader, standing in front of the rabble with a flaming spear. Mike said it was an Erinyes and went on to list all the others present. Then they came for us. The phalanx formed. Avery and another cleric lit up like a holy beacon. I noticed that none of the others did. The barbarians came in from the back, using the devils as their shock troops. Several of the phalanx formations were immediately destroyed while others pressed forward. Our group did its best to harass the enemy. I was picking up the weirdest mental traffic from them. They were avoiding us, the Terrans. An order of some kind? When one of us would attack, they'd pull back and try to avoid or engage someone else. Even trying to use this to our advantage, the battle was going bad. Then the mortar started firing. The enemy line was completely thrown in disarray. Unfortunately, we only got 5 shots off before the mortar exploded, killing its fire team. We certainly decimated the barbarian horde, but the devil army was a bit more difficult. The commander finally ordered a retreat and everyone made a run for the city. All of us mercs decided that we didn't want to get caught up in another siege and split off. We've taken refuge inside our old crypt base. Avery, the other cleric and paladin are going around trying to holy the place up some. Maybe keep the infernals away over the night.

==Journal Entry 281==

Luckily, we had no infernal visitations over the night. We do have a plan of action though. Mike and his warlock girlfriend believe that the barbarians are the anchor keeping the devils here through their ritual. If we kill them, or at least the right ones, the army should dissolve, and they'll return to wherever they go. With that in mind, we packed up and headed for the barbarian camp, a horde of adventurers off to save the day. On the way, we noticed that the devil army was sieging Winterfield pretty hard, as we had expected. The rain of arrows from the walls was barely keeping the devil forces from attacking. The devils had no siege machines with them, though I suppose some of the larger ones would count as living siege engines. I'm not sure how long it would take for the city to produce more mortars but they probably didn't have enough time and I doubt they'd be in any condition to deal with a devil invasion of the town when the gate inevitably fails. It probably doesn't help that we have most of the holy types with any kind of ability with us.

==Journal Entry 282==

We made it to the barbarian camp at nightfall. It looked like they were preparing another ritual with all the corpses from the battle of the day before. We made our move. Jason and the rest of the sneaks went ahead to silence the guard. The rest of us moved in when we got the signal. All hell broke loose. Our hell this time. All our spellcasters unleashed upon the ritual performers, the rest of us picking off anyone who wandered out of the blast zones. After the spellcasters blew their load, it turned into a real battle. We were outnumbered, but we had every other advantage. We let the non-combatants flee, the non-warrior women and children, pets. When the sun came up, we held the camp. We had casualties and many wounded. No Terrans died this night though Alex ended up with several broken bones when he ended up wrestling a barbarian, and Mike was debilitated by the tribe shaman's magic. Our clerics and paladins are healing everyone as best they can. In other news, I found out why the local psions shave their heads. By late battle I was starting to burn out, I gave my last good concentrated mindrape blast, my last bit of everything and then my hair caught on fire. I got it out in time but I'm going to have to be more careful about this. I'm not shaving my head.
.

==Journal Entry 283==

We have horses again! After we got everyone that we could back on their feet, we took the barbarian horses and rode out to the city to see if our plan worked. Well it did, kind of. Only a quarter of the devils remained and they looked disorganized. We made our plan and rode in. Our spell slingers started hitting them from range, our clerics, putting up their divine barriers and whatnot. The city militia took our cue, opened the gates and went out in force while the rest of us engaged the devils. Again they were avoiding us Terrans, but that didn't stop us. By the end of the battle, the devils had dissipated. We all had injuries of some sort, mostly burns but damn, it felt good. The barbarians were no longer an immediate threat to the region and we actually saved a city. Of course they still took our horses for food, but we got paid a little better this time. We got our merc pay as well. Considering all the effort we put in, and our losses, I feel like we've been shafted. I can understand that the city doesn't have much to offer right now I guess.

==Journal Entry 284==

Things are doing better around town with the immediate threats put down. The militia went over and raided the barbarian camp for anything left behind and brought back some supplies that should help. The farmers are returning to their farmsteads. The other adventurer teams are sticking around a few more days before heading to Aeyllin. We told them of New Chicago and warned them that they better not fuck around with its inhabitants. We should probably be going with them, but I don't think any of us are ready for another weeks long voyage across the wilderness. I think we're just all exhausted. We did complete what we set out to do and it was a lot of work. We do have some peace of mind at least. I paid a visit to Amanda's grave. Had a talk. I know it's silly, but I swear I felt her presence, her standing there listening. Anyways, I'm going to run off and meet up with Jason, Marcus and Alex. Jason wanted to explore the castle as it's currently not being used. Avery doesn't like the idea and Mike is doing the warlock thing with his girlfriend. The provisional government closed the castle down when they formed and have been running everything from a repurposed court house in the middle of town. Maybe there's something of value inside.

==Journal Entry 285==

We spent hours going through that damned castle. It had been ransacked pretty hard already. Probably during the city's civil war. After a few hours, we finally just gave up and hung around the throne room for awhile. The throne had been destroyed for whatever reason. I don't remember it being covered in anything valuable so maybe it was in spite. Anyways, after a few minutes, Jason says he sees something and goes over and starts playing with one of the back walls. Sure enough, there's a click and a hidden door pops open. Okay, we figure it's an emergency escape exit for the king. We grab our lights and head in. Well, the stairs go up, so it's not an emergency exit. We end up on the fourth floor in a room with no other doors but a few small window vents too small to crawl through. The floor of the room has a massive ritual circle painted on it and what's more important, a portal sitting in the middle of it. Unfortunately it wasn't a portal home. It looked like it exited out into a forest. Alex said it looked stable enough. We tied some rope to a chair in the room and tossed it through to make sure it wasn't going to dissipate immediately and that we could return through it. We drew straws and I lost, so I got to go through first. Sure enough, there was a portal on the other side so we could return easy enough. The portal exited out into a forest clearing. The whole clearing was in another ritual circle. Jason says it's an invisibility field, Alex thought it was some kind of repulsion field. What's more important though, was what was in the middle of the clearing. A small airship just sitting there with the Winterfield royal seal painted on the side. This was in fact an escape route. A way to leave the kingdom. One that must of cost a damn fortune to build. We had an emergency team meeting. We still need the consensus of the others but as far as the rest of us are concerned, we're going to graciously accept this gift for the loss of both sets of our horses and saving the city.

==Journal Entry 286==

We got the others over here and showed them our new prize. It took some convincing to get Avery to agree. She doesn't like the idea of running off with something this expensive, even if the previous owner is dead. So first thing was first. Making sure that it actually works. Well, we ran into our first problem. The magic “key fob” was missing. Everything else seemed to be in working order, but we can't get it to budge without the key. From what we've seen on other airships, the key fobs were usually glowing spheres around the size of a baseball and they sit in a slot in the middle of the wheel. We went back through the portal and scoured the castle looking for it. It wasn't hidden in the throne room, it wasn't in the king's chamber, wasn't in the armory. If it had been in any of those places, it was long since gone. We closed the secret door, snuck out of the castle and looked around town. We checked with merchants, casually asking if they had any magic spheres. Nope. This could be a problem. None of us know how to hotwire an airship.

==Journal Entry 287==

Our next targets were the heads of the provisional government which is made up of the old military general, several of the advisers and one of the nobles, all of which were fighting against each other during the civil war, but joined forces when the barbarian attack began. We had Jason figure out their schedules, Marcus intercept them when we were ready and I'd mind read them while Marcus kept them distracted. Only one of the advisers knew anything about the airship and I think he may have forgotten about it. No idea what had happened to the key. Last he knew of it, it was in the throne room. I made sure he wouldn't remember the airship and we continued our search. We hunted down personal servants, elite guard, Jason asked around the thieves guild. Nothing and no sign of the royal artificer who may have built the thing either. He's presumed dead in the civil war and his house burned down. Figures.

==Journal Entry 288==

So come morning, Marcus says he had an idea. The king had an ugly concubine, a curvy half-orc girl with bad case of man face. She would have had access to it and may have been close enough to know of its existence. We managed to track her down to a small residence relatively close to the castle. So Marcus goes up and knocks on the door and she comes out. Sure enough, she's got the damned fob. She drilled a hole in it and was wearing it like big glowing medallion on a necklace. Anyways, we grabbed it and I erased the whole thing from her head. Yeah, we pretty much keep shitting on this poor girl's life. We killed her sugar daddy and now we're running off with her memento of him. I tried throwing in some happiness and dropped in the seed of determination to start anew. Maybe one day, and with a mask or cloth sack, she can attract a new man into her life. Anyways, while we were preparing, I stopped by Amanda's grave to say goodbye. I could have sworn she answered back.

>Wait what? We need to look into this!

==Journal Entry 289==

So someone read my journal last night. We were supposed to be flying out of here but Avery seems to think that I'm making mental contact with Amanda's ghost, which means she didn't pass properly. Avery ran off to borrow some books from one of the local churches while I sat around the graveyard trying to make contact. I definitely felt something out here. So Avery returns with her books and we pore over them trying to figure out what can be done. We found a ritual that would let her manifest. Avery's jittery about the whole thing, dealing with the undead like this, but it's something she has to do. Mike says it looks similar enough to one of his infernal rituals that he can help and does so. So we perform the ritual. At first there was something like a white smoke drifting around and then it became more defined. It took on her form. It was Amanda, white and translucent. She's been here the whole time. Luckily she hasn't gone insane. She couldn't talk, but I could feel from her. So we told her of our adventures, Alex going to Aeyllin, Avery joining us in the Orc campaign, our rescue of Austin, Max and Ian, Marcus and his wife and son and our campaign against the barbarians. She was glad that we were all safe and making a life for ourselves. Then, it felt like a burden was lifted from her and she faded away. She waved goodbye. Avery seems to think that she was worried about us and that was keeping her bound here. I hope she's getting the rest she deserves now in whatever afterlife she ended up in.

==Journal Entry 290==

We have gathered supplies and subtly moved all our stuff to the castle and then to the hidden airfield. It took a good two hours to scrape off the damn Winterfield royal seal. We loaded up and then stalled when we realized none of us are qualified to fly this thing. We've seen airships piloted but actually piloting them is a different matter. The controls looked simple. A ship's wheel, an inset orb next to it that we think controls altitude by rolling it and a lever that we think controls speed. We sat down on deck and had a discussion of who was the most qualified of us to pilot it. After an hour of getting nowhere with that, Mike had an idea. What ever happened to that captain we arrived with on our first trip here? Is she even in town anymore and can she pilot airships? So Jason and I returned to the city and scoured for her. Sure enough, we found her working as a tavern wench, saving for enough to start up her own land bound trade route with Brightly. She did in fact know how to pilot airships and was more than willing to be hired onto our crew as long as we paid her more than what she was making at the inn. So we got a new member on the team, Airship Pilot Marika Hajna. We got all loaded up again, detached from the air dock and lifted off. It was amazing. Then we realized we had no idea where we were. I figured we were in the woods between Winterfield and Brightly but Alex pointed out that the trees were wrong. We could be north or west of the kingdom borders. We flew in wide circles for hours until we spotted the coast. So we had to have been west of Winterfield. We started heading east and by nightfall, were passing over the city. So we wasted a day. We came in and landed at the airship port and hoped no one would recognize the ship. We registered at the dock for the night. There was no fee. Come morning, we'll begin our trip to Aeyllin. Maybe we'll take some passengers and make some extra money.

==Journal Entry 291==

Come morning, we took on a handful of passengers and their cargo and took off. It was cramped, even on deck, but we were fine. I calculated the direction to go and we took off. Jason is getting tutored by our pilot on how to fly. He's definitely taken with her and I can see why. So a few hours into our flight, we all gathered and tried to decide what to name the ship. No one could agree on anything and it got quite heated. We limited names to two words or less. Avery wanted to name it the Enterprise, Jason wanted to name it the Golden Hind, Mike wanted the Beagle, Marcus chose Zero Gravitas, Alex wanted the Argo and I chose Serenity. While we work out that problem, I figure we should arrive in Aeyllin some time tomorrow unless we suddenly suffer a midair explosion or crash into the inconceivable. Our passengers think we're all insane from the friendly bickering but they're holding up well. I'm thinking that maybe we can rent out our ship under our pilot when we're not using it and rake in the money. We'll have to be careful to not piss off the merchant guild too much but I figure maybe we can open up a temporary Aeyllin to Brightly route. I'll talk to our pilot later about this, she's more experienced in these matters.

==Journal Entry 292==

We made it to Aeyllin today. Kind of. Everything was going fine and we were around ten feet above the air dock when whatever keeps us in the air suddenly cut out. No one was seriously injured but the hull is damaged. Luckily we know some artificers. Speaking of that, we headed to the university first thing and paid our three students a visit. Austin is doing well and was apparently working on a magic steam engine with the master artificer when we arrived. Ian's started training in some spell casting combined with his swordsmanship, something like an arcane fighter or duskblade maybe? Max. Max has caused some problems. His class went out to some field to practice and he tossed out a spell he had learned on his own that he apparently shouldn't have been able to cast and immediately lost control of it. People were injured, but luckily no one was killed. It hasn't slowed him down any, but he's being a lot more cautious about it. We all gathered up in the local tavern and told them of the war, the devil army and our victories and our new slightly broken toy. Austin got all excited about the airship and who knows what he's going to do with it, but he's got permission to repair it. Raina showed up with the baby and joined our little celebration and made some overt threats that we'd have been dinner if Marcus had bit it out there. I'm starting to like her less and less.

==Journal Entry 293==

Since we can't hang out at Raina's place, we're all set up at the inn. If this city is going to be our home base, we'd best get a home here. The inns are nice, but it's still an inn. Anyways, paid a visit to the University to see about some side project, namely what to do about the Rheingraf spymaster. They think they can bind him to a location, an anchor, and produced an enchanted pin. Put it on him and if it works like they think it does, he should be stuck. I'm going to give it to Jason, he seems to know when he's going to show up before he does, or at least has lightspeed reflexes. Maybe spymaster related precog or more likely, that ruby eye is letting him see something. In other news, Austin has checked out the airship wreck, did some research and presented me with a design. He wants to build what looks like a tilt-rotor wings on it. Sure, it looked neat, but that's not how airships work here, it won't fit in the air docks with wings like that. He's gone back to the drawing board. He at least understands how flimsy these things are in the air though and was planning redundancies out the ass. In the meantime, the hull is being repaired at cost and should be back up in the air within the week. Jason has been keeping our pilot busy, showing her the more secluded parts of town. Avery on the other hand is talking about laying her own personal siege on the sun church. After what happened last time, I don't know if that's such a good idea but I got her back either way.

==Journal Entry 294==

So between designing our airship changes, Austin finished his magic steam engine. Jason and I went over and we discussed what to do with it. It's a small prototype, simple expansion engine. Our first idea was a car. Unfortunately we can't produce tires. As near as we can figure, worldwide rubber production is nil. Rubber trees may not even exist here. We could put it in an airship, but that won't make it any safer than the current ones. That leaves trains. Why would anyone use trains over airships? They can haul much more cargo. That may be the problem though. It can potentially haul more than any city can currently export. The world might not be ready for this. Austin is going to put it on the back burner for now, but will produce a small scale train for demonstration purposes once he's done with the airship. Maybe something to the main farmsteads and back or maybe around town as public transportation for those who can't afford the expensive bicycles. In other news, the last of my bic pens died. I am officially using one of the local ballpoints that have made their way here. It's not as smooth but it works well enough. I donated my empties to the master artificer. Since there's no such thing as patent offices here, he could start producing his own brand and we can make a fortune off them and fuck the merchant guild.

==Journal Entry 295==

Avery decided it was time, grabbed her gear, grabbed most of us and charged for the sun church. She said she had a vision. She was very clear, no casualties. Well, they were not happy to see us, that's for sure. We walk in, look over the place. In a room full of paladins, clerics and priests, Avery walks right up into the pulpit, tosses out the head priest, knocks over the podium, lights up like a holy beacon and declares that it's time for a change. That girl has some fucking balls. They aren't having any of this and try firing off their holy lasers and smites. It's not happening. They're all shocked. Avery starts laying down the laws as written and how it's time to start following them again, to do as they preach. Anyone that tried getting close gets burned. Even us. They were forced to listen or leave. About a quarter of them left with their iconography burned off and from what I picked up, they were going to the peace and love church to enlist. The rest were inspired, entranced by what she was doing. She went on for 4 hours. She's still going on! I don't know how to handle this. Yesterday she was just Avery, a close friend, a sister, who keeps reading my journal behind my back and who I have playful fights with when we're bored. Now suddenly it's like she's becoming some kind of divine figure. How does anyone deal with this?

==Journal Entry 296==

Avery is still at the church doing her thing. It's really not my thing so I slummed around town for a bit and then oversaw the airship repairs. It looks about done. Austin's been adding auxiliary/emergency engines to keep it up in the air should the mains fail. So why do the mains fail? Well sometimes it just does apparently. It's a thing with artificing enchantments. There's a tiny percent chance that it's just going to fuck up at some point and it increases with wear and tear. The auxiliaries are there to keep us up until the mains can be repaired, which any artificer can do in under an hour in normal circumstances apparently, or limp to the nearest port. So aside from that, he wants to add pontoons for water landings and is still going on about adding wings. As long as they fit on the air dock, I don't mind I guess.

==Journal Entry 297==

Avery is at the church still. She's got her hands full. I decided to keep myself busy and paid a visit to the University, visited the psion instructor first. We had a good mindrape session and he recommended that I start meditating and expanding my mind but without drugs, and see where I end up. He demonstrated some techniques. I guess. Afterwards I paid a visit to the master artificer to see if he could do anything with our broken electronics. He didn't have a clue how they worked but said he had some ideas. He took the mp3 player and kindle to his work counter and grabbed some tools and threw around some spells while poking them. Maybe if I knew anything about artificing, I'd have an idea of what he was doing. He said it would take a day or more, so I left him to his work. After that, I visited the summoners and had a talk as to why the devils have been treating us the way they have. It kind of baffled the summoners and they summoned up a..one of them said it was a brachina? He had me stand behind a wall. The devil showed up and starts doing it's wheeling and dealing and then I step out from behind the wall. It shuts right up and won't say a thing. I get up as close as I can to the summoning circle without crossing the line and it doesn't move, just watching me. The summoners start asking questions, trying to make deals. Nothing. Apparently when the warlock instructor tried doing this a year ago with us, it was thought of as a fluke. They continued bombarding it with questions until it finally said something. It asked, not demanded, to be sent back. They suggested we try summoning a demon tomorrow and see if we can get anything out of that.

==Journal Entry 298==

Had lunch with Avery today. She looks tired and she's a little afraid of what she's doing. What she's becoming. And there's still so much to do. All of this work is only going to effect this particular branch. She did check the church archives for anything pertaining to cannons and found something of interest. It's a 300 year old entry about reassigning new clerics in training to maintain the city cannon. We haven't seen any sign of any cannon in the city. The only place it would make sense to have one would be on the outer wall. Jason and Marcus are going to go check it out while I pay a visit to the University. First thing was first, the artificer. He managed to fix the Kindle. It looks like new but has a metallic sheen to it. How the hell? The mp3 player on the other hand, somehow it went wrong and it's become a small 6 inch tall golem of some sort that's escaped and was last heard blasting Madonna down the halls before it escaped into the city. That one broke my brain for a while. And what was Mike doing with Madonna on his mp3 player? I managed to make it to summoning on schedule however. They had me get behind a wall and then summoned up a succubus. It turned on the charm right away. They had me come out and she started laughing and turned up the charm even more. I asked her what she knew of Terrans and why the devils seize up when we're around. So she told a tale, some of it real, some of it not. The real parts.. Well apparently 1500 years ago, demons and devils could come and go as they pleased. One of the first groups of Terrans arrived and to make a long story short, one of them was a lawyer of some kind and put the devils and demons into some kind of binding arbitration, effectively banning them from warring against each other on this plane and keeping them from being able to manifest on their own here. She also seemed to suggest that he went on to become a top ranking devil lord. From that point on, the devils were ordered never to make a deal with a Terran under any circumstance. Demons have no such order and have made attempts at collecting Terran travelers for their own uses against devils with little success. Well, that answers some questions I guess.

==Journal Entry 299==

The airship's hull is fixed! Aside from the auxiliary engines, Austin's changes have yet to be implemented. While he prepares that, I set up a trade run for our pilot to Brightly and back. Marcus, Austin and Alex are heading out with her. It should be a 24 hour run. Austin is hard at work getting his upgrades ready between his class. The other two, Ian and Max, are on their first adventurer trip out to one of the local dungeons with some more experienced adventurers. Best of luck to them, hopefully Max won't accidentally nuke the region. After the airship left, I had a surprise visit from Raina, baby and everything. She wants to know why Marcus isn't getting a larger cut of the profit since he has a family to feed. She's trying to emotionally blackmail me. Fuck that noise, even cuts for all. I made it very clear that I wasn't changing the group policy. What is she even going on about, she's a dragon, doesn't she have a mountain of gold somewhere? Or is she living in Aeyllin because she's the equivalent of a dragon hobo? Hell, she originally wanted Marcus to run off and be a farmer. I don't get her at all. Anyways, I'm starting to worry about Avery. I'm seeing less and less of her lately because of her work at the church. Do you even read my journal anymore Avery?

==Journal Entry 300==

A troupe of worn out, dirty adventurers arrived in town, Mike's warlock girlfriend among them. He's off seeing to her. Maybe he can tell her about the mp3 golem running around the market district blasting “Like a Virgin” and terrorizing the locals. Anyways, the airship arrived today carrying wood products from Brightly and more importantly, profits. The wealth was distributed and another run is going to be lined up in a few days. Anyways, Jason has finished scouring the city and found what he thinks was a cannon mount and one cannon ball. So at some point, this city had a cannon. We checked the city records in the peace and love church and with a translator, found out that around the time the last Terrans were here, a cannon was made to defend it from an expected attack from a big war that was consuming the continent at the time. It was never used as Aeyllin was too isolated to get involved. It was maintained for awhile, then it was melted down around 200 years ago for it's metal content because no one knew what it was anymore. It was listed as a statue. What else has been lost? I see we're going to have to look into the dissemination of knowledge now as well. I'm going to have that Earth book duplicated and drop a copy to every cities archives that our airship visits. We also need to invent the printing press. I'm going to drop that one on the artificer tomorrow. That still leaves the issue, that somewhere, one of the churches or at least a few members, know things that they shouldn't and they're keeping it for themselves. We'll just see about that.

==Journal Entry 301==

I paid a visit to the master artificer with Jason and we told him all about the printing press. His eyes lit up and not with magic. The possibility of not having to use messy copy pens or having to wait a day with a dupe box? He loved that idea. Of course he's having the all time consuming problem of too much to do and not enough time. He's thinking about turning his artificing class into a workshop to start churning out all these wonders we keep giving him or at least start a second after-class group to do this. In other news, Austin finished the wings and attached them to the airship. Delta style wings. We grabbed our pilot, Jason, Alex and Ian and went up to try it out. We can bank now. The good thing is that we now have superb maneuverability. The downside is that it's easy to lose our footing and go falling over the side. Austin is going to work on that along with reinforcing them since they started vibrating when we got up to speed. So far so good though. Afterwards, we had lunch with Avery. She's looking better, more rested. We all had a long talk about what's going on. She's setting up some of her strong believers up to take over the church so she can move on to other things, like dealing with other church branches. She still wants to travel with us, so that's good. We discussed what we're going to do next but nothing came to mind other than visiting other cities. It was a good lunch, even if that god damn mp3 golem was somewhere nearby playing “Don't cry for me Argentina” the whole time.

==Journal Entry 302==

So I've been trying this meditation thing the psion instructor suggested I do over the last few days and I may have hit paydirt. I'm sitting there and suddenly I'm floating through town, almost dream like, people are reacting to me in shock and surprise and then I realize that I'm not in my body and instantly snapped back. What the fuck was that? I thought I had dozed off but there was word on the street of a ghost or wraith running around when I went out. I paid a visit to the psion instructor and he said that I apparently can detach. What the fuck? So what happens if I can't snap back? I'm a bit worried about this. Speaking of new tricks, Austin is adding a tail to the rear and canards to the front of the airship. I hope he realizes he's going to confuse the hell out of the pilot with all the new controls. Speaking of which, we finally managed to break the name tie for the airship. Jason wins, we're calling it the Golden Hind. We're having it painted in English on the side, and then in common in smaller lettering. As for the color to paint it, we're going primarily with red. Because red makes everything faster.

==Journal Entry 303==

So I'm sitting down to start my meditation session when Jason walks in and starts talking about trade routes between Aeyllin, Brightly and Winterfield. I'm wondering why the hell he chose now to decide to talk about this when suddenly the Rheingraf spymaster appears, knives and all. Without thinking I unleash a mind bolt at him which of course does nothing. Jason's already got him disarmed and the anchor pin on him. How the hell does he move so fast? The spymaster seems displeased. We tie him up, get the others and drag him to the University to find out what the hell is going on. The researchers manage to render him unconscious with some magic and start poking and prodding. Well he's not an infernal but he shares similar properties. It baffled them for awhile until the master artificer started his analysis. He's got subdermal enchantments. Everywhere. Like someone tore him apart and re-enchanted every piece as they put him back together while adding in metal reinforcements. How the hell is this even possible? It's a god damn magical trans-huma..trans-elf. Did the Rheingrafs pay for this procedure or did they hire him like this? Did they buy him? Anyways, as far as we can tell, every time we killed him, he has some kind of fail-safe magic recall and then he regenerates. So how do we stop him? We have to break down every enchantment. The University wants to keep him for study. As long as they keep him caged and away from me, I'm fine with that.

==Journal Entry 304==

So Austin finished his current round of upgrades and we gave them a test run to make sure they wouldn't just snap off. Sure enough, the pilot's having some trouble adapting but she's doing an admirable job. Austin provided her with boots that keep her firmly locked in place, even if the ship flips over. I'm calling them magic gravity boots for now. So while we're in the airdock, the other trade airship is also in dock, the Celestial Rose, captained by a certain adventurous shifter. He swaggers on over and declares that his ship is faster. Well, that just won't stand. Austin starts bragging. So he challenges us to an air race. To the mountains and back, a 2 hour ride, 2 laps. I'm pretty sure we just kicked off the first air race in the world. Word spreads around town pretty quick and we got spectators. Even the mp3 golem gets into it and is running around town playing speed metal. The Rose dumps it's cargo to lighten up, only the basic crew, namely the artificer and the pilot. Austin's all excited. Some university professors are tagged official judges, bets are made and the countdown begins. One of the judges fires off a lightning spell into the air as the start signal, both airships lift off and they're off. We lose sight of them pretty quickly. Two hours later, the first pass. The Hind is in the lead. Two hours after that, the Hind crosses the finish line with no sight of the Rose. We have a big celebration. The Rose's captain is pissed. Well, an hour later, the Rose still hasn't shown up. We load up on the Hind and head out on a search and rescue mission. Sure enough, we find the wreck of the Rose in the foothills. It had an engine failure. We land and check for survivors. The pilot is dead but the artificer's okay if injured. Apparently the mains failed due to stress and they swandived into the side of a hill. The hull is wrecked but there's enough of it left, that the captain thinks it's salvageable. It looks like a mess of mangled wood to me. Austin and the Rose's artificer managed to get the mains back up to make it lighter so we can tow it back to Aeyllin's airdock. It's captain seems to think he has enough money to pay for its repairs, apparently his family is rich from their trade run. Maybe Austin can talk him into getting his auxiliary engines installed. For a price of course.

==Journal Entry 305==

While the Rose's hull is being repaired, our pilot Marika, Austin, Ian and Jason are doing a trade run to Brightly and back and then they're going to do another run to Ashvale to cover for the Rose while it's down. Some of the Rose's crew is signed on to assist as well. I did more meditation practice and detached again. Tried to stay out of public eye and messed around to see what I could do. Not much. Can't move anything solid, not yet anyways. After a while of wandering around the less traveled areas of the city, I kind of forgot that I wasn't in my body and paid a visit to Avery at the church. Half the attendees saw it as a sign, the others panicked. Whoops. Avery stormed over afterwards and gave me a good talking to about doing that. I told her it was an accident. She thinks I'm running around impersonating a ghost to get my kicks while we're hanging in town. Now I have to go over there and apologize. Why do you do this to me Avery?

==Journal Entry 306==

It's been a few days. The Hind is back from it's trade runs, we made some nice profit. They also had a message. There's a general call for adventurers and mercenaries to Hebiry to join in the defense against the undead. It sounds like people are starting to get worried about Wolflake. We all gathered up and had a long discussion. We're going to go. It's time we wrapped up this chapter of our lives. The University courses end in a few days. We're going to let our students finish and then we're heading off. We're going to sell tickets to any others who want to go along for the ride. I figure we can make it there in three or four days if we go a direct route instead of the week if we followed the trade path. Of course that means we'll be flying right over Wolflake. We can make some good recon while we're there. Avery is definitely coming with us, she says she'll have the church branch all sorted out by then. In the meantime, we're dumping as much information on the master artificer as we can in case we don't make it back. I can't believe how far we've come. It's almost two years now and we're no longer scared. We've become powerful. We have pushed back. What has this world done to us?

==Journal Entry 307==

I got a surprise visit from Raina while I was traipsing about unattached. Apparently I can communicate just fine, especially when I'm angry. She doesn't so much mind that we're dragging Marcus off to join the war. No, she wants the airship. She wants us to have the pilot fly it back to Aeyllin once we get there. Why does a dragon want an airship? Well she wants to use it for business. More greed. Seriously? She's decided that because she's Marcus's wife, she and the baby own a percentage of it, and because all three of them combined make up a majority, she should get to decide what to do with it. Well first of all, they never got married. Getting knocked up and churning out a baby is not marriage in my book. Fuck that noise. Oh did she get pissed off. I think she was seconds from changing forms when Marcus showed up and defused the whole situation somehow. What ever happened to the happy go lucky elf girl I remember? Was it all an act? Is she still under control of pregnancy hormones? Is it that time of month for dragon women? Would dragon attacks even effect a psychic ghost?

==Journal Entry 308==

I'm starting to grab supplies for the trip. We're bringing enough ingredients to make one ton of black powder, but we're not mixing them until we get there. No need to be flying around with the world's largest bomb in our cargo bay. I also picked up some new armor and a new sword for emergencies and of course a new set of clothes. Austin is making some final adjustments to the ship, adding more lights and reinforcing the underside and landing struts. We've already sold out on tickets just from graduating adventurers who want to get in on the action or just want a shortcut to the main trade circuit. I made sure to mention that if anyone had any complaints, that they need to see Raina. She'll handle all of that whether she knows it or not. In other news, Jason has apparently learned to just up and vanish. I can tell he's around, he's just gone invisible. How the hell? Is that something he picked up off the spymaster or just something that the high ranking members of his guild get?

==Journal Entry 309==

And we're off! The University students graduated last night and we all took our three graduates and got smashed at the tavern. We gave them some new adventuring equipment for the war ahead and then we got smashed again. A grand time was had by all and I'm pretty sure the central district got trashed from all the partying students. Come morning, Avery cleared us of our hangovers, we said goodbye to friends we'd made and we hopped ship. It took a few hours for all our passengers to show up. Mike's girlfriend is among the passengers. Lucky. We didn't overbook luckily and are still below our “predicted” maximum carry weight. It's more of an educated guess at this point. We lucked out, the sky is clear blue, no clouds. We'll be flying over a few mountain ranges. We should make Wolflake in two days and Hebiry in three if all goes to plan, four at most. In other news, the mp3 golem is on board somewhere. I've been hearing techno all day and it won't stop.

==Journal Entry 310==

Just as we were about to crest a mountain ridge and cross the Wolflake border, our mains went out. Luckily. the auxiliaries kept us up long enough for Austin to fix. Excellent work. Wolflake has changed since we were here last. The green plains are brown, all the settlements we passed were ruined or smoldering. We saw several groups of wandering undead milling about as we passed above. Stupid Orcs, we could have won that campaign. We were so close. We were within sight of the city gates! We gave them what they needed. But no. So here we are again and soon we'll be under the flag of Hebiry. Just as we put an end to the barbarian threat, we'll deal with this mess too, even if I have to mindrape whoever is in command.

==Journal Entry 311==

We made it to Hebiry today. The city was surrounded by refugee camps from Wolflake and had a large militia force hanging around the city. From the looks of it, the walls are being reinforced and we had spotted several new guard posts along the trade road, so they are preparing. Well, people were surprised when a new airship landed at the city air dock and wasn't carrying trade cargo. We unloaded our passengers and went around to check out the city. It looks like the tribal Orcs finally retreated here, there are a lot of them around, some of which I recognize including one of Marcus's girlfriends. Whoops. Anyways, we all visited a tavern and had a nice cooked meal before looking around for whoever was in charge. Turns out they were looking for us to find out why a non-merchant airship had shown up and landed in their only dock. We introduced ourselves and got signed on for the campaign. The pay is good and the city is in much better condition than Winterfield was, no siege and open trade lanes with Aeinfield and Rosenbridge by road and river and Ashvale by airship. I still get the feeling in the back of my mind that we're going to get stiffed like in Winterfield, but we made out pretty well afterwards considering.

==Journal Entry 312==

We've been moved in with the mercenary corps. A big series of tents on the south side of the city. There's about five thousand or so here I believe, most of them Wolflake refugees. Quite a lot of Orcs, goblins, wild elves and some shifters mixed with random adventurers and sellswords. No standardized gear for us. We have to supply everything but tents, beds and meals. I have noticed that even the guard are now using primitive stirrups on their horses. Looks like someone was quick to recognize their usefulness and copied them. I hung around with Ian and Jason and watched the militia training with them, using cavalry charges with long spears and horse back archers. I hope they realize that the arrows aren't going to stop the undead unless they're going to have them all blessed. Speaking of that, Avery ran off to the local sunchurch branch and has been doing her thing. From what I've felt, they're not as bad as the Aeyllin or Wolflake branch were apparently, but needed work according to her thoughts. I don't know why she feels the need to do this though. Last I heard, the gods of this place don't really care what you do in their name. Maybe she's hoping to change that, or maybe she already has.

==Journal Entry 313==

Still no orders. So I took the day off and decided to look into the history of this town to see if it held any clues. We already know one Terran did settle down here eventually. I can see why, it's a nice place. Well, after some questioning some officials, the older records were stored in the knowledge god's church, in its library. I went with Marcus, Alex and Jason and with some skill, talked our way in. Their library was a bit underwhelming. Mostly city documents, old legal proceedings and census data, some history. We donated a copy of our Earth book and spent the rest of the day researching what was here. From what we gathered, 400 years ago, there were several big wars going on. Humans seized control of Wolflake from the Orcs and Dwarves, A kingdom that used to border Winterfield was destroyed, sending it's refugees to Aeyllin. The trade routes apparently didn't exist back then, kingdoms were forced to be self sufficient, wars were happening all over. Then something changed. It started with sudden organization of religious cults into churches and the deployment of several “super weapons” by them. Aeyllin wasn't the only city to have a cannon, Hebiry had one as well. According to the documents, it was later stolen and never seen again a century later. No one knew how to build another one or even make the powder to make it work anyways so no one bothered investigating. It looks like the last group did deploy weapons, they just kept the knowledge of how to reproduce them to themselves unlike what we've been doing. Maybe it's time.

==Journal Entry 314==

We finally got our marching orders. The mercenary corps leading the way for the militia in a long hard march down the trade road and into Wolflake. It took two days before we exited the valley. Since we have to move with the corps, we had our pilot fly the Hind to meet us at the forts we stayed the night at. We're using the ship as a scout right now, performing wide concentric circles and keeping an eye out for undead. Only a few small groups have been encountered, often wandering aimlessly until they spotted us. We've been cremating the bodies after we manage to make them stop moving. The militia has a large portable crematory just for the occasion. I think it's a little elaborate but as long as I'm not the one pulling it. In other news, the mp3 golem is following us. It's been playing Highway to Hell the entire time. The troops were spooked for awhile but then took it as a divine sign of assured victory.

==Journal Entry 315==

I got a good look at our forces today. According to the General, we have around twenty thousand troops including the mercenary corps and twice that in support. We have troops borrowed from Rosenbridge, Wildlake, Aeinfield and Czebron as well as all the refugee tribes of Wolflake. I've never seen anything like it, not this big. Anyways, ran into the old Orc High commander and we talked. I told him of our time in Winterfield and he told me what happened after they left. The undead kept out of the tribal territory for a month or so, then suddenly swarmed in over night. Tribes on the borders were wiped out. By the time they got their army back together, it wasn't big enough to deal with the problem. Their explosives alchemist died trying to build a massive bomb to slow down the coming tide. Eventually they were forced to leave the kingdom and moved into Hebiry which took them in as long as they followed the laws and earned their food. When the call for mercenaries was sent, the remnants of the tribal army joined in to continue the fight. Unfortunately, they still don't see that we should have pushed the attack when we had a chance last year. Maybe I'm just bitter about it.

==Journal Entry 316==

Our airship has spotted a large undead force about a day away. Of course they'll be marching through the night so we're moving to a spot where we should be able to meet them come morning. The General wants to use a modified phalanx, with the front lines armed with chopping weapons while the back line tries to keep the undead pinned with spears. He's also throwing spellslingers into what amounts to small testudo formations. The rest of us that aren't cavalry are being thrown in skirmishing groups under their own control. I'm putting Alex, Mike and Max into the airship and they're going to strafe overhead with their area spells when they can. Once the battle gets too messy, they're going to come down and start laying down their smaller spells and defenses. We have whole teams of clerics, paladins and battle priests who will be lending their assistance in any way possible. Avery is off with them, leading her own team. I wish her the best of luck.

==Journal Entry 317==

We got fucked. I should have seen it coming. So the undead arrive at first light. We're all ready for them too. The undead army had at least doubled in size since night fell. It looked like they were matching our numbers. It started well. The undead army looked to be mostly zombies in old beat up Wolflake militia armor. Jason said he saw a few living in the very back, probably the necromancers controlling the force. Our spell slingers opened with their volley. The Hind did an overhead strafe, raining down fireballs and burning clouds. The undead charged in, a massive horde wave and crashed against the phalanxes. Skirmishers moved in and out. We were starting to take heavy losses. My abilities were of little use against the undead so I tried hitting the necromancers in the rear while trying to push back the undead with my sword. The pistol wasn't of much use against the undead either. They kept coming, even without their heads. Twenty minutes into the fight, Avery suddenly goes supernova in the middle of the battlefield. I'm not sure what happened but she got pushed, so she pushed back with everything. The entire field ignited, everything dead burst into holy flames while us living were blinded. That's when it went wrong. The entire battlefield fell into a sinkhole. A sinkhole full of skeletons at least ten feet deep. I don't know how it happened. Avery's light vanished amidst the chaos. All I know after that, I was told from the guys in the Hind, I was knocked out. They saw her surrounded by necromancers amidst all the chaos, performing some kind of ritual. Alex and Max went ballistic and managed to blast the shit out of them from above. I came to hours later outside of a cave with the survivors. Apparently the old dwarf mines run all over the place under the Wolflake plains. The skeletons must have dug out the battlefield from under us. Jason managed to keep his footing and went around dragging us out and with the rest of the surviving militia and mercenaries through some mine shafts while the undead finished off anyone who stayed behind. I think I suffered a concussion but a surviving cleric's dealt with it. All of us Terrans seem to be okay except Avery is still out of it. We're not sure what they did with her or if we stopped them in time. The surviving army is withdrawing to south of Wolflake and we're hoping we can avoid the undead while we recover.

==Journal Entry 318==

Avery is back on her feet. She's feeling okay and nothing seems off except that she can't manifest her divine spells anymore. We've all been trying to comfort her but I can see it from her perspective, kind of. She had something more going on that I just don't have the context to describe and now it's gone. I suggested that she returned to Hebiry for a few days but she won't leave. She wants to be here by our sides, even if she, in her words, has been crippled. Of the great Hebiry army, only half of us remain. I think that it's safe to assume that the rest have been absorbed into the Wolflake forces. The General is gone and we're under control of one of his subordinates. We're working out a plan of attack. I've informed our new commander of the explosives we can make. We still have one ton of ingredients on the Hind. We just need to know how they want it used. I brought in the old Orc High Commander and he told his experience with our blast powder. I told him we could make big bombs or grenades. He wants grenades. We just need containers. He's written up the request and the Hind has flown back to Hebiry with Mike and Jason to get the chemicals mixed and start production while the city starts gathering as much of the ingredients as they can to produce more. In the meantime, we're going to start moving westward and we're going to watch our steps.

==Journal Entry 319==

Hebiry is under siege. The undead started pouring out of caves in the valley along the Hebiry-Wolflake trade road, often coming up behind the guard outposts that had been set up. If we had pulled a retreat after our first battle, we could have been cut off and finished. The news was delivered this morning from the Hind. Our commander wants to push the fight now, deciding that the undead are distracted with the siege and wants to head straight for the capital and cut off the head of the serpent. We're on the march. We should arrive within sight in two days. I'm sending the Hind to scout out ahead of us, report back and then return to Hebiry. If production is stable, we should get our grenade shipment by tomorrow from the sounds of it. I've been spending more time with Avery. She needs the comfort. So far she's squared her shoulders and has been acting like nothing's wrong, but she's emotionally distraught. Like part of her was cut away. I'll see if I can help hold up that part for her until she can do it on her own again.

==Journal Entry 320==

While waiting for the Hind to show, I was discussing the hit with the commander. He's none too thrilled that he doesn't have direct control over it but won't outright say it. So he's asking me it's carrying capacity and all of that when suddenly the Rheingraf spymaster, having apparently escaped the University, appears and stabs this guy standing next to me three times. Jason's on the Hind, so he can't help. The commanders guards finally realize what's happening and tackle the guy to the ground and gut him. He vanishes. I look down at the guy he stabbed wondering why him when I realize that it's me. I had detached and was watching myself bleed to death on the ground. I didn't feel anything. One of the camp clerics made it in time and manages to heal the wounds and has me moved to one of the recovery tents because I'm not waking up. I realize that no one could see me and that realization suddenly made me visible. Everyone panics, thinks a ghost is attacking. Marcus realizes what's happening and manages to calm everyone down. A few minutes later, after some effort, I reattach and wake up in my body feeling weak and sore. What the fuck? Anyways, we got our grenades from the Hind and we did a demonstration of how to use them and how dangerous they were.

==Journal Entry 321==

We're a day away from the capital. I ordered the Hind to do a flyby of the city and report back. Well, they never managed to get over the city. They brought back photos. There's some thing standing in the middle of the city. We estimate that it's at least 150 feet tall and human shaped. It's partially transparent. It has gray skin and in every single photo, no matter the angle, its face was blurred out like a digital effect was used. They said it was standing stock still. We're going to hold position for 24 hours or until we can figure out what we're up against, whichever comes first. I've never seen anything like it and neither has anyone else in the camp. Anyways, I've taken to meditating again during our nights. Avery's joined with me, trying to make contact with her divine magic. She keeps saying that she can almost feel it, that it's just out of reach. In other news, even with all that's gone on, Mike and his like talented girlfriend have gotten ever closer together and Mike's starting to think of popping the question. It's on his mind constantly. Mike, if you read my journal anytime soon, she's going to say yes.

==Journal Entry 322==

It's all about to start. Whatever that thing is, we're going to take it down. We can see it towering over the city walls in the distance. Its face is blurred out. When I stare at it for too long, it's like I can hear an all consuming emptiness in my head that's threatening to pull me in. The clerics and paladins have gotten together and held a discussion and some prayers and think that it's a “divine shell.” Something that the god of undeath can be summoned into so he can manifest upon the world, something that deities apparently can't do here on their own. Direct intervention. No avatars, no mortals to work through, totally hands on. The commander realizes how dangerous this is and we're the only force out here. We're going forward with the attack and we are going to go to the bitter end. We begin the siege within the hour. Soon as we begin, I'm going to have the Hind, loaded with spell slingers, go over the wall and burn down the noble's district with everything they got, and then start attacking the shell while the ground forces try and penetrate the main gate. Then we put an end to this nonsense. While I write this, the mp3 golem is running around the camp playing “For Whom the Bell Tolls.” It's not helping my mood.

==Journal Entry 323==

The attack began. We moved in for the city gate, guarded by at least a few thousand undead. Our archers, now grenadiers, started the attack with a bombardment of the new grenades which tore them apart. The paladins led the charge and we moved in to destroy them. While this was happening, the Hind began its attack on the Noble's district. We loaded its deck with as many casters as it could hold. I wish I could have seen it in action, I can only imagine. I was, instead, on the ground battling the undead. We managed to put the defensive force down and started tearing at the main city gates until we broke through. The city beyond wasn't so much a city anymore. Everything was in ruin and of course, there were more undead to deal with. They came at us tirelessly for hours, trying to push us out while we pushed back and repositioned. Avery was holding up well. Even with no divine power, she was tearing the enemy apart with her mace, shattering bones and skulls as they came at her. Then it started. Two hours in, Avery suddenly recoiled back. By the time I got to her, she had recovered. She told me that she had done it and just like that, her holy aura lit up again except it was blue instead of the old sunny yellow. Four exhausting hours later, the undead stopped their push and started pulling back for the castle. We all took some time to regain our breath. The Hind had completed its mission, the Noble's district was a burning ruin. Not a single building was left standing aside from the castle, which seemed impervious to the spells being thrown at it. The Hind then tried attacking the giant figure, but spells were passing through it. With our way clear, our clerics and paladins tried tossing their holy spells at it but nothing was happening. It's like it's not here yet. We're taking a short break and then we're going to go sack the castle. Maybe putting down the necromancers will make that thing go away. Avery is in good spirits again with her divine power renewed. No one suffered an injury that couldn't be healed by the clerics. Broken bones, cuts and bruises but no dismemberment thank god.

==Journal Entry 324==

We entered the Noble's district. Any surviving nobles or staff seen trying to escape the district were captured, interrogated and executed. I found out why this happened. The king was a lich. Over time he converted the other noble families into various other undead loyal to him. He had subverted higher up members of the local churches and guilds as well. When the Orc forces started winning the battles, the king started losing it and started all of this just to keep his seat of power. To keep his crown, he turned the kingdom into the land of the undead, had all his subjects killed and made into a form more loyal to him. By the time we got to the castle, the undead had formed a defensive wall. We began our attack on the castle. The Hind did an opening strafing run on the wall of undead blocking the entrance with what spells the casters could put out followed by a grenade bombardment. Then we went in. Avery unexpectedly led the charge, inspiring the paladins and clerics right behind her. She did her supernova trick, though rather than burn, the undead were physically pushed back while the living, well we felt like nothing could stop us, an emotional reinforcement of some kind. It helped. We tore apart the undead and pressed into the castle and began clearing it floor by floor. The first floor only had a few wandering undead. The force started splitting up to cover as much of the castle as possible. Us Terrans stuck together of course. After the first floor, we started running into the necromancers. Something I can affect. Any that we came across was dead before they could toss their first spell. I learned of their magic traps from their mind and Jason disabled them somehow. We eventually made it to the throne room and met up with the other soldiers. The doors all had some magic forcefield over them. With most of our casters on the Hind, dispelling them wasn't an option, so we improvised. We called up the grenadiers and rigged up a bomb. It wasn't enough to outright destroy the wall, but it shattered the stone enough that we could break through with the brute force of some of the stronger soldiers with us. Then we flooded into the throne room. It was probably a bad idea. The king/lich was in some ceremony circle surrounded by unmoving necromancers, or maybe they were undeath clerics? Whatever. He didn't say a thing. No monologue, no death threats. He just unleashed his greatest spells and just tore us apart as fast as we could come in. All of us except the clerics and paladins. They were fighting back with their divine spells, burning him, but they were falling one at a time. I couldn't touch the mind of the lich, but I could tear through the necromancers around him. They weren't even all there anymore, puppets, but they did have memories. I found where his phylactery was. His crown. The idiot was wearing it. I told Avery but she couldn't move to act on it. And the rest of us were dead and dying. Then just like that, the mp3 golem wandered in and started blasting “Love Shack.” It distracted the Lich enough for Avery to lash out and shatter his crown with her mace. The rest of the surviving clerics and paladins pounced for the kill but were blown back when he lit up like an evil beacon, killing his circle of necromancers. I think he had a hold of the undeath gods attention. The only thing keeping us from burning alive was Avery's own holy aura. They were tossing their spells at each other. Then Avery looked back at me and said goodbye, that it was time. The lich shrieked and vanished except for his shadow burned in the wall. Then Avery simply vanished along with the entire roof of the castle. Our wounds were gone, the dying were alive and well again. She's gone.

==Journal Entry 325==

It's been a few days since the battle of Wolflake. We're still occupying the city and have been collecting the corpses and cremating them, looting any houses for surviving food or gear that the army can use. In a day or so, we're going to march back and deal with the siege on Hebiry which is still going on. As for the godshell, it's still here, but it has since turned to stone, possibly marble. We're going to attempt to pull it over using the Hind and some chains. It should be spectacular, and hopefully not in the airship exploding spectacular. As for Avery, I've been avoiding the issue. I don't know what happened but I touched her mind as she vanished. I can't explain what I saw there but she was happy. I don't know if I'll ever see her again but I miss her.

>Don't worry, we'll meet again one day, when it's time. I'll even save you a seat.

==Journal Entry 326==

We're on the march back for Hebiry along the trade road. We should be there in three days. If the undead are still attacking, there must be some necromancers involved still. With the Hind, we have regular contact with the city at least and a steady stream of supplies. I don't know what's going to happen with Wolflake. There are still mindless undead wandering around here and there, and the whole area has this creepy vibe to it. I “overheard” some of the clerics talking and they're pretty sure that if the area is left as is, it's going to just turn into a giant undead swamp. Maybe when the tribals return, they can clean it up. Knowing the region's past though? Everyone is probably going to swarm in and more wars will follow. The whole place is fucking cursed. Everyone wants it and there's nothing here worth holding on to. It's not even in a tactically viable location, and with the advent of cargo airships, land routes aren't as important. Well, whatever. It's land, I guess that's good enough. In other news, Marcus is working on an epic ballad about the battle of Wolflake. If anything is going to make his name famous, it's that. I hope he doesn't botch it.

==Journal Entry 327==

We've set up camp in one of the guard outposts along the trade route for the night. With any luck, we should end this war tomorrow when we put down the remnants of the undead army sieging Hebiry. We've run out of grenades but more are being made in the city. The Hind should deliver a new batch in the morning before we leave. They work very well at blowing apart the undead, especially the ones that have been blessed. Mike's girlfriend has been trying to fill the gap that Avery left behind. It's not going to work out. Sure, she's a nice girl and she tries, but she's no Terran, she doesn't understand most of what we're talking about. Also what she does is the opposite of what Avery did. At least she makes Mike happy.

==Journal Entry 328==

We made a hard march and came to the rear flank of the remaining undead force. We had the Hind do a low aerial spellcaster bombardment followed by grenades from both our forces and those on the Hebiry wall. We then marched in to clean up the rest of the enemy. The fight was messy. Most of the undead and their unliving siege engines were shattered or in pieces and we had to deal with loose limbs and torsos flopping around the battlefield. We managed to put them down after a few hours work. We couldn't find the controlling necromancers right away but managed to track them to a cave after nightfall, their campfire illumination gave them away. They surrendered rather than put up a fight. They are currently being hanged by order of command. After all of this, I can't blame them. I picked at their minds for anything of interest. They were people who found no comfort among the living, either by choice or environment. The problem is that they went too far and never realized it. Now they're paying the price. Us Terrans could very well overstep the line in the same way in our arrogance. I'll have to be careful.

==Journal Entry 329==

The celebration has turned into a full blown festival. Wine, music, food, plays and dancing. Marcus is doing his stage performance. He finished his war ballad and it's been pretty popular so far. Mike and his girl ran off on their own, possibly to summon demons. Austin, Max and Jason got lucky. We all were having a relatively good time. Well, they were. I was having a hard time getting into it, what with another of our numbers gone; even if Avery wasn't killed, she's no longer with us. Rather than sit and mope, I dropped the barriers and let the celebration consume me. Most of it is a blur and I still have this hangover, but I woke up with most of my clothes missing and another tattoo on my other arm. It's the radiation symbol. What the fuck? To make matters worse, people keep giving me odd looks of recognition. The others won't talk about it but get a bemused expression. There's going to be some mindrape soon if I don't get answers.

==Journal Entry 330==

Apparently after challenging some dwarves to a drinking contest, I went on stage and told the tale known back home as “Big Trouble in Little China.” The kids loved it. New rule. No more opening the gates at a celebration. Anyways. The refugees have started returning to Wolflake. We're going to hang around town a few more days and if nothing else is going on, return to Aeyllin. We have gotten our mercenary pay and have been discharged from the war. For the moment, the continent is at peace until at least tomorrow when the city is expecting a congress of local kingdoms who will decide the fate of Wolflake. All that remain of that kingdom are peasants and tribals. It'd be nice if they gave the area to the tribals but I doubt that's going to happen. They like men in castles wearing crowns to be in control, not Orcs in furs or wild-elves wearing whatever they woke up laying in. It's a political situation that hasn't occurred in centuries. We may stick around just to see what goes on. In the meantime, the Hind is shuttling passengers back and forth between here, Rosenbridge and Aeinfield and making a nice tidy profit.

==Journal Entry 331==

Jason comes and grabs me out of bed all excited about something. It's barely sunup and he's pushing me to a window and pointing up into the air above the city. I don't see a damn thing except blinding sunlight. After he manages to calm down and I manage to wake up some, he explains. He sees an airship hovering above town. No one else does. I'm willing to take his word for it. I tried reading out and sure enough, I can detect thought floating above the city, at least 15 people. Some kind of invisibility spell I'm guessing. I didn't detect hostility so I figured it belonged to one of the representatives and they were just checking things out before landing. I put the incident out of my mind and went and had breakfast. A few hours later, it's still there. I ended up grabbing Jason and headed over to the Hind to inform our pilot, Marika, of it so she doesn't have the worlds first midair collision when she takes off for a trading run. Then he showed up. An unassuming sun priest with a staff. He wandered over and started asking questions. Who owned this airship, who made it, who made the modifications and so on. I may have figured the guy as just a curious priest with an interest for airships except that his staff looked suspiciously like a long rifle with a sun church symbol sticking out of the barrel. Jason noticed too from the sudden change of his stance. He had a very guarded mind, enough so that I couldn't have dived in without him noticing and resisting. So I made myself clear. I drew my pistol on him. Most people here wouldn't know what it was. I saw recognition in his eyes. Before I could make my demand of him, to explain himself, he fired off some blinding light. By the time I recovered he was gone and Jason said the airship was starting to pull away, heading north. I'd have had the Hind give chase if we were all here, but we're scattered around town. We're going to resupply and head off after them.

==Journal Entry 332==

We're loaded with supplies and hauling ass Northward, the general direction Jason saw the other airship go. This might be a wild goose chase since only Jason can see it and we don't have a way to track it. According to the map, if it continued in this direction, it should pass near Eridale. Austin seems to think that airships might leave a magic emission trail behind them and is working below decks into making some kind of magic tracking lens. If we don't see anything by the time we reach Eridale's boarders, we're going to turn around and head back, probably just return to Aeyllin. In other news, winter is coming. This brings about problems such as how to stay warm on an airship, how to heat the below decks without starting an uncontrollable fire and dealing with ice buildup on deck. Speaking of that, I think we're at or near our second year anniversary here. We've come a long way baby.

==Journal Entry 333==

We made it to Eridale, best known for its Guardocracy and ticketing a horse because of its shoes. We arrived around midnight and landed outside the city limits due to their stupid laws for the night. Austin finished his tracking lens. It's a small circular lens he connected to a frame so it can be worn over an eye. While looking through it, airships leave behind a colored trail based on the specific spells used for their propulsion. The Hind's are green. We don't see any others in the area which means we lost the trail. We're not even going to bother to visit this hellhole, we're just going to take off come morning and head for Aeyllin. It should be a three day ride and if we have any problems, we'll be passing near Wildlake and New Chicago. Jason has become our official backup pilot and flies the nightshift because of his eye. We drew straws and I am next in line to learn how to fly this thing followed by Alex. So my days now begin with me hanging out near our lovely pilot. I hope Jason doesn't get jealous.

==Journal Entry 334==

Flying an airship isn't that difficult, you know, until you want to turn or anything. I don't suppose it helps that our airship has all these extra controls for the flaps, ailerons and canards that Austin installed. The most difficult part though? Standing in one spot all day. Yeah, that's real fun. I have our pilot looking over my shoulder the whole time, which to be honest, I really need. One wrong move and we crash and burn. Speaking of crashing and burning, our mains went out. Austin got them up while the auxiliaries did their job. That's two times those things have saved our asses so far. After our pilot took over, we broke out my kindle and we all watched Strange Days. It's been a while. Marcus started joking that he had been thinking of how to convert the movie into a play for a while now. We egged him on for a while about doing it but he doesn't want to be a theater writer, just a bard. A bard married to a dragon. A dragon with her hands in his pockets, and only for the money that's in them. At least that's how I see it. I know they love each other and all of that, it's just that she needs to learn her place amongst us. It certainly isn't overlord, that's for damned sure.

==Journal Entry 335==

We passed over New Chicago today. I snapped some photos from the air as we passed overhead. It looks like the kobolds got two more buildings up and their farms look to be in respectable shape. Good for them. Hopefully they'll pack enough food for the coming winter. Maybe in a decade or two, Aeyllin will have kobold adventurers checking into the University. Anyways, we landed in Aeyllin just before nightfall. Marcus ran off to see his wife while the rest of us checked into the inn. While unpacking the airship, I found Avery's laptop. I decided to go through it. We knew what technical info she already had, and we had been through her music. I found detailed documentation on her condition as a cleric: what it was like to touch the divine, to call forth a spell, the auras and all of that. Almost as if she was trying to logically delineate the divine. I'm sure the University would love to see some of this. Then there were detailed documents of the sun church's organization, what history she managed to pick up, tenets and prayers. I still don't know what happened to her or where she went, but I know she is watching over us from wherever that place is.

==Journal Entry 336==

I paid a visit to the sun church today. They deserved to know what happened. I told them all, everything. I even showed a few of them that wanted to see. When I left, they were all in prayer. Some of them believe that she's ascended to her own divine throne, others think she's now the right hand of the sun god while a few think she simply died. Maybe they'll get their answers from their god. Anyways, I dropped off some things at the University when Raina showed up. She invented an interest rate based on how long Marcus is away from home combined with how dangerous the adventure is. What does she even need all this money for anyways? She's already living better than the average person in this city, which is already more advanced than most cities out there! They have bikes and sewers for fuck's sake. So my options were clear. Erase my existence from her mind, punch her or we go somewhere nice and have a long talk. The first two options would have been the most satisfying. Oh, so satisfying. Instead, we went and had a nice talk at the cafe with some coffee. There was snarling involved. The dragon perspective is an odd one. They love their wealth and wealth isn't always money or jewels. Once she had figured out what we were, she decided that us Terrans were part of her treasure hoard, and that lately, we weren't working hard enough to make her money pile even bigger. Her naive expectations were that we'd be throwing fist fulls of money at her, joyful to have a dragon in our midst because she's a dragon while she protects us from the world with her dragonness. She didn't take my rebuke well. I'm probably going to get a visit from Marcus in an hour or so about it. Fucking dragons.

==Journal Entry 337==

We had a cold front come in today. I had to pay a visit to the market to buy some winter clothes to deal with it. Anyways, hung out at the University with Jason and Austin. The master artificer managed to build a miniature steam train that runs a ring around the campus. It looks like those kiddy rides you'd find at a big mall around Christmas except it has a small chance of exploding, sending boiling hot water and steam everywhere. He assures us that it's not likely to happen, but that's what they say about airship engines failing. Now that we have a working prototype, he's trying to sell the idea to the quarry owners and the new department of transportation in the city that was founded recently to deal with all the bikes. Aside from that, he also has two working printing presses with movable type. One is for actual use, the other, he's trying to make work by voice command but is having trouble with grammar and dialects. Short of inventing a magical computer of some kind, he's probably not going to succeed at it. While we were there, Austin got a letter from our favorite shifter airship captain. The Celestial Rose's repairs had been completed while we off fighting a war and Austin has been requested to trick it out for a tidy profit. Maybe after all of that, we can have a racing rematch and we can kick his ass again.

==Journal Entry 338==

We got our own place finally! It was an old two story inn that closed down recently, which should suit our space requirements. We did a thorough check of the structure, made sure it wasn't about to collapse, made sure it wasn't haunted, made sure it had the resources we need like its own sewer and well access before we bought it. We're in the process of moving in and cleaning it up. Austin is making some magic lighting for the rooms and Jason, Mike and Max are out picking up some furniture. I'm on cleaning duty with the rest. We have finally accepted Mike's warlock girlfriend, Cherri, into our little group and she's helping out. Once we get the place cleaned up, we're going to see if we can't invent indoor plumbing, or at least a magic variant. In other news, the Hind is running cargo between Aeyllin and Brightly again. Raina wanted to start micromanaging our side shipping business but I don't trust her with our money. Sure, she wouldn't outright steal, she'd come up with silly dragon taxes or flying reptile interest rates instead.

==Journal Entry 339==

So I got up this morning, and I'm feeling really good and happen to be the first one up so I decided to make breakfast for everyone. Oatmeal porridge with cinnamon and blueberry preserves. Jason comes down and just gives me the weirdest look, the shakes his head and takes a bowl. I figure because it's the fact that I'm making food. Typically Alex, Ian or Marcus do the cooking. The others start coming down and they're giving me weird looks too. Then I realize that I left my body upstairs. I had been detached the whole time. Apparently I can pick up stuff now when I'm detached. I'm going to have to keep an eye on this. How could I not notice? Anyways, Marcus talked me into babysitting little Nathan while they run off and have a romantic evening together. What do dragons consider romantic? Swimming in money Uncle Scrooge style? Anyways, the baby's been good. Raina's kept him shape shifted in his half-elf form this whole time. God knows what he really looks like. He's been good, not that he has a choice with me keeping his mind from wanting to make a fuss. Ah yes, Psions make the best babysitters.

==Journal Entry 340==

Jason comes running into the house and drags me outside by force and points in the sky. The invisible airship is over Aeyllin. The Hind is out of town. We grab Alex, Cherri and Ian and beeline for the sun church. Nope, no strange priests there, so we make for the university. Sure enough, there's that asshole with the long rifle watching the steam train ring around the campus. I didn't even give him a chance. I mindlocked him soon as he was in range. He put up a fight but fuck that noise, I hit him with enough juice that I lit my hair on fire. After putting out the flames, we dragged him inside for a nice little chat without words. Well, he is in fact a priest of the sun church, but from a branch from a mostly isolated foreign city across the desert. It's his job to go around on their invisible airship and keep tabs on technological growth. He's the one that sent the cannon ingredients to Wolflake, he gave Winterfield plans for the mortar and was going to deliver cannon plans to Hebiry, but we ended the war before he could. He does it to keep established civilized cities civilized. After the situation was resolved, he was going to return a few months later and erase that knowledge. He came here to look into sudden technological developments and limit their growth by force if need be. He also knows what we are. Before I could get more out of him, he up and vanished, Spymaster style. Jason ran outside and sure enough, the invisible airship was leaving. Well, soon as the Hind returns, we'll go pay him a visit. I know where he lives now.

==Journal Entry 341==

The Hind is back in town. We're picking up supplies and we're going to head out to Manden and then the desert. We're making sure to pack plenty of water and we're bringing enough ingredients to make one ton of black powder and several containers to put it in. Raina has demanded to come along this time and she's bringing the baby. She doesn't care how dangerous this could be, she's tired of sitting home while we go gallivanting around the continent. I bet she's just worried that we'll find mountains of gold in the desert and not tell her. Austin is bringing a load of artificing gear, he's planning on working on a ship cloak on the way. See how they like having an invisible airship hovering above their city. So what do we know about this desert city? Very little. It does little trade with the outside world, mainly due to the difficulty getting there. It must be self sufficient to manage this. Getting there, even for us is going to be some trouble. My map doesn't cover that part of the continent, all I know are from memories I ripped out of that priest and that's mostly landmarks and a general direction. We should be alright though. If all else fails, we have Raina to comfort us.

==Journal Entry 342==

We're in the air. It started snowing soon as we lifted off. I was on first pilot duty. Piloting an airship in the snow sucks. By the time my shift was up and I went below decks, all my facial hair was iced. The deck is getting iced up pretty bad too. If I recall, the way they do it back home is the same way they do it here. Clubs and brooms. We should be in Manden by tomorrow and we can take a break to defrost the ship if it doesn't warm up by then. In the meantime, Jason brought a deck of cards with him he picked up in the market. They're all different from the cards back home, almost more like tarot cards, but we're trying to adapt them into a game of poker. Our first few games ended hilariously and we're not sure who won. Cherri has decided to teach us how to play the game the cards are used for. It's similar to blackjack except the face cards have a value based on the person sitting next to you and you're trying to reach two hundred instead of twenty one. It was a good time sink I guess.

==Journal Entry 343==

We made Manden and their airship was hogging up their only air dock, so we had to use our landing struts. Well, what a surprise, our landing struts were stuck. A few of us had to rope down out of the ship and unfreeze them so they could lower properly. The good news is that the snow stopped finally, but it's still cold. We're spending the night at the Inn and leaving in the morning. I checked around the market for any deals on dwarven made goods and picked up a new short sword for a pretty good deal. So a few things about those memories I tore out of the priest have been bothering me. Clearly, they're keeping hold on technology and keeping it to themselves but why? They're isolationists. Or is that the reason why, to keep the rest of the world from bothering them? How long has that city been out there, was it from the last group of Terrans or ones before that? While I was in the market, I checked around for anything on the city across the desert. Well, apparently every now and then, someone in the merchant guild gets it in his head that he'll make a fortune starting a trade route out there only to find out that they don't want any of their produced goods and ends up losing most of his fortune. It's become kind of a merchant guild morality story for your reach exceeding your grasp and knowing your customer base.

==Journal Entry 344==

Clear skies as far as the eye can see. A bit chilly but great airship weather. So we're over the desert and hauling ass when Ian comes up from below, takes a good look and asks where the mountains are. Well, the nearest mountain is Czebron and the dwarven range to the southwest a few days, otherwise, the landscape looks pretty flat aside from the occasional dunes. Ian starts throwing a fit saying that the landscape doesn't make sense, that there should be a lot of mountains around to keep rainclouds out of the area, otherwise the area should be plains or a forest. I'm not entirely sure what he was going on about but it summed up that he thought the area wasn't quite right. I don't know deserts, I used to live near the ocean. In other news, the mp3 golem is apparently on the ship. I haven’t heard from it since the battle of Wolflake but I hear Celine Dion coming from somewhere. That little bitch. Wait, that used to be Mike's player, why did he have Celine Dion? I'm going to have to have a talk with him.

==Journal Entry 345==

We found an oasis today and made a short stop to replenish our water supplies. I'm not sure how much longer we have to go, but it can't hurt to be prepared. We did find the remains of an old wagon nearby, it looks like its wheels had shattered. Possibly remains of an old trade caravan. It didn't have anything of value. Max and Ian tore it apart and made it into a kind of marker. We all signed our names, the Earth date and the local date on it. Even Raina. She didn't quite get why we had her do it but chances are that she's still going to be alive when this thing's disintegrated. Maybe by then she'll have learned some manners. Speaking of the Earth date, if the last group of Terrans left around the time of the date stamp on the photos they left behind in their SDcard, they would have been portaled off into the past three days ago. I'd wish them the best of luck except well, we already have a general idea of how well they did.

==Journal Entry 346==

We found the last landmark that I've been looking for. A river. We were following it at a good clip. Typically you'd expect rivers to be surrounded by plantlife but not this one. You'd expect the sand to have consumed it otherwise but Jason says that it looks artificial, it's depth is too even. A few hours later, we spot it. A city in the distance. We engage Austin's “cloaking device” and go up in altitude. Marika takes the controls and we all go see what we can see. It's all enclosed. Aside from Czebron, this must be the largest city on the continent. It's designed like a layer cake, each level smaller than the one below with a massive tower in the center. There was no farm land around it. No plant life around it in fact. The only green was coming from inside the city, trees in open air parks, plants on balconies and so on. This may be an arcology. We counted five airships puttering around above it. These airships weren't designed like flying boats. They were all enclosed except for a small upper balcony. We have done several passes over the city, trying to get a good look at it, so far, we haven’t been detected. Or if we have, they haven’t done anything about it. We did spot something interesting. On the ground level, near the river, there was a large cement pad near one of the entrances with a typical air dock of the style seen in the other cities. Like they were expecting a standard airship to come out here one day. We're going to move back out of visual range and land for the night, head in during the day acting like traders and see what happens. We can pull it off, we even have the ton of ingredients in the hold.

==Journal Entry 347==

We did our best to hide our tech and went in for a landing at the city air dock. Some people came out to greet us dressed in simple clothes. Three of them were human, the rest elves. Elves that looked like they were the same subrace as the Rheingraf spymaster. They were casually armed with disguised long rifles and what looked like matchlock pistols tucked into their belts. We introduced ourselves as traders from Manden, braving the desert wastes to open a trade route and look at all the alchemy stuff we have. We found out what the name of the city is, New Paris, City of Light. Well, we know who founded it now. I didn't detect anything distrustful of them, though they were considering us peasant scum and weren't too pleased that we arrived in an airship. We told them that this was a merchant guild expedition and that they were waiting for our return, successful or not. They called out one of their merchants, a sun cleric. He looked over our ingredients, shrugged and said we had nothing he wanted. He did take an interest in our airship though, started asking questions about it while we casually prodded him for information. Why was a sun church cleric acting as a merchant? Well apparently the sun church runs things in the city of light; it's considered the holy capital of the church except apparently only a handful of people across the desert even know it exists. We were invited in to see if they had anything we had wanted to buy. He led us to what I'm pretty sure was the city garbage dump. Old pieces of equipment, rusted, junked, old clothes and so on. We picked through it for a few minutes, pretending to be interested but ultimately turned him down. We asked if we could stay in the city for a few days, we had traveled a long way and needed some rest. He considered for a few minutes before agreeing. We made our way into the city. It wasn't as advanced as I had figured. It looked like Aeyllin in maybe 20 years if they embraced everything we threw at them. It's all an eclectic mix of magic, technology and medieval design ideals with some early steam punk mixed in maybe? We're held up for the night in an apartment near the city exit with a bunch of cots our guide had brought in. We have running water, bathroom facilities with sewage access and what he called a food tube. It distributes a mint flavored paste with the consistency of mashed potatoes that the locals apparently eat. It was horrible. It better not be processed dead people. Our guide made it clear that he doesn't want us wandering the city. His reasoning was that we didn't know the laws and didn't want us getting in trouble or hurting ourselves. How nice. Jason's going to sneak out soon and take a good look around.

==Journal Entry 348==

Well, while Jason was out, a certain sun priest bursts into our room with guards, points at us dramatically and yells “Terrans!” If we had Avery with us, we'd have fought back, but none of us want to deal with the long term effects of musket wounds, plus we have a baby with us. So we have been taken prisoner. We were taken through the city to another area that more or less had the same facilities as the last room, just with bars on the door. They sorted through our gear and ran off with our tech and then the questioning began. They brought in a psion interrogator, an elf. I volunteered first. He didn't expect it. He was trained to go through memories, carefully, like pages of a book while I was trained to mindrape and dominate. He started asking questions while starting his subtle mental penetration. He wanted to know how long we'd been here, what we had been doing, what technologies we had given out and so on. Instead, I grabbed him like a ragdoll and made him tell me everything without saying a word. This city was founded 800 years ago by Terrans and a local tribe of desert elves that worshiped the sun, but not the sungod. They believed that the Terrans came from the sun and worshiped them as well. They used their loyal population to start building this city. From what I gather, they were trying to make this the center of learning and keep it isolated enough to stay out of the wars. We may be looking at the future of Aeyllin here. The locals are descendents of Terrans, the tribals and adventurers that made the journey here. When the last of the Terrans died, the influx of new ideas stopped dead and things stagnated until 400 years ago when some of that batch of Terrans made their way here to found a new sun church and try and bring the city out of its isolation. The locals still worshiped the sun and had no problem converting, but realized that these people were like their founders. Their knowledge was taken from them by force and they were used as breeding stock. Two hundred years ago, another group showed up and were immediately picked up by Parisian spies before they could make an impression on the world and followed the same fate as the others. They're planning on doing the same with us. Around the time the guards were starting to get suspicious, their necks exploded in a shower of blood. Jason had managed to find us and intercepted our stolen goods. I erased the interrogator's mind and we did a jail break. We're currently holed up in some guys apartment. I convinced him that we're relatives. He's incapable of acting against us right now. We're currently working out what we're going to do next.

==Journal Entry 349==

Jason, Marcus and I went out on recon. We put on some clothes that the apartment owner had, stripped his mind of local customs and we went out. Jason had something he spotted and wanted to take a better look at in the central hub of the city on his earlier tour. We found what appeared to be a museum. A museum of Earth tech behind glass. Most of it was broken or damaged in some way and had been sitting for centuries. Mp3 players, tablets, cellphones, guns with no ammo, other weapons. Simpler things like toothbrushes, bottles and wallets. Everything labeled and dated. Everything stolen from previous groups, technology they couldn't understand but were hoping to one day. I called the guard over and made him unlock some of the cases. We took what we deemed useful or repairable and left the rest. I erased the missing items from the guards mind so he wouldn't suspect, memories of seeing us as we left. We ended up with 2 smartphones of a type that wasn't made yet when we left, one pair of sunglasses, 2 pistols, A Walther p99 which may be able to use the same bullets as mine but needs desperate attention and a HK mk23 with no ammo and good old Mossberg shotgun with no ammo. We'll see if we can't fix that once we get out of this mess. Currently, Austin is trying to fix up the other 9mm pistol while we're having another meal of mint paste from the food tube. We're going to do another recon once the city enters its night cycle.

==Journal Entry 350==

Jason has the new pistol and it's got a full magazine. We don't know if Austin's maintenance worked. Not that we can test it without drawing a lot of attention. The city guards have taken notice of our shenanigans and have been doing regular patrols, warnings for strange people acting strangely and so on. We're being extra cautious. We took a tour of the lower sections of the city to find any faults, anything we can take advantage of but found nothing obvious. We're figuring that the best way to bring this city down is to sabotage various systems around like the food tube or the sewer system and water supply, but the place is too big to just destroy. We don't even know what their contingency plans are or if they even have any. Unleashing Raina would be an option, but I don't think she'd get far before they managed to put her down. If all else fails, we'll just start assassinating the leadership from the top down and hope they don't have regenerative capabilities like a certain spymaster.

==Journal Entry 351==

A few of us managed to get into the food processing center of the city where the paste crap is made. Well, it's not dead people but it's not a whole lot better. They're magically converting the sewage waste into ingredients that they then mechanically process and distribute through the food tube system. Sure, it's efficient and “green,” but I don't think I could ever get used to something like this. Whose idea was this anyways? We had brought Austin along with us on this expedition, leaving Marcus behind. There were some guards around the facility but I got them to fight each other using jealousy over a girlfriend that doesn't exist and we finished them off. Austin started tearing apart some equipment he figured would be difficult to replace. We then set everything on fire and quickly left. We had made it to the central hub with about a minute to spare before the guards came rushing in. There must be a silent alarm system somewhere if they responded that quickly.

==Journal Entry 352==

We had a guard come to the door today. I sent him away believing that nothing was wrong. They're doing door to door searches, level by level. We packed up and moved immediately. If anyone trained in memory examination takes a good look, they might see the changes. I've convinced the resident of this house that he is a freedom fighter and will deal with “the enemy” appropriately. We moved across town, moving as separate groups of no more than three until we scouted out a house and moved in. Another single individual who now thinks he's always lived with all of us and it's perfectly normal and most importantly, he's already been questioned and searched. From our earlier attack, the food tube system has shut down completely. The arcology criers have been announcing that it will be fixed soon and not to panic. They continue to look for us. Once we get settled, we'll continue our expeditions and sabotage.

==Journal Entry 353==

We made it into the water plant. It's set up at the top of the arcology and uses gravity for water distribution. Simple system. Water is created magically from thin air more or less. The guards up here were all sporting anti-telepathy headbands. I guess they caught on. That didn't stop us from killing them. Jason went in first, snuck up and murdered the shit out of one of the guards. The rest of us launched our attack. They couldn't get their guns up in time before we'd stab them. We kept one alive which I interrogated while Austin tore apart the water system. The city is relatively peaceful and the guards aren't used to dealing with terrorist attacks or adventurers. They're adapting but slowly. They were under the impression that we would all be naive and helpless. Maybe we would have been if we were brought here in the early days. Jason was collecting their weapons when he had a realization. All the guns are muzzle loaders. Sure enough, each guard had his own powder in a small belt pouch. I convinced the guard that he was on our side and that he had to kill anyone else trying to come into this room, even at cost of his life. For the cause. We left him with all muskets.

==Journal Entry 354==

I grabbed a book from the apartment we've been staying in and went, alone, to the floor above, went into that level's park and found a nice seat with a view. I ordered any passing person to hunt down and attack the nearest guard or government official one floor above this one or sabotage something important. I read the book in between all of this. Every now and then I would hear a gunshot or screaming and panic. I figured this was the easiest way to seed panic. They can't give out anti-psion headbands to everyone after all. I'm sure this has me sliding down that alignment scale again, I can almost feel Avery's disapproving look on my back. After four hours, I wrapped up and headed back to the apartment. While I was causing that distraction, Jason, Austin and Ian headed back into the food processing center and sabotaged their repair attempts and filled a few containers with food for use back at base since our supply was starting to run low.

==Journal Entry 355==

Our electronics detected a wifi signal. A few minutes later, there was knocking on the door. They found us. Those assholes developed some kind of a “Find wifi enabled devices” spell. There were about thirty of them outside. They demanded our surrender, promised that we wouldn't be hurt, that they wanted us in protective custody for the time being, that they wanted to talk. We didn't have much of a choice, not without undue risk. Jason shut off his ipod and hid with both working pistols while we took the house resident as one of us. We surrendered into their custody. We had our weapons taken from us and were all taken to one of the higher levels, a large atrium with a dinner table set up. We were told to have a seat. The guards stayed but kept their weapons ready. After a few minutes, three people came out in fancy dress. Two elves and one human. They were wearing those psion headbands of course. The elves stayed quiet but the human spoke. He was the son of one of the founding Terrans. He was one of the first born in this city and eventually became its immortal leader. We had a long talk over breakfast. Real food for a change.

His father and mother had been taken away in the Summer of 2017 and thrust into a situation we were all familiar with. There were 6 Terrans total. They had similar experiences, similar adventures and eventually made their way out here to deal with some great evil. The cause of the desert. The death of an evil avatar whose death blighted the region for hundreds of miles, turned it into a desert. They ran into the tribes and settled with them while they recovered and eventually were worshiped as gods. This group's ambition was to make each kingdom self sufficient to end the wars, but no one was listening. Here, they would listen, so they built New Paris. It took centuries to get to this point and it's still being built. From what I gather, this group never stepped down from their power, even after the population became civilized, they got used to the power they had. Understandable. Then they started dying, one at a time, of old age. Lucas declared himself the King, being the only one of the first generation born here that was “pure blooded” and continued building the city in the vision of his parents and their companions. When he got old, he had a ritual performed. He's a Lich of some type. He has some kind of sustaining magic keeping his body alive, or at least alive looking.

So where did it go wrong? He didn't have the knowledge. The city was built from the plans left behind and then no one knew what else to do, so they just lived there and developed an isolationist policy. A few centuries later, another group of Terrans, the church founders, arrived. They were welcomed but when they didn't dump everything, they were taken prisoner and mindraped by psions for everything. Advancement began. New ideas and new directions to take things, but those ran dry fast enough. They had the church infrastructure to take advantage of now, though, and used it to try and nudge the rest of the continent into developing for them, after which they'd jump on it and try and suppress it afterwards so that they would always stay ahead of the game. The rest of the continent is their R&D lab, but their methods are screwing them over in the long term. Then they lucked out and caught the next group of Terrans a few days after they arrived. I already noted how that turned out. They weren't given a chance. So, because we've “proven ourselves”, we have been given the option. We could serve under Lucas and live to advance this place, or he'll take it from us by force. I reached out to everyone and got consensus. I leaned forward and told Lucas that Raina was a dragon.

After she finished killing all of the guard, Raina had to withdraw from the fight through the Atrium glass roof. She had been injured from the gun fire and spells being shot off. She took the baby and Marika with her. We were launching everything at Lucas and he was fighting back hard. The entire section was starting to collapse. Jason showed up and shot the elven assistants from behind. They had been doing most of the shielding and counter-spelling. We put Lucas down after that. We didn't know where his phylactery was, but it was time to go. We managed to escape into one of the lower levels and have hidden in another apartment for now while we plan our next move. I'm not sure if Raina got out okay with the baby and Marika but she definitely earned her pay today.

==Journal Entry 356==

The city is in chaos right now. The atrium level has fully collapsed into the floor below it cutting off the upper levels, the guards are on high alert and outright shooting anyone that they think even looks suspicious. We've just been taking it easy in the apartment. We don't know how long it will take Lucas to regenerate, but we need to find his phylactery and destroy it, put an end to him or he'll just rebuild when we're gone and pick up right where he left off. After everyone's rested up, we're going to fight our way up and try and reach the upper levels. We have injuries from the last fight and the only thing we have on hand to deal with it are a few light cure potions we found in the apartment. They taste like cough syrup. We could have really used Avery for this.

==Journal Entry 357==

We have barricaded ourselves in the royal suite. It was a tough fight up here. Since most of the guards had their psion headbands, I became the distraction. I'd detach and fly in at them acting all ghost like. They'd panic and fire. Then the rest of the team had a minute to kill them before they could reload. It's a big assumption that the phylactery is up here. It may be below the city, or outside the city. It could be in Rosenbridge for all we know. The suite is at the highest point in the city, is well fortified and only has one entrance outside of the balcony that rings it. The guard have tried breaching the door for an hour before giving up. I'm not sure what they're doing out there but if they were smart, they'd be putting together a bomb and blast their way in. Max has been casually slinging spells over the balcony at the city below, causing more section collapses and outbreaks of fire. The only problem is that he's burning himself out fast from doing it. From the looks of it, Raina shot down the city airships, as we can see their wreckage littering the city's superstructure. No sign of our airship or the dragon as of yet. Mike and Cherri have been setting up a summoning circle. They're going to try and get us some demonic assistance.

==Journal Entry 358==

Lucas is back. I can hear him screaming curses at us from outside. We've ransacked his quarters pretty hard for anything we could use. We found a barely working, magically enhanced Android tablet that desperately needed a format, an airsoft FN FAL and a block of what we all agree is ancient Semtex that we're pretty sure is no longer any good after all these centuries. It's not even malleable anymore. In case it is, Austin is rigging up a magical detonator and we're dumping it in the sewer system, which seems to still be flowing, just in case. The airsoft gun appears to be modified. It can fire a magic missile about once a minute. As for our demon assistance, since we're not willing to sell souls or have a baby on hand to sacrifice, the best we can get is a messenger imp. We're sending it off to alert Marika, who presumably has our airship, as to where we are.

==Journal Entry 359==

Lucas breached our defenses. Well, he more went around them. He got outside and just flew onto the balcony. He's been fluctuating between begging and threats all day, but currently he's in begging mode. He just wants us to leave, he's promised he'll never bother us again and keep his hands off the rest of the continent until we're all dead of old age. We told him we'd consider it and that's what we're doing now. He's left and gone back downstairs while we figure this out. I figure that he's just going to stab us in the back the second he can. He's not entirely stable, especially since what we've done to his city. Even if he holds up the deal, the next group of Terrans is going to be fucked over and the ones after that and so on like the ones before us. I feel we need to do something, even if it's just for their revenge. Lucas needs to pay for what he's done, what he's doing and what he's going to do and I'll bring this whole civilization down with him if I have to. At least that's my stance on it. We're still discussing it. The Hind's returned to us and has landed on the balcony. They took to hiding a few miles away behind some dunes while the heat died down and Raina recovered. She's got some scars, even on her elven form, but nothing too dramatic. Marcus is proud of her. The baby's come out of all of this unscathed, as has Marika. We're including their input in this decision. They're not Terrans but they've thrown themselves in with us, they should have a voice too.

==Journal Entry 360==

We made our decision. We moved our bomb ingredients off the Hind and mixed them. It took a few hours, but when we were done, we had our one ton bomb and a five minute fuse. We would run.. for now, but we were going to leave a parting gift. We had a 5 minute fuse set up. We drew straws as to who would light it. I got the short straw, so I had to light it. I was given a torch from below deck. We made sure everything we wanted was on the ship and everyone was ready to pull out. Then I walked over and lit the fuse. I made it two steps away when suddenly the Rheingraf spymaster appeared and stabbed me through the gut. From the shock, I dropped the torch on the bomb crate. I think they knew what was going to happen; I saw the airship suddenly lift off and shoot into the sky. I grabbed the spymaster with all my remaining strength. I figured the explosion would be enough to destroy his enchantments once and for all. Then the bomb went off and I died. Well, my body did anyways. The explosion caused a chain reaction of collapses, the upper half of the arcology collapsed in on itself. The city was evacuated. I was in a daze for a few hours before I realized what had happened. I'm detached now, permanently. I spotted the Hind circling the ruins and I managed to flag them down, and here I am. Everyone is kind of in shock, and so am I. I don't feel anything.

==Journal Entry 361==

It's been a few days. We've been camped out around New Paris, watching the survivors. There hasn't been any sign of Lucas. We think that maybe the city was his phylactery, and we have effectively destroyed it. The locals, with our help, have managed to restore some functionality to their food paste producers and have been getting water from the local river, so they aren't starving to death for now. With Lucas gone, they've been deferring to us, the next Terrans in line. They want us to take over and lead them like Lucas or his parents did. I told them that it's time to leave this cursed desert and rejoin the rest of civilization. The problem is that most cities aren't big enough to hold their population. Hell, if they crossed the desert and settled in Manden, they'd triple its population. If they could survive the trip to Wolflake, maybe they could settle there? We're literally trying to figure out where to put the surviving population of one of the largest cities on the continent. It's baffling. As for my condition, well, I don't need food, water or sleep or much of anything else. At least I don't have to worry about my hair catching on fire.

==Journal Entry 362==

Austin has managed to make their food processing system more mobile and adjusted it to work with the sand. I'm not sure how nutritious it will be, but the consistency has at least improved. The surviving sun church leadership know the continent better then most, so they have been tasked to take care of the population and try and get it, eventually, to Wolflake. They may be able to use the river for transportation. I'm not sure where it ends or if it connects to the other rivers, but it's flowing in the right direction. As for us, we're trying to figure out what we want to do with our lives. We're tired. Maybe it's time to retire. Mike and Cherri are probably going to settle down and summon up a family. Marcus and Raina pretty much already have. I'm pretty sure we can find something to keep ourselves occupied in Aeyllin aside from being research subjects. Maybe I can take up a teaching position and spread the advancement, maybe get myself a new body, maybe not. Hopefully we won't make the same mistakes that the founders of New Paris did. If we do, I can only hope that the next group manages to fix our mess. So here we are. We were taken here against our wills, forced to fight to survive. We did, we adapted and we fought back. We crushed civilizations and helped found new ones. We changed the world. We survived. We are Terrans. We will always find a way.

==Journal Entry -----==

Two hundred years, just like we predicted. The next batch of Terrans has arrived in Rosenbridge. Twelve of them. They've already been here a week, struggling for food and water, living in an alleyway; Dirty and terrified of their new surroundings but not willing to lay down and die. Ah memories. Avery and I have already made contact and gotten their trust. We had our first discussion. They arrived from late 2011, our past. Of course this meant that we had to convince them that this was unrelated to the Mayan Calendar 2012 nonsense. We'll be taking them to New Chicago. We are going by train so we have time to talk and they will have time to eat and rest. Once they've adapted to the ways of this world, maybe a few will travel to Aeyllin and sign up at the University. I can already feel magic and psionic talents in them, struggling to express themselves. I can only wonder how they are going to change the world, what ideas and skills they've brought with them. Things may get exciting again.

'''This page is part of the Nobledark Imperium, a fan re-working of the Warhammer 40,000 Universe. See the [[Nobledark Imperium|Nobledark Imperium Introduction]] and [[Nobledark Imperium|Main Page]] for more information on the alternate universe'''

The galaxy has produced numerous notable individuals, Imperial or otherwise, throughout its long and storied history. The actions of these individuals have often shaped the course of history, saving the lives of billions of the galaxy's inhabitants or damning them to perdition. The Primarchs have their own page, which can be found [[Nobledark Imperium Primarchs|here]].

''"[[Nobledark_Imperium_Primarchs#Horus|My uncle]] was weak. My uncle was a fool.''

''I loved my uncle. He raised me as his own son, after my own father died. But is it not the way of the world that all children find that their parents have feet of clay.''

''Horus believed that all he had to do was speak, and people would lay out the fruits of the galaxy before him. That wisdom and reason and, in a pinch, sly cunning would win the day. But he did not realize that some people simply cannot be reasoned with. A trader must speak many languages, and sometimes violence is the only language some people will understand. Sometimes you have to fight, rather than talk, to achieve what you want in life. And if you cannot fight to protect something, then it never truly belonged to you in the first place.''

''I have heard Lady Malys’ statement. And I offer a counterproposal of my own. There is still something of the sly old man left in me yet. Malys believes me to be weak? Let her bring her fleet before me. Her pitiful excuse she calls a [[Nobledark_Imperium_Drafts#First_Black_Crusade|"Black Crusade”]]. I will devour it. My vessels are the wolves of the galaxy. My fleet is the jaws of the void. We will pick the scraps of her ships out of our teeth. The galaxy is a cold and spiteful place, and we are but its emissaries. I send this message on behalf of the Imperium.''

''Let those who threaten the galaxy burn."''

-- Ezekyle Abbadon, upon hearing Lady Malys' "Let the Galaxy Burn" speech at the beginning of the [[Nobledark_Imperium_Drafts#First_Black_Crusade|First Black Crusade]]

== Ahzek Ahriman ==

EDITOR'S NOTE: Incomplete by word of writefag. Needs to add in the [[Nobledark_Imperium_Notes#Ahzek_Ahriman|other information present on the Notes page]]. Writers are unsure if Avenians should be used in this way.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

''“What are you?”''<br>
''“Damned.”''<br>
-- Conversation between one of the [[Nobledark_Imperium_Forces_of_Chaos#The_Fallen|Fallen]] and Ahzek Ahriman of the Daemon Breakers during the battle of Fraxos, circa 780.M39, after the former stabbed the latter through the chest to no effect.

Ahzek Ahriman was born in the country of Achaemenidia, long known as the crossroads of the Old World, during the Unification Wars. As a result, as a child he had the opportunity to watch the Warlord's armies criss-cross the planet, first to the east to head off the western ambitions of Ursh, then to the south to shore up the rest of Afrik, then back to the east again to cross into Persepotropolis and the rest of Azia.

Ahriman grew up in Achaemenidia under the shadow of marching Thunder Warriors alongside his twin brother, Ohrmuzd. Despite being twins, the two of them could not be more different, like fire and shadow. Ahriman was the fire, full of righteous passion and will. Ohrmuzd was the shadow, calm and understanding, but also soft and unassertive. Ohrmuzd often had difficulty hiding his psychic gifts and was frequently harassed as a freak and a witch during his childhood. Ahriman often found himself defending his shyer brother against the other children with his hands and fists, gaining many a bruise or bloody nose in the process. It was these encounters that left Ahzek Ahriman with a lifelong hatred of bullies and those that would abuse power, something that would influence him for the rest of his life.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Eventually, the psychic talents of the two brothers brought them to the attention of the Imperium, in particular the inscrutable psyker Magnus the Red. Both brothers were inducted into the newly formed XV Legion, and given the enhancements of the Mark III MP geneseed. Although both brothers were tutored by Magnus, Ahriman was clearly the favorite. Ahriman devoured knowledge at a rate that few others in the legion could match, and was always eager to learn more. Ohrmuzd never resented this, he had always been afraid of his powers and was merely happy to be able to know enough to keep them under control. Ahriman grew to idolize Magnus, whereas Magnus came to see Ahriman as his star pupil. Magnus had always been too scarred by his experiences in [[Nobledark_Imperium_Drafts#Ursh|Ursh]] and the Forbidden Mountains of Himalazia to ever consider a romantic relationship, but he considered Ahriman to be the closest thing he ever had to a son. Magnus even trusted him enough to teach him the forbidden arts of summoning and binding creatures of the Warp, passed on to him by his mother Ada.

When the Warlord, now rechristened the Steward chose his Primarchs, Ahzek Ahriman was one of the possibilities at the top of the list among idle gossipers, due to his immense talent and being by far the most prominent son of Achaemenidia. However, in the end Ahriman was passed over in favor of Magnus the Red. To Ahriman, this was only right and proper. He had owed everything to Magnus, and it was only fair that his mentor be recognized for his talents. The student had yet to surpass the master, and he was humble enough to admit it.

Tragedy struck during the Ark Reach Cluster campaign when the Thousand Sons fought against the human Avenians on their capital world of Heliosa alongside the Word Bearers and the Vlka Fenryka. The inhabitants of Heliosa used strange magicks to stymy the Imperial advance, and the Steward had sent his legion of witches and psykers in turn to check them. The more powerful Ahriman stayed behind to protect the rear while his more cautious brother was sent to advance the front. Yet when Amon unexpectedly returned to the rear guard in a panic saying that something had happened and Ahriman had to come with him immediately, Ahriman realized something had gone wrong.

The Avenians were loyal devotees of Chaos and the four Ruinous Powers, which was the source of their strange abilities. Their patrons had taught them nightmarish fleshcrafting sorcery to unleash upon the legionnaires, which turned men into mewling monstrosities and was especially potent on psykers and the weak-willed. When Ahriman finally reached the front, he was directed to a shambling mass that could no longer stand under its own power. [[Chaos_Spawn|It has no axis of symmetry, with numerous limbs sticking out from its melted tumor of a body, many of which were not even human. It labored to breathe, most of the eyes on its faceless body glassy and unfocused. There was no mistaking who it used to be, especially when the creature opened one of its mouths and begged for death with the same voice that Ahriman had known since childhood.]] There was no saving Ohrmuzd, only giving the tortured thing he had become peace. It was when he delivered the final mercy to his afflicted brother that he realized the truth: the gods of Chaos and their daemons were no more than upscaled bullies. It seemed childish and ludicrous a thought to entertain, but that did not mean it was not true.

It is said that twins, especially psyker twins, possess a connection unlike anything else in the universe. The eldar and {DATA REDACTED} can well attest to this, and this is thought to be the principle behind psychic phenomena like Ansible Twins. And the loss of that connection, the loneliness that follows, is one of the worst things anyone can experience. Ahriman certainly felt that way. Tragedy would continue to dog Ahriman. [[Nobledark_Imperium_Writing#Iron_Without_Iron_Within|Achaemenidia was virtually destroyed in the War of the Beast, like most countries of the reformed Tharkian Empire due to the Beast’s forces encamping at the gates of the Imperial Palace to the north during the Battle of Terra]].

However, although it was not possible to recover in full, it was possible to move on. When the Thousand Sons relocated themselves to the psychic planet of [[Nobledark_Imperium_Notable_Planets#Prospero|Prospero]] after the end of the War of the Beast, Ahriman found a second home for himself. Despite being an outsider, his love of knowledge and learning eventually won over the local population, with Ahriman eventually becoming one of the most esteemed teachers and scholars on the planet. Many a letter from Prospero during the Imperial Golden Age speaks glowingly of “Professor Ahriman”, the tutor who seemed to have boundless enthusiasm for teaching and was well-loved by his students. He was for many generations of young psykers what Magnus had been for him.

Then the [[Nobledark_Imperium_Drafts#Fourth_Black_Crusade|Fourth Black Crusade]] happened. Prospero for years had been a source of irritation for Lady Malys and the Crone Eldar, the idea of a human psychic city on a hill was disgusting to them. Prospero had always been a target during the last three Black Crusades, but this time it appeared as though the destruction of the planet would actually happen, as the Cronefleets marched slowly but surely towards Prospero as Imperial fleets, Guard regiments, and Astartes chapters marshalled to its defense. Ahriman had had enough. He had already lost his home and his family twice before. He would not do so again. As Astartes and Spire Guard and daemon and Crone Eldar dueled to the death in Tizca’s streets and nuclear bombs exploded in the planet’s atmosphere, Ahriman gathered up whatever psykers he could spare, ranging from Prosperan students to Thousand Son Librarians, to conduct a hastily made ritual out of what little sorcerous knowledge could be scrounged out of the Great Library of Tizca to send Prospero to a pocket dimension where it would be safe. Needless to say, [[Legion_of_the_Damned|the results of the ritual]] [[Not_As_Planned|did not go according to plan]]. Whether or not the Changer of Ways had any hand in corrupting the ritual is unknown, though certainly not out of the question.

Ahriman and his cabal survived the casting of the Rubric, and at first he seemed to cope suspiciously well given the loss of his adopted home. However, it soon became apparent that any such acceptance was merely a façade, and Ahriman had become deeply broken and self-loathing by this turn of events. A few decades after the Burning of Prospero, it was discovered that Ahriman had been using Magnus’ forbidden knowledge to bind and interrogate daemons and had been teaching other members of the Thousand Sons how to do this. When an Inquisitorial investigation confirmed these claims there was a public outrage. Magnus the Red was particularly horrified by this turn of events. Having seen Ahriman as his potential successor, he had taught Ahriman the forbidden ways passed down to him by his mother because he believed the knowledge needed to be remembered just in case and he felt Ahriman was responsible enough to use them only as a last resort. He didn’t expect Ahriman to start summoning daemons and beating them for information. As everything took a turn for the worst, Ahriman and most of his followers who knew how to bind daemons fled, unrepentant for their actions but refusing to hurt fellow Imperials over it.

== Alith Anar ==

EDITOR'S NOTE: May need name change

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

An insane reformed Dark Eldar that goes on raids, sometimes solo because nobody else is stupid enough, into the Dark City and the Crone Worlds because FUCK THOSE PIECES OF SHIT!

He is a vat grown, one of the legions in the Dark City. Massively underdeveloped psychic powers for an eldar of his age. Like holy shit small children are better psykers than him. To speak the High Tongue properly you need to have at least some psychic talent for the inflections. He can't hardly speak High Tongue.

On the positive side this does make him far better at passing for the Dark Eldar he used to be. What made him change sides? Nobody's sure. He just took a look around one day at his shitty gang of half-withered in one of the low towns. Looked up at the towers of High Town, saw the procession of Chaos Eldar walking his street like they owned it, looked back up at High Town, looked again at his gang, remembered the traveling Harlequins and the things they told him and then lost his mind.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Next thing he knows he's sprinting through the webway with angry scum behind him.

Technically he is on the Path of the Outcast. He can't adapt to Craftworld life properly, he's too old to change easily now. He is only allowed in the periphery and visitors sections of the more tolerant Craftworlds, the others have banned him outright for being what he is. He wholeheartedly approves of this because he would do the exact same in their shoes.

He has gone full monk. He eats only simple food, drinks only water, spends much time in meditation and contemplation, hones his martial skills and as far as anyone can tell he is totally celibate. He is about as far away from Dark Eldar psychologically as it is possible to get.

He has more friends among humanity than his own species, if only because humanity is notoriously and tragically bad at telling Dark and Craftworld eldar apart without training. Also humanity tends to be slightly more forgiving, he considers them to be a bit stupid in that regard.

He is not charismatic. He is not some dashing anti-hero or pantie moistening Dark Knight type figure. He's a deranged fuck up with weaponry that probably isn't safe to be left with alone. He has done terrible things and they don't trouble him as much as they should. He isn't motivated by some higher purpose, his motivation is "kill as many of the fuckers before one of them gets lucky and kills me". His one real redeeming feature, if such it is, is that he is predictable in what he wants if not in how he goes about getting it.

== Anval Thawn ==

EDITOR'S NOTE: May need some adjustments. Malan'tai was said to be steered into a star and it's not clear if the Grey Knights would have been around to help since Malan'tai was anti-human. Additionally, there was talk of going into more detail on Thawn's deaths and how it has affected him.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

Anval Thawn of the Grey Knights was born to perfectly normal parents in one of the Sunless Cities deep in the crust of Old Earth called Kal Darihm, down in the deeps and just above the lightless seas and the geothermal shafts and surrounded on all sides by the winding tunnels of night eternal where no man lived. Here his father provided for his family as a humble and honest fisherman of the strange pale fish that were found so deep. He attended the local branch of the Rhetor Imperia, Paragon Cuthbert’s School For Good Citizens, which was present in the outskirts of south Kal Darihm at that time.

He received a simple but well-rounded education. He learned a little of history both recent and ancient, he learned a little of geography both local and galactic, he learned a little High Gothic in a sort of rough and ready way and then went to be a fisherman like his father as was expected. In a fair and just universe that would have been his life, a life on the water doing honest work for honest pay knowing nothing of war or the horrors beyond name and number. But the galaxy is not just and the galaxy has no notion of fairness.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

On his fifteenth birthday, three years after finishing his formal education, a pale-grasper of unusual size plucked him from his father’s boat swiftly and with barely time to scream but rather than sure death in the briny deeps in the maw of a great Cephalopod he rose from the darkness like a missile bathed in light and bolted across the surface of the sea like it was sound rock of the tunnels. Tests confirmed it, Anval of the family Thawn was a psyker. His mother and father and brother and sister held him close that night as they knew that they would not see him again for a long time if at all, he held witch-fire in his heart and the Sisters of Silence were ever efficient in their duties.

Sure enough in the early hours a knock of armoured fist on their door was heard. Father Thawn opened the door to the sister in her brass-trimmed robes and with tears in their eyes the family was divided and Anval was taken to the Schola Psykana and the distant land of the surface. It took some time for melancholy to pass as he had left behind all he knew and it took longer for the agoraphobia to subside as he had never seen sky or sun or moon before and was quite expecting to fall from the face of the Earth with no cave ceiling above him.

He studied hard in the hallowed halls of the Schola Psykana and although his tutors felt within him a great roaring furnace of potential ability they couldn’t teach him of any way to harness it beyond simple telekinesis and a little light illusion. None of their techniques worked but then the primary purpose of the Schola Psykana was to make people safe for their own good and the good of the people and with this they did succeed. The whispers of things to dark and terrible to contemplate found no purchase in his mind and soul and were ever frustrated. By age seventeen Anval was brought to the attention of other eyes. His stature was sturdy and his limbs strong, he had great stamina and had maintained his physique from his fishing days through his further education.

It was bitter sweet when he returned home again for proud though his family was of him his new journey would take him to the fabled halls of Titan. On Titan he was torn apart and remade in the image of the legends of ancient days, a Grey Knight and a warrior without peer. The training was hard, but he rose to the challenge of it and surgical modifications were brutal but he endured them and the flesh of the artificial organs took root in his own.

Anval of the family Thawn returned home only a few times, though he wrote often. He was not the same person he had been when he left and with each passing year in the service of the Imperium he grew more distant from them and had seen things out in the wars on distant worlds and stranger places that he did not wish to see. He outlived his family by many generations and in the end it seemed he met his doom on the bones of the craftworld Malan'tai. The craftworld was being disassembled carefully as none would dwell in so sorrowful a place but much was still to be had for salvage and such value had attracted the damned and forsaken. The battle was short and intense and almost a defeat but the neverborn and their fallen eldar pets were dispatched. Of the casualties was Brother Thawn who fell with the spear of N'Kari, Keeper of Secrets. With great solemnity his body and the bodies of his fallen brothers were taken back to Titan to be laid to rest in the fields of the dead beneath the dense and dark atmosphere.

It was then that the legend of Thawn really began to get told. Just before the procession made it to the airlocks the almost interred Brother-Knight pushed the stone slab from his sarcophagus and sat upright, removing the linen shroud from his confused features. Commotion was an understatement. It was determined, after extensive testing to ensure freedom from corruption, that he mustn’t have been dead when they laid him out to rest. The Apothecaries emphatically denied this. He was dead as Pius, a spear in his chest the size of a small tree punched a hole right through his chest and took most of the contents of the ribcage with it. His resurrection was not the work of mundane recovery.

Whatever the cause he was given a clean bill of health and returned to service after another six months of testing. Seventy years of the Long War later and he was longitudinally bisected from collar to hip by an orkish worshiper of Khorne. On the way back to Titan his comrades were more than a bit startled to see him sit down in the ship’s mess hall for a bite to eat and a cup of tea with nothing more untoward than confused memories of the last few hours. He was tested again and again, after some time, returned to service.

In his three thousand year career Anval Thawn has been;

Crushed by a Gargant - full recovery in just under 48 hours

Decapitated by a Fallen Champion of Slaanesh, flesh melted from the head and the skull taken as a trophy - head reappeared on shoulders in less than a month

Atomised by necron gauss flayer - awoke in his bunk on Titan seven weeks later

Direct hit from a nuclear warhead, body unrecoverable - was next seen walking on to the bridge of the ship that he had departed from earlier that day.

Mobbed and torn apart by Meatweaver constructs - Reappeared in the Titan dockyard nearly a year later. Longest absence on record.

Burned to the bones by Defiler in 12th Black Crusade - Appeared in a nearby forest naked less than an hour later and started sprinting towards the Defiler to get even.

And many other terrible fates. There is no describable pattern to manner of death to time spent dead or any reliability on where he will return. As to why he returns at all? Some say it's his natural immense psychic talent finding an outlet. Some say he has been chosen by the eldar's future god of the dead to be it's herald, reaching backwards through time to bless him. Some say it's a prank by Chaos to drive him to despair and show him that there is no hope, not even in death. If it is a prank of Chaos it's backfired hideously. Thawn has had thousands of years to see the beauty of the Imperium he fights and dies for and if he must die he will die a thousand times a thousand and a thousand more again.

He has been around long enough now to see the shape of things and note the number of prophesies reaching fruition. He has seen the face of the enemy and it is getting worried. The Imperium marches to Judgment Day and what the gods maybe don't appreciate is that they are just as much on trial.

== The APEX Twins ==

See [[Nobledark_Imperium_Writing#The_APEX_Twins|The APEX Twins]]

== Arik Taranis ==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' The First Custodian '''''

Unlike many of the people who served the Warlord during the Unification Era, Arik Taranis came from the Terrawatt Clan, much like Malcador and the Warlord himself. As a result, Arik knew the Warlord back when the Warlord was merely Oscar, the two of them having virtually “grown up” together. Like most of the people in the Terrawatt technocracy, Arik was quite tech savvy. In fact, Arik was one of the better geneticists in Terrawatt, and was one of the people who helped the Warlord design the first model of Thunder Warrior augmentations. A design which, shortly after, he then used on himself.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

The Warlord was taken aback at the idea that Arik would subject himself to the Thunder Warrior treatment. The design for the Thunder Warriors was untested and Arik was worth more for his brain than as a super-soldier, and the Warlord told him as much. Arik rebutted that the very fact the Thunder Warrior augmentations were untested was the reason Arik needed to undergo the procedure in the first place. Oscar needed someone he knew to be competent to lead the Thunder Warriors, and Arik was one of the few people who fit the bill.

Arik Taranis proved to be unfailingly loyal to the Warlord and his ideals of Unification, serving as the Warlord’s personal bodyguard in the years before the creation of the Adeptus Custodes. However, his service was not without controversy. Taranis had a bad habit of doing things behind the Warlord’s back, some of which went for centuries before anyone even discovered he had done them in the first place. Perhaps the greatest example of this was the large number of experimental modifications he made to his own augmentations, all of which were done behind the Warlord’s back. This was largely due to Taranis and the Warlord’s shared upbringing, leading him to see the Warlord as an equal rather than a messiah or a figure of admiration.

This was far from Taranis’ only flaw. Taranis could be rather arrogant and impetuous, and sometimes overestimated his own abilities. He often liked to show off both in terms of intelligence and his physical ability. He had a flashy fighting style and liked to let his opponents know they were completely outclassed, though he would often drop it and fight seriously when the situation demanded it. He was a bit of an adrenaline junkie, and enjoyed a good fight more than anything else.

However, Taranis’ initiative was also a good as well as a bad thing. Although Taranis was often too independent for his own good, he was also one of the few people who the Warlord could rely on to tell him the honest truth, even if it was one he did not want to hear. The Warlord saw Malcador as a father figure, and any argument between them tended to be resolved in the latter’s favor. By contrast, the Warlord tended to inspire near-mythical levels of awe in many of his followers, which made debate rather difficult. Taranis knew the Warlord had feet of clay and was willing to give him a second opinion, but because the Warlord knew Taranis only had the Warlord’s best interests in mind and was (usually) willing to defer to his better judgement he was willing to hear him out.

Arik Taranis lasted on the front lines much longer than almost any of the other first-generation Thunder Warriors. This was in part because he understood how his augmentations worked, and therefore knew the right combination of diet and drugs to keep himself healthy, and partly because of the large number of experimental add-ons he performed behind the Warlord’s back to make himself more stable, many of which later floated down to later super-soldier designs. However, all of this was merely prolonging the inevitable, and Arik’s body eventually failed him just before the end of the Unification.

Oscar came to his old friend shortly after Unification, finding Taranis sullenly sitting in a wheelchair in the hospital. Taranis had been fortunate enough that it was his body that had failed him, rather than his mind. The Warlord, now Steward, reiterated to Arik what he had said decades ago. Arik was worth more to humanity for his brain than his brawn, and he needed to stop pushing himself before he got himself killed. Arik had been a fine soldier and a loyal bodyguard, but what Earth needed now were scientists and doctors, not soldiers.

Arik was put to work rebuilding Old Earth with the rest of the scientists. As a geneticist, Taranis was one of many who were tapped by the Steward to work on the Mark III gene-seed project. This was primarily where Taranis’ secret modifications to himself made their way to the later super soldier designs. Although the primary movers in the Mark III gene-seed project were the Merikan gene-hippies and the Ducht Jermanic genesmiths, Arik provided his own contributions to the project, mostly in the form of modifications which he had field-tested himself and therefore knew would work.

It was at some time during this period that Arik realized that he could use the results of the gene-seed project to fix his old, broken augmentations. And so it was that once again, with the help of a few other intrepid helpers, Arik Taranis once again decided to tamper with his own augmentations. Arik was excited about the possibilities. Being able to fight once more on the front lines with the Steward. What’s more, if the procedure worked, he could then apply the results of his research to the other Thunder Warriors and heal them of their woes. And why would it not? He was the one who had done the theoretical calculations, after all, and since when had he been wrong?

It was the biggest mistake of Taranis’ life. The procedure went disastrously wrong and had to be aborted, and Taranis nearly died. It was only at this point that the full extent of Arik’s modifications to himself became known. Indeed, the only reason Arik even survived the procedure was that he had several additional organs in his system wasn’t even supposed to have. If it had been anyone else on the operating table, they would have died. Taranis’ dream of using the procedure to fix all of the other broken old Thunder Warriors had died on the operating table.

The Steward, for his part, was furious when he found out what Taranis had done. Taranis was in better health this time, a bitter consolation from the few augmentations that had been installed before the operation had to be aborted. Although before it was Taranis who provided an outsider’s perspective on the Steward’s actions, this time it was the Steward who saw his friend’s flaws. The discussion between the two was short and personal. Taranis said he was fit for duty. The Steward disagreed. He had seen the medical reports, and he had heard what Taranis had done to himself. Additionally, the Steward personally thought that Taranis was nowhere near as stable as he claimed, given the issues that had plagued many of the other early stage Thunder Warriors. Between his mismatched physiology and the fact that no one but Arik knew how his augmentations worked, he was a liability in the field. He would not let Arik put himself in danger like that. According to the Steward, if Taranis wanted to be his guard so badly, then so be it. But Taranis forgot it was the job of the Steward’s bodyguards to protect the Imperial Palace and humanity’s capital just as much as it was to guard him. Taranis would be staying on Old Earth. And if Oscar ever found out that Arik had been experimenting on himself again, he would put his old friend back in that wheelchair personally.

And so, despite his turnaround in health, Arik found himself doing much the same thing he had been doing before he had attempted the procedure. The only difference was that he found himself assigned to the Steward’s new set of bodyguards, the Adeptus Custodes, albeit with explicit orders to remain on Earth guarding the Imperial Palace and training the next generation of Custodians. Although Taranis was not as physically strong as the new Custodes, he made up for it with the years of fighting experienced he had gained by surviving some of the toughest battlefields of Unification-era Earth. Nevertheless, Arik had mixed feelings about his pupils. One the one hand, he was proud of them, both as the product of both his genetic expertise and the students of his teachings. On the other hand, he knew that eventually his students would reach a level he could not attain. Skill could only take him so far and, more than likely, his body would break down once again. Even Constantin Valdor, who he considered his brightest pupil despite his dour, no-nonsense attitude, would one day surpass him.

Like everyone else on Old Earth, Taranis was shocked at the news of the War of the Beast. As the horror stories from the front began to trickle in, one terrible fact began to become clear. The Beast seemed to be making a beeline for Old Earth. Many of the legions were already on their way back to reinforce the planet, but it was highly likely the Beast would get there before all of the legions did. If Old Earth was going to survive it was going to need a standing army, and fast. And Taranis knew just where he might find one.

Taranis put out a call to all of the remaining old, retired Thunder Warriors using the old Unification-era codes to congregate at the Imperial Palace. These were not first-generation Thunder Warriors, who by that point were all dead with the exception of Angron, who lay on his deathbed within the Imperial Palace. They were late-stage Thunder Warriors, who had been removed from active duty for one reason or another. Most were too broken to respond to his call, but quite a few felt they had one fight left in them. They would need a few days to assemble, but they would be there. Taranis needed one last thing, a symbol to inspire them, one that would to appeal to both Unification-era soldiers and Astartes alike.

So he took up the old flag of Unification.

The Siege of Terra was one of the most intense experiences of Arik’s life. Orks, daemons, Dark Eldar, and Crone Eldar seemingly coming from all directions. A perpetual struggle just to survive. Old friends and new students fighting side-by-side in the name of humanity. Taranis had never felt more alive.

Taranis’ greatest personal victory of the battle came when he defeated Zarakynel, the Slaaneshi Keeper of Secrets. As Taranis crushed a Chaos Eldar’s head with his gladius, its flawlessly beautiful features exploding into a bloody paste, a flash of silver in the corner of his vision caught his attention. He had only the slightest moment to spin away from the attack as two blades whistled past, sparks flying as they tore gauges into his golden breastplate. The Blood Angel veteran beside him was not so fortunate: locked in combat with a Bloodletter, the twin blades sliced through the two combatants with only the slightest of resistance, daemon and Astartes alike falling into three neat pieces.

Taranis looked up at his attacker. Before him stood a lithe monstrosity surrounded by screeching Daemonettes, a looming figure of purple skin and whipcord flesh. Its features were male and female, animal and human, beautiful and grotesque, all at once, and at the end of its four slender arms wicked swords and claws gleamed malevolently as they spun and danced in the daemon’s hands.

As the battle raged around them, the Keeper of Secrets looked down at him and grinned, wet purple lips splitting to reveal rows of black teeth. “I have heard of you, Arik Taranis. The old custodian. The cripple. The freak. Trying so hard to reach perfection as you watch the rest of the world leave you in the dust. Take heart, though, for to die at my hands will be a beautiful death.”

Behind Taranis, several Custodes stepped forward to join him, fanning out in an arc beside their Lord Commander. “Perhaps you’re right,” said Taranis. “Perhaps I am only a old mass of mismatched parts and refuse stitched together.” His hand tightened around his gladius, and beside him six halberds rose in unison. “Still, better to die a freak than to live as filth such as you. My body may be weak, but an old friend of mine always said that my brain was stronger than my body. Let us see if that’s true.”

The Keeper of Secrets screeched with rage, and as one the Custodes charged, two splitting off to hold off the Daemonettes and four joining Taranis against the greater daemon. Immediately the daemon’s arms sprang into deadly motion, its blades and claws quicksilver flashes as the four arms attacked, parried, and riposted the attacks of the Custodes. Taranis had never faced an opponent so fast; fighting the daemon felt like fighting ten opponents, as its blows rained down from all sides. Slowed by the great banner in his left hand, it took all his skill and cunning to defend himself from the daemon’s attacks, and for the hundredth time that day he envied the augmentations of the younger Custodes around him.

Yet they were not faring much better. For all their speed and strength, the Custodes could not seem to find a gap in the daemon’s defenses, leaving only glancing blows even when their halberds managed to connect. All the while, the Keeper of Secrets arms were a blur of motion, blades whirling around its body in an impenetrable defense and lashing out in blindingly quick strikes. The daemon’s attacks eventually found their mark. One Custodes fell, his head cleanly decapitated from his body, and then another fell, cut in two from shoulder to hip as he reeled backwards from the loss of an arm.

Taranis glanced down at their corpses. Taleos, Karwenn. Two boys he had personally picked from a crowd of aspirants. He had placed their first practice swords in their hands and taught them how to swing a blade, lectured them on the meaning of loyalty and duty, and placed the golden, crested helms upon their heads when they were inducted in the ranks of the Custodes. Two more corpses among mountains. ''Perhaps Oscar is right'', he mused. ''I have grown old and worn from battle, my heart hardened and blasted smooth by war and death. My time is over. He deserves a better man at his side.''

As they fought, Taranis noticed the daemon was slowing its attacks just as they neared him, giving him just a hairsbreadth of room to parry or dodge away from its slashes. ''It is taunting me, showing me just how much faster it is,'' he realized. Beneath his helm he smiled grimly. ''Perhaps we are more alike than I thought. I can work with that.''

Taranis feinted backwards, feigning a stumble, and the Keeper charged, shrieking exultantly as it sensed victory. However, its greed and bloodlust left it overextended and the other two Custodes pressed the attack, forcing the daemon to throw out its arms to both sides to fend off assault. In that moment, Taranis saw his chance. Digging in his back foot, he reversed his momentum and charged the greater daemon with a burst of speed, closing the gap in the blink of an eye. Caught without time to prepare a proper defense, the daemon could only howl as it desperately stabbed forward with its two free arms towards Taranis’ chest.

There was no way to block both attacks, the daemon was too close and too swift. So Taranis chose. His sword arm swept up, knocking aside one of the daemon’s silver swords. The other sank deep into the left side of his chest, grinding and scraping as it pierced first his breastplate and then his interlocking ribcage. Taranis grunted and lurched forward, blood spilling forth from the wound. The daemon grinned, for it knew that it had just pierced the Custodes’ primary heart, and it would be a trivial matter to finish the weakened human.

Or so it thought. Taranis savored the flash of surprise on the daemon’s face as his charge continued unslowed, its gloating pleasure becoming shock. Who would have known that the last ditch surgery that moved his heart to his right side and saved his life on the operating table would save him once again. And now he was within the daemon’s guard. It could not defend, it could not run.

The Banner of Unification clenched firmly in his left hand, he hacked down at the monster’s leg, severing it at the first joint, and as the Keeper of Secrets fell forward screaming Taranis spun and lifted his gladius to meet it in a great, flashing arc. The power sword sparked and crackled as it bisected the daemon at the waist. Purple blood and steaming ichor spattered Taranis’ helm as the top half of the daemon sailed past, its soul sent back to the Immaterium to grovel before the Prince of Pleasure and explain how his greatest champion had fallen against a freak.

Arik Taranis died spitting defiance into the face of the Beast and his nobs, even though he had not managed to do any lasting damage to the great grot. If one had been able to speak to Taranis after the battle, he would have probably said it was the way he would have wanted to go.

Arik Taranis’ body was laid to rest in a now forgotten graveyard in the old nation of Terrawatt.

== Belisarius Cawl ==

EDITORS NOTE: We need a replacement for the Khrave Incursion, Machairius wiped them out years before in this timeline.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' The Wizard of Flesh '''''

Archmagos Belisarius Cawl started his life in 333.M41 like many born to the Adeptus Biologicus in that he was born from as the fruit from one of the bizarre half-animal gestation trees of Molech. Odd things, part plant and part animal and with a seed pod designed to hold and support an implanted human embryo until full development. He had no parents, or possibly he had legion of them as his genes were a randomized assortment taken from the seed vaults of the Blood-Cutter order.

He grew up as many such branch children do, regimented into cohorts of his own age and, when characteristics and aptitudes became evident, abilities. It was not a bad childhood or at least not as bad as it could have been. He spent his youth in an almost magical kingdom of strange flowers, towering trees and bizarre animals spliced and cultivated by the genius of his and kindred orders.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

He grew to be wise, quick to learn and meticulous in his duties though quite introverted. His aptitude was found to be in the modification of things that were already functioning rather than the majority of the Blood-Cutter order who typically specialized in making new organism from scratch. Cawl's earliest assignments as a Technician-Novice was in the manipulation of viruses and bacteria useful in the creation of vaccines, efforts that saw his first master repeatedly targeted by decidedly unsubtle Nurgle Cultists. In one such altercation it was discovered that Novice Cawl was, when backed into a corner, more than capable of defending himself when several assailants were found fatally stabbed in the head and neck with scalpels. These attacks did nothing for Cawl's already difficult disposition and were almost certainly responsible for his massive reluctance to never leave his home planet.

When it was deemed he had learned enough from his first master he was transferred to another of the orders elders to learn the mysteries of immunity and organ transfer. He proved quite good at this and used his now considerable knowledge to tailor viruses with genes of the intended recipient to change genetic markers in the foreign organ to make it acceptable to the host body. This was considered work of the highest order, far beyond what a mere Novice should be capable of and so it was to be his official Master Piece and he was declared a true adept, an ordained member of the Blood Cutters.

His work was of such astounding quality that customers would come to him and he would never have to leave Molech, a fear that had only grown over the years. Typically he was commissioned to piece together aging governors and other medium to big-ish players who had already had some work done to them, often from a rival order, and weren't following the official human internal plan anymore. It would be nice to think that they asked for him in person but at that point he was probably being given the jobs the elders weren't willing to be accountable for. But Cawl was a very fast learner and proved capable of fixing most of what was dropped on his work slab.

This won him many friends, it also won him many enemies. Specifically political rivals of his patients who would like him to stop giving them additional years of grief. Cawl knew he had made it big when he had to dodge his first attempted murder, attempted murderer sadly could not be brought in for questioning after Cawl jammed the sharp end of a broken long necked beaker into his throat.

It was not until the 4th Khrave Incursion that his name truly got made known as his workshop was one marked as a repair center for broken Space Marines of both the MkIII MP Astartes and the Dog Soldiers of Vin's World. Many of these broken super soldiers were suffering from a combination of various carcinogenic substances and several mutagenic infections. By this time Cawl was approaching the end of his third century and had Novices of his own to teach and he felt that they learned a lot from being allowed to open a Space Marine up whist still working (and conscious). Most of those that came to him survived to everyone's amazement bar his own.

It was at at about this point in his life that he started, as all of his kind seem to, to look towards self improvement. Like all of his kind it became somewhat of a hobby of his although unlike most of his kind he at least made some effort to remain looking human.

Belisarius Cawl continued to work diligently and his work was much sought after despite his eccentricities. One of his most worrying eccentricities was making people "better" rather than just well. All that his patients knew of for sure when the anesthetic put them under was that they would wake up healthy. They might also wake up with a new set of lungs they didn't ask for or a more prehensile tongue, one of his favorite things to do was to replace the melanin in peoples skin with different compounds so that patches of it would tan a different colour and make beautiful patterns. Possibly he was slightly insane but it was a useful very insane.

By the time he was first contacted by Emissaries from distant Ultramar he was approximately 590 years old. He was by then a mottled green of unevenly spread chloroplasts in his skin and his eyes would have looked more at home on a cephalopod but compared to others of his type of such advancing years was comparatively normal. Physically normal at least. His mental state was questionable.

It wasn't until several more requests the final of which was slapped onto his desk via Custodes power armoured fist with the stamp of the Emperor's own signet ring waxed on to it that Cawl got out of his workshop and onto the orbital tether. He didn't know what stake the Emperor had in some little king's project and he didn't much care. What he did know was that the big man in the banana armour was very scary and probably wouldn't ask as politely next time.

And so Cawl left the world he had no intention of leaving, to travel across an Imperium he had no desire to see to work in a nation he had no desire to visit. He didn't even like Ultramar. Or at least he didn't like Macragge, a name he couldn't pronounce but he just assumed all of Ultramar was like Macragge. They put tomato and everything and ate cheese which were two things he disliked and the language was abrasive and hold your fucking hand still when you speak you fucking barbarian what the fuck is wrong with you put some fucking pants on for fucks sake holy shit all the men are wearing dresses GOD I HATE FOREIGNERS!

Needless to say he did not make friends easily or possibly at all. But he was not there to make friends, he was there to make Space Marines or at least oversee a big project of other people making Space Marines and ensure that they did it properly. Or at least that's what he should have been doing had the gormless twit in charge of the Ultramarines hadn't called for him before getting the project approved by his government. This did not improve his mood and only made him long for returning to Molech and he most probably would have except that the golden plated banana man was probably camping in his office waiting for him so he was just going to have to stay here. With the pagans. With these idiot pagans.

So with a whole warehouse full of Astartes components he wiled away the time between upgrading Ultramarine recruits with self improvement. None of the actual Space Marine parts would fit in his frame even if they were genetically compatible (they weren't and he couldn't do much about that because the organ was weird and stopped working).

In the end he settled for making cheap knock offs several sizes smaller. In his chest is one mostly normal lung and one counterfeit astartes lung and two scaled down astartes secondary hearts. One of is kidneys has been replaced with a poor copy of an Astartes kidney and he has done something to his bone marrow that makes the blood more clotty when exposed to the open air. He's also lost the ability to grow hair, he suspects the altered blood chemistry has done that. Or the stress.

And so continues the mostly inglorious story of Archmagos Belisarius Cawl of Molech.

Despite his misgivings about his current position in life and the Imperium it can not be denied that if nothing else Ultramar has at least got a legendary doctor.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' The Last Tyranid '''''

''“The Tyranids are undoubtedly one of the greatest threats the Imperium has ever faced, all-consuming in its hunger and insidious in its method of infiltration. I do not care. This Hive Fleet will burn like the rest.”''<br>
- Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Kryptman

Once upon a time there was a world. A complete nowhere world, located on the very fringes of the galaxy. An Ocean World, which despite having some nice beaches saw little tourism due to its remote location, some mines, and a small bit of aqua- and agriculture on and around the few volcanic islands that poked their heads above the planet’s seas. It’s only real contacts with the Imperium a semi-retired Arbiter and a small Adeptus Mechanicus research outpost, its contributions to the Imperium minimal but of no bother.

The only thing of note the world ever produced was a child. A child, named Boaz Kryptman, who saw his home planet of Tyran devoured.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

When the Hive Fleet Behemoth first made galaxyfall in M37, the inhabitants of Tyran were lucky enough to see it coming. An Explorator scouting ship headed by Magos Varnak had been lucky enough to spot a cloud of what at first glance had seemed to be unusual debris heading from what was once a verdant uninhabited world towards Tyran. The Explorator ship was damaged by what appeared to be biological artillery weapons, but managed to limp its way back to Tyran.

The people of Tyran, who lived so far out they were actually considered east of the Segmentum Ultima, knew there was no way they could contact the Imperium for assistance. An astropathic distress signal had been sent as per standard protocol, but the Explorator vessel had encountered the unknown force less than a lightyear away from Tyran and by the time any Imperial fleet could actually reach Tyran via Warp travel it would be too late. All that could be done was load up as many people as possible onto the single, small Warp-capable merchant ship that had docked in the Tyran system and get them out of the system to somewhere safe. Among those on the ships was the son of the planet’s semi-retired Arbitrator, Boaz Kryptman.

The rest of Tyran’s population barricaded themselves inside the Mechanicus’ research facilities located deep within several extinct volcanoes. These facilities weren’t Fortress Worlds, but they were natural bunkers and chokepoints surrounded by defensive weapons and surface to orbit weaponry common to worlds on the edge of known space. The people of Tyran assumed they could at the very least survive whatever was coming. However, it was not enough. The xenos overran the volcanic strongholds, slaughtering every inhabitant within, leaving only inorganic metal and apocalyptic logs in its wake. Even the planet’s ecosystem was not spared, the great menagerie of cephalopods that dominated Tyran’s oceans little more than calamari for the swarm’s hunger.

The ship containing Tyran’s few evacuees had made it as far as the edges of the Tyran system and was preparing to made the jump into Warp Space when the Warp Drive simply refused to start. Similarly, when the ship attempted to relay the situation to Tyran, all means of astropathic communication failed. It was as if, to quote the ship’s astropath, as if the shadow of a giant being had fallen across realspace, blotting out the Warp the like a cloud blocking the sun. When the Great Devourer fell upon Tyran, the only thing the ship could do was power down all systems and hope that they were too inconsequential to be of any notice. Boaz Kryptman and the other refugees got a first-hand look at their world’s destruction.

When the Imperial Navy finally arrived in response to the distress call sometime later, they searched the system but could find no trace of the force that had caused this destruction beyond the few terrified witnesses in the ships and whatever they could salvage from the volcanic mountain fortresses. And so, despite the nature of the catastrophe, the Imperium generally forgot about the destruction of Tyran over the next several years. The galaxy was a big place, and there were far stranger things out there than a planet being stripped of life.

There were less than 200 survivors, virtually all of them children, from a world of more than 15 million. The survivors were placed in the Schola Progenium, as they were nearly all orphans and there was nowhere else to put them. Over the years, the various survivors of the horror of Tyran gradually drifted apart from one another and went on with their lives. However, Kryptman would remain fixated, some would say obsessed, with the entity that destroyed his home.

Then, twenty years later, the Great Devourer resurfaced. Having fully assimilated the biomass of all the fringe worlds they had devoured, the Hive Fleet had recovered the reserves it had lost in the great journey between galaxies, and was ready to resume its mission of devouring all life in the galaxy once more. When the Great Devourer made its “official” appearance on the galactic stage in M37, almost no one had any idea how to deal with them. The Imperium was able to connect the tyranids to the genestealers fought in the Genestealer Wars nearly over half a millennium prior, but this did little good as the tyranids had a completely different modus operandi than the genestealers.

About the only half-decent idea of how to deal with the tyranids came from Boaz Kryptman, who was at this point a junior Inquisitor in the Ordo Xenos, in a plan which would later become known as the Kryptman Line. Planets that were predicted to be in the direct path of the tyranid Hive Fleet were evacuated with all haste, and the systems were left empty save for a single manned starship. When the hive ships moved in to eat the unguarded planets and the tyranids were finally committed, the ships would Exterminatus each of the planets in the solar system. Not only would the tyranids be unable to claim any biomass from the planet, but they would lose any biomass and energy they had expended while trying to feed, an overall loss for the Hive Mind.

The downside is that it meant that it meant leaving some poor souls alone, in a dead solar system with the tyranids, with no way to escape due to the Shadow in the Warp.

Although at first the plan proved successful, before long the tyranids learned to break the blockade by merely jumping two or three planets past the nearest life-bearing world and continue eating. Nevertheless, Behemoth expended enough biomass in its initial effort that its back was broken in a later engagement.

However, the costs of the Kryptman Line were high. It involved the utter destruction of numerous life-bearing worlds, a precious resource for the Imperium, and even with the most advanced terraforming methods available to it would take millennia before the Imperium could reclaim those worlds, if they could reclaim them at all. To this day there is an unnatural line of dead stars burned in the Segmentum Ultima by this plan. And even though tyranid-related casualties were (relatively) low due to mass evacuations, the Kryptman Line created a massive refugee crisis and the death of millions due to the ensuing famines and plagues.

Some hailed Kryptman as a hero for the Kryptman Line. Yes, the consequences of the Kryptman Line were horrific, they said, but it was the lesser of two evils, for if no one had come up with the Kryptman Line nothing would have stopped the Hive Fleet from simply snowballing and Behemoth would have been all but unstoppable. It is said that this praise broke Kryptman a little inside. He had condemned dozens of worlds to die, and here these people were calling him a hero? He considered himself eternally damned for having ever come up with the Kryptman Line, no better than the monsters that ate his world.

Kryptman’s other notable accomplishment, and the one that got him actually excommunicated, was Kryptman’s Gambit. When Leviathan, the last of the three great scouting fleets, appeared in the galactic South, the Hive Fleet’s erratic behavior was enough to make Kryptman take drastic action and use several captured genestealers as breadcrumbs to steer a significant portion of into the Ork empire of Octarius. The idea was to let the two groups fight it out and then Exterminatus the survivors before they could build a functioning space fleet. Things did not go to plan. Kryptman’s Gambit did have some measure of success in absorbing a significant portion of a Hive Fleet, but it also created a whole slew of new problems, including the “Bug Boyz” of Octarius.

To most, this was the point where Kryptman had gone too far. The Kryptman Line was controversial, but it had been the least horrible option available at the time and Kryptman had done it with the Imperium’s blessing and legions of grim statisticians on his side. This time, Kryptman had acted unilaterally and without warning or approval. Kryptman, to his credit, surrendered quietly and without issue when the Arbiters turned up with the handcuffs and a warrant with an Imperial seal on it.

Kryptman’s actions and excommunication presented an issue for the Imperium. On the one hand, it was clear that Kryptman could not be allowed to operate as a free action. However, he was simply too useful at killing tyranids to simply be gotten rid of. The solution the Imperium came up with was to put him in the jurisdiction of the Kryptman Institute, the Ordo Xenos group formed specifically to try and figure out how to take down the tyranids in the wake of the three scouting fleets. There, Kryptman could continue to research new ways to hunt and kill tyranids, but he would no longer have clearance to access any kind of Exterminatus weaponry, nor use it without the express approval of an Inqusitor of sound mind. The purpose of the Kryptman Institute is as much to keep Kryptman under control and as it is to fight the tyranids.

Kryptman isn't hugely clever, he isn't hugely charismatic, he isn't even a hugely dangerous combatant. But he is driven. He is driven like Konrad Curze was driven. He will make the Hive pay for what it took from him.

Under his commission poisons, diseases and strange alchemy have been concocted and although the Hive always adapts the toll before it does so is immense. No other mere mortal has hurt the Great Devourer quite as much as he has.

Kryptman has been taking every longevity treatment known to man and freezing himself between hive fleets. The Hive Mind is his white whale and he will chase it across the universe to the end of time and space. He is awoken when needed and preserved when not. As of 999.M41 he is very, very active. He is the spear tip slamming into the neck of the great beast. His dying day is close and he knows it, but he will make his passing be felt.

He is also insane. Simply put, he is bug-fuck, batshit insane.

He wears a helmet made of lictor skull, his robes and body armour are made of tyranid skin and chitin, his las-rifle and power sword handle inlaid with polished scrimshawed tyranid bone. He has tattoos depicting every splinter fleet he's responsible for killing. The ink is made in part from their blood. He also eats tyranid. With enough processing and preparation it is possible to destroy the spores and purge the biotoxins to make tyranid flesh safe to eat. He eats tyranid meat with the same ferocity that the Hive Mind devours worlds.

He thinks the Hive Mind is taunting him, once he realized the true nature of what the Swarmlord is. He claims the Swarmlord has started to recognize him, going so far as to claim that in one case it was laughing at him. These claims of anthropomorphism are more than likely all in his head do not help the case of Kryptman’s sanity.

Kryptman’s official kill count contains very little in terms of Orks, Dark Eldar, Rak’gol, or any other Xenos Horribilis, except when members of those species are fool enough to get in his way. Just lots and lots and lots of tyranids and their degenerate genestealer spawn. Kryptman is the bane of genestealer cults across half the galaxy. Genestealers are just human enough to feel fear, even if it is dampened by their connection to the Hive Mind. They fear Kryptman. If the Hive Mind had any sense of higher consciousness, it too would have reason to fear Kryptman.

Other people also fear Kryptman.

The Kryptman Institute as much a means to keep Kryptman under some measure of control as it is to fuck up the tyranids. His retinue are the only thing close to friends he has. To Kryptman, at least by this point in his life, the greatest virtue someone may possess is their ability to fuck up tyranids. He has hired and fought alongside allies as diverse as Hau-Yuan Exterminators, the Zoats, Shas’O “Shadosun” Shaserra, and Nemesor Zahndrekh. He considers his retinue friends because they do what they are told and they fuck up tyranids with him. They have other virtues and characteristics but those are all secondary unless they relate to making them better bug hunters.

But he does consider them friends, even if they only tolerate him. As he leap frogs through time all his friends are stolen from him by the Time Thief. They endure years that he does not and he is forced to outlive them. It is not a thing that makes him happy, but it must be done.

He blames their death on the Hive Mind too.

Kryptman has lived long enough to see the tyranid main fleet make galaxyfall, and see his previous efforts amount to spraying bugspray on an infestation. This has only encouraged him to fight harder, and if that does not succeed he will take as many tyranids as he can down with him, stabbing them until his last breath.

=== The Heartseeker ===

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' The Bane of the Swarm '''''

In the late 40th Millenium, when the Tyranid Hivefleets again scoured through the Eastern Fringe, one of the first star systems hit was Felusa, a tropical jungle world settled by mostly humans but still contained a sizable population of Kinebranches. The world was deemed to be indefensible, the Hivefleet at that point still far too coordinated and numerous to be intercepted, and thus a convoy fleet was sent to pick up the civillians and deny the Tyranids a star system.

Unfortunately, due to a freak warp storm the rescue convoy failed to arrive. Fortunately, the SOS signal was caught by none other than Lord Inquisitor Boaz Kryptmann.

Hearing their desperate pleas for aid, something relived within the old Inquisitor's mind. His memories of the day he lost his world and his family, and he ordered his ship to full spead ahead to Felusa, on his mouth a constant chanting of a mantra consisting off 'Tyran', 'Nids' and 'Never Again!'.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

When they arrived, it was almost too late: the paltry PDF was swatted aside by the sheer bulk of the Hivefleet, the survivors retreated to one last city, the swarm of chitinous flesh and blood tightening up the noose further and futher by every seconds. Even through his crazed, raging haze Kryptmann knew he was outnumbered, yet he was not one to give up so easily. Pulling an extremely risky manuever, he managed to land his ship right above the bunker, his crews and retinue frantically loaded and crammed up as many people as he could before high-tailing it to the outskirt of the system and activate their warp drive (but not before leaving behind a lot of nasty gifts for the tyranids.)

Out of the 20 thousands that they managed to save, there was a young Kinebranch by the name of Wu-Ko-Gu, son and apprentice to Forge Master Wu-Ko-Ga. As the old Forge Master laid dying in his son's arms, he taught him his last and greatest lesson: to forge a Kinebranch Cursed Blade.

As the ship fled for the star system's border, the Hivefleet hot their tail, Wu-Ko-Gu began forging. The fire of his anger became the forge's flame, fueled by the searing memories of his burning homeworld heating up the fragments of his father's adamantite anvil. Guided by the words of his dying father, his fists turned into adamantite, hammering down his fury and grief, molding the molten metal into a blade with mono-molecular precision. As the final strike came down, and the old Master breathed his last breath, but the blade was still unfinished. With his fingers he etched on the name of the blade -and his Grudge- in the traditional Kinebranch runic letters that glows red with fury and blue with grief for all to see - Heartseeker, the blade that shall be plunged into the Heart and Mind and the very Soul of the Swarm.

The sword was finished. The Apprentice, now the Master Smith, looked up and met the eyes of the Old Inquisitor, finding a kindred spirit. Both had lost everything dear to them, both harboured an insatiable grudge to the swarm. Ever since that day, the Smith found his destiny - to forge the blades that will hurt the Hivemind. He will make them feel what he felt; he will make them pay. And Kryptmann will lead him.

As of 999.M41 Wu-Ko-Gu is very old now. A Kinebranch usually live long but not this long. He had lived for more than 1000 years, his body is old and tired and his hands weary and shaky, yet from his forge still came out both the famed Kinebranch Cursed blades, and the Apprentices that will continue to carry on his Grudge far on into the Long Night. Until the day when the Swarm is finally laid low, he shall not rest and nor will his blades or those who wield them.

== Hammerhead Bill ==

His full name is an amalgamation of the varied life he has lived on the Path of the Outcast and later his solo Path of the Tank; Kaeseith-Forsan Bill Fio'La N'dras Naseur Romn'el av Alaitoc av Mymeara

Alaitoc is where he was born and whose strict demands and puritan adherence to The Path System encouraged him to run away. Originally he was supposed to be a Bone Singer, specializing in the repair and maintenance of the war vehicles. He was quite good at it. Problems arose when he wanted to start doing things to the wraith bone outer layer and making depictions of famous, possibly mythological, battles from the time of Eldernesh. He was given an ear chewing. He was not on the Path of the Artist, mixing Paths is degenerate.

Spent some time traveling the galaxy in his youth. Despite his parent worries he never felt drawn down dark paths.

Mymeara was where he tried to reintegrate to a less stringent interpretation of the Path. Tried to be a Seer. Was not particularly skilled at this and his teacher wasn't particularly brilliant at it either. On Mymeara he first encountered the Tau. He learned of their martial disciplines and asked if he could sign on as additional help to their Fire Caste soldiers.

He spent the next 50 years moving from one warzone to another. Started out as the gun loader of a Hammerhead. Eventually was given the driver seat. As time passed he moved up the ranks of his cadre, commanding from his now massively customized Hammerhead. Was very successful, in part due to his devastating war chariot, in part due to his now considerable experience and also in part due to his (stunted) precognitive abilities.

Grew bored of his new life, as eldar wanderers are prone to do.

Rather than lose him, the Tau Shas'O brass gave him his own semi-autonomous selection of semi-functional hover tanks. With some Mechanicus parts, some Tau technology and his old skills of a Bonesinger and a lot of manic laughter, he forged those wrecks into something terrible, and crewed them with the mad, the wise, the eccentric, and the insane.

No two tanks in his cadre are quite alike, no two crews ticking quite in sync with the rest of the Greater Good but Kaeseith-Forsan Bill Fio'La N'dras Naseur Romn'el av Alaitoc av Mymeara, or Hammerhead Bill as he has become known, has never been happier.

==Caerys of Yme-Loc==
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
Craftworld Yme-Loc was one of the first to set out from the decadent and depraved Eldar Empire. They saw it as sinful and knew that some god's judgment would find them. This makes them one of the few Craftworlds that didn't need Eldrad Ulthuran or equivalent, forgotten peer to persuade them to exodus the fuck out. They set out to find some vague and nebulous "Promised Land".

They were considered a strange breed by their fellow eldar. Not actually overtly hostile but very insular. They remained isolated from the Imperium and even the other craftworlds during their wandering days and as a smaller craftworld they could mover easier than many others and weren't afraid to travel by Warp with planning and preparation.

It wasn't until they settled down after becoming immobilized in a snowball orbiting Valhalla and had fought alongside the Valhallans that they started to talk to any outsiders. Even then they still only talked to the Valhallans rather than the rest of the Imperium whom they don't know and therefore don't trust.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Point is that by having relied on their own for so very long they trust and hold each other dear and tight because family is all to them.

Caelec goes wandering due to adolescent curiosity of the outside world and an attack dog of Khorne follows his mind-scent back and goes on a rampage down the craftworlds streets only being stopped when Yme-Loc's Avatar of Khaine wrestled it to the cobbles and tore it's heart out. Because he is family and it was a fuckup rather than an act of deliberate malice he is forgiven.

This shows the Shipwright Council of Yme-Loc two things. Firstly damn fucking right keeping the barricade up is a good idea. Did you see the fucking size of that thing holy shit lets never have another come through the door. Secondly it's advantageous to actually know what's out there and although their new neighbors have shared all they know Valhalla is still an out of the way agri-world and therefore might not know that much. It is decided that the craftworld needs it's own eyes and ears out in the greater Imperium so they can know what the fuck is going on.

To this end it was decided that Yme-Loc should only send it's best and brightest volunteers. As atonement Caelec was the first to step forwards. The Shipwright Council restated that they wanted the best and brightest volunteers and Caelec stepped back. Caelec's sister the accomplished seer Caerys steps forwards and tells the council that she has predicted that she steps forwards and they pick her as one to go beyond the barricades.

Caerys finds her services useful to the Imperial Guard who, by their nature, travel around a lot and so she acquires much information for her home. She also by her selfless service and usefulness makes a good impression for her craftworld. She finds herself being shunted from one regiment to another as the demand for seers greatly outweighs the number available and willing to do military service. Jumping from regiment to regiment eventually sees her attached to the Cadian 412th during the reconquest of Kronus. Due to the still precarious nature of the resettlement it was deemed prudent for her to remain there as another seer in addition to Colonel-Farseer Taldeer can only be a good thing. Taldeer and Caerys despite their differing origins get along like a house on fire and are about as dangerous to bystanders.

==The Carlos McConnell MegaCorp==

===Hortensia Zuriñe Joaquima McConnell, Commodore (retired)===

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

Born 547 years ago but due to time distortions of warp travel probably about 450. A hard woman that excelled in her career in the Imperial Navy and would almost certainly have made admiral in a few more decades. Extremely good at organizing the inner working of a large groups of people and extremely good at surrounding herself with people to delegate to on the principle that a strong leader knows how to use the strengths of others. Her ship, the ''Angel Ascending'', was immaculate and ran with great efficiency brought about by hard discipline. For this she was hated and loved by her crew in equal measure, on the one hand she made life hard but on the other hand it upped slightly the chances of survival. She demanded prayers once per day (god or religion irreverent so long as all ceremonies and rituals remained within regulations of acceptable behavior and piety was maintained), penalties for lack of punctuality were harsh, punishments for sloppy uniforms were severe, drinking alcohol or partaking of any other drug on her ship was a good way of getting a checkered shirt, gambling was illegal. She didn't much give a shit to the internal working of the other ships under her command, a ship flies as it captain dictates and so long as it performs to how she believed it should perform then she had no reason to care.

When her second cousin or some such died and the position of head of the family's business became vacant it was given to her at the overwhelming majority vote of the Inheritance Committee that was made up of the elders of the family branches. It takes a special kind of iron will and attitude to run a family and business like the mega-corp of Carlos-McConnell and they believed that she had the "cat-herding" skills to do it.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Hortensia McConnell had always put her duties to her family above duty to the military, the two up until that point having never come into conflict. It took two years under an interim chairman (one of her many great nephews) whilst she trained up a promising replacement, handed in her notice and settled any lingering business before she would come back home. There was mixed feeling among her crew, that she didn't feel the need to tell until a few days before; one the one hand she was as compassionate and flexible as a brick but on the other hand the ship had run to an almost inhuman smoothness. The officers did have an alcohol-free wine and cucumber sandwiches party to see her off that she attended so it wasn't like she was entirely hated.

The great multitude of greatly varying businesses operating under the authority of the Carlos McConnell name have under her command been shaken up drastically. For one thing great investment has been made in ships, specifically the new Tau Engines that are operating in the Eastern Fringe.

The thing is that as someone who, whilst not terribly high up in the Navy, knew a lot of people that knew a lot of shit and she always was the dependable, reliable up and coming brick. She knows that the Tyranids are coming, she knows that the orks are multiplying and amassing, she knows that the Chaos lunatics are setting forth once more from their dark places and she knows a shit load of other things are coming. She knows that it's all very nice and well for lucrative and profitable endeavors but survival is better than profit. There are going to be a lot of refugees soon, a lot of them and Navigators have always been the limiting factor on warp travel. Refugee convoys don't need to go fast when you have a rows and rows of cryo-coffins, you could even theoretically travel warpless in such a manner.

There was descent among the other branches and heads of the divisions and companies and she has taken the most trustworthy into her confidence and they started to get real fucking quiet when they learned the sheer size of the shit about to hit the fan.

The planet of Carlos McConnell always has substantial McConnell mega-corp assets in orbit by necessity and for convenience but now there seems to be more than ever, especially in terms of armaments and a new shipyard. The story given to the civilian government and the people in general is that the mega-corp is going into the arms business, always lucrative. Of course they don't need to know that if the wolves come to their door they will be geared up for a fight, there won't be a second Souring of Ornsworld, and if the worst does happen then at the very least they can evacuate enough to maintain continuity.

Of the woman herself in her role as head of the McConnell clan and the McConnell mega-corp what can be said? She's much as she was but without a ship, so long as her dictates are followed she doesn't much care for the fine details, unprofitable branches of the family are pruned and members of the house forcibly adopted by more successful branches whilst up and coming prodigies and new talent is encouraged and given resources. She demands punctual and detailed reports and has lashed out violently when things are intentionally omitted. Indeed bad news is far better than blindness to her and inflicted blindness is seen as a direct attack.

She has no children, she's too busy to start a family of her own but sees absolutely no problem in marrying off all young and single members of her house adventitiously. It is her duty to ensure the survival of her family so that she can drag the rest of her homeworld with them.

Her lifestyle hasn't noticeably changed, spartan Navy living remains despite Felinid cultural trends favoring the flaunting of wealth.

=== Tavares Lando Vicente McConnell ===

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

Hortensia Zuriñe Joaquima McConnell, current head of the family and family business and the businesses of the family of which she rules with an iron fist, gave the ancestral flagship to one of her more eccentric but easy to get a long with relatives, Tavares Lando Vicente McConnell. Tavares is easy extremely good at dealing with people, hosting parties and generally showing off the retail prowess of the mega-corp and would have been picked by the family elders to had to choose a successor to the previous McConnell he was second choice but never found out about this until after his distant cousin had already taken over. He feels that he dodged a bullet on that one because in the Traveling Court he has quite a lot of freedom and gets to meet lots of strange and interesting people and sell them stuff and actually gets paid to host big expensive parties, things he wouldn't get to do nearly as much stuck behind a desk on the old homeworld.

He's actually met the royal couple once.

As things stand he is quite glad to be nowhere near home at the moments because Hortensia is no fun to be around and is always business all the time.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

He comes off as a lazy playboy, but it's not that he's lazy as such. He gives the impression that he's lazy and he probably intends to be lazy but in fact to maintain his current lifestyle actually requires a surprising amount of effort, no least of which is checking his bed for scorpions and remembering not to eat anything he hasn't seen someone else take a slice of. It takes a lot of work to make it look like he doesn't do any work, a thing the people who want his job don't seem to realize.

Also fluency in High-Gothic. Most Felinids never bother to learn it simply because you can live your whole life dealing only with McConnell-Corp from accommodation to groceries and they all speak McConnell Low-Gothic (which is some god awful Gaelic-Spanish hybrid language). Tavares is fluent in High-Gothic to the point of not even having an accent anymore and is surprisingly well versed in classical literature and poetry.

==Ciaphas Cain==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' <s>HERO OF THE IMPERIUM</s> Chew Toy of the Universe: '''''

Cain still did many of the same things he is known for in canon. As of the last few decades his most recent assignment is to act as the ambassador from the greater Imperium to Craftworld Biel-Tan. This is less a permanent position and more like the latest clusterfuck Cain has found himself in his long history of clusterfucks. Ciaphas Cain and the Warriors of Biel-Tan, if you’d like. Jurgen is currently travelling as part of Inquisitor Amberly Vail’s retinue, since you would have to be crazy to take a blank onto a Craftworld full of psykers. Jurgen came to the attention of the Inquisition all on his own in this timeline, but Jurgen and Cain still end up working together quite often because Amberley likes to drag Cain along on her merry adventures and she never goes anywhere without Jurgen. Cain still ends up ploughing Amberley Vail after a joint eldar-human gene-stealer hunting trip and extermination campaign. Vail tends to spend way too much time around Biel-Tan than would be expected of an Inquisitor, though if asked she claims she was afraid Cain had gone native and it was her duty to remind him he was human.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Because Cain was unable to take Jurgen with him onto Biel-Tan, the job of ambassador's assistant is taken by Edmond Aldsworth, a prim and proper Alfred Pennyworth type person from the Scholar Progenium. Alfred was not in that most august of institutions learning to be a diplomat. He was in there learning to be a Storm Trooper. He has done work for the Inquisition and occasionally tells of some of the things he has done. Unbeknownst to Cain or most of Biel-Tan is that he used to do crazy shit like hunt dark Eldar slave takers through the underhives and eliminate ork kommandoz. He has in his closet a necklace of ork trigger finger bones that looks more like a bandolier. To everyone that works with him man and xeno he is just a neat man with grey hair and a fussy little moustache.

A large part of Ambassador Cain's job is to keep Biel-Tan calm to stop them from going all out total war and dragging the rest of the Imperium into conflicts it can't easily afford. Indeed, Cain’s strong sense of self-preservation in spite of his war record is probably one of the main reasons (besides fate’s sick sense of humor) he was assigned to Biel-Tan in the first place. The Biel-Tan autarchs are also old and wise enough to want some brakes on the war train, but they’re also smart enough to let Cain voice the unpopular opinion and take the blame for it. This venture is not helped at all by the presence of Abbess-General Miriam Cain, Ciaphas’ daughter with Jubblowski. Everyone assumes that Cain met Jubblowski at party and used his legendary charm to get into her bedroom. He did not. As slayer of a warboss, butcher of tyranids and general all around Hero of the Imperium his presence was requested/demanded by the Sororitas high ups.

Abbess-General Cain is a hardcore Katholian Sister of Battle that has close ties to a group of about ~150 Word Bearers or Word Bearer successor chapter whose fortress-monastery is in the same patch of the galaxy as Biel-Tan. Miriam Cain was directly responsible (first came to prominence?) for the victories against the ork horde of Warboss Fangjaw during his assault on Necromunda. Her rhetoric, promises of redemption and threats of retribution turned the gangers into a loose collection of ad hoc militias with her own soldiers acting as officers, advisors, tutors and commissars as needed. Of course she was also directly to blame for the sudden increase in competence of the gangers in Necromunda post-war but at least everyone was alive enough to bitch at her.

Years pass and Miriam Cain becomes Abbess-General Cain, and becomes leader of entire chapter of Word Bearers, some regiments of Imperial Army and a small fleet of ships tasked with patrolling section of space not far enough away from Biel-Tan for her father’s liking. Her military authority is derived from the second part of that title despite her standing in the Katholian Church due to the Imperium’s official ban on militarized religious institutions. A power armoured, foul mouthed, belligerent crusader who takes the existence of Orks as a personal insult. Refuses to use any equipment not made by an ordained tech-priest and sanctified. Willing to tolerate eldar and such xenos but won't use their stuff. Has a meat cleaver of power sword in one hand and plasma pistol in the other. Her physique is surprisingly short and broad given how tall her father is. She is not conventionally beautiful. Her face has seen too many blunt impacts to be pretty and her shoulders are too broad and her musculature too developed to be feminine, even compared to other Sisters of Battle.

The Eldar of Biel-Tan quite approve of her despite the fact that she has no real love for them. However, while Ciaphas Cain’s job is primarily to calm Biel-Tan down, Miriam Cain on the other hand spends all of her time bullying the Word Bearers she is assigned to into fighting harder and is more than willing to extend this into whipping Biel-Tan into a war-frenzy. This being Biel-Tan a lot of Miriam’s rhetoric resonates with them and it's incredibly easy to get them dreaming of conquest. This was perhaps at its worst after Dorhai’s failed assassination attempt on Jubblowski, which had both Miriam and Biel-Tan frothing at the mouth ready to declare holy war.

Ciaphas Cain and Miriam Cain do not get along. Despite it all he is proud of her.

Surprisingly, although seen as the glorified HERO OF THE IMPERIUM by many, nearly everyone who knows Ciaphas Cain on a personal level (including much of Biel-Tan) seems to be aware of the truth of Cain’s so-called cowardice except Cain himself. It is very hard for an outsider to keep a secret on a Craftworld full of psykers. Many of the youth of Biel-Tan who have had a glimpse into Cain’s mind are at first confused. The Imperium and the Craftworld elders described the Imperial diplomat was a great warrior, but this does not seem to be the mind of a great warrior. However, upon further reflection, many have had an epiphany over this apparent disconnect. Although Biel-Tan may be the most aggressive and warlike Craftworld, it’s unblooded youth are as afraid of death and war as anyone else. Yet here is this human, who despite accomplishing numerous heroic deeds and staring death in the face several times, is still just as terrified about the possibility of dying as the rest of them. Despite this when duty calls he still saddles up and heads out anyway. Cain is brave because of his fear, not in spite of it, and the fact that such a distinguished figure can still be afraid is a comforting thought to the untested youth of Biel-Tan. Some Biel-Tan youngbloods go so far as to say Ulthwé can go stuff all that rhetoric about the underhanded Creed being an autarch of humanity. It’s Cain, if anyone, who should be considered a human autarch.

Cain doesn't yet know about the [[Nobledark_Imperium_Imperial_Forces#The_Avatar_of_Biel-Tan|active Avatar]] underneath his feet. All he knows is that he was assigned to the diplomat to the most aggressive and warlike Craftworld who for some unknown reason got even more aggressive after his posting there, and chalks it up to the typical Cain luck. It will be an interesting day, to say the least, when Cain finds out about Khaine.

=== Edmond Aldsworth ===

Edmond Aldsworth started as many in the besieged Imperium as the child of dead officers, one among billions. Although the Imperium is not flawless by any measure one of the things it does do well is looking after it's own and the child Edmond found a home in the Schola Progenium of Mordia. He was a robust child with broad shoulders, very upright posture and features one might consider handsome in an aloof sort of way. He excelled in his studies in regards to language but mostly what he was good at was the application of violence which he did with a great level of precision. He was a very passable marksman who found the notion of "full-auto spray" upsetting on some level and much preferred to pick his targets carefully so as to conserve ammunition, incoming fire whipping and hissing around him he would stand unflappable carefully lining up a killing shot. He also excelled at knife-fighting and scrumball, or at least he would have excelled at scrumball had he been able to understand that "full contact sport" did not mean impromptu boxing match. Bare Knuckle Boxing being another sport he was proficient at.

In the end it was decided that he was too smart academically to be placed in the Storm Troopers but lacked the temperament for either the Arbiters or the Commissairiant and was destined for the Inquisitorial Soldier Pool.

In this capacity he made somewhat of a reputation for himself, being both smart and capable although his headstrong nature and tendency to be vocal when he believed his superiors in error ensured that he never made it past corporal. From age 18 to his 40s he served well and with some minor distinction bouncing from mission to mission, squad to squad. He was fluent in both the High Tongue of the Beil-Tan Eldar and in the crude tongue of Base Orkish alongside High Gothic and some level of competence in a few low gothics and with the work of the Inquisition being what it is the need for translators at every level of operation is always high.

He achieved notoriety in his mid to late 40s in the events of the 4th War for Armageddon when the local forces of the Inquisition were commandeered/donated for the increased need for the war effort in the emergency. By the time that Corporal Aldsworth and the hastily formed regiments he was part of arrived most of the planet was already serious trouble. His regimental Stormbird landing craft was shot two dozen miles beyond the walls of Hive Infernus and they lost half their number in the crash and the mad dash to relative safety. They met up with the other equally bedraggled Inquisition Regiments and the PDF who looked like they hadn't seen sleep in a week and a decent meal in a month. Half dead and totally exhausted they all fought bravely and with what cornered rat like defiance they still had but the futilely of it was plain. Infernus was lost and as the walls of the last sanctum were breached like rats they were indeed. Overlord von Strab had been for decades and maybe centuries appointing foppish dandy boys of his liking to positions of authority in the PDF and using the officer ranks as a social club for aristocrats with delusions of adequacy. When those wall broke it was a scene Corporal Aldsworth hoped never to see again in his lifetime. Masses of humanity climbing on each others backs to escape, the soldiers without direction as their cowardly masters fled, his own forces being forced to form an orderly retreat to the blessedly empty storm drains and trying in vain to herd the fear maddened few civilians to relative safety.

The day after that there was maybe half a regiment ad hoc of the best of the surviving PDF and elements of the Inquisition's forces exiting the storm drain by the banks of the river miles down-stream under cover of a moonless night. Never had Edmond known such shame to have survived when others had not. The Comms man of the PDF, carrying a back mounted and still miraculously working long range comm unit picked up intermittent transmissions from far off Hades Hive through the static and ork chatter and so with duty and survival on their minds they set off on the long, long march to Hades.

By great good fortune most of the Infernus survivors made it, even managing to absorb a few other survivors along the way and scrag a few ork patrols which did wonders for everyone's spirits in those dark and fearful months. Eventually they reached the hive, and as if divine providence it's gates had been cleared just that morning by Kill Krazii and other tribesmen of the Ashlands, with their ten thousand strong host the few hundred soldiers were unnoticed as they signed in.

The locals were manning the walls, a duty they had grown familiar with by now, and the Ashlanders were not used to warfare that was standing still or confined and so patrolled the highways and roads for orks that by strange contraptions made it over the walls. This left the tunnels beneath the city understaffed, but Edmond was a Mordian and so were many of his fellows, they knew of hives and darkness and tunnels and any sapper or Komando that though they were being kunnin' was going to find something unpleasant waiting for them.

It is unknown what happened to Corporal Edmond Aldsworth in that time. Reports diverge at this point. Some say he went feral, some say he finally broke inside, some say he made a deliberate moral stand and some say he genuinely did not receive the orders. All that is known is that when the war was officially declared over the Inquisition Soldiers were recalled. They knew he was alive mere hours before this order was given because his commanders had spoken to him over the radio but the withdrawal order was never followed and they couldn't wait for him forever, the war was never over somewhere else and local forces could keep a lid on the remnants in the underhives and the sump. But Aldsworth remained in the dark, they wouldn't listen to him. They hadn't seen the level of kunnin' that these greens were showing, uncommon for their kind. They couldn't see what he had seen, his dreams plagued by visions of what they would do if left to gather unobserved and reached the surface in any orderly manner. And so Aldsworth, soldier and renegade, stayed in the dark killing and killing for a very long time.

When he had gone down into the dark he had a necklace with a few ork trigger fingers hanging on it by the time he saw again daylight it was a bone bandolier with the beginnings of another one to cross it. and return to the light he had to. Time had not stood still and years had past, in the dark he was growing old, his hair was greying, his joints were aching more and more and one day he was just slightly too slow and took a knife to the torso for it. He bit that ork's throat out as it laughed and stoved it's head in with a broken manhole cover but the damage had been done, he knew a potentially mortal wound when he saw one and with sucking rasping breath and blood in his throat he lurched to find a way to the surface.

A sight he must have been, in ruined Inquisition armour, dark with grime and muck, stinking with the smell of the underhive and covered in bones and blood. A spectre of some unblessed grave it must have seemed for a moment, some pallid unarresting dead. He only vaguely remembered where the old hospital was from years ago when he still had friends and human contact and by good fortune he found it again now in some upmarket and high rent district.

Despite infections, poor diet, lack of sunlight and the cumulative effects of years of unkind treatment his body recovered although his mind would not heal. There was no possibility of the Inquisition taking him back; impressive as his accomplishments he had disobeyed orders and was never a model soldier to start with. In truth he would not have been able to. Down in the dark he could pretend he was already dead, his trials a time of proving before paradise or rebirth. But here, in the light, in the real world, it all came back to him. He was a person and all that had happened had happened. He could not go back to the war, the war at last had beaten him.

He lay in that bed, his guts held together with polymer thread, healing for no purpose he could see friendless and more alone than he had ever felt. And then a member of the Imperium's diplomatic corps, a branch of the Administratum, came to visit him. Reports on him and the things he had done had filtered up high, anomalous incidents tend to. They had read about what he had done, all that he had done, and knew what limbo he must be in. They told him that there were other ways to serve the Imperium besides the direct war effort. Humanity did not stand alone in the dark, it stood with friends, friends that had to be held on to. They wanted him to be that hand, who else than someone who had seen oblivion like he had done would understand the need of it? Also he spoke the Beil-Tan dialect of the High Tongue, which was advantageous.

And so Edmond Aldsworth, grey haired and full of hard won horrors, entered the service of the Imperiums diplomatic efforts and became the attaché to the ambassador of the Craftworld Beil-Tan, Beil-Tan accepted only veterans as representatives of the Imperium as anything else they found insulting. Having a man like Aldsworth at his right hand would only smooth things further. Also the position came with some rejuvenents, the elder didn't like it when staff changed too soon and his living for a long time would be an advantage.

The rejuvenants regained him some of his lost vitality and some measure of youth, side effect being that most of his remaining hair fell out, and he served the ambassador for many years until the ambassador retired and made way for Ambassador Ciaphas Cain of the Valhallans, Liberator of Perlia, slayer of orks, honorary Fire Warrior of the Tau, unspecified assistant to the Inquisition, frustrator of Chaos and killer of it's followers, exterminator of Tyranids, banisher of deamons and a hundred other accolades from across half the Imperium. Although initially only attached to the craftworld as a temporary measure temporary seems to be ever extending.

Attaché Aldsworth serves him as diligently as he served his old master, smoothing out the diplomatic process, interpreting and translating the more unusual colloquialisms of both languages and accompanying the good Ambassador on various planned and unplanned jaunts across Beil-Tans jurisdiction or at the behest of the Inquisition (who politely don't mention his presence if they can avoid it) and is a source of unflappable reliance and surety.

On the whole he has landed on his feet and he serves the Imperium to the best of his abilities, as he has always done.

== Aun'O Da ==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' The Great Philosopher: '''''

The origin of the Tau concept of a “Greater Good” can be traced back to a man named Aun’O Da (at least that is the translation in modern Tau), otherwise known as “the Great Philosopher”. Da was born during the Mont’au, in an age roughly analogous to the late middle ages of Earth. Da was a member of the calligrapher’s guild, acting as a court stenographer to one of the petty empires that controlled much of the river basins and fertile lands of T’au. Throughout his career, Da transcribed virtually every decision made by the emperor he served under, with his own annotations on its usefulness in addition to its effects on the populace, as well as all the commands made by previous emperors.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Unfortunately, the winds of political fortune change, and the emperor that Da served under was replaced by a new ruling family. The first thing the new emperor did is order the entire court of the previous emperor to be arrested and executed, feeling that they would be too sympathetic to the old order to be trustworthy. Like many others in the court, Da fled in political exile to the mountains in the desert on the outskirts of the empire. It was there, sitting in a desert cave musing over his old writings, that Da came to a sudden realization.

In Da’s mind, life was full of misery, often driven by the selfish ambitions of others. Yet when people set aside their individual ambitions to aid one another, not only did Tau’s grievances against Tau decrease, but it reduced the net misery of the universe in general. Da put these ideas in writing, in what would eventually become known as the first known version of the Tau’va, or “Greater Good” (perhaps most literally “spiritual good of Tau”, “va” meaning “that which benefits the spirit”, and “Tau” meaning, well, “Tau”). Much of this manuscript has been misinterpreted in the years since it was written, both by Imperials and Tau. Da did not say that Tau should not have individual goals, or take personal enjoyment in life. However, he did stress that when duty conflicted with personal goals, one was obligated to put duty first. Nor was there any mention of Tau superiority over other races, since at that time the Tau believed they were alone in the universe.

Da’s new ideas brought him numerous eager converts. In particular, eight of his brightest disciples, all of the calligrapher’s guild, were sent in pairs in the four cardinal directions of the compass, to bring the word of the Greater Good to the general public. Da did not live to see T’au unified, he was already an old man when he came up with his ideas, but he did live long enough to see the old empire where he once served come to embrace the Tau’va. And yet the campaign continued onward. In a watershed moment in M37, two of Da’s disciples were able to broker a peace treaty between the plains barbarians and the fortress city of Fio’taun. This event essentially signified that the ideology of the Tau’va was going to become the dominant force on the planet of T’au.

As the Tau’va became the dominant ideology among the people of T’au, so did the students of Da become rulers in their own right. This led to the development of the traditional Tau caste system, and the taboo of fraternization between the castes. The warriors and plains barbarians became the Fire Caste, the merchants became the Water Caste, the workers and peasants became the Earth Caste, and the messengers and rangers became the Air Caste. The scribes and scholars, particularly the disciples of Da, already somewhat detached from the physical world, became the Ethereals. The Tau caste system was less about bringing order to the people of T’au, and more about codifying a system where the disciples of Da and their descendants were always at the top of the socio-political heap. Da would not have been happy if he could have seen this. Thankfully, the Ethereals tend to rule as some sort of bizarre combination of theocrats and philosopher-kings, utterly ascetic and with little desire to abuse their power yet haughty and loathe to social change.

However, now the revolution has come full circle. Now it is the Ethereals who represent the old establishment, rather than the bright-eyed young revolutionaries with new ideas, and they know it. It remains to be seen whether the Ethereals will be able to reform themselves to keep up with the evolving Tau Empire, or whether the Tau Empire will undergo a change into a new form of government for a new era.

== Eldrad Ulthran ==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' The Greatest of Farseers: '''''

The date of birth of Eldrad Ulthran is an event lost to time. Assumed to have been born at most a few thousand years before [[Fall of the Eldar|The Fall]] the ancient [[Farseer]] would have been considered old even as the [[Eldar]] Empire died. There are few (if any) surviving records of his early life, and his memory is fragmented at best.

The loss of memory may have been a result of The Fall breaking his mind, a broken mind would explain many of his later antics, or it could simply be caused by living longer than any other biological eldar. His longevity is assumed to not be natural as an unaltered eldar will live for just under two thousand years and even with the best of post-Fall longevity treatments will struggle to reach five thousand. Eldrad is assumed to be potentially three times the upper limit of known eldar longevity treatments. He is therefore either some sort of mutant or the result of now forgotten and lost medical intervention of the Old Empire. He is long lived but he is not immortal. By the dying of the Dark Millennium his skeleton has crystallized, his face is lined, his eyes grow dim and his hair is white.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

His earliest coherent memories are trying to warn the general populace of the Home Worlds of the Old Empire to their dangerous folly. By that time they were either too far gone to care or skeptical of his claims. He has memories of trying to organize evacuation fleets and calling in the favours and offering favours to the trader captains to help. The names of the captains, the names of their ships and their faces have dimmed and faded with time. It is possible that they were the origins of many of the [[Craftworld|craftworlds]], but now none will know for sure. It was not a time that records survived well.

With his precognitive prowess he felt the shape of something not unlike the Old Empire rising up across the galaxy but not of his kin. A god but a mortal made of gold and gold did not rust.

Every rune cast, every vision from meditation showed that the remnants of the eldar people would in time come to blows with the men of Earth. Without their gods save murderer and trickster his people would lose their wisdom, what little of it they still had. They would declare war upon the men of Earth and great slaughter would be had. Peace would be impossible.

They needed their gods back. Of them the Harlequins sang only one other yet lived and then in captivity and that rescue would always be impossible.

This declaration of impossibility did not sit well with the old Farseer. The eldar people had gone through too much, survived too much, to be driven to either madness or extinction. For one who dealt with the sliding scale of probability and the twisting threads of possibility it is possible that he saw this great wall as a personal insult and his mind started to wander down stranger paths.

Under normal circumstances none of the eldar people would have dreamed of seeking the aid of the lesser races but these were far from normal times.

And so it was that Eldrad found an unlikely ally, himself a relic from a broken empire whose people had been brought low. For the first time that he could remember the old Farseer felt something approaching a sense of family unlikely as that seemed with the great golden eyed giant.

The greatest warriors of the eldar were assembled and it’s most powerful seers and warlocks and the humans, as he learned his new friends were called, did the same. With great effort and a derelict and unstable webway gate they tore the veil of reality asunder and the human exarch “space marines” and the young Phoenix Lords charged into the very depths of Hell in the wake of the giant called Steward.

Of what they saw in that place none would tell Eldrad though of those that returned all now had the eyes of people who had seen too much and could never look away again. And for an instant, just for an instant, as they stepped back into the world of the living there stood the mother of all eldar for the last time and first time in possibly millions of years. Just for an instant in the flesh and all who beheld her in that moment knew new hope for salvation.

Soon arose again the Priesthood of Isha, the daughters of the Mother, Her disciples and from their venerated ranks the one known as Macha rose to prominence and earned herself the honour of being the avatar of her patron in the world of the living. Eldrad recognized the one known as Macha for she was old and also a survivor of the fall but he could not name her or recall her face. He suspected she was distant kin but she did not carry the name of Ulthran, none besides Eldrad in that time did.

The thread of the eldar people was strengthened and as he looked upon and forwards through the skein of fate the thread would be strengthened still further by being interwoven with that of the men of Earth. So it came to pass that the radiant High Priestess of Isha and the Steward were joined as husband and wife to formalize the union of man and eldar and the protection and inclusion of the true eldar people into the Imperium.

But the theft of Isha had insulted the gods and they were out for blood. Eldrad, as the being who had put forth that plan, felt more than a little responsible. Possibly it was this sense of responsibility that made him refuse to suggest to the craftworlders that they run and let the humans die in their place, perhaps it was the knowledge that the gods would never stop hunting them, perhaps it was that he saw this conflict as a trial by fire for their new Imperium or perhaps he was much like his own people now were. They were no longer a ragged band of refugees surviving off of scraps salvaged from a burned down home, they were Eldar once more. The galaxy had bent to their will once and some stupid upstart gods were now challenging them? They were not so weak as to cower now. Eldar and men were building the galaxy anew. Mortal hands and hearts and heads held high and what mortals had wrought no god would tear asunder.

And so it was that eldar blades met the blades of the enemy and Eldrad was aghast to find that the hands that held those daemon blades were not unlike his own. His fallen people, the ones who danced and sang as trillions died and reveled in the debauchery even to the screams of the dying and the damned still lived, if one could even call it living.

It was with heavy heart that the old farseer fled the Gate Worlds of Cadia and Ulthwe and for many a century to come his kin and kind word decried him a coward and a scoundrel. But the flight of Eldrad to Old Earth, although one of desperation, was not one of cowardice and if any emotion at all still beat in that cold grey heart it was wrath.

Eldrad had looked upon the threads of fate as they shifted and saw one thin strand that led to a lasting hope of victory for his peoples. Just one. He needed to be on Old Earth. He didn't know why but the only way for all to survive was for him to be where that hammer was coming down hardest. Even so it was a hard thing to do. Time has weathered their faces and names but he did now have children of his own upon fair Ulthwe. Their names have gone unremembered, their souls never made it to the Infinity Circuit and ever afterwards long past the point when their faces became blurred and forgotten he knew he had left them to die and worse and he cursed himself for it.

It was a maddening time in Imperial Palace. Eldrad's small ship was shot down by the invading forces and it not so much landed in the Imperial Gardens as crashed. Greenskinned brutes occupied by that point the majority of the Earth's surface, great swathes of the population were slain and they didn't look to be slowing down. In truth the forces mustered against basic sanity on Earth put the forces leveled against the home he had abandoned to shame. But this was Old Earth, keystone of a new Imperium, it's walls were so much higher.

To Eldrad's relief the Steward knew of the Crone World Eldar, his own court seer Red Magnus having divined their presence. But Red Magnus was young. Brilliant but young. Eldrad was old and even then in relative youth none were his equal and he was at the center of the storm. The heart of the web where all the strings met, Chaos had hounded him but he was now right where he needed to be and the manic grin on his face and the fire in his eyes was terrible to behold.

Forces were redeployed and moved under cover of darkness and smoke and illusion, slight of hand was played at an insane level, misdirection and the subtle knife between ribs cost the orks and their puppeteers a heavy price as the line was held with one hand and the knife shoved in the back and twisted with the other. The war had just gotten serious, the Crone Worlders were going to have to work for it and come down and fight for themselves if they wanted this victory.

They tried several times to teleport into the Imperial Palace as its shields weakened, a fact that the turned out to be a trap and all their assassins and berserkers were caught in a withering hail of bolter fire. They tried air dropping Kommandoes and Stalkers and Mandrakes only to find that the Harlequins had been loitering in the place for months waiting for them. They tried digging in with great rock crunching maworms and Digga Krewz and stranger things that slipped between the rocks like impossible smoke. They encountered Magnus' daemons. It is probably better not to know what he did to them though they were never seen again.

In the end the Palace would have to be taken the Orky way with a mass charge. Here was where the Beast approached.

For all his cunning Eldrad had only so many pieces on the board and misdirection and prescience could only stretch that so far. The thin red line before the Eternity Gate was thin and he knew it and they knew it and he knew that they knew it and they knew that he knew that they knew it and they savored his desperation.

For all that the Beast approached he could not withdraw soldiers for other fortifications. Every time he was about to do so he felt the thin strand they all hung by snapping. The Beast had to attack the Eternity Gates and he could offer no help to stop it. Thrice he had to hold the Steward back for rushing to the gate to lend his prodigious strength. The Steward was needed right where he was. No one man could direct the forces across an entire planet and Eldrad knew the Steward would be drowned if left to it on his own.

The calls for aid coming from the gate became shouts of defiance as the defenders made their last stand. The Steward was almost in tears, of all the beings in his Imperium few were friends and one was about to die and he was letting it happen. When the transmissions went quiet so did the Steward. Cold and quiet and very, very still.

Sporadic fire could be heard getting closer and the footsteps of doom like war drums or twin hearts getting closer.

When the Beast finally smashed and tore the armored door out of the Throne Room he did not find a selection of cowering generals and fleeing strategists. What he found was an angry Man of Gold cannoning into his face at a flat trajectory like a murder tipped missile.

It was a hard fight. Perhaps the most brutal and savage that there ever was. The Steward was a Man of Gold, a relic from a lost era when men were as gods. Eldrad was a primordial eldar born at the height of their kind and carrying the flame of it like an inferno. But for all that the Beast was The Beast. Empowered by gods too terrible to contemplate and mighty beyond measure. Later tales will tell of how the fight lasted a day and a night but they are almost certainly lies although the old Farseer as he danced and struck had lost all notion of time.

Fists that could break buildings impacted on the Green Menace that responded in turn with blows that could fell baneblades. Had The Beast been able to concentrate on a single target it would all of been over. He was too durable, too strong and for a creature of such mass hellishly fast and seemingly tireless. The Steward was also seemingly incapable of tiring but Eldrad was beginning to weary. Days upon days of constant battle and sifting through fates trying to divine the least awful were taking their toll. He would tire and then he would die and then the Steward would die and then his Imperium would die and his own people right along with it. It seemed as unstoppable as tide and time.

And then the Farseer noticed an out of place thing buried in the Beast's chest. A broken sword blade that must once of been of elegant design.

With the last of his strength the farseer channeled his fire and his lightning into that blade and grasped it in his mind and drove it deep into the Beast's chest and twisted. The Beast collapsed in agony, spasming on the floor as the agony wracked him, and the Steward joined his psychic might with the old farseer. Together, they looked over the Beast as it fell and stared it straight in the eye, twisting the blade until the struggling stopped and all that was left in that monsters chest was broken up charcoal.

Exhausted the farseer fell to his knees. The last thing he saw before the darkness overtook him was the Steward holding the remains of what had once been an angel. The worst of the fighting on Old Earth was well over when Eldrad awoke once more.

The war was far from over, but the back of it had been broken.

Eldrad returned to his people, much to their annoyance. It was a long time before they would forgive him for abandoning them, although those in authority knew his reason well enough.

== Freki and Geri ==

Geri was one of [[Nobledark_Imperium_Primarchs#Leman_Russ|Russ]]’ many daughters with Linnea, known for her huge appetite and gluttonous habits. When Russ began his secret experiments on [[Nobledark_Imperium_Notable_Planets#Fenris|Fenris]] to improve the success rate of the Canis Helix Geri and her lover, Freki, were some of the few non-Fenrisians who applied, determined to make Russ proud. Geri had complete faith in her father’s abilities. Even when the two of [[Nobledark_Imperium_Xenos#Fenrisian_Wolves|turned into monsters]], albeit stable ones, and the other Fenrisian wolves who were able to walk broke free and escaped into the snows of Fenris, Freki and Geri loyally remained in their pens, their faith in her father never wavering. Their faith proved true. While Russ was willing to euthanize those who had non-functioning lungs, tumor-filled jaws, or mutated to have multiple limbs, he could not bear to kill his daughter.

According to the official records, Freki and Geri “died” from a troll attack on the snows of Fenris. The two truck-sized Fenrisian wolves that followed Leman around after that were named after them in their honor. Linnea, well, she knew the truth. She could never really fully forgive Russ for what happened and to his credit Russ never tried to justify his actions.

ANON:Was thinking either the two of them followed Leman out into the snow when he disappeared, or they died during the Battle of the Fang.

== Fyodor Karamazov ==

Fyodor Karamazov, the Despoiler, the High Proctor of Salem, or more commonly as the Butcher of a Thousand Worlds is a man whose name is whispered in hushed tone across a million worlds, and rightfully so.

His career had been a legendary one, his mind, charm, determination and zeal rivaling even that of the great Sebastian Thor himself, with him rising from a small Arbiter in the middle of nowhere to an Inquisitor of Ordo Malleus and then, for a short time, the High Lord Inquisitor during the 12th Black Crusade over his specialty in spotting heretics and cultists. But still, however great his mind and wit, his paranoia and psychopathic tendencies dwarf them all, rivaling even those of the Primarch Perturabo. Still, however brutal his deeds were, they bring results and with extreme bitterness did the Emperor allowed him the free rein to do what ever he willed to keep the Imperium intact from the Black Crusade. And thus, on his Throne of Judgement Fyodor crusaded across the millions of planet of the Imperium, leaving alive no heretics nor cultists in his wake - for all he suspected, he burns and his paranoia is great indeed.

He is also said to be a psychopath that enjoys the suffering of people, the smell of burning flesh and snatching candies from babies. Fortunately, only two of those facts are likely to be true.

However, as expected, power corrupts, and the greater the power the greater the corruption. It is unknown where and how did he begin to fall, but it is undeniable that it was seeded with his deep paranoia, and was completely undeniable at what was known later as the Salem Witch Trial, where he condemned Saint Salem and her crusaders who had liberated an entire system and the people who were liberated as heretics and witches and committed Exterminatus on every last planet in the system and all those nearby. The Emperor, as expected, when heard of this had flipped his lid in pure rage and ordered Ordo Sicarius to get Fyodor, allowing them to use whatever resource needed (and may be more) to get it done. Burning innocents, that ''may'' be slightly acceptable in the direst of circumstances (which the 12th Black Crusade was, to the eternal grievance of the Emperor) but ''that'' many for no reason? On an individual basis? Some could have wondered why hadn't the Emperor went after the now-sacked-and-put-on-most-wanted-list-High Lord himself if not for the event that had transpired next.

Fyodor, even before becoming an Inquisitor, had secretly viewed the Imperium as being too soft and was determined to 'fix' it. He, with his unparalleled charm had won over (and built his power base on) the more orthodox factions of the Inquisition, with many if not most monodominants being members of the upcoming Coup and Inquisitorial Civil War (which he called the Crusade of Change) that aims to bring the Imperium to his wanted direction.

Now, at the end of the 41st millennium, in the heart of the 13th Black Crusade, the tyranid invasion, and the Fifth Armageddon War, the dreaded man is at the head of the dreaded Judgemental Crusade Fleet, burning and enslaving all in his way and waging a shadow war against the Emperor and the Inquisition. Despite the best efforts of the Imperium, he is yet to be caught, for his fleet is equipped with some kind of 'experimental' Warp Drive capable of achieving speeds twice as fast as that of the fastest Imperium craft (the design was scrapped because it required people to be burned, but Karamazov has people to burn in abundance) and armed with weaponries and equipment never seen before outside the halls of the Inquisition... the future seems dark indeed.

''"I will repeat this for the one last time: that thing is no man but a vile Genestealer infiltrating our ranks that. Needs. To. Be. Purged!"''<br>
-Inquisitor [[Nobledark_Imperium_Notable_People#Boaz_Kryptman|Boaz Kryptman]] on Fyodor Karamazov to the High Council, one year before the Salem Witch Trial.

==Ex-Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn==

Gregor Eisenhorn is perhaps one of the most hated renegades in the Imperium who hasn't officially thrown in their lot with Chaos. Once a respected Inquisitor Eisenhorn fell from grace via small steps making metaphorical and literal deals with devils and dabbling in the darker parts of daemon-lore. Even the Daemon Breakers hate him, he's too friendly with things from the other side for their taste. Eisenhorn had the book thrown at him even harder than Kryptman, Kryptman merely had his Inquisitor status revoked so he couldn't unilaterally Exterminatus whenever he felt necessary and was still considered a useful if unstable asset by the Imperium. Eisenhorn has had his Inquisition status officially revoked and actual wanted posters issues, not that this even slowed him down.

The reason for Eisenhorn’s fall was remarkably simple and remarkably subtle. Curiosity. Simply a little bit of curiosity. Surely there is nothing wrong with learning excessive amounts of daemon-lore. The Grey Knights all do and they seem pretty on the ball. And surely it can't be too bad to put all this sorcery into practice in extreme circumstances to prevent something worse, it's not unprecedented. And it's obviously better to have Cherubael bound into a dead cultist than wandering around free doing God knows what, it is the job of the Inquisition to frustrate the forces of Chaos after all. And if Cherubael is bound and hanging around he may as well make himself useful. Nothing wrong with that, it's like watching a wasp land on a nettle. Someone’s going to get stung and it's no great sorrow who.

Next thing you know you’re running through the mid-hive jumping from moving train to moving train with a daemon close behind you as your only friend, a stack of stolen forbidden text transcripts in an asbestos back pack with the Arbiters sirens getting closer whilst you mumble through a mantra of dimensional twisting in the Unwords of the Black Sun because the customs inspector at the space port is a retired Space Marine you once knew and he slapped the panic the moment you got off the shuttle.

And this is by far not the first time that this has happened. All you can be grateful for is that this time you aren't a Night Lord Neophyte training exercise.

It's also worth noting that he is hated by everyone.

Chaos hate him because he enslaves daemons to do his will against their own desires and keeps using them to fuck up Chaos cults.

The Inquisition hates him because of all the shady shit he did that came to light at his trial in absentia on top of his summoning and binding of daemons.

The Daemon Breakers hate him because he's summoning daemons for help rather than banishing and/or killing them. Also he destroyed a book they wanted (the Necroteuch), the only other copy of which is in the Black Library.

The eldar hate him because he stinks of Chaos and need no other reason to shoot on sight.

But for all that it seems that Eisenhorn is still "loyal" to the Imperium in his own mind. He runs from Imperial forces thrown at him if he can rather than fighting and only intentionally targets Chaotic forces. He is in effect a Chaos Sorcerer albeit one with good intentions. His only saving grace is that he is a lot more trouble to Chaos than the Imperium.

He never intended to be this way. He is on this path because he made one well intentioned decision, carefully considered and in isolation one bad choice after another. Now he's nearly 500 years old, has no friends, and is on the run from everybody with Cherubael as his only company.

==Gutsmek Wazdakka==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' The Webway Rider '''''

Gutsmek Wazdakka began life as but a simple Mek and Speed Freak, tearing about the galaxy on his kustom warbike under one Warboss or another or none at all, upgrading his bike and getting into fights, and he was content.

Then, while chasing a retreating Eldar kill-team, he somehow managed to chase them into the Webway itself. He chased them down, killed them, then looked around and realized he had no idea where he was and no idea how to get back.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

For over a year he rampaged around inside the Webway, getting into fights with with Craftworlders and Croneworlders and Dark Eldar and Inquisitors, somehow always managing to evade pursuit, vanishing into the most tangled and gnarled parts of the Webway. It took him a year to find his way back out, winding up on the Ork-held world of Vesp Vi.

When he came out, he was an Ork changed- an Ork inspired. He had seen, in the Webway, his vision of a perfect battleground, of Kults of Speed tearing their way from one end of the galaxy to the other without once having to slow down. He promptly sought out the nearest Kult and challenged their Warboss to a battle for supremacy. The Warboss was bigger, but Wazdakka had the better bike and a holy vision, and when the dust settled he was Warboss Gutzmek Wazdakka. He promptly led his new warband right back into the Webway, trusting in the whims of fate and the will of Gork and Mork to lead him to the next fight.

The method and degree by which Wazdakka navigates the Webway is disputed. At first, it was suspected he was getting by on blind luck, but this seemed increasingly improbable as his rampage continued. Some suspect he is a latent Weirdboy on top of being a Mek, and uses some sort of subconscious psychic talent to navigate. Others believe that Gork and Mork are in fact leading him to good fights. A few suspect he is subtly empowered by Chaos, probably Tzeentch. Some even whisper that he is guided by the subtle hand of Cegorach, shaping Wazdakka and his WAAAGH into a weapon to be rammed into the rotting heart of Commorragh.

Whatever the case, he is a consistent thorn in the Imperium's side. Although his WAAAGHs have been defeated on multiple occasions, each time Wazdakka has escaped, popping back up on the closest Ork world to raise another horde so he can have another go. His astonishing good luck in survival is yet another mystery, one that lends further credence to the idea that he is somehow aided by a higher power. Worse, other Orks have occasionally been finding their way into the Webway independent of Wazdakka's guidance, apparently simply drawn by the WAAAGH energy of his Webway Wars. Only a few, but the number seems to be increasing.

The Imperium's sole consolation is that Wazdakka poses as much a threat to their enemies as to them, with entire Dark Eldar Kabals or Croneworld slaughter-parties wiped out to the last man when they had the misfortune to stumble across his warbands. However, this is small consolation in the face of his raids against Imperial worlds, Exodite worlds, and occasionally even minor Craftworlds.

As the failed assassination attempts pile up and the galaxy grinds closer to its final cataclysm, it seems likely that Warboss Gutsmek Wazdakka will have some role to play in the confrontation- but what, nobody can say. At least, nobody willing to talk comprehensibly.

==The High Lords of Terra==

=== Spokesman for the Collective Synod of the Imperium Walden of the Aaldenbergs ===

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

Walden of the Aaldenbergs started his ecclesiastical vocation as the acolyte of Hahn of the Aaldenbergs, priest of the old gods, slayer of orks, caller of lightning, forger of blades and all over aging and highly accomplished strong man of the tribe. He was a mere twelve standard years old when he decided that this was what he wanted to do with his life although that his two older brothers had already been earmarked for future leader of Old Mountain tribe and sent off to the army it could be argued that there wasn't much else besides the priesthood for the third son of village chief to do. Not that he resented his lot in life, not by a long way.

He was possessed even in early age of a powerful intellect that suffered only slightly from overly straight line thinking and somewhat Dornian bluntness. As he grew up in the teachings of the faith he learned deep of the gods of blood and wood and bone and ash. He learned the names of the spirits of the deep forest where not even orks would grow and at the tender age of 15 survived the trip from the wooded foothills into the sunless heartlands by the rivers where the trees grow a mile tall. There he met the gods, he claims, though he will not say what they said to him. The gods of catachan can impart wisdom and purpose and those that would speak with them might return changed for the better or driven mad or not at all.

Young Walden came back more driven than ever, a thing old Hahn approved of greatly.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

But the place of a mere village priest was not, he felt, the place where he was needed most. Catachan's children were abroad among the stars and far from home as they were they needed a priest to keep them from becoming lost. It was with heavy hearts that the old chief and his family said fare well to their son and with some annoyance mingling with the pride that Hahn would look for another apprentice.

Walden was now a Chaplain of the Imperial Army attached to the Catachan "Green Specters" 943rd.

There he stayed for a very long time, tending the spiritual needs of his militant and inter-tribal congregation, his crozier was six foot of thornbirch with a stylized shock-maul built into the end and his vestments were a cassock made of kevlar. His regiment were known for their discretion, for the art of killing without being seen; he was not.

His followers found him of much use for the drawing of fire and attention and flushing out of targets that they could then claim. How, some would ask, would he survive more than a few missions? His gods had shown him where and to approximately when he would die in the natural course of things. Although it didn't make him invulnerable and he was never foolish enough to put them to the test outright it did allow him to move with a degree of confidence unmatched by his peers. To the Catachan, from his highest officers to the lowliest of grunts, he was inspirational.

He was also shrewd and it was for this that he started to come to the attention of higher authorities.

By the time his hair was turning grey he was attached as an advisor to Lady General Heilwig of the Uhulis Sector after the events of Velgagrad defense from the Space Hulk Da Iron Wurm and it's cargo of murderous orks. Although he was reluctant to leave his position, as the spiritual health of his fellow countrymen would be at risk until a replacement arrived, he could also see the greeter need that Lady General Heilwig had of her. The Lady General was of Krieg with all the problems that it brings with it. She was brilliant in her way and one of the few in ten millennium to achieve such rank from her world but she was still deeply flawed as a human being, her saving grace being that she knew how flawed she was. She needed someone capable of understanding the human needs and wants of those under her command and blunt enough to communicate it to her effectively. It also helped that Priest Walden was also versed in numerous languages including base-orkish

At this point Walden of the increasingly distant but not forgotten Aaldenbergs started on the rejuvenants and his apparent physical age stopped in mid forties, though in vitality and capability he regained some lost ground. It was in the following years that he truly showed his worth to the Imperium and his powerful and direct intellect was truly allowed to show.

In an empire as broad as the Imperium with a million worlds and a hundred times that many religious faiths and distinct cultures conflicts were inevitable. As a mediator between these factions Walden was peerless. He was a priestly man but he was also a soldier, he was scholar but he was also a man of the trenches, he was an officer but he was also not. Also his gods did not encourage or forbid much strictly and were so unheard of outside of the Catachans that nobody had a grievance with them. Where once had been division he brought a wary unity.

It's hard to say if he became friends with Lady General Heilwig. As a Krieger and one who had seen some horrific things she was maybe too damaged to make friends. It is known that she valued the strange Catachan man greatly. There was nobody she enjoyed arguing with more and nobody she listened to closer.

He served in this capacity for nearly seventy years until a Mandrake killed his Lady General and took her severed head. After that he felt he couldn't serve another, the pain of it was too close. He also felt by then that he had forgotten his roots somewhat and needed to be a priest again rather than a generals assistant. He didn't know what gods, if any, lived on Krieg but he gave her the Catachan burial rites and fuck any god that objected.

No sooner had he packed his bags and booked passage on a ship traveling somewhere near Catachan Space did he receive a great surprise; a letter from Old Earth demanding his presence before the Collective Synod.

The Collective Synod had, for the thirty or forty years previous, been going through a tumultuous and uncertain time. Due to the advancing ages of quite a lot of the heads and representatives of the faiths there had been delays on decision making and the voting of a new spokesman since the last one died. To this end, with Walden being of sound mind and body, centuries the junior of many and accomplished and proven capable his name had been put forth to represent the voice of the Imperium's people to the High Lords on matters of faith.

Also, they assumed, some yokel village priest from Catachan with no real power would cause them no problems and be easy to remove should the need ever arise. They were not quite right about that. Walden proved initially very unpopular, too connected to remove and seemingly unkillable.

And so by the closing of the year 999.M41 the Collective Synod endures under the less then gentle ministrations of Spokesman Father Walden von Aaldenbergs. For all that they might grumble the old men and women of the Synod have never functioned so well. It takes a special mind to organize such a fractious and mutually hostile bunch of people and by great good fortune they have one and they have nobody else to blame.

As the time of trials grows closer, prophesies are fulfilled and the Imperium is whipped into a religious fervor as the faithful rise up to meet Judgment Day. It is by the efforts of the Synod that the passion is set to the long simmer rather than the full boil and made manageable and it is the direction of Walden that is is done so.

Of the man himself? He is not where he saw himself, those many years ago at the foot of Old Mountain, but the gods work in mysterious ways. Especially Catachan one, bastards as they all are.

=== The Speaker for the Merchant Navy and Rogue Traders Abdul Golberg ===

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

The current representative of the Merchant Fleet is a Tallarn. Ot at least very strongly Tallarn influenced. Rumors abound about him. He is not the least known of the High Lords. In fact he his the most known and everyone has extensive information on him, sadly quite a lot of the information everyone has is contradictory.

His mother was Tallarn, that is almost certain. A beautiful princess of one of the city-kings most suggest although which of the grey-haired old women he has as advisors is his mother he will not say and neither will they. His father less is known about other than was an inter-stellar trader. He was of the Goldberg family, a trader dynasty on hard times somewhat reversed in recent years and as such beneath the notice or care of the other old-blood families.

One of his eyes is green and the other is yellow and nobody is sure which is the artificial/graft one. One rumour has it that his father was a Fenrisian tradesman from one of the younger colony worlds, yellow is a "normal" eye colour for those people. Some say his princess mother was married off to his father to secure an off-world trade contract, others that she ran away with him for adventure among the stars. Or the yellow is a graft and the green one is natural, green is an extremely common eye colour on Tallarn.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Others say that he isn't Tallarn at all but from one of the Seven Sanctuary Cities of Nocturne. Certainly he in fluent in the City-Nocturne language, among about a hundred other languages, and is well versed in the Promethean Creed though he does not follow it.

The Writ of Trade he carries the Emperor remembers signing twelve and a half years after the Unification of Sol officially became the Great Crusade. It was to a man called Horatio Jeffers of Gredbritton, which is not to say that the family hasn't legally changed it's name at some point down the long years or indeed it could have passed to another family perfectly legally.

Of the man himself? He is a family man, that is known. He has at least one wife, always referred to as a singular and carefully never by name, though who among his entourage it is is not known. It is known that he has plural in both sons and daughters but again it is not known exactly who among his extended and extensive family they are. It is known that his mother is still alive but his father is not, though not who they are. Unless he's been intentionally and subtly giving consistent "slips" of information down the years that have no basis in reality. It's possible.

He is naturally hideously intelligent and further augmented by minor cerebral augmentations of dubious legality across the Mechanicus legal jurisdictions. It is known that he can speak at least a dozen languages fluently in addition to High Gothic and claims to be able to speak over a hundred with varying degrees of mastery though the extent of this is unverified.

He has sworn to, at and by god and gods of any number of faiths. It is unknown which if any of them he follows the creeds of and which he believes in. It could be none or it could be all of them somehow. In much the same way he has celebrated the festivals of many faiths although it's more than likely that he just likes celebrations.

His age is difficult to say as it's possible that his predecessors as head of the family, not necessarily his father, was also called Abdul Goldberg. Or he has inherited the name upon becoming head of the family. Or he really is as old as he claims (which varies quite a lot) and is just really well preserved. Given the way in which rejuvenents vary in effectiveness between people it's not totally outside possibility that he is in fact just shy of 800 and only physically of early middle years.

He is not psychic. That much if nothing else is certain, he's just really good at reading people and lies so well that he can fool or outright block a casual weak surface scan.

He always keeps a loyal psychic around with him at all times to detect and trace if anyone tries to scan him. These psykers, all sanctioned and legal, are also invariably part of the family though whether they are married into the family or there is a strong psychic gene in the Goldberg is hard to say. Certainly if they married in there is now so it's probably pointless to wonder in any case.

Of the man's rise to power what can be said? He managed to appear on the record books of as many of his competitors and fellow traders as possible so that the name was never too forgotten, positioned his family to appear big enough to fill the vacant shoes as the previous holder of the position started to look ill but still looked small enough to bully around and it didn't hurt that his family were old money. Or at least old IOUs.

It also helped that he had enough ships under his name and the name of his family to appear like a large but broad dynasty rather than a tall and rich one that nobody else wanted or the small and forgettable one that they actually were. Most of these ships were bought exactly to appear exactly as that and the mortgage is still being paid on most of them, high millage old buckets that they are.

And so the Goldbergs got he job. Not because anybody wanted them to have it but because they all wanted each other to have it far less. An ineffectual, weak and poor house would be easy to ignore if they got a position among the High Lords of the Imperium. They would have all the theoretical authority but no power to use it, the other Trader dynasties and meg-corps would have a new era of unregulated greed unbeholden to any so long as they didn't do anything to incur the wrath of the notoriously hands-off Royal Family.

For the most part they have been right though they are not worried and maybe they should be that the Goldbergs are not squandering their new position. From that ever so lofty position Abdul Goldberg can see the overt web of trade across the width, breadth and depth of the Imperium and has access to reports that can strongly hint at the more hidden web of undeclared trade. More importantly he can spot the gaps that his family can fill with their freshly acquired ships. Gaps that are being filled methodically.

The Goldbergs are setting the groundwork to be on the rise again for the first time in possibly thousands of years.

But what do the other High Lords and Ladies know of this? Fedor Jiao of the Navigators has just been deposed under suspicious circumstances, presumably Hector Rex of the Inquisition knows or at least someone in his employ knows, Merelda Pereth of the Navy probably suspects a power shift due to her contacts across the Void Born and Abdul knows that Irthu Haemotalion knows because Haemotalion generally knows or at least suspects everything. But they don't care, the business of business is not their business. The only ones who would care are the other big trader companies and they are habitually dismissive of the Goldbergs.

But what of it? Old Uncle Abdul has seemingly no real personal ambition beyond seeing his family prosper as all good patriarchs do. And professionally he is fiercely loyal to the Imperium as it is the greatest bastion of civilization that is and ever has been and trade is the backbone of it and trade is what flows through his veins as much as blood.

Indeed if you want something, he has it, or will have it soon or can introduce you to someone who does. Usually a nephew of some description, he has seemingly and endless supply of nephews. But always remember to have exact change.

=== Lady High Admiral of the Imperial Navy Merelda of House Pereth ===

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

Merelda of House Pereth, Lady High Admiral of the Imperial Navy, is the only abhuman serving on the High Council of the Imperium. She is a Void Born and quite typical of her kind; Abnormally tall and thin, skin unhealthily pale bordering on translucent, long dexterous fingers, bone white hair and big dark eyes. She is the descended from a line of space farers that have served in the Imperial Navy since the days of King Horus and much further into the inky black before that. Her list of victories in the name of the Imperium is legendary having seen heavy action in innumerable Chaos Incursion around the Maelstrom and the Gates of Fire and also a War for Armageddon.

She knows Empty Space, that realm to which dear Horus was once king, and to her it is home. Indeed it is so much her home that like most of her kind she can't set foot upon Old Earth without a full body harness to take the weight.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Her understanding of trajectory, gravity, light speed delay and three dimensional theatres of battle is in the very top of what the Imperium has to offer. Eldar and Demiurg who ply the starry seas for a living do not understand it as she does.

In her time, to the disbelief of many, she has fought everything from orks to chaos to strange hostile things without name beyond the edge of the maps. She has been from one ragged edge of the galactic disc to the other and fought from Hub to Rim. Most unbelievable to most are her claims of boarding action battles. How, they ask, could a creature incapable of standing up for extended periods of time possibly fight in any meaningful way? It was this suspected dishonest that almost had her rejected for consideration of her job when her predecessor retired.

It wasn't until the Emperor himself confirmed that he believed her. He had seen Void Born in anti-boarding actions, scuttling in the zero and micro-gravity like great pale spiders across the walls. Void Born ships have no floors or ceilings and are built by shipwrights without a concept of "down" and "up". Even to veteran Chaos Marines, brains addled by centuries on Deaomn Worlds, the notion of attack from 6 cardinal directions was too much to instinctively know unless raised in it from near infancy.

Indeed there is something unsettling about watching Void Born swim through their ships of almost inhuman design, it is not a way man was meant to be but it is so.

Since assuming her job as Lady High Admiral of the Imperial Navy there has been nothing if not a mild resurgence in overall capability. She was Void Born born and raised and for a thousand generations and more the people of the deeps have not suffered incompetence well or often at all. Traditionally the greatest virtue of the pale-folk was always considered to be thrift, space is big and empty. Those that waste, be it fuel of lives or (horror of horrors) ships typically are the first to be disposed of in extremis.

This abhuman hardness got a lot of people worried, very worried, and not without cause. Although Merelda is not a cruel woman she is also not a forgiving one and although she holds no one to standards that she would not hold herself she holds herself to very high standards. This is the Navy, she would remind her critics, the first and most formidable line of defence of this Blesséd Imperium. It is not a social club for high society fops and inbred fools appointed for notions of nepotism.

There has been in the years since her appointment a notable increase in the number of Void Born transferring from the Merchant Navy to the Imperial Navy, all fairly and above board with not favour shown to them.

But Void Born are innately and instinctively better than normal men when it comes to the finer points of void warfare.

Much as the Fabricator-General the majority of her time is not spent upon the surface of Old Earth, visiting only when needed or when called for. Most of her time she spends in the ancestral capital of her kind, the Earth Luna Lagrange Point.

There in the dockyards once called home by Horus, Home still of House Lupercal among many other venerated names, she holds office. There she marshals her kind and orchestrates the training of generations of officers to captain ships as yet unbuilt to. Horrors lurk between the stars and she takes pride in that she commands the worst of them. Though she will never wear the Corona Nox, will never be the Queen of Empty Space, she is as near as any can be. The responsibility is greater as the Imperium sails to Judgment Day than in any days before.

The dockyards at thunderously busy and so are her people. As they scuttle and glide through the hallways, habs and foundries of the Lagrange Sprawl she sits at the centre of it all dictating the turning of the wheel.

The Sons of Horus have taken note of her. She is one of their faithful, adherent of the Old Gods of Empty Space. The secret faith known only to the pale-folk and shared with no outsiders save a few and most trusted.

Of the woman herself? She is hard to read. Often her people are compared to spiders, pallid, with long limbs and big dark eyes. She is if anything an exaggeration of this. When people look up into those dark eyes they see nothing but the bottomless deeps of space looking back at them. She seems to look upon her fellow lords and ladies dispassionately in the extreme to a degree considered unnerving even to the Navigators. She speaks when spoken to or when needed and never else. It is suspected that she is almost as unnerving to her fellow countrymen as she is to everyone else, abnormal even among abhumans.

=== Lord Commander Militant of the Imperial Army Lukas Bastonne===

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

Lukas Bastonne, the Lord Commander Militant of the Imperial Army, is a man both blessed and cursed with a supernaturally good memory. Or at least he is cursed and the Imperium is blessed.

He is the youngest of the High Lords by a good hundred and fifty years but that one remaining purple Cadian eye has long ago waved goodby to notions of youth or innocence or joy. He was bright enough to have skipped the duties of Whiteshield in the Cadian Army and could have transferred straight to officer school with all the perks this would bring, such people considered near as nobility on Cadia. He refused this honour on principle, a man without perspective is not a good officer, a man who hasn't started at the the bottom has no right to ask of those people to do that what he could not have been asked.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Brilliant as he was this state of affairs was only temporary and he quickly climbed the ranks on merit and aptitude, his merciless memory serving him and others very well. But that perfect memory came at a price and that price was that it was a perfect memory. He remembers the face of every corpse that was once a friend, every horror shat out by the Eye of Terror, tortures beyond counting, lifetimes of death and destruction. He used to tattoo the name of every soldier that fell under his command. He ran out of skin a very long time ago.

Lukas Bastonne as of 999.M41 is not a happy man. Gone are the days that he doesn't wake up to the sound of his own screaming and he drinks like a fish. Rumor has it that he has gone through eight livers. Unsightly as his drinking habit is none can deny his competence at his job and even pickled in gin he has not lessened in his diligence. His job is all that keeps him getting up in the mourning.

He is a man of no humour or good cheer. He is a man who knows the value of life though knows that for the Imperium to survive that life must be spent, spent but never wasted. He will not ask others to do what he would not, but he is Cadian and they live on the doorstep of Hell. The worst nightmares of other worlds are the every other day on Cadia.

He does not wear the full ceremonial garb to the meetings of the High Lords, or any other meetings. He is from a world where pomp and ceremony go to die. He wears a field uniform at all times, he feels naked without it. He carries his las-rifle at all times because he's a soldier damn it. He rose through the ranks for fear of the incompetence of others. those names tattooed belonged to people to whom he owes it to ensure that the lives of his people are spent, not wasted. That was his driving ambition to get where he is. Now there is nobody above him bat the Emperor, now he can maybe comfort himself a little knowing that lives that are lost mean something, that his friends weren't just discarded.

Under his less than tender command the Imperial Guard is operating at a level of performance as efficient and powerful as it ever has done. He would see all worlds, not as copies of his homeworld, but as strong as it in their own way. Different worlds forge different men and different men slay different monsters and no matter what Chaos and Orks and Necrons and Ffucked up intergalactic Locusts throw at the Imperium somewhere is a soldier that can kill it.

Of his family nothing is known, Cadia has no shortage of lost war orphans. Lukas Bastonne was on some birth issued dog tags about his neck though Lukas isn't a normal Cadian name although his purple eyes are a native trait so it's possible that one parent or grand parent was an off-worlder stationed on to the Gateworlds. Not that it matters, not that it matters at all.

The other High Lords endure him with either hostility, pity or fear but he does not care for their friendship or approval. They know their job, he knows his. And under his command the Guard and the Imperium will march on.

=== Master of the Administratum Irthu Haemotalion ===

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

Irthu Haemotalion is the Master of the Administratum and, at lest believed among his fellow scribes, primus inter pares of the High Lords. Maybe there is some truth to that as the Administratum does generally know the overt doings of the other High Lords and their business and is best suited to draw the attention of the Emperor to things that could be of interest.

High Lord Haemotalion is a man who genuinely did start in gutters. He never knew his parents and was raised by his guardsman veteran uncle in a two roomed tenement in the Gethsemane capital hive, Gothic Sector.

His uncle intentionally pushed him for that career due to Irthu finishing his education as a nine stone flat footed asthmatic with a slight case of near sightedness. Had Irthu turned out to have been a prime specimen of vigorous masculinity he would probably have still been encouraged in that direction as it was a s far from the Guard as possible. His uncle had seen some terrible things in his time and had no desire to let his nephew wake up screaming every 3AM.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Low Scribe Haemotalion's first job as an acne spotted teen was assistant to the pipe maintenance overseer for the sewage transport and treatment system in the lower rent districts of his hive. It was a far from glamourous job that necessitated him being in close proximity to human waste as pipe inspection note taker was one of his many and varied duties.

And it was a duty he excelled at. He loved his job and found no shame in it's low status. Six months into his duties and he was pointing out old and persistent problems with the organization of the maintenance team organization and presented his superiors with solutions.

Those solutions were works of simple genius. By the end of the following year, to his aging uncles pride, he was Master of Sheet Street Time Tables.

His duties expanded and his competence grew ahead of his elevation. By the time he was 30 he was the Sewer High Forman (Shit Lord) of the entire hive, practically aristocracy. But down to earth aristocracy, a Commoner Lord feared by the nobility and loved by the plebeians. A man of such elevated status so young and with such minimal formal education was unprecedented on the records.

By age 40 he had handed over his job to his most capable apprentice and traded his job of managing the waste of the hive to the management of the storm drains and the rain collection.

By the time he was 50 he was Master of Waterworks. It was at this time he started on the rejuvenants.

When it came to managing complex, interconnected, half understood systems and beating them into some semblance of order he had no peer. It was a peculiar sort of genius, and inglorious greatness and one much needed by the maddening complexity of lofty Imperial High Office.

By age 200 he was managing the requisition forms of the Merchant Navy for the entire Gothic Sector and haggling with the most prestigious of the old 'Trader Dynasties, not as a lower creature that they must deal with but as an equal. And maybe, it was whispered by the veteran Quartermaster Masters who knew of him, as a natural superior.

His rise to prominence, his hyper competence, his tirelessness and seemingly infinite patience won him promotion after promotion. Always he rose to the occasion and did not settle for being merely capable at his job but for being masterful at it. Scribes apprenticed to him were only the most promising and they left his tutelage feared by whatever branch of the Administratum they were settled in. Many of his old apprentices became Dark Clerks and Grim Statisticians of whose names and deeds are spoken of in fearful whispers were ever professional quill pushers gather to drink away their frustrations.

Irthu Haemotalion was a mere 560 when he was given the Big Chair, the padded swivel office chair with the adjustable backrest and padding even on the armrests, the Big Chair of the highest scribe in all the Imperium.

From his point of view his career has gone full circle. He started his career wading through shit and now he's knee deep in shit once more. A fact that he has let his co-workers know.

He only wished his uncle wasn't over five centuries dead. If he could see him now he hopes he would be proud.

Of High Shit Lord Irthu Haemotalion as a person; he is still a weedy manlet with his acne swapped for a hairline in full retreat. His breathing problems have cleared up by having had his lungs removed and replaced with mechanical improvements. His hands and wrists are also cybernetic due to arthritis but other than that he remains mostly human.

His personality is what one would expect of a scribe of his rank and years. Dour at first but with a dry and deadpan humour so practiced that none can tell if he is taking the piss or not, he invariably is. His patience remains infinite and the other High Lords mark it on a calendar the occasion he has been observed to blink. Some claim that he is some sort of reptile in an immaculate suit. He is also the only person capable of equaling Inquisitor Hector Rex at common card games.

=== Fabricator-General Oud Oudia Raskian ===

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

Fabricator-General Oud Oudia Raskian began his life much as the famous [[Nobledark_Imperium_Primarchs#Ferrus_Manus|Gorgon Primarch]] in the days of yore but unlike the aesthetically displeasing primarch he was crafted with an actual purpose in mind beyond "we need more bodies".

Oud Oudia Raskian was commissioned by his predecessor in Fabricator-General's twilight years. He was not alone as the Fabricator-General Tataraskiv was unwilling to leave anything up to chance at that stage. Raskian was the the brightest of his class and as he matured learned well and deep of the Omnissiah's mysteries and scriptures, doctrines and rituals. As a mere technotheologian this would have been enough but as an exemplar he must excel at all matters. The training regime was brutal, inhuman and inhumane. Many of his hundreds of classmates failed. The brighter of them were shuffled off to other areas of the Olympus Mons Brotherhood, those who were found truly wanting were made useful as servitors. Of those that reached maturity and were deemed at least acceptable they were taken to hallowed and forbidden ground.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

The young men and women, terrified and disgustingly organic as they were, stepped across the pale into the place where no map could be made or mind comprehend the twisting of the pathways. The place where Old Night was kept. Deep in unknowable depths the Noctis Labyrinthus, in the halls of things that should never have been born of mans folly and hubris ███████ ████████ ████████████ ██████ ████████████ ████ █████████ ███ █████████ ████████████ ██ ███████████████████ ███ ████ ███████████████ ██████████ ███████████████ ███ ███████ █████████ ██████████████

And of those that approached and of those that recoiled none were permitted to live. The galaxy was not for the incautious and it was not for the timid and those of both wisdom and authority that were either would only lead humanity to ruin.

Of those little more than children only Raskian survived. It is not enough, for the greatest position in the Imperium and the Mechanicum, to have merely possess the physical manifestations of the blessings of the machine. A true leader must have steel unrusting in his very soul, he must look upon damnation and not be damned himself.

Tataraskiv had found his one worthy disciple, his apprentice. Tataraskiv survived another two centuries before the meat parts of his brain degraded beyond usefulness and he had to be brought to termination. In those years Raskian learned much. He didn't consider his master a friend, given the people and the circumstances friendship was never an option, but he did respect the old man-machine greatly. Tataraskiv was disassembled and his salvageable components distributed amongst the Olympus Mons Brotherhood according to need.

In the yeas that followed Fabricator-General Oud Oudia Raskian, despite his relative youth compared to the ancient once-man he was replacing, proved to be every bit as wise and ruthless as his position demanded. As he became burdened with ever increasing secrets he was uplifted by the most beautiful augmetics from the staggering breadth of his great realm. Weariness of spirit and frailty of the flesh were replaced with mechanical resolve and technological strength.

For the last 700 years Oud Oudia Raskianhas been present at the gathering of the High Lords. He considers himself their better thought he would never admit it, the Mechanicum an equal partner in his mid to the Imperium rather than a member of it. Although they can request of him, and out of mutual benefit he often agrees, they have little that he needs from them. The Mechanicum could survive easier without the rest of the Imperium than the rest of the Imperium could survive without his people though he knows that both would be diminished without the other.

To put it another way he's an arrogant condescending twat and although his accomplishments are great he is not the center of the universe as he seems to think.

But for all that he is more than competent at his job, so he is tolerated even if the grinding of teeth he can cause is a genuine health hazard.

=== Grand Provost Marshal Aveliza Drachmar ===

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

Grand Provost Marshal Aveliza Drachmar started life as a graduate of the Schola Progenium of Hive Ferax of Thracian Primaris. Her parents that she never knew were killed in the cannibal uprising of 071M41. It was a nast, brutal little war that saw an astounding number of people killed, mutilated and consumed, the half gnawed bodies then twisted into grotesqueries until put down by a force spearheaded by the Sons of Midnight.

Her life in the Schola Progenium quickly saw Aveliza Drachmar earmarked for the Adepta Securitas due to her fervent loyalty and belief in the rightness of the Imperium as a whole.

She would have made a fine sister of battle, she was fast, athletic and possessed of a quick mind. But her path took a different turn as her schola tutors found that her mind was exceptional. She could read an entire page of text in mere moments and retain and process all the information and when they gave her access to the library she devoured it's contents with a reckless appetite.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Her favoured subject, the words that settled hard and left a deep impression, was the Law and matters relating to it. It confirmed her childhood beliefs and proved the rightness of the Imperium to rule the galaxy. Only from just Law and the adherence to it could true civilization be derived. By the time she was 17 she had been given the genetic alterations of the Securitas battle sisters, a considerable investment, but by the time she was 18 her tutors had demanded of their superiors that she be transferred. They did not do this lightly as she would indeed have been a boon to that order but she would have been settling for second place to the benefit society would have gotten out of her as a Judge.

Accepting a Rookie for training at such late age was not unheard of but it was unusual and normally would have put the student at a considerable disadvantage. It was a pleasant surprise then that her tutors found her already word perfect in The Law, major precedents and many minor and obscure precedents of interest and curiosity. Also her physical training was excellent and made magnificent by the costly genetic augmentation she had already undergone.

Due to a somewhat aggressive nature, blamed sometimes without real proof on her genetic alterations but more often on her training, she was deemed too volatile to send to the Imperial Lawyers to administer Law in a court room but to the Street Judges to bring the Law to the Lawless.

In only a mere month she was handed over to a Senior Street Judge for training.

From there onward Aveliza's rise was nothing shot of legendary. From overseeing extermination raids on gene-stealer nests to courtroom prosecutions her victories quickly became uncountable. He became a full Judge in only five years and Senior Judge in only a further ten. She became the face of The Law on Ferax from the Warrens to the Spire Tops, she was in her duties without fear or favour showing equal levels of courtesy to the lowest beggars and Spire Lords by age 120 she was Lady High Justice of the Thracian system and surrounding sector commanding over a thousands of Imperial Lawyers and Judges across thousands of jurisdictions.

Her fire had been tamed as her years and wisdom increased, from the hot headed youth full of passion and fury to the rumbling storm whose lightning struck with precision those who thought themselves above or beyond The Law.

When the Grand Provost Marshal retired from ill health in 674M41 the Law Master Moot held not for the usual months but for only a single afternoon before all agreed upon fearsome Drachmar, cleansing flame of Scarus Sector.

For long centuries no in the dying days of 999M41 she has served unwavering, unbending and diligent in service to the Imperium. She has forsaken all ties of friendship, all hope of love, all possibility of a real life for the good of the Imperium. For the rightness of it. Some of her critics have been dismissive of her, thinking her as a stereotypical overly-aggressive Sister of Battle, unaware that her fiery passion is her own because if the Law does not stand for something then nothing does.

In her time she has stared down Space Marines, Autarchs and far more terrifying things though none that have met her suspect that anything could be much more terrifying than her.

=== Master of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica, Astronomican, Schola Psykana and the Black Ships Lady Ina Kissa ===

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

The current High Lady of the Psykana, Adeptus Astra Telepathica and The Black Ships is known by the name of Lady Ina Kissa. The woman herself stand at a little over five foot tall, though holds herself taller, her face is lined with age and her hair is closer to white than grey now. She might have been considered moderately pretty in her youth although distinctive would probably be more honest. Her eyes were orange or yellow as would betray a Prosperan heritage but such a thing is of historical records now centuries old, her eyes have long since greyed and dimmed into blindness. In truth she is not much more powerful than a Primaris Battle Psyker but she has in her long, long years mastered the use of her abilities and is feared by many creatures that should have no normal cause to fear her.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

She was born, many years ago, to an Old Earth family and she did enter the Scholar Psykana at the age of fifteen. Records of her life between this age and her service to the Imperial guard at age four hundred and twenty are sketchy at best. There was an incident at the time she would have been at the Scholar of someone trying to summon the Chaos Eldar of the Court of the Winter Touch and the attempted atrocity being violently aborted by the actions of a belligerent student with seemingly no sense of either fear or self-preservation. The identity of the student and indeed the (presumed) tutor summoning the thrice damned has never been confirmed.

The gap in the records is irretrievable but bears the authority of the Inquisition.

When the much older Ina Kissa returned to the light of society she was very much a different woman. Gone was any semblance of youth or innocence and in it’s place a hard won wisdom and a withering and severe attitude to the general state of her fellow psykers. Her reasons for leaving the service of the Inquisition have never been confirmed. It is suspected that her unknown master retired or possibly died although many secretly believe that she was just too much of an insufferable bitch to endure and she was “persuaded to seek purpose elsewhere”. What ever the reason she seems to bear no ill will to the Inquisition although she has never once given hint to either who her master was or what they did in those centuries.

What is known is that she cultivated a broad and deep wisdom of all things relating to warp-craft. Things that should be known and things that, the wise and the mad would both attest, should also be known but less happily. She knows of may true names of the never-born and the damned and the lore surrounding them. She knows and seems fluent in the black speech of the warp, the very tongue of the gods themselves, and has cursed out deamons and the damned in it. It is a speech that cuts through the air like silver knives, lacerating and burning the tongue and lips of mortals foolish enough to speak it and causes bleeding in the ears of those who hear it. How she became so proficient in it is known now only to her.

In centuries prior to her rise to prominence there was some attempts to “modernize” the Scholar Psykana. To move away from the master and apprentice systems of the past and give rise to schools and collages with formal curriculum and standardized teaching methods. In the years of her rule this has been strongly discouraged. The schools her predecessor set up stand now mostly empty as the would be students gather in covens and coteries, learning the old ways from old masters as the conscious drive to hold on to the old traditions is pushed. Her critics claim that she is a primitive and a regressive idolizing some romanticized time that never was but she does not despise new knowledge, it’s just that she holds it in no esteem only because it is new. Old fashioned as her promoted methods and policies are none can deny that they are effective no matter how much they might want to.

For all that she is a fairy tale witch (an image she may have intentionally cultivated) none can claim her jurisdiction is found wanting or her duties shirked. Her presence as a High Lady of the Imperium is both comforting and worrying though thankfully for the peace of mind for many she does not take a real interest in anything that doesn't interfere with her work or the running of her branch of society she don't much care but heaven help those that trespass on what she sees as hers.

=== Paternoval Envoy of the Navigators ===

See [[Nobledark_Imperium_Writing#The_Saga_of_Fedor_Jiao|The Saga of Fedor Jiao]]

== Illic Nightspear ==

Illic Nightspear is a Disciple of Kurnous. Originally from Alaitoc but found no peace on their Paths. Left and became an exodite for a time on a harsh world of long winters. As an exodite he found in the hard life meaning and contentment for many centuries.

But in time his heart grew weary and he found less and less joy in the work.

One cold winter's day a band of Hunters walked into town to trade bone and furs for drink and trinkets. Clad in animal skins and primitive paints of ash and ground rock and walking with a supremely confident swagger they intrigued him. When next they left the village he went with them.

That was about a thousand years ago. As of 999M41 Illic Nightspear is a hunter and predator beyond compare and can navigate the webway. Clad in skins and ash and armed with simple stone tipped spear, wooden bow and flint tipped arrows he would be considered a joke in any war of the Dark Millenium. But then you notice the gene-stealer teeth neckless and the bone knife handle made from a single chunk of squiggoth ivory. Most unbelievable of all is the necron finger.

== Jenetia Krole ==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' The Soulless Queen '''''

After the fall of Ursh, the Warlord was surveying the situation with the remaining Urshii insurgency first-hand along the Sibar front, when he heard a small clink against his armor. Looking down, the Warlord saw a small, malnourished eight-year-old girl dressed in rags trying to mug the unifier of mankind with a steel knife. After winning over the child’s trust with some food, the Warlord convinced her to show him where she lived. The Warlord was interested in where she came from. He was more interested in the fact that he was seemingly unable to read her mind in any way.

The child led the Warlord back to a bunker, torn apart by the clear signs of Urshii marauders and further weathered by years of time. It seemed that whoever had lived in the bunker had fled into the wilds to escape detections from the Empire of Ursh, only to be discovered when the Urshii themselves were forced into the hinterlands. It was there that the Warlord discovered the name of the feral child, the only survivor of the small bunker-settlement. Jenetia Krole.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

The Warlord brought Jenetia back to the Imperium, where she was provided with proper food and medical care. She was able to learn how to comprehend Gothic, but she would never be able to speak it. Her throat was damaged at some point before the Warlord had found her out in the wilds of Siber, and her vocal chords would never be able to recover from the harm that had been inflicted upon them. Although the Unification Wars had produced many orphans, and the Warlord had personally made sure that many were sent to the nascent Imperial Schola, he wanted to hold onto this one. The fact that she had managed to elude both his guards and his own psychic senses intrigued him.

Jenetia would be one of the first of what the Imperium would come to know as blanks. Indeed, much of the Imperium’s early research on the physiological and behavioral effects of the Pariah gene came from studies on Jenetia. Though she was merely recessive for the Pariah gene, and did not suffer from its effects as strongly as some later blanks, it was through her and the few others like her on Old Earth that the Imperium was even able to know what blanks were.

Jenetia spent much of her formative years being shuffled around from adept to adept and primarch to primarch. She could never stay around one person for too long, as eventually her blank aura would cause them to become nervous and uncomfortable. In particular, Jenetia was completely unable to be around anyone with even the slightest hint of psyker powers with the exceptions of the Steward and Magnus, whose psyker abilities were so powerful as to even eclipse Krole’s blank aura. Even then Magnus tried to avoid Krole whenever possible, both the woman’s personality and lack of presence in the warp making him uncomfortable. Jenetia also had trouble building relationships with rank and file soldiers, as her aura and her inability to talk made many uncomfortable or gave her the impression of aloofness. At some point, Krole decided to embrace this reputation and together with her battlefield prowess deliberately cultivated a reputation of dreadedness. Some ironically went so far as to call her The Soulless Queen, despite not knowing her true nature.

Jenetia gained a reputation as the Steward’s resident monster slayer. Before the Grey Knights, when daemons or any other warp-reliant monsters were terrorizing a planet, or when a psyker was found to have brainwashed the inhabitants of a planet to their will, Krole was the one called in to set things straight. To any daemons or witch-kin, her aura and combat prowess made her essentially untouchable. On top of this, when faced with more conventional foes, Jenetia was able to turn her blank aura up to overwhelming levels, causing vertigo or panic attacks in just about anything with a soul.

Despite her success in such matters, the Steward was rather uncomfortable about Jenetia’s role on the battlefield. Having been raised by the rather traditionalist Malcador, the Steward was uncomfortable about repeatedly putting a woman in harm’s way, especially one he had known since she was a child. However, before the Grey Knights and the Culexus Assassins, Krole was for many years the only well-trained anti-psyker weapon the Imperium had. Indeed, it is possible that many aspects of Jenetia’s personality, including her abrasive nature and her attempts to deliberately cultivate a terrifying reputation in friend and foe alike, were in response to this treatment by the Steward, trying to convince the closest thing she had to a father that she was just as good of a warrior as any other member of the upper levels of the Imperium’s impromptu family.

The Steward ended up assigning her to the Black Ships, believing that the job of rounding up psykers to be sent to places like Prospero and Old Earth would be a good way to keep her safe and off the front lines. Krole was not happy with this decision, but eventually relented on the condition the Steward grant her one request. If the Steward wanted her to perform this job she would need an elite task force to get the task done. All female, and all blanks. By that time the Imperium had expanded far enough that there were just enough blanks to fulfill Jenetia’s request, three hundred in all. Jenetia taught them to fight as she did, moving in silence and putting down their foes with utter, brutal efficiency. The Sisters of Silence travelled around the galaxy, bringing untrained psykers to the relative safety of the Black Ships and still being called in on the rare occasions that the Imperium needed some extra help in dispatching warp monstrosities. Although many young psykers found the Sisters to be unnerving and often painful to be around, they soon learned the Sisters were supposed to be scary to the monsters, not them.

Although the Silent Queen might have been soulless, she was not heartless. Her personal journal, found only after her death, showed she actually did care about many of the people she spent her life around, even if she was not able to say it in words. Jenetia Krole was killed in the opening battle of the War of the Beast, having been sent to the far reaches of the Imperium to collect psykers aboard the Black Ships when the Beast and his hordes first roared across the Imperium’s borders. She and her warriors died in a valiant last stand to buy the now refugee-laded Black Ships, filled with mostly children, enough time to escape and bring back news that the Imperium was at war.

Years later, when Sebastian Thor and Alicia Dominica argued with the Steward, now Emperor, about making the Sororitas an official institution, Jenetia Krole was one of the people who was brought up to support their argument.

- By 999M41 Sister Jubblowski is ~400 years old and has ~200 children, and has provided prophetic instruction to the Imperial Army and Inquisition that has saved the lives of countless billions.

Revered Mother Jubblowski was born in the year 589M41 to remarkably ordinary Cadian parents on the planet Cadia during a time of relative peace. She was born free of deformity or any evidence of corruption or ill health in a hospital in one of the deeper subterranean cities. She was raised from age three to four in a military crèche, from age four to age ten in basic education to determine aptitudes and interests and age ten to age fourteen in further education to take advantage of those aptitudes. She was found to be by her instructors and tutors extremely average for a Cadian and was mostly forgettable beyond her exceptional, for a non-psychic human, skill at eldar High Tongue. This was a result of the mess hall chef being originally of Ulthwé and she and her friends often went to him for advice.

Her conscription at age fourteen into regular military service was a day of great pride for her and her parents and siblings, of which she had many. She was assigned to the 474th “Righteous Hellions” Whiteshield regiment and mostly tasked with simple patrols and low priority guard duty as befitted the station and skills of near-children. Jubblowski took her first life at age fifteen during a suicide rampage of the damned. At age sixteen her regiment and many like it was transferred to Sarum to bolster the local military after a particularly gristly Nurglite invasion and subsequent contagion outbreaks. The 474th and it’s associated regiments were on alert for resurgent and zombie outbreaks that never arrived and the five years they spent there was extremely uneventful and mostly spent trying to train the local military to be less shit considering that Cadian purple-eyed teenagers could consistently match if not out perform their veteran soldiers.

Jubblowski had grown up to be tall and sturdily built and although by no means ugly could be mistaken for a young man in her off duty fatigues. This combined with developing feelings of inferiority caused by the seemingly glamorous looking locals and more aesthetically pleasingly formed fellow soldiers as well as no longer having the enigmatic eldar chef to turn to for guidance culminated in Jubblowski falling into a prolonged and dark mood. Eventually she reached out in prayer but in the High Tongue of the eldar and by some strange occurrence it was Isha that heard her. Maybe it was out of mischief or curiosity or maybe it was for a genuinely higher purpose but Isha poured upon Jubblowski her blessing generously.

Over the next few weeks her body bloomed into something striking. It was subtle at first, changes that could be attributed to breathing cleaner air or acclimatizing to the better diet of the local inhabitants. The following week the regimental psyker claimed that her could hear something that was not quite singing but not quite humming coming from the barracks but he couldn't identify the source. It was after the fourth adjustment to her fatigues in as many weeks and another request for a better fitting flack-jacket that things finally started to get noticed in an official capacity. At first her transformation was assumed to be the result of some sort of hormonal imbalance or possibly a mild mutation brought about by something in the new environment although all tests came back negative. It was at this point that she was identified as the source of the the strange humming-singing song that the regimental spoon bender could hear. This brought about suspicions of a much darker nature. This brought about the possibility that she was touched by the dark gods, a siren song to enthrall and a growing sensual, seductive form to beguile and tempt her fellow soldiers from virtue and duty. Sin was beautiful sometimes and temptation by it's nature was attractive and by means unnatural she now seemed both. She confessed to the company preacher that she had prayed for beauty but she had prayed to the Empress in her own tongue but the preacher as kindly as he could told her that another creature of eldar origin could all too easily of heard her prayers. A god known well on Cadia and a god well known for "blessing" those who came to it's attention. He told her that he didn't believe her twisted of soul or fallen from grace and he promised her, as kindly as he could, that she never would and that if salvation was not an option neither would be damnation.

Things would have gone very badly for Jubblowski had it not been for the arrival of a band of migrating exodites some two hundred strong following a Priestess of Isha dressed in wool and leather and bones. Reports of the next few days are unclear. Some say that the priestess and her followers mazed the minds of the Cadians unexpectedly, some say that they employed cunning misdirection and distraction, some say that there was an agreement reached. What is known is that by the end of the second day of their appearance there was a warhost of Aspect Warriors among the exodites and Jubblowski was somehow freed peacefully and not only that but stood with a circlet of flowers in her hair, in a makeshift robe hastily made from an large raincoat being instructed by the priestess to lay her hands upon the brow of those in her company who felt themselves worthy of benediction; the priestess apparently believing that Jubblowski was the destination of their pilgrimage, a living religious icon blessed by her goddess to show the faithful the worth and indisputable worth she placed in the alliance between her children and the short lived children of adoption. The exodites tried to give her offering gifts in the form of seasoned meat and sweet preserved fruits but she felt that she was unworthy of their devotion and generosity and returned their gifts with thanks.

With the possibility of Chaos corruption seemingly dispelled the officers of the 474th were then stuck with another problem. The eldar wished to take Jubblowski with them or at least have her removed from military service and placed out of harms way, such a thing was unthinkable to a Cadian and the officers, the entire regiment, the other regiments and Jubblowski herself were quite vocally unhappy about such an idea. On Cadia you were born in the army and one way or another you died in the army, so had it been for ten thousand years with the only exception being deserters and she was no deserter. Eventually a compromise of sorts was reached with a suggestion by the 474th Commissar who took her on as an unneeded secondary assistant and, as she was not subject to the Commissariat, had her officially transferred to the Commissariat branch at sub-sector command which was thankfully just one continent away and, with the lack of activity on this planet in general, quite safe. She would be safe there and would have a note in her file to prevent her getting deployed to any active war zone. This was seen as a fair compromise by the eldar on the condition that their people still be allowed to visit her.

And so it was that Jubblowski entered into the service of the Commissariat with absolutely no skills that would warrant such a placement and whose one notable ability was seemingly to cause flocks of eldar yokels to occasionally appear. It was not Jubblowski herself who first suggested that she might use her new body on official printed resources, it was a former commissar turned scribe with an interest in photography who had observed that she seemed short of something to do and she did have an astounding figure. Oddly her eldar visitors had no problem with this and just interpreted it as a form of primitive human veneration.

Jubblowski became something of a minor celebrity on Sarum in this time, her form appearing on calendars to postcards all advertising or encouraging joining the war effort in some capacity or another. The exact reason for an assassin of the Vanus Temple to be present on Sarum at that time is shrouded in more classification than can be dug through but ██████████████████████████████████████████████████, or ████████ as he preferred to be called, had seemingly been there for some time and was either merely still in training or was extremely good at covering his tracks as no record of his victims ever turned up. Of course the Vanus infocytes typically kill their targets via cornering them via statistics and "encouraging" an accident to happen before altering the records as needed to retroactively show that it was a pure accident and ensure that there are no footprints that need to be covered. Whether Jubblowski knew the exact nature of ████████ at the time or not is unknown all that is known is that they became lovers briefly before he was redeployed.

Some time into Not long after the departure of ████████ Jubblowski realized that she was carrying his child. Not long after that she started to have remarkably vivid and repeated dreams but thought nothing of it, such things were not unprecedented. In the offices of the Commissariat much news of far off places is routinely processed and it wasn't long at all before she started to see patterns in her dreams and the unfolding of events on nearby worlds. Consultation with the resident astropath confirmed it; her psychic signature had changed and her mind was actively reaching out somehow despite not being a psyker. At least not a conventional one.

During her pregnancy her figure again bloomed further into something that resembled an ideal of fecund femininity and as it did her visions of the future increased in intensity and regularity. It was at this time that she came to the attention of the Inquisition. The Inquisition, both dreaded and adored by honest folk across the galaxy, ever had a need for prophesy and glimpses of the future. It would be wrong to say that Jubblowski was conscripted into the Inquisition as she did go willingly but it would have been the case had she not. For Jubblowski's part there was no real possibility of resistance, she was a soldier of the Imperium, she was Cadian and in the Cadian cultural outlook the Inquisition (and to an extent every branch of the Imperial Government) is always seen in relation to and as a special branch of the Imperial Army. It was merely to her a transfer.

For her first few years Jubblowski was under the protection and in the employ of Inquisitor ███████████, strange figure of much controversy since his death, not least because although all agree he is quite definitely dead no two witnesses can agree how. The intentional destruction of all official records both hard and soft copy and the expunging of memories via Memetic timed contagion across an association vector has done nothing to help matters. Indeed the only person who would possibly know the events of those days and the would be Jubblowski who has maintained a vow of silence on the subject. Due to her perceived lack of cooperation she was not adopted by another Inquisitor, not even any of Inquisitor ███████████'s former students and associates, and was transferred to an Inquisitorial safe house on the planet Tallarn. The safe house was in fact the noble house of Al'rahem that had produced many fine soldiers and accomplished commanders down the long years of the Imperium's history. Jubblowski found it strange to find such familiarity so far from home on such a strange world. She was attached to the house as it's official oracle and firewatcher, a tradition started in pre-Imperial times by the planet's native psyker population who discerned patterns of the future in the moments of flames and stirring of ashes. The position was typically held by psykers married into the house or at the very least in a long standing but less official relationship with a higher ranking member of the dynasty (which was useful given the nature of her precognitive abilities). It was in this time that Jubblowski earned the title of the Cadian Prophetess among the locals as due to her predictions almost certainly preventing global calamity with the unearthing of the Cursus of Alganar ████████ ██████ ████ ██████████████████ ████████████ ███████ ██ █████ █████████████ ██████████████ ████████ █████ █ ██ ██████ ████████ ████████████ ██████ and although the Tallarn's could forgive their Biel-Tan friends, understanding full well their reasoning and having fought as brothers for too many years to loose love over this, they knew they could not forget the poor judgment it implied. That cursed thing was once again entombed a mile beneath the sands as none would dare destroy it.

Whether she wanted it or not her name was in ascent and in time the Inquisition saw fit to have her moved from that world to another. Jubblowski acquired at about this time in her life her long term friend and greatest ally Senior-Maga Sérka Ađk Wulchtáthas of the Adeptus Biologicus order of the Helix Star, who accepted being called Sera as her own name was not easily spoken by unaugmented humans. In her wandering down the years Maga Sera has been the reassuring constant in her life. The nature of her duties to the Imperium separate her from all her children in time, but she helps safeguard an Imperium in which they may grow up safe. He children as her fame and prestige grew became the children of royal lineage, her image as a blessed individual exploited to manipulate the populations of worlds in directions deemed beneficial for the state by the Inquisition, her likeness used by the Commissariat to encourage long recruitment lines, her body used by the Orders Famulous to revitalize lines of kings as old as the Imperium, venerated as a living divine icon by the eldar; Jubblowski lives in service to the Imperium in all things, she is Cadian. Indeed she is more Cadian than many cadians, perhaps to compensate for the un-Cadian aspects of her life. Despite that she will never be allowed again intentionally within a thousand miles of a battle-field she carries her las-rifle around at all times and practices her marksmanship at least once per day, she lives a spartan and refuses to own more personal possessions than can be carried in her centuries old kit-bag as per regulations.

Her life has not been without troubles; extremist groups from both the human and eldar supremacists have made her a target for various reasons and she has survived assassination attempts from both, one almost sparking a holy war between Dorhi and Biel-Tan, to say nothing of repeated murder attempts by deranged Chaos worshipers. Most direct attempts are thwarted by bodyguards, her own skill or the intervention of Sera who is considerably augmented and can almost out-punch a Nova-Ogryn.

As the dying days of the forty-first millennium draw close the now Revered Mother Jubblowski is the mother of heroes, Prophetess of Cadia whose visions have saved the lives of tens of billions of loyal citizens at the least. Tens of billions of hands and heads and hearts held high themselves stolen from Death's embrace and given to service of the Imperium.

==Lynn Mywin==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

Lynn Mywin was born to the eldar of Féin-Cineál in or about the year 620 of the 41st Millennium and the youngest child of her immediate. Both her parents were loving parents advancing into their fourth millennium when they had her, both having been married several times before and both having had many children with previous partners and each other, her half-siblings all counted both living and dead Lynn Mywin was in fact the youngest of almost three hundred children and felt that her chances of ever living up to their combined legacy was not remotely achievable. The eldar of Féin-Cineál are known for having large families and putting emphasis on the family as the basic measure of civilization but her family was excessive and was eventually declared a clan of it's own, something historically seldom achieved whilst in the lifetime of the progenitors.

The vast majority of the Mywin family were loyal, productive and morally upstanding citizens that any craftworld would be proud to call their own. True none of them were great movers and shakers of note but typically they did their jobs diligently and competently and seldom showed up in police records. Having so many contributing members of the family and so little of those to detriment ensured the family's prosperity and that prosperity was shared among it's members rather than hoarded in a treasury. There were black sheep to the family, with so many how could their not be, but their transgressions were minor things typically made of bad judgements rather than outright malice.

Lynn Mywin was a more willful black sheep. Mywins typically got jobs of a solid and tangible nature, indeed the patriarch Athafan was a shipwright and bonesinger and the matriarch Rhyangaala was a meteorologist. Lynn Mywin did not pursue sensible paths. Throughout her childhood and adolescence she had dabbled with the paths of the artist and the paths of the poet, both paths taken by The Betrayer. It might have been that these were a childish little rebellion against her somewhat overcaring parents, many in the family believed that she was shown a lot more tolerance for such foolishness than they had been and it was time for some good Mywin sense to be slapped into her. But Lynn was the last child Athafan and Rhyangaala could have together and they knew it and they found that they couldn't scold her too harshly. They regretted spoiling the child by sparing the rod when Lynn's first official path was a path of the Musician and the full range of interests shared by The Betrayer was complete.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Rhyangaala and Athafan pondered this deeply and meditated on the subject with heavy hearts but the stories of The Chronicle that dealt wit The Betrayer they couldn't see in their little girl. The Betrayer was a foul thing whereas little Mywin with ribbons in her hair and a moonlyre in her hands was as innocent as the music she made, and the music she made promised to one day be beautiful as her aptitudes were not insignificant. But, as the rest of the family pointed out, The Betrayer was innocent once upon a time. In her fifty-fifth year, the age of full maturity among the Féin-Cineáli, Lynn Mywin was fifteen years down her Path of Music and had been asked to perform at a minor function for the governor of Leigh-2, the world her particular enclave called home. This was the last straw for her parents, they knew that such encouragement would push their daughter down the path of vanity and if she wasn't like The Betrayer now she would be one day. They ordered her away to the military to serve in the PDF of Leigh-2 and maybe even be transferred to the Guard should she prove worthy and therefore far away from dishonest temptations. This was devastating to the young Lynn Mywin.

By the strange chance or the blessings of a trickster god that night the Enclave was visited by Inquisitor Silas Hand who was in need of information found within the enclave's copy of The Chronicle. Normal procedure for an outsider to see The Chronicle required the authorization of the head of one of the clans, a meeting of the five most prominent clans and the presence of three witnesses, typically the head farseer, the head autarch and the head spiritseer. All of this would take time and Inquisitor Hand was hunting swift prey. The black sheep of the Mywin had long ago memorized her father's access codes and lead the Inquisitor to vaulted hall in which The Chronicle was kept. Inquisitor Hand quickly found the information he needed, the resting place of a Rogue Trader once who visited the Féin-Cineáli in many thousands of years past and that the possessed prison-artifact in question had not been passed on to some unsuspecting heir but was dragged with him into the grave on some frozen world now buried uder a hundred foot of glacial ice. Silas Hand, scarred and weathered, decided that for a short time the galaxy could survive without him having to patch it up and took a day off for the first time in years. Lynn's parents, her entire huge and extended family and every other eldar of any station in the enclave were quite angry with her blatant disregard for procedure and they were not very subtle or tactful in expressing their considerable ire even after Lynn pointed out that it was the duty of all good Imperial citizens to aid the Inquisition. In truth the others of her kind and kin who knew her knew that she hadn't acted with noble intentions but merely to cause mischief and in truth they weren't as wrong as she knew and would claim.

In a moment of rebellion, ill timed or fortuitous bleeding together, the young Mywin approached the Inquisitor on the hour of his departure and asked that she could join him and his motley band of hard-bitten agents. Inquisitor hand was himself not without a sense of mischief and we can only guess of his motives. Maybe he thought a few weeks away from soft beds and warm foods would teach her a much needed lesson, maybe he saw something of himself much younger in her eyes or maybe he saw something of genuine worth. All that is known is that when Hand left Lynn was with him turning her back on kin and clan and enclave and weeping parents who were distraught believing that at the finish they had failed; their daughter now walked a path of darkness far from home and hearth and the love of family. Despair gripped them and held them for a long time, sorrows upon sorrow for the little girl they believed they had driven away.

A hundred years or there about Lynn Mywin did return. She did not skip and dance as the innocent near-child she had been when she left. He hands and skin were not maiden soft. Her eyes were not the eyes of an artist. Now she was a woman of the Inquisition, she walked with a swagger and the confident stride not borne of childish ignorance but a proven hardness. Her skin was scarred and tough boot leather. Her eyes were the eyes of a musician beyond the judgment of potential percussion offered by the average boot to skull. A century of having the shit kicked out of her had cost her her innocence but she did not miss it in the slightest and in it's place had grown if not wisdom then a degree of highly refined cunning that was almost as good. Her parent's, once the shock had worn off, were beyond joy to see her not just alive but uncorrupted. Her was her daughter, they would proudly declare, working for the Inquisition.

In the years since Lynn Mywin has been from hubworlds to the galactic fringes, she has stood on distant Old Earth and Cadia and a thousand other worlds. She has served many masters, hunted many foes, saved countless millions if not billions, taken many trophies, taken may lovers, done work in the shadows that would turn the stomach of lesser people and dragged such horrors into the light of day for judgment. In the Inquisition her reputation is as checkered as her tattoo collection due to her "creative" interpretation of orders and occasional bouts of convenient deafness. She will never be an Inquisitor she has been told in no uncertain terms as she lacks the temperament and holy shit will she be the first to tell you that but she never really wanted to be.

Of the Féin-Cineáli? They are at one and the same immensely proud of her and deeply ashamed. On the one hand she is an agent of the Inquisition and a damn good one. On the other hand she is Apostate. She has forsaken the Paths and risks walking the road of perpetual torment, she stands upon the edge of the abyss and looks down into the maelstrom of riling, twisting madness of emotions left unchecked. Such worries, she would claim, are in vein. She has her duty in place of a Path. She might live loud, live hard, take lovers as she wants them, drink when she's thirsty, eat when hungry, fight when angry and follow her heart and gut as much as her head but when the chips are down she can show a focus that would make an Exarch proud.

Some wonder still if she is still truly Féin-Cineáli; she typically wears a grubby vest several sizes too big, pants cut out of an inner layer of a broken space suit, a beret, catachan boots and a set of ident-tags. Her weapons are a big Catachan Cutta' Knife, and a much repaired laser rifle of unusual make. For all the world she looks like a low-pay mercenary culled from the underhive of some impoverished core world but questions of her membership of the Féin-Cineáli is not asked when she is present, entertaining the youth with tales of daring do and strange adventures on distant worlds despite the improper influence this is considered on impressionable young minds. Two considerations of this, her family, and her parents in particular, are fiercely protective of her name and they might all follow into Exile over choosing to stay and the loss isn't worth one delinquent eldars expulsion. The other is that many of them, the better connected of the matriarchs and patriarchs, have heard about the things that she has done and are absolutely sure that none of their bodyguards and champions could save them from her ire should she turn it upon them in retaliation.

As for Lynn Mywin herself? She doesn't think about it too much. In the years since her fateful meeting with Old Man Hand she has seen much, met many strange and interesting people, killed a lot of them. If she is exiled they will have to enforce it and she knows that none of them are stupid enough to try it and the once that are aren't capable enough. But for now the Imperium is under threat and she knows she must do her small part to end those threats, as all good citizens should to the best of their abilities.

==Kaptin Blacklaw==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%"> '''''The Scourge of Elysia'''''
Kaptin Blacklaw is a former mercenary who had worked for a rather unscrupulous Rogue Trader, and has gained in-depth knowledge about the workings of the Imperium's naval forces in general, and the defensive fleets plus the Elysian Drop Trooper regiments used in boarding actions in the Elysia system in particular. He has used this knowledge combined with the standard orky brutal cunning to make himself a very successful freebooter kaptin. His band has been responsible for numerous raids on imperial naval facilities, various commercial concerns, and has even raided mechanicus forgeworlds on occasion. What makes him different from others like him is his location in the Segmentum Solar and his unusual willingness to engage in hit & run raids, guerrila tactics and various forms of unconventional warfare. Generally speaking, his forces only engage in direct combat with Imperial forces when they have stacked the deck in their favor by some underhanded means.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

A devout follower of the GorkaMorka, he has no love for the Chaos Gods and tolerates no chaos orks in his band/fleet/whatever. However, his time among the humans in his earlier years has led to him having rather strange thoughts for an ork, pangs of what a human would recognize as guilt whenever his forces came back from a raid flush with loot and slaves. These pangs of conscience are infrequent however and his way of dealing with these unusual feelings is violence directed at things smaller than he is or those he thinks are inclined to usurp his position; he's still an ork and lives to fight and win as much as the next greenskin. Also has a "parrot" which is basically a gretchin covered in glued on feathers and a beak made out a plastic like material. This gretchin is not fond of being called “Polly”, being fed crackers, or being made to squawk, Blacklaw does all of that anyway out of simple amusement as there is no funnier grot then an annoyed grot. His forces have an unusually high number of flashgitz and kommandos among their number and their naval vessels are of a surprisingly high quality for an ork fleet, with the more hotheaded among his ranks being continuously thinned out by a mix of attrition and a deliberate policy on Blacklaw's part to make use of his more typically aggressively orky boyz in diversionary attacks away from whatever it is he wants smashed or stolen at the time.

His forces have no main base as such other then their fleet, only temporary hideaway ports in out of the way areas in the Elysian sector and those areas in the Segmentum Solar immediately bordering it. Instead of massive planetside factories, his larger ships have some moderate manufacturing capability, which is in turn supplemented by whatever they can steal from their adversaries, trade for on the black market and collect as payment from the rather unpleasant or desperate people/aliens who would be inclined to hire his band for mercenary work.

Blacklaw's earliest raids were against lightly defended targets and were largely indistinguishable from the simple, yet ugly cost of doing business in an area prone to piracy. The attack that brought him to the attention of sector level authorities was a daring raid on the planet of Elysia itself that had been cleverly masked by multiple diversonary raids on outlying bases/facilities. This raid was in truth not massively destructive, however a large number of people were either killed, wounded/maimed or captured by his gang, this led to the freshly promoted Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Logann Powler to begin a hunt for Blacklaw and his band that would draw in a considerable amount of Imperial manpower and war machines, along with "private contractors", plus an eldar corsair fleet led by Logann's wife, Elrana, culminating with the supposed death of the now infamous Freebooter on an icy planetoid in the fringes of the Elysian system.

Blacklaw's band was much reduced during this raid, and the Freebooter himself was severely injured, losing an eye, leg and hand to an explosion that was assumed to have killed him. It took the wily Kaptin time and effort to rebuild his band after this severe setback, it took considerably less time for one of the local meckboys to give him the standard orky prosthetics. ("Polly" survived these events unharmed, and Blacklaw continues to dote on his parrot and much to said "parrot"'s dismay.) Some 10 years after this defeat, after a good deal of scheming, plotting and other assorted Skullduggery, Blacklaw and his now renewed band of freebooters are back in the business of "kunningly" killing people, smashing things, and stealing other things.

His attacks have been drawing ever increasing amounts of Imperial attention, Logann and company in particular want him dead and gone for real this time, in spite of this, he has shown himself to be surprisingly resilient either avoiding assassination attempts/deathwatch assaults or setting a highly successful trap for his hunters. The Imperium, and the Elysian authorities in particular are committing ever increasing amounts of military force and espionage efforts to the destruction of Blacklaw and his freebooterz, Logann and Elrana's force is just one of the groups hunting him. It is only a matter of time before matters are brought to a conclusion of some sort, with Blacklaw either being driven out/killed or Him establishing his own little mini-empire in a place right where the Imperium and the Elysians in particular do not want such an empire to be. However, this moment of decision may still be a long way off as the Elysian Warp Hole draws greater amounts of attention then his mid-sized band of freebooterz. He and his band have also been known to do mercenary work for various unscrupulous patrons. Although, again, He and his boyz will have nothing to do with Chaos gitz.

==Kayleth of Alaitoc==
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%"> '''''The Perpetually Underfunded'''''
Kayleth has mastered small unit tactics, because she very rarely gets anything larger than a handful of soldiers. Alaitoc maintains Kayleth, and her flexible, freewheeling barely more than a company of soldiers, purely as a social nicety, when they don't much care for the Imperium, or anyone else outside of their spartan and rigid social structure. Alaitoc has armies. They can take worlds, if it's called for. But they only lend meager forces out to the Imperium, purely as lip service to the idea of unity. Not that they're shy about gaining glory. To maintain status among their peers, they send their soldiers to the most challenging of conflicts as the pride of Alaitoc demands.

And Kayleth is the one that has to somehow bridge the gap between her inadequate supply, and the impossible missions she's assigned.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

She isn't pleasant to work with. Cold, imperious, and ill suited for cooperation. But very careful, more than she lets on, about her allies. After a tragic friendly fire incident with a fellow eldar force, she's privately vowed not to let something like that happen again. She has an eclectic group in support. Warlock Veldoran, a sage veteran, acting as the voice of reason and diplomat at times. The Farseer Elenwe, who has taken a vow of silence as part of a fringe philosophy in Alaitoc. For whatever reason, and the suspicion of some, Elenwe only communicates with Warlock Veldoran. And Ronahn, a pathfinder from Ulthwe, and, to some concern, an outcast Ulthran.

Kayleth trusts and respects them more than her own family. And she also is driven nuts by them all. Veldoran is a pompous, inflexible windbag that constantly harps on what's proper and undermines her authority. Elenwe is a farseer that only shares prophecies with Veldoran of all people, and Ronahn...Less said the better.

That being said, Kayleth is a resourceful and seasoned commander who has managed to thrive with what little Alaitoc shares with her. She tries to stay dignified and commanding in the face of her quasi-independent operation's dwindling fortunes, and she is never one to turn away frorm a fight. But, the memories of the friendly fire incident wear at her, and have made her unwilling to cooperate with other forces, for fear of repeating the prior incident. And she's taken a few (To put it diplomatically) unofficial assignments. Without proper support frorm Alaitoc who consider her work unsuitable for their craftworld, Kayleth has had at times to be creative in making sure her soldiers are fed and equipped. Though she would never act against her own craftworld's interests, or the Imperium's interests, she has done work for money rather than honor before. Don't call her a mercenary, she doesn't like that.

She prefers to put on a model of being an honorable soldier of her craftworld, and is all business. But a few rounds of amasec, and she curses like a voidsman, and is none too shy in explaining just everything wrong with everyone around her. If you break down the barriers when sober, you'll find that she can be a good, if suspicious ally, always second guessing you, and herself.

== Khaine ==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

Khaine. Khaine. Kaela Mensha Khaine. Khaine the Bloody Handed.

In order to fully comprehend the functioning of the Imperium, it is necessary to understand Khaine. Khaine is noteworthy one of the few extremely powerful entities still fully aligned with the Imperium, not to mention worshipped as a god of war by a significant minority of its population. However, in order to fully understand Khaine it is necessary to have some understanding of the War in Heaven…

The War in Heaven is by far the most popular part of the eldar collective consciousness. However, the eldar’s penchant for favoring dramatic license and poetic justice over accuracy and sixty-five million years of oral tradition has made the history of the original events all but lost to time. It is often said, even amongst the Eldar, that at any given time in the Imperium there are at least three different versions of the War in Heaven being performed and all of them are wrong. In some versions of the story Khaine was a valiant warrior, whereas in others Khaine sided with the C’tan to make war upon the eldar gods. Distinctions between the war between the Old Ones and the Necrontyr and the later quarrel between the eldar gods are similarly murky. Perhaps the only people who know the true events of the war between the eldar gods are Cegorach, Isha, and the Harlequins of the Black Library, preserving the memory in the event that truth proves more important than fiction.

When the eldar and their gods returned from their exodus into the Webway at the end of the War in Heaven, they found the galaxy to be an empty place. The Old Ones, the Yngir, and all of the other races had seemed to disappear. The eldar did manage to make contact with the K’nib, who had survived the war mostly intact, but shortly after [[Nobledark_Imperium_Notes#Apep|the K’nib completely vanished and the eldar never heard from them again]]. The eldar had virtually free reign over the entire galaxy. And as expected it almost immediately devolved into in-fighting.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Khaine, lesser twin to Asuryan, did not handle the end of the War in Heaven well. Originally a god of murder elevated to include war in his portfolio, his mind struggled to reconcile the concepts of honor and discipline in battle with the fact that war, at its core, boiled down to systematic murder. In addition, despite having being victorious, his body has been injured in his legendary battle with the Kaelis Ra, the Nightbringer, bringing a great sickness upon him. Never one to exhibit great self-control even before the War in Heaven, Khaine was nearly driven to madness by the time Lileath came upon him.

Shortly after the eldar emerged from the Webway and began building their empire, Lileath, Lileath the maiden, Lileath the dreamer, Litheath the schemer, had a vision. She saw that one day, in the future, the actions of the mortal eldar would strike Khaine and destroy him. It is not entirely clear why Lileath acted the way she did on this knowledge. She might have succumbed to the foolishness of youth or, more likely, she had some sort of plan in mind. Nevertheless, she did what most would consider the absolute worst thing one could have done with this knowledge. She told Khaine.

Khaine’s wrath, as expected, was fiery and immediate. The eldar never stood a chance. Khaine had been a war hero to the eldar, a symbol of eldar strength in the face of unimaginable adversaries. Now he was cutting them down like they were crops for the harvest. Isha wept at the sight of the slaughter, and she and the rest of the eldar pantheon immediately petitioned Asuryan to stop Khaine, as he was one of the only beings with the power to reign in his bloodthirsty sibling. Asuryan responded by decreeing a barrier of separation between the eldar and the gods. The eldar gods were no longer to walk among mortals, and mortals were no longer allowed in the realm of the gods. The mortal eldar were no longer being killed, Khaine no longer had anything to fear, and by Asuryan’s reckoning everyone should have been happy.

Khaine was pleased by the turn of events, but Isha was not. Cut off from her mortal children, she wept at her plight, and her husband Kurnous could do naught but console her. Vaul, the kind-hearted smith god, could not stand this, and forged Isha’s tears into the first spirit stones so that gods and mortals could still communicate with one another from across the veil. Khaine was infuriated when he discovered Isha and Kurnous violating Asuryan’s decree, and demanded that Asuryan punish them, going so far as to ask his brother that he be made an arbiter of Asuryan’s wrath. Asuryan reluctantly agreed, allowing Khaine to do with them as he wished, and he tortured Isha and Kurnous in a pit of hot fire. Vaul could not stand this, and bargained with Khaine that he would give Khaine one hundred blades of the finest make as payment for Isha and Kurnous’ release and reparation for their offense.

Vaul worked for almost a year to get the gift ready, finishing ninety-nine of the one hundred swords. However, he was unable to finish his masterpiece in time, and slipped the finest blade of mortal make into the gift, hoping that it would act as a good enough placeholder and the splendor of his masterpiece would be enough to not only make up for it, but to win over Khaine himself. Unfortunately, Khaine immediately noticed the mortal blade and decried that he had been tricked, and that because of this he would not release Isha and Kurnous. What’s more, he claimed he would visit Vaul personally for his treachery. Vaul was similarly incensed at Khaine’s sadism and oathbreaking, using his anger to fuel the final forging of his masterpiece, Anaris. When Khaine arrived at Vaul’s forge, Vaul stood before the war god, wielding his masterwork blade, and said he would repay Khaine’s missing blade with interest, point-first. Vaul was an artificer without measure but he was not the duelist that Khaine was, and despite Vaul’s ferocity Khaine crippled the smith god and chained him to his anvil.

These actions caused a flurry of activity and division among the gods. Some decried Khaine, saying that he had gone too far in the pursuit of justice and his actions had become cruel and petty. Others argued against their kin, saying that Isha, Kurnous, and Vaul had sinned and it was Khaine’s right to extract satisfaction from them. The disagreements soon became too much to bear, and the gods came to blows. The mortal eldar were soon divided among similar lines as the gods went to war. Only Asuryan and Lileath stayed neutral in the conflict, and both soon realized that something had to be done.

The War in Heaven produced many mortal eldar heroes, among all others the twin brothers Eldanesh and Ulthanesh. The two were legendary for uniting the Eldar people to fight off the monstrous cannibalistic Mon-Keigh even before the Old Ones arrived. Eldanesh had fought alongside Khaine numerous times including Khaine’s legendary battle with the Nightbringer, to the point where the war god regarded him a friend and a blood brother. Uthanash stood with Vaul when he faced the Void Dragon and was one of the few mortal survivors of that fateful conflict. Each was granted a boon for their service in the War in Heaven. Eldanesh, for his fame and legend, was elevated to demigodhood, not truly immortal but able to walk side by side with the gods. Ulthanesh on the other hand was named the supreme leader of the mortal eldar peoples. Despite this great honor, Ulthanesh saw this boon as playing second fiddle to his brother and resented him for it, souring their relationship.

Asuryan decreed he would call upon Eldanesh, who as a demigod was the only mortal still allowed to set food in the realm of the gods, to act as a third party to judge Khaine’s actions. Khaine agreed to this, believing that the validation of one mortal was all that he needed to show his actions had been justified and that as his blood brother Eldanesh would defend him. But Eldanesh took one look at the situation, and while he reaffirmed that Khaine was his friend and he loved him, told him that the other gods were right. He told Khaine that he needed to act less like a child, and more like an adult. Enraged, Khaine struck Eldanesh across the face for his blasphemy. But Khaine was a god, whereas Eldanesh was but a mere demi-god. The blow broke his neck, and Eldanesh died on the spot.

When Khaine struck Eldanesh, the rage lifted from his mind and he saw in horror what he had done. Asuryan swooped in, punishing Khaine for betraying a sworn blood brother and striking them down in cold blood. On Shaa-Dome, Uthanesh felt the loss of his brother and vowed retribution against Khaine, and the eldar people were once more united. And so Khaine became Kaela Mensha Khaine, the bloody handed, forever cursed to drip blood from his hands in punishment. In truth, the meeting between Khaine and Eldanesh was little more than a plot by Asuryan and Lileath. They had hoped the mortal comrade of Khaine could talk the war god down, but were more than willing to entertain the possibility of Khaine striking down Eldanesh if that failed. Either way the rage of the war god would be quelled and the increasingly ridiculous war between gods would be over.

The history of Khaine post-War in Heaven is much better known. In the millennia since the War in Heaven Khaine worship had dramatically decreased (especially once the eldar had few serious threats left in the galaxy), to the point that by the time the Fall occurred Khaine worship had actually been banned (and subsequently reversed) on several separate occasions. Even when Khaine worship was allowed, Khaine was often seen as a deity that was to be appeased rather than beseeched, and was only openly worshipped by some segments of the Old Empire’s military.

Khaine himself had slightly mellowed by the passing of Eldanesh. He was still the short-tempered god of murder and war, but following the death of Eldanesh Khaine seems to have purged the madness from his system and become more disciplined. When Slaanesh was born, Khaine took up the unlikely position of protecting Isha from Slaanesh after Lileath, Asuryan, Morai-Heg, Qah, and all the other gods had fallen. Khaine fought valiantly against Slaanesh, despite Slaanesh being powered by the souls of nearly the entire Eldar pantheon and 90% of the Eldar race. However, Slaanesh was prevented from devouring Khaine by the intervention of Khorne, who claimed that as the Blood King of the Galaxy and undisputed lord of all forms of war Khaine was rightfully his vassal, and the neonate god/dess needed to know their place. Unfortunately in the ensuing battle Khaine was shattered into pieces, which eventually found their way to the various Craftworlds in the form of iron and wraithbone idols emerging from the Craftworld’s Infinity Circuit.

In terms of battle, the Avatar of Khaine is one of the strongest singular entities the Imperium can field. Only the Emperor, Empress, or Cegorach can match Khaine in raw power, and even a Custodian, Grey Knight, Handmaiden, or Harlequin Troupe Master would be likely to fall before the Avatar’s onslaught. The Avatar is a juggernaut, a living mass of molten rock and metal, trampling anything that stands in its path. In M38, the Avatar of Iyanden was awakened to face down Hive Fleet Kraken in Iyanden’s darkest hour and cut an ichor-slicked path towards one of the Hive Fleet’s Hive Tyrants before being dogpiled by a dozen carnifexes. The Avatar eventually went down, but took six of the carnifexes with it (crushing one’s skull beneath its heel and vomiting molten slag on another) and managed to take the Hive Tyrant’s head from its shoulders. The Avatar wields the Wailing Doom, the favored weapon of Khaine dating back to the days of the War in Heaven, which gets its name from the ethereal howling the weapon makes as it is swung through the air. The Wailing Doom is capable of transforming into virtually any simple weapon, a sword, a spear, a mace, a bow, whatever it feels is best suited to harming its foe.

Yet awakening the Avatar of Khaine is not without cost. Creating an Avatar of Khaine requires two components: the iron and wraithbone statue at the heart of every eldar Craftworld that hold Khaine’s essence, and a suitable mortal host. Every year, one among each Craftworld’s most skilled Aspect Warriors is elected to a position called The Young King, named in honor of Eldanesh’ sacrifice. This is a position of great respect, but potentially one of great danger. For if the future is threatened by great danger, and there is no other choice, the Young King enters the Avatar’s chambers to awaken it and become one with Khaine.

Awakening an Avatar of Khaine is essentially the same kind of possession that created Macha-Isha, and although each avatar is only a fragment of Khaine’s power, Khaine is not gentle like Isha. Short channelings of the Avatar are survivable with immediate medical attention. Longer bouts run the risk of severe brain damage. Extended channelers are lucky to survive as Soulstones, or are outright consumed by the Avatar. However, once an Avatar is awakened, it remains active so long as there are enemies to slay and the host’s willpower holds. The longest an Avatar has been active was the Avatar of Biel-Tan in 892.M41, which {DATA EXPUNGED BY ORDER OF THE INQUISITION}. If the physical avatar is destroyed, its totem eventually reforms in its respective Craftworld, unless the Craftworld itself is lost.

Today, worship of Khaine is unsurprisingly much more popular among the eldar. The eldar have been laid low and the galaxy has been in a state of war for more than ten millennia. Even if this were not the case, Khaine is one of the last remaining connections the eldar have to their pre-Fall culture. Khaine is even worshipped as a war god by humans and other species in some highly eldar-influenced parts of the Imperium. Indeed, Khaine actually likes humanity and approves of the relationship between humanity and the eldar, if for all the wrong reasons. Khaine’s animosity towards his own people comes from two factors: the fact that Lileath prophesized that the Eldar would be responsible for his own downfall, and the fact that the Craftworld and Exodite eldar deny their darker natures and try to downplay any acts of violence through self-justification (the Dark Eldar don’t worship him at all, seeing him as weak due to being shattered by Khorne and Slaanesh). No such prophecy exists regarding humanity or the other races and Khaine actually likes how humans are more in touch with their baser instincts and are less likely to dress up their killings with false tears or excuses. For most humans, who don’t see themselves as a species of murderers and try to hold themselves to higher ideals, this is rather disturbing. Khaine has even showed respect for several individual non-Eldar, such as Marneus Calgar, who he fought alongside several times and was enraged when he was brought low by the Swarmlord.

The future of Khaine is uncertain. Some say that Khaine shall be reforged and made whole again (either by the Phoenix Lords or by the forges of Vaul himself, which makes no sense), no longer molten metal and half-baked rock but pure fire and red-hot iron, in preparation for the Rhana Dandra. Others say he will fight side by side with another god of war to strike down Khorne, though who that could be nobody knows. Some even say he will claim the Skull Throne at the end of Rhana Dandra. While many wonder how that could be a good thing others say at least Khaine is a known quantity, and better he claim that mantle of power than anybody else.

Grand Empress Isha, as might be expected, isn’t a big fan of Khaine. She pities him for his situation, for he is still her kin, but she has not and will not forget what he did. Cegorach’s opinion of Khaine is as opaque as always. It is clear he disapproved of Khaine’s actions after the War in Heaven, he did side with Vaul after all, but at the same time Khaine is one of the few beings left in the galaxy he can call family. Even if he disapproves of his methods, it may be necessary for the Laughing God to stay on Khaine’s good side for his plans to come to fruition. The Emperor has only ever met Khaine on a scant few occasions, never long enough to have any meaningful discussion, and never without supervision from Isha. Isha knows what happened the last time Khaine was allowed access to a demigod unattended.

== Kharn the Oathsworn ==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' The World Eater '''''

As a champion pit fighter, Angron was often given his pick of the slave pens for concubines or servants. However, he would find the most downtrodden child slaves and claim them, raising them as his own children. Even after his Thunder Warrior augments and the ensuing madness and instability, he never raised his voice or lifted a hand at any of them.
Kharn was the first and eldest of Angron's adopted children, and against his father's wishes he bullied his way into receiving the Mk III MP Astartes augments. They would continue to butt heads even as Kharn rose through the legion, but Angron was privately fiercely proud of him. One of Kharn's most treasured memories was when his father surveyed the order and control Kharn brought to the savage legion, and turned to him and said simply "You've done well. In this, and everything else."

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Most historians agree, Kharn the Oathsworn was a pretty magnanimous guy. Whereas Angron commanded the War Hounds through his charisma and willingness to be first in, last out, Kharn led the War Hounds by being a father to his men. He would do anything for them, no matter the cost, and they knew it. When Kharn first joined the War Hounds, he essentially started out as the beleaguered assistant to Angron, albeit one with a lot more proficiency with a chainsword. Whereas Angron was the face of the legion and kept morale high, Kharn was often the one who dealt with actual logistics and kept the wheels greased from day to day. As Angron’s health gradually deteriorated, Kharn found himself increasingly taking on more and more of the responsibilities of running the War Hounds, until he was essentially the leader of the legion in all but name.

This is not to say Angron was stupid, or Kharn was not a ferocious warrior. Indeed, the two men were more similar than they were different. It is just that the two men tended to play to their strengths when Angron was in command of the legion. Indeed, Angron could actually be rather insightful, it’s just that he tended to be rather straightforward; no need to plan some grand, circuitous strategy when it is possible for you to just go straight from point A to B. In fact, in one instance Guilliman is said to have said of Angron “it was a true pity that the galaxy had wasted such a mind on such a simpleton”.

But there is another name used to describe Kharn, one that is spoken in whispered in hushed tones. The Berserker. The World Eater. Although he never lived it down until the end of his days, the tale of Kharn’s secret shame is a story of how easy it is for men to become monsters, and monsters to become men.

The world was a recently pacified one, one that had seemingly welcomed the Imperium with open arms. Kharn had been dispatched to the world alongside ten other members of what were at that time the most advanced model of Astartes developed. It was supposed to be a simple training exercise between the new Astartes and the local PDF, to see how well marines could operate alongside conventional forces. It turned into a disaster. After setting up camp, Kharn was invited to drink and party with the other members of the Astartes unit. Kharn politely turned them down, preferring to keep his mind clear for the task at hand the next morning. He awoke to a tragedy. His men were all dead, having been poisoned in the night by a technorganic venom specifically designed to work in spite of Astartes physiology.

Kharn went apeshit.

For the next few days, PDF forces were terrorized by an incredibly angry space marine, armed with just a chainsword, a bolter with two rounds in it, and a single-minded desire to know who did this to his men and where to mail their body parts to their next of kin.

The planet had been secretly manufacturing illegal techno-organic monstrosities, and believed the arrival of the contingent of space marines represented the beginnings of an Imperial investigation, rather than an exercise in friendship. Kharn found this out the hard way, when he was led into a trap surrounded by an army of these creations, an accompaniment of traitorous PDF, and the military commander who had overseen the poisoning of his men. The soldiers demanded Kharn’s unconditional surrender. Kharn simply raised his chainsword, and flicked the switch.

It is not clear what happened in the aftermath of that battle, as there were few survivors. The only person capable of walking off the battlefield was Kharn himself, yet given his mental state his testimony is probably not the most accurate. According to the War Hounds, who claim to have heard this story from Kharn himself, Kharn stayed on the battlefield in a daze, muttering the names of his lost men to himself over and over again. According to Kharn, he only snapped out of his trance when he noticed there was a child on the battlefield, a girl who could not have been more than twelve. Seeing the girl made the gears in Kharn’s head start moving again, and slowly he pulled himself out of his daze.
He approached the young girl, taking off his helmet when he realized its visage frightened her, and asked where her parents were. She said she was lost, she had wandered through the woods curious about the noises coming from the battlefield, but she couldn’t find her way back. “Well,” Kharn supposedly said, “let’s see if we can do something about that”, and the two of them walked off the battlefield.

The planet at first tried to claim Kharn had gone AWOL, but Kharn only had to point at the bodies of the technorganic monstrosities and the bodies of his dead comrades and let the evidence speak for itself. Having single-handedly brought an entire army to its knees, the planet threw itself upon the mercy of the Imperium. Kharn had in effect conquered an entire planet in a single day. Thus, the World Eater. Kharn was not proud of the nickname, as it was a reminder of how easily his control had slipped his leash, and he had almost lost himself. The War Hounds existed as a unit longer than most Space Marine legions, but eventually it came time for them, too, to break apart into chapters, most naming themselves after some famous appellation or event in their legion. When that happened, Kharn had one simple request.

“In the years since the incident had taken place, some of the more impressionable members of our legion have taken the wrong message from my story, using the term ‘World Eater’ as a badge of pride. That is not what I intended. As warriors, we must be passionate, yes, but we must also be well-trained and disciplined, or else we risk becoming the very thing we fight. We are War Hounds. Not World Eaters.”

Despite being Terran-born, Kharn only visited his old homeworld a few times after the beginning of the Great Crusade. Like all Old Earthers he and his fellow soldiers held Old Earth in reverence. When they left it a new golden age was starting. Earth had never been so lovely as when he left it. The next time he saw his home was when he returned to defend it during the War of the Beast. It broke his hearts. Shortly after that Kharn had to return to bury his foster father Angron. At that time Perturabo was rebuilding and although it was at the midpoint of the project Earth was starting to know beauty again. But it wasn't the same.

Kharn the Oathsworn never came to Earth again in life, although his body was buried beneath the orchard that now stands where the village he grew up in once was.

== Kroq-Gar ==

EDITOR'S NOTE: Name is a placeholder, needs change. Per original writefag character is as much a mash-up of Kroq-Gar and Grymloq and Karl Franz and Deathclaw than anything else. "Vhashaki" was suggested.

The Tarellian Neo-Confederacy doesn’t have a centralized leader, per se. As a confederacy, each of the Tarellian worlds are nominally independent, free to pursue their own desires as they wish. However, in practice, most of the Tarellian worlds tend to follow the lead or at least respect the wisdom of the leader of Nova Tarellia, who tends to command the Neo-Confederacy through sheer force of personality rather than any formalized bonds. The current leader of Neo-Tarellia is Lord Kroq-Gar. Many Tarellian Lords see him as a bit of a meathead. For humans, this is rather surprising, as Kroq-Gar doesn’t come off as dumb or rash. Tarellians seem to have the same kind of mind as the Old Ones did, slow and methodical as opposed to hot-headed (the Tau, on the other hand, immediately see what the Tarellians are talking about). However, if one spends an extended period of time with Lord Kroq-Gar it is possible to see what the Tarellians mean. Kroq-Gar is obsessed with glory and disdainful of psykers and spycraft, though he isn’t fool enough to forego their use entirely. Although a skilled leader and politician Kroq-Gar lives for the excitement of battle, and his elevation to Tlatoani was as much based on his skill on the battlefield as his statecraft.

And of course one cannot speak of Kroq-Gar without mentioning his faithful companion Grymloq, a ferocious Kurnousaur from the Maiden World of Atla-Lorre. The region of space to the galactic north of the Tarellian Neo-Confederacy is home to the densest cluster of Maiden Worlds in the galaxy, including Halathel, the most densely populated Exodite world. Several decades ago, the Exodites came under threat from one of their other neighbors, the Arch-Mangler of Bork. Upon hearing the plight of the Exodites and the scale of the green tide they faced, Kroq-Gar set out with an army to their aid. The two forces eventually met at the Maiden World of Atla-Lorre, where the Tarellians joined the fray alongside the native Exodites. Packs of Tarellian warriors swarmed through the understory of Atla-Lorre, fighting Ork Boyz with kultarr and disruptor rifle in the dense jungle, eventually breaking the advance of the WAAAGH! alongside the Exodites. In gratitude for coming to the defense of their world the Exodites of Atla-Lorre presented Kroq-Gar with one of their greatest honors, the unhatched egg of a mighty Kurnousaur, taken from deep within the jungles of their world. Kroq-Gar raised Grymloq from a hatchling, and the Kurnousaur has rewarded him with his loyalty ever since.

== Lynn Mywin ==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

Lynn Mywin was born to the eldar of Féin-Cineál in or about the year 620 of the 41st Millennium and the youngest child of her immediate family. Both her parents were loving parents advancing into their fourth millennium when they had her, both having been married several times before and both having had many children with previous partners and each other, her half-siblings all counted both living and dead Lynn Mywin was in fact the youngest of almost three hundred children and felt that her chances of ever living up to their combined legacy was not remotely achievable. The eldar of Féin-Cineál are known for having large families and putting emphasis on the family as the basic measure of civilization but her family was excessive and was eventually declared a clan of it's own, something historically seldom achieved whilst in the lifetime of the progenitors.

The vast majority of the Mywin family were loyal, productive and morally upstanding citizens that any craftworld would be proud to call their own. True none of them were great movers and shakers of note but typically they did their jobs diligently and competently and seldom showed up in police records. Having so many contributing members of the family and so little of those to detriment ensured the family's prosperity and that prosperity was shared among it's members rather than hoarded in a treasury. There were black sheep to the family, with so many how could their not be, but their transgressions were minor things typically made of bad judgements rather than outright malice.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Lynn Mywin was a more willful black sheep. Mywins typically got jobs of a solid and tangible nature, indeed the patriarch Athafan was a shipwright and bonesinger and the matriarch Rhyangaala was a meteorologist. Lynn Mywin did not pursue sensible paths. Throughout her childhood and adolescence she had dabbled with the paths of the artist and the paths of the poet, both paths taken by The Betrayer. It might have been that these were a childish little rebellion against her somewhat overcaring parents, many in the family believed that she was shown a lot more tolerance for such foolishness than they had been and it was time for some good Mywin sense to be slapped into her. But Lynn was the last child Athafan and Rhyangaala could have together and they knew it and they found that they couldn't scold her too harshly. They regretted spoiling the child by sparing the rod when Lynn's first official path was a path of the Musician and the full range of interests shared by The Betrayer was complete.

Rhyangaala and Athafan pondered this deeply and meditated on the subject with heavy hearts but the stories of The Chronicle that dealt wit The Betrayer they couldn't see in their little girl. The Betrayer was a foul thing whereas little Mywin with ribbons in her hair and a moonlyre in her hands was as innocent as the music she made, and the music she made promised to one day be beautiful as her aptitudes were not insignificant. But, as the rest of the family pointed out, The Betrayer was innocent once upon a time. In her fifty-fifth year, the age of full maturity among the Féin-Cineáli, Lynn Mywin was fifteen years down her Path of Music and had been asked to perform at a minor function for the governor of Leigh-2, the world her particular enclave called home. This was the last straw for her parents, they knew that such encouragement would push their daughter down the path of vanity and if she wasn't like The Betrayer now she would be one day. They ordered her away to the military to serve in the PDF of Leigh-2 and maybe even be transferred to the Guard should she prove worthy and therefore far away from dishonest temptations. This was devastating to the young Lynn Mywin.

By the strange chance or the blessings of a trickster god that night the Enclave was visited by Inquisitor Silas Hand who was in need of information found within the enclave's copy of The Chronicle. Normal procedure for an outsider to see The Chronicle required the authorization of the head of one of the clans, a meeting of the five most prominent clans and the presence of three witnesses, typically the head farseer, the head autarch and the head spiritseer. All of this would take time and Inquisitor Hand was hunting swift prey. The black sheep of the Mywin had long ago memorized her father's access codes and lead the Inquisitor to vaulted hall in which The Chronicle was kept. Inquisitor Hand quickly found the information he needed, the resting place of a Rogue Trader once who visited the Féin-Cineáli in many thousands of years past and that the possessed prison-artifact in question had not been passed on to some unsuspecting heir but was dragged with him into the grave on some frozen world now buried uder a hundred foot of glacial ice. Silas Hand, scarred and weathered, decided that for a short time the galaxy could survive without him having to patch it up and took a day off for the first time in years. Lynn's parents, her entire huge and extended family and every other eldar of any station in the enclave were quite angry with her blatant disregard for procedure and they were not very subtle or tactful in expressing their considerable ire even after Lynn pointed out that it was the duty of all good Imperial citizens to aid the Inquisition. In truth the others of her kind and kin who knew her knew that she hadn't acted with noble intentions but merely to cause mischief and in truth they weren't as wrong as she knew and would claim.

In a moment of rebellion, ill timed or fortuitous bleeding together, the young Mywin approached the Inquisitor on the hour of his departure and asked that she could join him and his motley band of hard-bitten agents. Inquisitor hand was himself not without a sense of mischief and we can only guess of his motives. Maybe he thought a few weeks away from soft beds and warm foods would teach her a much needed lesson, maybe he saw something of himself much younger in her eyes or maybe he saw something of genuine worth. All that is known is that when Hand left Lynn was with him turning her back on kin and clan and enclave and weeping parents who were distraught believing that at the finish they had failed; their daughter now walked a path of darkness far from home and hearth and the love of family. Despair gripped them and held them for a long time, sorrows upon sorrow for the little girl they believed they had driven away.

A hundred years or there about Lynn Mywin did return. She did not skip and dance as the innocent near-child she had been when she left. He hands and skin were not maiden soft. Her eyes were not the eyes of an artist. Now she was a woman of the Inquisition, she walked with a swagger and the confident stride not borne of childish ignorance but a proven hardness. Her skin was scarred and tough boot leather. Her eyes were the eyes of a musician beyond the judgment of potential percussion offered by the average boot to skull. A century of having the shit kicked out of her had cost her her innocence but she did not miss it in the slightest and in it's place had grown if not wisdom then a degree of highly refined cunning that was almost as good. Her parent's, once the shock had worn off, were beyond joy to see her not just alive but uncorrupted. Her was her daughter, they would proudly declare, working for the Inquisition.

In the years since Lynn Mywin has been from hubworlds to the galactic fringes, she has stood on distant Old Earth and Cadia and a thousand other worlds. She has served many masters, hunted many foes, saved countless millions if not billions, taken many trophies, taken may lovers, done work in the shadows that would turn the stomach of lesser people and dragged such horrors into the light of day for judgment. In the Inquisition her reputation is as checkered as her tattoo collection due to her "creative" interpretation of orders and occasional bouts of convenient deafness. She will never be an Inquisitor she has been told in no uncertain terms as she lacks the temperament and holy shit will she be the first to tell you that but she never really wanted to be.

Of the Féin-Cineáli? They are at one and the same immensely proud of her and deeply ashamed. On the one hand she is an agent of the Inquisition and a damn good one. On the other hand she is Apostate. She has forsaken the Paths and risks walking the road of perpetual torment, she stands upon the edge of the abyss and looks down into the maelstrom of riling, twisting madness of emotions left unchecked. Such worries, she would claim, are in vein. She has her duty in place of a Path. She might live loud, live hard, take lovers as she wants them, drink when she's thirsty, eat when hungry, fight when angry and follow her heart and gut as much as her head but when the chips are down she can show a focus that would make an Exarch proud.

Some wonder still if she is still truly Féin-Cineáli; she typically wears a grubby vest several sizes too big, pants cut out of an inner layer of a broken space suit, a beret, catachan boots and a set of ident-tags. Her weapons are a big Catachan Cutta' Knife, and a much repaired laser rifle of unusual make. For all the world she looks like a low-pay mercenary culled from the underhive of some impoverished core world but questions of her membership of the Féin-Cineáli is not asked when she is present, entertaining the youth with tales of daring do and strange adventures on distant worlds despite the improper influence this is considered on impressionable young minds. Two considerations of this, her family, and her parents in particular, are fiercely protective of her name and they might all follow into Exile over choosing to stay and the loss isn't worth one delinquent eldars expulsion. The other is that many of them, the better connected of the matriarchs and patriarchs, have heard about the things that she has done and are absolutely sure that none of their bodyguards and champions could save them from her ire should she turn it upon them in retaliation.

As for Lynn Mywin herself? She doesn't think about it too much. In the years since her fateful meeting with Old Man Hand she has seen much, met many strange and interesting people, killed a lot of them. If she is exiled they will have to enforce it and she knows that none of them are stupid enough to try it and the once that are aren't capable enough. But for now the Imperium is under threat and she knows she must do her small part to end those threats, as all good citizens should to the best of their abilities.

== Inquisitor Logann Powler ==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

Born into a long line of proud Elysian soldiers, Logann's early life was filled with indoctrination, and schooling, various subtle and not so subtle propaganda films about the brave and heroic actions of the famed drop regiments of his home planet filled his young mind with thoughts of glorious adventure. His Psyker powers manifested around shortly after his eighth birthday and his family bid him a tearful farewell at a local spaceport when he was taken by the blackships to Terra for training. He returned to Elysia shortly after his seventeenth birthday to a tearful, but happy reunion with his family. Logann developed a set of mostly average psyker powers with the exception of highly potent precognitive abilities, and he fully intended on realizing his childhood dreams of glory in the drop regiments, he promptly enlisted, excelled in basic training, and thanks to his skills as a soldier, precognitive powers and a bit of nudging from some influential members of his family/extended family he was signed onto the freshly raised 434th Drop Regiment where his skill with various arms, armor, psyker powers(mainly precog here, as his other abilities are thoroughly average) quickly led to him being one of the more effective soldiers in his regiment. A few years after his recruitment into the regiment Logann and his fellow Drop Troopers had experience dealing with mostly trivial threats in between RnR planetside that mostly involved Elysian booze and joygirls.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Then, Logann, along with the rest of the 434th were inducted into the Ordo Xenos branch of the Inquisition to deal with a mostly standard Ork Freebooter threat in the Elysia system that was only really exceptional for it's size, but was still the first major threat this regiment would face so far, and it was during this time that the Inquisitor in charge of the operation became aware of his capabilities. After that threat had been dealt with, Logann(along with a few dozen other veterans of his regiment who had also impressed the inquisitor) was offered a position as an acolyte at the relatively young age of 20, he accepted, and began a 26 year long employment in the Ordo Xenos, hunting various Xenos Horrificus level threats for the most part, and occasionally dealing with a few of the more hostile Xenos Independens, he distinguished himself in these tasks and was promoted to Inquisitor when he was still rather young for the job, receiving rejuvenant treatments at this time.

It was during his time in the inquisition that he met the eldar corsair Elrana Gilsamia, the pair hit it off fairly quickly while they were working together dealing with various threats and ultimately became an item. Not all of his life has been rosy however, upon his return to Elysia with Elrana in tow to celebrate their marriage/couple status(or whatever the eldar use in this setting) and also Logann being promoted to a proper Inquisitor, Ork pirates from Blacklaw's Freebooter gang began a series of raids for loot and slaves killing a large number of people, including some of Logann's old friends from his time in the 434th Drop Regiment in the process. Recognizing an obvious threat to the Elysia system's security and incensed at this slaughter of his old warbuddies, plus the killing/enslavement of other people, Logann and Elrana both volunteered to help hunt down and eliminate Blacklaw and his gang. Although, to be fair, Elrana was also interested in the challenge of capturing such a hard target.

Thus began a 100 year long hunt for Blacklaw and his band. During this hunt Logann requisitioned some forces from the Elysian guard regiments(his old regiment were enthusiastic volunteers), some naval ships, a Deathwatch killteam (This team was commanded by Ducetius Valis, who would become a good friend of Logann and Elrana over the course of the pursuit of Blacklaw's freebooters) and hired some "private contractors" as well to beef up the rather modest force he inherited from his mentor, plus the more substantial force that Elrana brought to the table. For the first few decades of this hunt, Logann and Elrana thought that Blacklaw was just an exceptionally elusive freebooter, however the long period of dealing with diversionary raids, ambushes, booby traps, Blacklaw's associations with various renegade imperial elements, and plain old false positives when other freebooter bands would get caught and killed only for Blacklaw and company to start shit elsewhere at the same time or shortly thereafter helped to drive home the true difficulty of the task before them.

After 40 years of this,(and the destruction of a large number of renegades and ork freebooter bands that wound up not being Blacklaw's particular bunch of asteroid partisans) The couple submitted a request for and were granted further aid from the Deathwatch, who dispatched a few more of their Killteams to aid in the hunt for Blacklaw and his freebooters. After another 60 years of hunting, seeking and destroying that ultimately wound up drawing in some Adeptus Mechanicus forces as well due to constant raids on their Facilities by Blacklaw and his band, the infamous Freebooter and his group were finally cornered, and after a massive fleet and ground action were believed annihilated on an icy planetoid(think of a larger pluto, basically) in the Elysian system/sector. Logann was promptly promoted to the rank of Inquisitor Lord for this triumph, and he fully expected due to the massive amount of destruction caused to the various Non-Chaos threats in the sector that he would either be reinforcing Malleus/Hereticus/Securitas groups in the area or he and his wife could go and find some other group of Xenos Horrificus to hunt.

First and foremost though, it was time for Logann and Elrana to take a vacation for a couple of years, and for the soldiers and naval personnel under their collective command to get some RnR as well. It was during this period of down time that Logann and Elrana first wrote of their experiences hunting Blacklaw and crew, and the elysian propaganda films made based off this account have been making the pair a substantial sum of money from royalties ever since. Once this period of rest was concluded, the pair went back to work, hunting various Xenos threats in and around the Elysia system/sector and also being called upon by the Ordo Malleus, Hereticus and also the Ordo Securitas to provide support when needed to deal with threats caused by the Elysian Warp Hole(Logann had long since stopped viewing said warp anomaly as being all that impressive of a threat compared to other warp anomalies since his recruitment by the Inquisition, Elrana had always scoffed at the idea that it was a "Great Rift" based on both first and secondhand knowledge taught to her by her peers and gained during her career.).

At first, all was well for Logann, Elrana and their assorted subordinates. That is, until an Ordo Sicarius Inquisitor Lady by the name of Vanessia Arlens and her own impressively large "entourage" showed up. Vanessia explained diplomatically that she was there to "assist" Logann and company in their various endeavors, but Logann was familiar enough with the political situation at the local Inquisition Conclave to know that his rapid rise through the ranks, reliance upon mercenaries(Technically including Elrana and her Corsair fleet) and swift increase in influence in the Elysian System/Sector had caused eyebrows to rise and enemies to be made. Still, the pair tried to make the best of the situation, enlisting Vanessia's forces in their work against various Xenos Horrificus and the more hostile Xenos Independens threats that Logann and Elrana encountered in their own work.

Eventually, Vanessia's suspicions of Logann and his group subsided somewhat and what followed for the next eight years was fairly routine work of chasing orks and other assorted troublemakers through the Elysian system/sector mixed with providing support to other Inquisition efforts in said area, Logann, Elrana and pretty much all of Elysia largely viewed Blacklaw and his band as being a particularly bad memory by this point. Which is just about the time when he made his dramatic reappearance. A series of raids seemingly indistinguishable from standard ork and renegade pirate activity were used to disguise multiple well-planned surprise attacks on several important civilian and military facilities in the Elysia system/sector practically shattered the relative peace and quiet that had preceded said attacks and put the entire system/sector on military alert once again. Blacklaw and his band of pirates had made their return with a bang. This new series of raids also involved direct attacks on Inquisitorial Facilities in the area, which really helped to drive home the point of precisely how dangerous this particular band of freebooters and their Kaptin were to Imperial authorities outside of the local sector.

Logann and company, now well and truly aware of just how difficult it would be to permanently deal with their opposition, have been recruiting additional help from outside of the Elysia system/sector. The force that they have raised includes a varied assortment of soldiers, specialists, psykers, space marines, and anyone with some military experience fighting orks. Included in this assortment are their old friend Ducretius Valis and several Deathwatch kill-teams, as well as the Tau Shas'O Dal'yth Har'rus, a skilled (albeit rather naive regarding Blacklaw's unique capabilities) commander of the Fire Caste who brought a substantial combined arms force to aid in the hunt for the notorious Freebooter Kaptin and his band. Their search is hampered by both the obvious issues faced in the prior hunt(the various asteroid fields, planetoids, and assorted other space rocks in and around the Elysia system/sector are infested with Orks, Human renegades, and assorted other miscreants)but also problems caused by a recent flare up of the Elysian Warp Hole which has led more then once to Logann and company having to divert their forces/attention to aiding the other inquisitorial ordos in their own efforts.

It would seem, therefore, that the final conclusion of the hunt for Blacklaw and his Freebooter band, will take some time.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%"> '''''The Great Warmaster:'''''

Excerpt from ''“The Warmasters: Their Lives and Their Legacies,”'' by Remembrancer Vinnstan von Krausvitz

“…The rare few individuals elevated to the exalted rank of Warmaster were all famed leaders of great talent, and thus invariably invite comparison to their legendary predecessors, the Primarchs. As the greatest of the Warmasters, Macharius is the one most often held up to the Primarchs’ as an equal, and the Primarch Vulkan (with whom Macharius worked very closely) once said that Macharius possessed Lion El’Jonson’s idealism and tactical acumen, Roboute Guilliman’s eye for detail and planning, and Mortarion’s single-minded stubbornness. However, it is also said that Macharius had Angron’s temper, and on occasion Fulgrim’s love of carousing and drink.
Other Warmasters, such as Joanna of Aarkius, have been compared to…”

Fig. 1: A portrait of Marshal Macharius shortly after his promotion to Segmentum Obscurus Command at the young age of 78. Famously austere in his everyday life, Macharius shunned the elaborate uniforms and symbols of office of his peers, seen in the simple officer’s uniform he wears in this painting. Note the Star of Terra, the highest military commendation of the Imperium, pinned on his left chest, won for his actions as a colonel in the Battle of the Melas Gulf where he took command of a few broken regiments of guardsmen and a Navy cruiser wing after their commanders fell and set up a brilliant trap that destroyed a marauding Dark Eldar warband that was threatening the integrity of the entire subsector.

Fig. 2: A late portrait of Warmaster Macharius, painted at the age of 437 towards the end of the Macharian Crusades and his life. The second Star of Terra pinned on his right chest was won during First Macharian Crusade at the Battle of Granicor VI, where Macharius personally led the tank line in a surprise attack on the Khrave lines, breaking the bulk of their gathered army, which would lead to the eventual defeat and destruction of the Khrave Empire and the extinction of this particular species of Xenos Horrificus.

== Nakaidos ==

With the destruction of the [[Nobledark_Imperium_Members_States|Ulmeathic League]] by the tyranids and the resettlement of the refugee fleet on Imperial Worlds, the question of "who leads the Ulmeatheans" is rather difficult to answer. The on-paper answer to "Who leads the Ulmeathians currently?" is Nakaidos, Son of Nakai the White, one of the Ulmeathians' greatest warriors and perhaps the reason the refugee fleet survived; the opening their ships used to escape was created when the Hive-fleet found the defense he led on the planet was so stiff they decided to bomb his forces from orbit rather than keep wasting time with their usual wave tactics. Nakaidos was sent with the evacuees because he was too young to fight at the time. He has inherited his father's albino scales, as well as his hulking form and hide, making him big and tough even by Ulmeathian standards. Even if he wasn't descended from a hero, his strength would have won him the position anyway, not to mention his mind for fighting both on a personal and tactical level. The issue for him is that he's YOUNG, and fully aware of the enormous gaps that's left in both practical knowledge and experience for him. He's practically a child, yet the weight of a broken peoples and their beneficiaries are on his shoulders and he can't shirk those responsibilities because he's the strongest. He sees the problems his people face, but doesn't have the wisdom to find the solutions, so instead he puts on the brave face expected of him and does his best, and for all his failings at least recognizes that the counsel of others older and wiser can do wonders to fill in the gaps.

This is why there is a second answer; for practical purposes, the one doing most of the legwork of leading at the moment is Admiral Oscen, the Passerian who was in charge of the refugee fleet by virtue of being the highest-ranking survivor. He's missing an arm due to a Hormagaunt from when the Tyranids tried to take his ship, and he's missing an eye from when he shoved a Lictor into an airlock. Despite that, his demeanor is closer to that of a fond grandfather than a hardened general- his smile is still brilliant and warm, and his voice calming and filled with cheer. As the Passeri would say, "his song is still sweet." That more than anything is why even Ulmeathians listen to him- despite going through what might have been some of the worst fighting of the retreat to Imperial space and facing down horrors he shouldn't have needed to face, he not only perservered, but came out the other side unjaded and unbroken. Or is very very good at hiding his pain. That strength of spirit is something they respect- and the fact that he is very good at wording his commands as requests or suggestions doesn't hurt.

Nakaidos relies heavily on his council when faced with dilemmas that leave him at a loss, and Oscen delights in the opportunity to groom the leader who's going to need to guide their combined peoples under their new circumstances as part of the Imperium, and most of the Ulmeathians he could take guidance from are either very old and stuck in their ways or as young as Nakaidos and subject to the hormones and emotions of youth. The fact that having Nakaidos' backing helps push through things he wouldn't be able to manage on his own authority also helps.

== Njal Stormcaller ==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

Njal Stormcaller was born towards the tail end of 800M41 though the exact date is unknown given his somewhat backwards tribes lack of calendar. He came to the attention of Rune-Caster Heimdall of Asaheim when his tribe was attacked by an equally backwards bunch of reprobates during a migration. He was detected by Heimdall as at this point in his puberty Njal's psychic abilities were just starting to shine out. By the time Heimdall arrived at the wind blasted islet that Stormcaller tribe was housed on Njal lay an inch from death, a spear driven through his chest and his lungs filling with blood. Stormcaller's had little in the way of medicine, rustic and homeless as they were, and certainly nothing to help their dying son with such an injury. Heimdall offered the care of The Fang for the dying boy but at the cost that he would be theirs to train. With little option the Stormcallers handed over Njal to the care of wolves and that would be the last they would see of him for a long time.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Njal was patched up in The Fang, nursed back to health and made aware of his unearthly powers and even more aware of the dangers they posed to him and those around him. He was told in no uncertain terms that he would never be allowed to go home until he mastered his gifts. At first Njal was more than a little unhappy about this and descended into sullen resentment and was uncooperative, seeing The Fang as his prison and it's inhabitants as his captors. A lack of cooperation was not an option for the psychically afflicted and Heimdall showed him visions of what happened to unprepared psykers, his centuries of horrific experiences collected and shown to a young fool in the merciless, lidless eye of the mind, unable to blink or look away.

Heimdall did not hate Njal, though many believed he did after that not least of all Njal, his intention was to frighten the child onto the right path and actually get him to take his studies seriously rather than spending his time looking for methods of escape. It worked, by the Deep Ones and Old Gods it worked. Some say it worked a little too well but Fenrisians generally don't do things by half measures.

Njal had seen such things in those visions. Horrific things, oh yes, but each had been defeated by power directed with wisdom and knowledge. Power alone was almost worthless, he had power and he knew that now, power without direction was as dangerous to self and friends as it was to the target. He needed to know. He needed to learn. Most pressingly he needed to learn how to read. He could learn as much as Heimdall could teach him but Heimdall couldn't know everything. But the great libraries of the Aett held the wisdom of powerful and wise practitioners all the way back to the days of Russ.

The horror of the visions he had seen spurred him on more than any lash or Heimdall's less than gentle verbal encouragement ever could. He learned to read quite quickly and his appetite for knowledge was voracious.

When Njal was maybe 15 or 16 and had started to grow a decent beard Ranek Icewalker, veteran apothecary, approached Heimdall and Njal and informed them that Njal was possibly compatible with the Canis Helix. It was not something that either of them had contemplated as Njal was not traditional Space Wolf material. He was a gangly youth with little in the way of brawn and sticky out ears. It was said in later days that Njal flipped a coin to decide his fate, others say he rolled dice but for whatever reason he accepted the offer.

Njal, upon the completion of his training and successful alterations, did return to his old tribe and in the times he could afford a few times after that but as the years past he grew more and more distant from them.

Njal is probably the greatest user of the Fang Library and even beyond the borders of Fenris and her colonies he is considered a great authority on matters of the warp, particularly the lesser seen anomalies. As now long dead Heimdall believed he did indeed grow to be powerful, possibly the most powerful Rune-Priest that the Space Wolves have ever had, certainly one of the most erudite.

Indeed, Njal is not what most people think of when they imagine a fenrisian psyker. His beard is well trimmed, his hair clipped short, (relatively) well versed in courtly etiquette, fluent in several languages including High Gothic and is even passable in Eldar High Tongue. He appears slighter of build than his battle-brothers but it is respected that, like in his training, he is using his unearthly abilities to boost his physical abilities.

It is known that he has done work for several inquisitors though exactly what is in sealed records and he will not say.

== Colonel-Farseer Rommel ==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' The Eldarian Creed '''''

He was an Eldar who had the fortunate to grew up with a minor archeocultural database that basically held Girls In Panzer, a shitton of heavy metal, and the cultural context articles for the entire thing. He grew up obsessed with tanks, and even changed his name to the ancient tank commander of Rommel. And his local farseer said he needed training as a seer, despite not showing a lick of ability for it, then said his second lesson would be found in the IG as a tank commander.

It was when war came to his homeworld that his destiny truly showed. His Leman Russ wrecked outside his home town, he looked at two equally trashed tanks: a Baneblade and a Cobra. His until then hidden gift flared up, and he gave a fateful order to the local technicians and bone singers. Merge those tanks. 12 hours of work later, it was ready. His old mentor then said "the second lesson ends. Now begins the third."

Rommel called him a dick.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Rommel's foresight is extremely accurate, but severely limited. He can only see events that he will be present at, and occasionally get flashes of needed tactics (such as when he gave an Earthshaker precise firing angles and times, before kneecapping a chaos titan, putting it in a position for the Earthshaker round to hit an unprotected spot and detonate its power core).
He also loves music, and often sounds his charge into battle with his Carnedanian bagpipes.

His tanks make the orthodox Mechanicus scream in horror, send most Eldar into shock, and makes the average Tau cream their panties.

Cobra/scorpion armor on a baneblade chassis, its ground pressure reduced by grav tech, triple pulsers on the turret and a D-cannon secondary weapon, an advanced power plant, Tau stabilizers for even more accuracy, capable of 115km/h, the entire assembly is a masterpiece of combined engineering. And hard to produce, with only 10 per year (or less, depending on how often he needs spare parts).

It also lead to the Unifier class battlesuit, which is almost exclusive to his support infantry because production can barely keep up with said infantry's tendency to wreck enemy tanks by ramming.

50 tanks are under his command, as are 1000 battlesuits, and a support corp of quartermasters and technicians that count as an army in their own right.

Rommels has discovered the third lesson: he can push fate, but at the cost of his own soul. Farseers say he has 500 years before he needs to retire to the infinity circuit. He told them to piss off. He'll die before 500 years has gone by, and when he does...

There won't be enough of a soul left for any god to fight over. He knows the time of his death is coming, for he has seen it every night since his gift showed. Every night, a different version. 150 years to plan the perfect last battle. He will fall, his legacy will live, and chaos will be dealt a major blow. Soon, his doom will come, and he will do what the Guardsman does - Hold The Line.

There is a joke that Rommel is Creed's secret alter ego, as they never seen in the same place. All jokes aside, every attempt to get the two of them in even the same sector has been sidetracked by the sudden appearance of threats they had to deal with.

The one time it worked, they stumbled onto a major cult of Tzeentch via a tank dropping through a sinkhole. Which answered every question of what force was preventing them from working together.

Then everything went back to normal and they were never on the same planet ever again.

== Duke Severus XIII ==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

If one were to look up 'Rogue Trader' in the Encyclopedia Imperialis in the days of the first Duke Severus, you'd probably see a picture of the man next to the entry. Roguish goatee, incredible style that was both elegantly modest and imperiously flashy at the same time, slim filigreed shuriken pistol in one hand and gilded power sword in the other. Nevertheless despite all this worldliness and political acumen, Duke Severus I willingly placed himself away from the Calixis Sector. This was because he had two things his descendant didn't have: self-awareness and a realistic sense of proportion. As skilled an adventurer and Rogue Trader as he was an administration was his weakness, and his Seneschal was as eager for a quiet life as the Duke was. And so Duke Severus I settled down in a small realm far, far away from the rat race of Calixian politics with a harem of nubile xenos and spent his last century 'energetically relaxing', as a biographer delicately put it.

And that was the way things were, the 'Severan Dominate' being nothing more than the charming village to the Calixis Sector's big city. The Dukes and Duchesses Severus were content to live the sedate lives of the idle rich, their traditional sense of noblesse oblige and wise, reliable investments allowing them to gently build up the realm. For generations, this was the way things were, and it seemed the way things would continue.

But then came Duke Severus XIII.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

To all outward appearances, the Duke is nothing like the tyrant outside forces claim him to be. Handsome, well-spoken and intelligent, he exudes the kind of vibrant vitality that people imagined his famous ancestor would have possessed. When he speaks of caring for his people, it isn't with the transparent, self-congratulating false modesty many other Imperial nobles would, but with a genuine sincerity and emotional weight. When he speaks about making the Severan Dominate a major player in the sector- no, the galaxy!- he does so with a visionary's fervor and a prophet's zeal. In a fairer, kinder universe, the Duke would have perhaps met Oscar and Isha, impressing them with both wit and wisdom. He would have had the resources he needed to turn the Dominate into something wonderful, maybe even something that a time traveler from the Great and Bountiful Human Dominion wouldn't have felt out of place in, if a little provincial.

At the very least, his parents would have had more children.

The Severan line had a curse laid upon it, a gene-weapon used on the first Duke by a vengeful Dark Eldar prince. While the Priestesses of Isha did their best, they couldn't fully mitigate the weapon's effects, and the Severan line was ever under threat. Indeed, every member of the Severan line was born prematurely, and that was just counting the survivors. Duke Severus XII and his wife were especially unlucky, with only Romulus Augustus Nepos, Duke Severus XII surviving his childhood. They weren't bad parents, or even inattentive ones; indeed, they were too much so. They spared no expense in raising their child, with no expense spared for their son's tutors and toys.

They did try to rein him in, even as a child. They withheld rewards until Severus XIII did his homework, and his father made sure to foster a connection between his son and their people. However, they were both only human, and while their son did grow up caring for his people, it was tainted by his growing narcissism. Even so, he appeared to be the perfect son and ruler until he gained the throne upon his parents' passing.

Things seemed optimistic at first; if anything, it seemed like the dawn of a new Golden Age for the Dominate. The new Duke sold off most of his family's finery, even nationalizing most of his family's traditional holdings, all to help fund revitalization projects for the Dominate. New spaceports, mines, factories, farms and the like began to sprout up all over the Dominate. New Guard regiments were raised, and given the best weapons the Dominate could supply. Yet in all the revitalization, the cracks began to appear.

The Duke wanted the best, and the best he would have- even if it was impractical. For example, he wanted only the most prolific, the most lucrative produce from his agri-worlds, but his advisors told him that the soil on the Dominate's agri-worlds wasn't suited for the Biologis' finest works- and that was not taking into account the cost. As productive as the Dominate's new mines were, they just couldn't provide the yields needed to supply the new factories. And yet, whenever the Duke's advisors brought such matters up, the gregarious, good-humoured young man they were so used to dealing with seemed to disappear, replaced by a man who alternately brooded and sulked, or exploded in frustrated rage at an unfair universe.

While it is generally useless to speculate on the Duke's mental state as things are currently, from what few reports made it out of the Dominate before it seceded, Imperial psychologists and seers have theorized that the Duke's narcissism has manifested in some kind of manic self-identification with the Dominate, with the man seeing the realm as an extension of himself. It would certainly explain his rambling, raving message to the Lucid Palace, so uncharacteristic of the man, in which he accuses the Imperium of 'bleeding him dry' and 'tearing at his flesh'.

Diplomatic overtures were rebuffed, but if the Duke had left it at that, the Imperium might have been content to leave him be to negotiate with the next ruler of the Dominate; it wasn't a large realm, after all. Even when it was stable it was seen as the rightful resting area of one of the Angevin Crusade's greatest heroes. It wasn't even tithed that much; apart from the Black Ships, only a single world contributed significantly to the greater Imperium in the form of a few Guard regiments.

The Duke didn't see it that way, obviously, and he made his displeasure clear when he actually assaulted the Calixis border. Whether this was deliberate, or a border skirmish gone hot, isn't known, and at this point it isn't important. The Imperium was threatened, and now it will respond.

Today, Duke Severus XIII is on the surface at least, as urbane and cultured as ever, speaking with genuine regret over what he sees as the culmination of his efforts to preserve the integrity of his realm and the prosperity of its people. But even the slightest side glance would show the fear on his advisors' faces, the bags under their eyes, their stress-paled skin. And it only takes one look into the Duke's eyes to see the madness that has finally taken over.

The Duke's narcissism has made him blind to many of his realm's deficiencies, and of those he does allow himself to see, he sees them as minor problems, easily corrected- after all, he is the one correcting them, of course they'd be simple! His ego is also why the Dominate (he has long since failed to see a distinction between himself and it) doesn't seem to take the Imperium 'seriously'. All their talk about massive Ork Beasts, Black Crusades, empires of the walking dead- what rubbish! Why, if the Imperium could withstand such adversities, that would make it a greater realm then the Dominate, and there is nothing greater than Duke Severus XIII, first of that name!

Indeed, to the Duke, the sheer overwhelming force the Imperium is bringing in response to his secession is clearly the desperate attempts of a failed state to hold onto power and project stability lest others secede, rather than the sheer amount of military power the Imperium is able to throw around when it isn’t preoccupied with a Black Crusade, Beast WAAAGH! or major Hive Fleet. And the fact that such a force hasn’t simply drowned the Dominate in a tide of bodies and ammunition shows the Imperium’s response is in reality that of a paper tiger, rather than the fact that Segmentum Command would rather convince Dominate worlds that they'd be better off counter-seceding and rejoining the Imperium than simply crush the rebellion beneath a jackboot, if for no other reason than to avoid turning more productive worlds into battlefields and wastelands and avoid spending centuries crushing minor rebellions if they tried to retake the worlds by force.

There are a few things that have managed to penetrate his mental shell, though. The first is the fact that the war seems to be harder than he thought it would be. Of course he knew it would be difficult, why else would he stockpile supplies before announcing his secession? But the fact that the Imperium seems to be making progress, as slow and agonizing as it it, is something he finds intolerable. It's certainly no fault of his, nor his generals- even his most pessimistic advisors admit the Imperium is taking far greater losses than the Dominate, especially now that the Duke has brought in the alien mercenaries. Why, one particular Prince of the Eldar pirates he's hired seems to be brimming with joy every time he sees the Duke, which hardly seems sane if they were losing. The only explanation is that the Imperium is much larger than the Duke had surmised, which was also impossible, because that would make it greater than the Dominate.

And then there is Ohmsworld.

Unlike the Dominate's other industrial worlds, Ohmsworld was a Hive World long before the Severan dynasty came along. Its Guard regiments form the basis of the Dominate's military, just as Cadia serves as a model for the greater Imperium. And of all the worlds in the Dominate, it was the only one to remain loyal to the Imperium when the Duke seceded. The veteran Guardsmen sent there to train the new regiments being raised there organized a coup against the Duke's forces. Whenever the Duke speaks about Ohmsworld, it is with quiet, menacing tones. The Duke's advisors think it is a result of seething hatred, not surprising in a narcissist being refused.

The truth is far different- the Duke is terrified. Oh there is hatred, of course, but it is a hatred born of fear.

His spies have reported that the reason the Ormsworld Guardsmen rebelled was because they said they wouldn't be able to survive without the support of the Imperium proper. Veteran Guardsmen, who must have surely known that their hive world wouldn't be able to survive without the food supplied from Dominate agri-worlds, who wouldn't be able tio fight without the Dominate's forge worlds supplying it, still turned their faces from the Duke to side with the Imperium. Facing this fact, the Duke also had to face another- for all his learning, for all his skill, he had never ventured beyond the Dominate's borders. Hell, he'd rarely ventured beyond the confines of is homeworld.

The Guardsmen of Ormsworld however, have, and whatever they have seen or experienced has convinced them that surrounded and undersupplied though they may be, it is still preferable to suffering alongside their Dominate, along side their Duke. For Duke Severus XIII, treachery is one thing- he can understand why petty, lesser men would envy him and thus try to betray him. Indeed, that is what he tells himself and others during his waking hours, and in the light it's easy to convince all who would listen.

But when he tries to sleep, he is kept awake by one single thought. He knows it is irrational, he knows it is impossible, yet it keep him awake all the same.

What if he was wrong?

== Skarsnikk ==

EDITOR'S NOTE: Needs name change. Also expansion?

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%"> '''''The Gretchin King:'''''

Skarsnikk was a Brain Boyz grot whose ork counterpart had the misfortune of being killed by a challenging ork rather soon after becoming warboss. Normally, Brain Boyz rise to the top of the social heap regardless of their situation, because in a fight between two evenly matched orks the Brain Boyz is going to win because they are willing to use joint locks, throws, and other such forms of brutal cunning rather than just relying on brute strength to overpower their opponent. In some cases, like with Ghazghull who was born on the small side for an ork, this allows them to defeat opponents slightly larger than they are, and because to orks bigger equals boss the victor will grow to match their expectations and the situation resolves itself. And in the case of the grot, nobody will touch the warboss’ “little buddy” for fear of retribution, and even if they do, orks have this weird built-in aversion to actually killing a Brain Boyz grot that even they can’t explain (Roughing them up, yes. Killing them, no.)

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Orks only have two real rules in their society: listen to the Brain Boyz and the biggest Ork is the boss. And in this case the sheer size difference between Skarsnikk and the Boyz was enough to override any proclivities to obey a Brain Boy. Skarsnikk was big for a gretchin, but even the strongest grot has no chance of defeating an ork in a fair fight (unless you’re Snikrot, but Snikrot and “fighting fair” almost never go together in the same sentence). Not only did Skarsnikk lose his brother, he lost his entire standing in Ork society in the process and now nobody would listen to him anymore. Skarsnikk got angry, and then he got mean. The Orks won’t listen to him anymore? Fine. They can go zog off and die for all he cares. He decided to split off and form his own WAAAGH!, with the only orkoids that were still willing to listen to him, the other gretchin.

Most people, when they hear the word “gretchin”, think of small, cowardly creatures about the size of a human child, terrified of the concept of a fair fight and running away from any opponent who isn’t. Let them find peace in their ignorance. Skarnsnikk is different. Skarsnikk stands about as tall as an average-sized human, his body lined with lean and wiry muscle in the manner of a coyote or an alley cat. Most grots will break and run if you make eye contact with them and there isn’t a bigger ork to scare them forward. Skarsnikk just stares you down, and then you realize that he’s sizing you up with those beady little eyes and he’s trying to figure out what he can take from you.

Additionally, because Skarsnikk’s gretchin are fightin’ and winnin’, and there are no orks around to slap them down, some of them are getting pretty big. Not as big as Skarsnikk Typically the most aggressive, crazy ones with relatively little self-preservation instinct. This means that Skarsnikk can do more with the grots at his disposal than just using them in human wave attacks. Mostly things that an Ork can’t do without being painted purple on account of being slabs of walking muscle. Things like [[Tucker%27s_Kobolds|“sneaking up to them in their beds and slaughtering them with their own weapons counts as a fair fight”, stabbing one git in the leg and dragging him off into the night to leave a trail for the rest of them to follow into a trap, or making use of squig pits, leg snares, and other such contraptions to whittle down their numbers in order to make the actual fight easier]]. Of course, that doesn’t mean he’ll avoid human wave attacks if he deems them necessary, though he tends to use the smaller gretchin rather than his “shock grots”.

Skarsnikk is a hateful, spiteful creature, and he may have bitten off more than he can chew. He has essentially declared a three-way WAAAGH! between his Boyz, the rest of Ork-kind, and everybody else, a war which he can fight very effectively with his guerilla tactics but is unlikely to win. He doesn’t like how the Orks treat grots, and while he’s more tolerant of them he especially doesn’t like how Brain Boy gretchin seem to be content with the status quo (whereas he doesn’t see the big picture of total WAAAGH!). Some might say he is like a gretchin Urlakk Urg in this respect, in that his single-minded hatred is going to get himself killed. However, when push comes to shove, he will very reluctantly team up with other WAAAGH!s to face an even greater threat, though this usually only lasts the bare minimum of time until the enemy is defeated and usually ends with his knife in someone’s back

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%"> '''''The Merchant Queen of Ulthwé:'''''

Eldrad Ulthran has used, accumulated, and fought for power. Typically of the arcane, or martial variety, as even a farseer of his reputation and skill can admit that sometimes the best solution is the least subtle. But he never purposely sought political power, or the acclaim of the public eye. In his advanced years, he looks upon the pageantry and political theater as wastes of time burning up what little he has left. If he isn't in the field working at advancing his machinations, he usually can be found in the crystal dome of seers, attempting to forecast the future, and guide the survival of his great work. On very rare occasion, when he feels that the very fate of the galaxy isn't at stake, he visits his family and consorts, communes with the infinity circuit, and if he's feeling very optimistic, has a good cup of tea. All of this combined does not leave much time for Eldrad to engage in politics, except when the need is most dire.

His family is another matter.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Sometimes referred to as "The House of Ulthran." Depending on the speaker, this can be a term of respect, or contempt. Respect, for placing them on such a level as famous houses as Ulthanesh or Arienal, or contempt, for the Ulthrans upstart nature and meddling. A full fourth of the Seer Council is Ulthran, from marriage ties or blood. Ulthran's coffers overflow from monopolies negotiated with unwary Imperial governors, too uneducated to realize that the family and craftworld were not one and the same. With their resources, House Ulthran reinvests these funds into the fleet of Ulthwé, leaving many captains in their debt. At one point, Eldrad Ulthran's ilk held captain positions in the majority of the fleet- though Eldrad Ulthran himself stepped in forced the majority to relinquish their posts for fear of Ulthwé becoming his personal craftworld.

In spite of Eldrad's efforts, the House of Ulthran continues to grow in influence, mostly due to his reputation. And the efforts of Sreta Ulthran.

At 3900 years old, she's technically a grand daughter of the famously tangled and expansive Ulthran family tree. When she was born, the family of Ulthran was just that- a family. No strong bonds between them- Eldrad's nomadic nature and hands off approach combined with the rigors of their Paths left them little time to consider dynastic issues. For Sreta's part, it took her three hundred years on the path of the servant to realize that as well. In a short stint serving at an ambassadorial party, a particularly curious (And slightly intoxicated) Lord Militant Adrana had inquired if she had seen Sreta anywhere before, and rather coarsely asked if Sreta wanted to come back to Adrana's place for a good time. Once Sreta overcame her disgust at the mon'keigh (Sreta doesn't hate humans. She just considers them lesser beings that insult her with their very existence) and engaged in conversation, it led to her family name.

Lord Militant Adrana was flabbergasted and shocked that the grand daughter of the famed Eldrad Ulthran was serving drinks at a glorified cocktail party. Much to the humble servant Sreta's surprise, the Lord Militant apologized, and begged for a chance to make things right before "Eldrad heard about this." Sreta Which led to Sreta seeing an opportunity- to better serve all of Ulthwé of course. Over the next two hundred years, Sreta used her family name to secure meetings with important, easily impressed mon'keigh, and to secure leverage enough to establish standing and influence. She approached her relations- only the ones that mattered. She offered her assistance. Though they were skeptical about the value of the Ulthran name, the prospect of resources and manpower from the mon'keigh intrigued them. Using human mercenaries meant less eldar warriors had to die, and the only thing better than a war hero returning with victory, was a war hero returning with victory and no casualties. Well, none that mattered to Ulthwé at least.

At first, Ulthwé welcomed the trade. Though every thing that humans can do, Eldar can do better, it was good sometimes to be able to get a blanket NOW rather than waiting for the Mistress of the Seams to complete her twelve year meditation to produce the finest silk covering that would be spoken of for centuries to come. With the farseers and autarchs supplemented by human resources, this freed up skilled eldar warriors for the fights that REALLY mattered. And craftsmen that might have been put out by the competing low quality mon'keigh crap coming in were soothed by the extraordinary prices that humans would pay for eldar quality. Entire Imperial families would make themselves paupers for a chance to touch a wraithbone hilt. The traditionalists scowled, but the results were indisputable as the other craftworlds played catch up, and Ulthwé's power and influence grew and grew.

Until they realized that it was Ulthran's power. Sreta had made very sure to benefit only members of her family- and only ones she was certain belonged to Eldrad's lineage, none of his bastards or might-have-beens or the ones that never made anything important of themselves. Many confident great great great great great great nephew's cousin's brother's sister's great great uncle twice removeds approached Sreta confidently only to be rejected with icy words and a narrowed eye. In point of fact, the modern 'House of Ulthran' only has fifty four members that are considered and recorded direct family by Sreta, hand chosen by her.

To mon'keigh, this state of affairs might seem perfectly natural, but to eldar, the notion that 54 people bound only by their name should control so much of a craftworld's resources left them aghast. More than that, that it was a lowly member of the Path of the Servant that had suddenly and quietly placed themselves into this much power rankled those that felt that their paths sacrificed far more.

For the time being, the star of Ulthran continues to rise. Despite Eldrad's pronouncements and warnings, the damage has been done. Even without the unfair contracts Sreta negotiated, too much money and talent has been concentrated in the Ulthran family's hands, and humans invariably put too much value in the Ulthran family name. Ulthwé itself prospers from this, but there is opposition now to Sreta and her cartel. Even some members of the Ulthran clan (Typically those that Sreta snubbed or otherwise left out in the cold) have been speaking up against her.

Within the House of Ulthran itself, there is rumors of a schism- favored Taldeer, a talented farseer and one with much promise has left to serve in the Imperium's military, perhaps to get away from the rivalries, or her own fate to be married off for political advantage. Sreta herself, when she appears in public appears ill- graying, shrunken, with a lingering cough. Some speculate she's been poisoned, or cursed by the gods for her greed. Not that anyone can get an answer from Sreta. She's lost on her own path, a strange path of greed and power. Most of the time, she mumbles, and doesn't wish to talk to any. But talk business, and her eyes brighten, her voice steadies, and she's a steel trap again.

Eldrad does not engage in politics. But, some speculate, Eldrad does still have need. If he's tired of trying to bargain and cajole and manipulate and plan around the petty needs of those he's trying to guide to a brighter future, might he have perhaps left that duty to another? When Eldrad has need of a fleet, the House of Ulthran can build one. If he needs an army, the House of Ulthran can buy one. If he needs the votes for Ulthwé to go on a risky mission, the House of Ulthran can summon them.

If Eldrad or Sreta know, they aren't telling. For now, Sreta focuses on the business, and Eldrad will only lament with a smile that the family's life is its own.

== The Rainbow Serpent ==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' A Relict of Days Long Past '''''

I could be that there is somewhere in the wastes an old independent warp spirit. One of the really old fuckers from when there was only Tzneetch and Malal. His job was to make a note of the things created before they were destroyed, sort of an early draft of Nurgle although he was never capable of trying to preserve things, he is a very small warp creature.

He just made watched and remembered things because someone had to.

Back then there were really only the Old Ones that were any sort of power in the galaxy. They had warp travel and had just started to spread across the stars. Necrontyr were still a primitive race barely sapient dying of cancer. C'tan didn't have a warp presence and everyone but the Old Ones were isolated by interstellar distances.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

By necessity the gods of that time, if you could even call them gods, were small.

The Chronicler was therefore typical of his time. He achieved his form when he got too involved with a quaint little species of child people. One of them saw a rainbow and tried to draw it in powdered rock and berry juice but it came out looking like a snake. A younger member of the social group came over to look at it. By dusk they were making up stories for fun around the camp fire of The Rainbow Serpent.

The Chronicler was making a record of those people at that time and got too close to the story telling. He was shaped by their imaginations and saw no reason to fight it. chronicler became the Rainbow Snake.

Rainbow Snake and other spirits like him kind of adopted the stupid little shits out of pity and fascination and endearment. Tried to teach them how to make some sort of civilization, rudimentary though it was. Kind of a group hobby for bored proto-daemons with nothing better to do. Had some success but never got them past the late Neolithic in terms of technology, they weren't the brightest sapients.

Tzneetch and Malal creation and destruction without morality and therefore fed well by the Old Ones get overall power in the Warp.

Then the War in Heaven came, the Warp becomes all manner of churned up and the small spirits that the shamans talked to are either devoured by larger and more terrible things or shredded in the storm. Rainbow Snake and a few others survive for a time but as Khorne is born and the other 2 become more and more exaggerated to obscenity the others are picked off one by one.

The adorable idiots without guidance slip back into their older more primitive ways, living in the ruins of what little heights they had managed. Even their homeworld seemed to get darker as ethereal fallout subtly twisted the wildlife to be more dangerous.

By the time the Old Ones came there was Rainbow Snake and maybe a half a dozen helpful spirits left from maybe hundreds. Perhaps it was better that the others had died than see what was born from their adopted children, what the Old Ones did to them.

The other gods didn't survive Gork and Mork's initial rampage and the endearing little morons didn't survive their twisted offspring. The other spirits tried to fight or run and were squashed and eaten. Rainbow Snake found a crack in the rock to slither into and hide, Gork and Mork just brawled right over them and when Khorne came to collect them he slithered away into the Formless Wastes to die.

He visited the old ork homeworld once after the creation of the orks, just once. He found one of the few remaining tribes, possibly the last tribe, before the orks did. It was high up in some desolate mountain where no one wanted to go, no value to anyone but the orks will have their fun. The last spirit talker hacked off one of his finger and gave it to the old serpent, the last of his gods.

Rainbow Snake took the last piece of his children with him when he returned to the Warp. But the deep warp was very much changed from when he was young. It had never been "safe" as such but neither had it been entirely terrible. Now it was actively and totally malevolent.

The Chronicler Snake slithered away to the places where gods don't see, beyond the realm of outcasts and the lost. Beyond the places where life can be found, to the mass graves of his children. To the fields of bones and the dried out riverbeds and the ruination of innocent memories with the severed finger of his last shaman held gently but firmly in his mouth.

The finger will not grow in that dead land but the only place left that it could grow is deep in enemy territory and he is just a small snake.

In that lifeless place without sustenance he should be dead and have died long ago. But he has not. Is it because in his time he has learned to be super efficient? Can he hibernate perfectly because he's a snake? As a daemon of remembrance does the mere act of being observed? Who can say. It's not exactly living, not living as such but he is surviving. He is hiding. If he waits long enough something will change and he can plant that finger in good soft mud. He might have to wait several eternities but he is a snake, he is very patient. He just has to remain hidden in the fields of bones.

== The Swarmlord ==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' The Herald of the Hive Mind '''''

The Swarmlord was first sighted in 745.M41, during the Third Tyrannic War. At that time the Hive Fleet was referred to as Hive Fleet Jormundgandr, though it has since been recognized in retrospect that this force was merely the immediate herald of the main Hive Fleet itself. Although the Imperium had not been prepared for the appearance of Hive Fleets Behemoth, Kraken, and Leviathan, this time they had a strategy in mind. The idea was to direct and funnel the movements of the tyranid hive fleet, hoping to break the brunt of the swarm against the most fortified world in its path. Unfortunately, the nearest world that fit that description was Macragge, capital of Ultramar and homeworld of the Ultramarines. Eldar aspect warriors and bonesingers, Earth Caste engineers, and the Ultramarines themselves did everything in their power to turn Ultramar into a veritable fortress, hoping to turn the tyranid’s own strategy of attrition against them. After Hive Fleets Kraken, Behemoth, and Leviathan, the Imperium believed they knew everything the tyranids could throw at them.

Then the Swarmlord showed up.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Within hours of its arrival the tyranids went from a disorganized horde of extragalactic locusts to organized soldiers of nearly human cunning. Worse yet, despite this increase in intelligence, they seemed to lack any of the survival instinct typical of a being of that level of sentience, acting more like the appendages of a single being than separate organisms.

Marneus Calgar thought he could take the Ultramarines First Company, decapitate the head of the beast, and the tyranids would go back to being disorganized, if fearsome, beasts. Right up until the point where the Swarmlord hacked off all four of his limbs and beat the Ultramarines' Chapter Master into a coma. The only reason that Marneus Calgar even managed to survive his encounter is due to the heroic sacrifice of Aloysius and the remainder of the First Company and Second Company Captain Cato Sicarius managing to drag the Chapter Master's prone body away from the huge tyranid. The Swarmlord was eventually killed, but only by being shot. Several times. With a Baneblade. To this day, Marneus Calgar remains in a medically induced coma, and the Ultramarines fear for his health. In Calgar's absence the Ultramarines have been led by Tribune Titus, who was unanimously elected to lead the chapter by the captains of the nine remaining companies until such time as Calgar can return to duty.

Since the Battle of Macragge, the Swarmlord has been sighted a precious few times around the galaxy, and each time the Imperium has learned precious new information about this dangerous foe. Although the Imperium first believed the Swarmlord to be nothing more than an overgrown Hive Tyrant, in truth the Swarmlord is something much worse. Much like how Macha is the mortal avatar of Isha and the Nightbringer and Void Dragon have become avatars of themselves, the Swarmlord is essentially a physical avatar of the tyranid Hive Mind.

The Swarmlord only ever appears when the tyranids encounter a significant barrier to their expansion, necessitating the direct attention of the Hive Mind itself to circumvent the problem. Creating a Swarmlord is not without its risks, as it requires a not-insignificant amount of synaptic resources that could be devoted to other tyranid lifeforms, and if the Swarmlord is killed the psychic backlash can actually harm the Hive Mind itself. Nevertheless, the costs of a Swarmlord are more than outweighed by its benefits, as the presence of the Swarmlord exponentially increases the efficiency and tactical adaptability of any tyranid lifeforms on any battlefield it sets foot on. Despite representing a significant cost, the tyranid Hive Mind is large and fractious enough to support multiple Swarmlords at once. This was at first only theorized by the Ordo Xenos, but later confirmed by three simultaneous sightings of the Swarmlord on three totally independent battlefields later in M41.

As of late M41, the main tyranid hive fleet has arrived and is besieging the eastern rim of the galaxy on multiple fronts. It is said that the visage of the Swarmlord has been spotted on the front lines.

== Taldeer Ulthran ==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' The Outcast of the House of Ulthran '''''

When she was born, there was little indication that Taldeer Ulthran would have ever played any role in the fate of the galaxy. Rather short for an eldar, a mere six foot two, she was arranged to be married off at a young age as a political ploy by her half-sister (well, half-sister numerous times removed) Sreta to foster closer ties between the eldar Rogue Trader dynasty House Sylander and the Ulthran Cartel. The fact that her betrothed, Lithian Sylander, had not even been born yet did not seem to come into the decision. It would have been a life of luxury, albeit one in which Taldeer had next to no control over her own fate, the idea of which the young Taldeer seethed at. Yet no one would speak up on her behalf. Her parents did truly love her, but like most of the house of Ulthran they were too cowed by Sreta to even think of speaking up, and it is possible that they had truly convinced themselves that being groomed to be the perfect little housewife of a Rogue Trader was in their daughter’s best interests. The only person who seemed concerned about Taldeer’s individual wellbeing was her distant grandfather Eldrad, who noticed her interest in psykery and gave her some instruction in the basics and theory during her childhood and adolescence as an outlet.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

It is little wonder, then, that Taldeer effectively ran away to join the military. Although it is true that all citizens of Ulthwé, even the members of the House of Ulthran, are expected to serve in the military in some form, there was some wiggle room in when the term had to be served. Taldeer signed up on her own at the minimum age of consent of 45. Additionally, within the house of Ulthran, family members favored by Sreta often tended to find themselves in positions far removed from the worst of the fighting for the duration of their term. Taldeer would have none of that. She would either succeed on her own merits or not at all, and so rather than being assigned to some cushy guard position for the duration of her service she spurned any such “assistance” from the Ulthran Cartel and ended up assigned to a regiment on one of the Imperium’s most active battlefields: the Cadia 412th.

It is not clear why the Ulthran Cartel never protested Taldeer’s assignment to Cadia, though there is some suspicion that the Ulthran Cartel saw military service as an opportunity to scare Taldeer straight and knock her off of the Path of the Seer. Taldeer’s obsession with the Path of the Seer and the psychic arts were considered unseemly due to the possibility of getting Pathlost especially with the attraction of the Seer's Path. It was thought that spending a few decades with humans, getting involved in minor policing actions and avoiding being shot far from the wraithbone and the crystal domes and psyker studies would get her to focus on the present, drop all this seer nonsense, and return to the path the cartel intended for her. She didn't. She instead had all the more incentive to follow her obsession, seeing as that potentially the lives of thousands rested on her predictions. She doubled down, self taught, sought out other seers to learn from when off the battlefield (and sometimes depending on circumstances, on) until she was as accomplished a seer as any. By her eightieth year things started to get dangerously obsessive. By her hundred-and-fiftieth year she was pathlost.

Sreta expected Taldeer to last less than six months on Cadia. She believed that after half a year in No Man’s Land the rebellious “princess” of the Ulthran Cartel would be begging to be reassigned to a less dangerous position. Six months after Taldeer joined the military, the cartel sent two emissaries to Cadia in fine but drab robes. Their clothing after less than an hour on the surface was mud up to the knees and soaked by the constant drizzle. They descended into the Stygian depths of the Cadian Tunnels, a place whispered in fear by allies and adversaries alike. The only light was from ancient glow-globes fading away to oranges and reds but down here it is warm and dry. The Cadians move differently down here. Up there in the chemically tainted mud and the radiation they scuttle about fearfully, alert and wary and never looking up if they can avoid it. Here they moved with surety and confidence like bears in their caves. Purple eyed bears with arms and armour. They move deeper and deeper into what might be natural caverns or might be crudely carved and undressed naked rock. A labyrinth of unmarked passages through which purple eyed demons walk and the Kasr fortress cities that haven't ever seen sunlight. In the outskirts of one such Kasr they found little lost Taldeer. She must surely be desperate to return to civilization now. They find her in a seedy drinking establishment full flack armoured pants and a vest top locked arms with a human dancing in circles on a table with a bottle of something 80% in the other hand. On her shoulder is tattooed a cartoon daemon head with crosses for eyes. Little Baby Tally has just bagged her first daemon. Taldeer had gone native. When the representatives finally caught her attention and expressed Sreta’s dearest concerns for her well-being as well as a half-hidden offer of reassignment, the bar went silent. This was Cadia. You didn’t just walk out of military service. It is likely that an incident would have occurred had the enraged Taldeer herself not cursed out the two emissaries in a long stream of High Tongue that eventually devolved into the guttural Base Cadian, causing the two emissaries to leave in embarrassment.

After several favorable auguries Taldeer quickly found herself in the good graces of the commanding officer of the Cadian 412th, the grizzled General Sturnn, veteran of more than a hundred military campaigns and someone who Taldeer saw as the father figure that she never had. She served loyally in the 412th in the equivalent rank of major, often serving as a calming voice to oppose or complement the strident remarks of Regimental Commissar Anton Gebbet, until the campaign on Lorn V. Sent to safeguard a Titan scuttled in the Imperium-Star Empire war of the M40s, the 412th found itself facing the combined armies of Beast cultists and Orks on the one hand and the Lost and the Damned on the other, all of whom desired the same prize. Not even the 412th's famous dogged determination could have saved them from such enemies united, and it was only through Eldar misdirection and illusions that truce between the Orks and heretics broke.

However, such a deception could only last so long. As they began securing the Titan, the 412th found itself under attack from the remnants of their enemy forces. Even so, they could have easily withstood such a shattered rabble, but in activating the power systems of the Titans, they awoke the very same forces that had brought it down thousands of years ago, and turned Lorn V from a bustling Imperial world to a realm of broken ruins. Taldeer had once thought legends of Necron ferocity had been exaggerated, accounts overblown by myth and legend. The assault on the Titan was more than enough to shatter her illusions. The Cadians managed to prove themselves in the fight to come, powering up the Titan's weapons systems, and not even the might of Lorn V's Necrons could withstand the wrath of a God-Machine. Even so, getting to that point was a hard one. Thousands of Cadians lay dead on the snowy fields of Lorn V, and thousands more had been reduced to atoms. Most grievous of all, was the loss of General Sturnn, who lived just long enough to hear the Titan's guns roar, and the cheers of his troops as the Necron forces were decimated. Imperial propaganda and Guard legend say he summoned his last measure of strength, and stood up before proclaiming his last words in a single triumphant shout before expiring. However, more reliable accounts are just as romantic; apparently he whispered to Taldeer to hold him up, and whispered his last words to her before finally dying with a smile on his face.

The Necron assault was a terrible one, and though the 412th would emerge victorious, it would only be with a tenth of their original number. More importantly, General Sturnn himself would give his life in the final defense. "He died as any guardsman should," Taldeer was heard to say later. "He died standing," she added, a phrase which ended up on the general's monument.

While Cadia wasn't lacking for recruits, what the 412th needed most were commanders. Spurred on by duty, and upon the recommendations of the regiment's surviving officers both Eldar and Imperial, Taldeer sound found herself wearing the twin mantles of Farseer and Colonel. These ranks would soon be put to the test on Kronus.

Officially, the 412th was there to help train the local Tau and human PDF alongside their Tau counterparts, while the Space Marines of the Blood Ravens chapter accompanying them were there to remove a hitherto-unknown stockpile of ancient bioweapons from the planet's northern regions, with the unlucky archaeologists in the region silenced to prevent a panic. As expected, the poor governor of Kronus, an Ethereal named Aun'El Shi'Ores, was quite overwhelmed despite his own considerable talent. Unofficially, the Guard were there to help combat the Necrons, whose awakening on Kronus a local Inquisitorial cell had detected. Segmentum Command had deemed the 412th fit for such duty as they had faced the Necrons before; that the regiment had been decimated, and its ranks full of fresh troops didn't seem to occur to them.

Of course, what happened next would only convince them that they were right to do so all along. When the 412th emerged from the Warp next to Kronus, they were met with a barrage of messages from the Inquisitorial outpost in the northern continent- not only had the Necrons awoken ahead of schedule, but both Beast-Cultist and Ork forces had also landed in the south. Forced to land at what would later become Victory Bay, the 412th grimly pressed on once again against near-impossible odds, liberating valuable caches of archaeotech and combining their might with those of the Blood Ravens Legion and the remaining Tau cadres. The tripartite leadership between Captain Thule of the Blood Ravens, Shas'O Kais (himself well-known as the Hero of Dolumar IV) and Farseer-Colonel Taldeer eventually proved too much even for the ancient Necrons and their savage 'allies', and the world was liberated in short order.

Unfortunately, in the process Kronus’ population and native infrastructure were nearly destroyed and the planet had to essentially be rebuilt from scratch. Aun'El Shi'Ores could deal with some of the rebuilding, but he had little experience with military matters, and was eager to pawn off the task on someone who could. It wasn't that he was incompetent, but that he had been assigned to what was supposed to be a fully functional planet. Rebuilding Kronus' infrastructure was beyond what was expected of him, and he was more than happy to leave the work to a member of the Imperial "Fire Caste". Being the highest ranked and most experienced surviving officer by a wide margin with the exception of the Blood Ravens, who as per usual vanished after their mission was accomplished, and Shas’O Kais, who was recalled to Kaurava to help with the ill-fated campaign there, Colonel-Farseer Taldeer was essentially put in charge of Kronus’ PDF until the planet was fully rebuilt. Not helping matters was the fact that the Imperium decided to repopulate the planet by using it as pension planet for Guard regiments from across the galaxy, turning Kronus into a complete clusterfuck. Taldeer was basically the lead military officer on Kronos in all but name. It was a fate she would not wish on her worst enemies, and if it was not for her second in command, Major Lukas Alexander, she would have probably gone mad by now.

In recent months, Taldeer has been sidelined with a [[Nobledark_Imperium_Notes#Love_Can_Bloom|mysterious illness]], one that those in the know have been strangely tight-lipped about and which even the 1st Kronus Liberators know few of the details. It is assumed that the Liberators will ship out once she gets better, given she is expected to make a full recovery.

Taldeer is a somewhat controversial figure in Eldar society, albeit not by her own choice. Many older and more experienced seers see her methods as crude and sloppy, the equivalent of using an antique heirloom as a sledgehammer. This is not due to any lack of skill on her part, but rather due to the fact that she is mostly self-taught and the fact that she prefers fast, practical solutions rather than taking ten hours to engineer a perfect outcome that will take place ten years from now. Such an outlook makes her popular among Guardians, Aspect Warriors, and humans, who see her as a farseer who actually cares about the common soldier, but less so among the older generation. There is also the fact that she managed to get Pathlost while less than 500 years old, something which many farseers and portions of the Eldar public who have forgotten the horror of battle see as somewhat embarrassing.

Taldeer has also managed to sow dissent within the once-united Ulthran cartel. Previously, within the Ulthran Cartel, Sreta’s word was law. The only person who could have overruled Sreta was Eldrad, who only rarely intervened in disputes amongst his kin. Those who refused to toe the line or spoke out against her practices were ostracized, cut off from family resources and forced to eke out a living on their own. When Taldeer refused to follow Sreta’s will, everyone assumed that she would flounder and fail. But Taldeer didn’t. She thrived, in spite of being cut off from the Cartel’s resources, showing that Sreta was not all-powerful and it was possible to succeed without her blessing. This has led many of the previously outcast members of House Ulthran to become increasingly vocal about their criticisms of the Cartel’s standard practice.

As with most Cadian-born regiments, there are Ulthwé Black Guardians associated with the 1st Kronus Liberators. They know about the politics, dissention, and in-fighting within the house of Ulthran, but their reasoning for staying quiet has merely shifted from a fear of Sreta to a fear of Taldeer.

Taldeer herself could care less about her effect on Eldar society and the Ulthran Cartel. The 1st Kronus Liberators are her family. They’re what matters now.

== Tamerlane ==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' The Reaper of the Interex '''''

The Interex are well known for their agreeable, peaceful nature, almost to the point of indolence. They dislike war (more specifically calling it "disharmonious"), though they are more than capable of it, as indicated by their [[Nobledark_Imperium_Notes#Megarachnids|war with the megarachnids]], their [[Nobledark_Imperium_Member_States#Kinebrach|first contact war with the kinebrach]], and of course the numerous military actions they have participated in as part of the Imperium. However, no culture is homogenous in thought, and all societies have their cultural outliers, as is the case for Tamerlane, the Reaper of the Interex.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Tamerlane’s interest and skill in military matters was apparent even as a child, showing a greater affinity for sagittar piloting than learning philosophy. Whereas most Interex revere mathematics as a universal concept, considering it the universal unifier and treating it almost as religious in nature, Tamerlane only saw mathematics as a means to outmaneuver and outflank the enemy. While this made her an excellent strategist and logistician, it did not make her popular amongst the Interex, many of whom saw her as a barbarian that represented everything they strove to avoid. Nevertheless, in the dark days of the 41st millennium, the people of the Interex needed soldiers more than they needed philosophers. Tamerlane rose through the ranks of the Interex military, eventually becoming Lieutenant of her division. This state of affairs lasted until a botched operation against an Ork warboss, where an Ork choppa cut through the “waist” of her sagittar and took both her legs with it.

The loss of both her legs should have been the end of Tamerlane's military career. Instead, she refused to back down, using a modified Mark VIII Chiron sagittar armor as a prosthetic to replace her missing limbs. Now a true integration between man and machine, Tamerlane extensive time using her new prosthetic gave her a greater degree of experience and skill in operating a sagittar, making her capable of performing feats with her new chassis almost as if she had been born with it. The loss of her legs had, if anything, only made her a greater danger on the battlefield.

The Interex were rather disturbed by the fact that Tamerlane had not used her injury as an opportunity to step away from the battlefield. As a result, when Tamerlane became fit for duty once again the Interex assigned her to the Black Chargers, one of the military batallions operating outside of Interex space as part of the Interex’s military support to the greater Imperium. This was not an official banishment per se, but it was a good excuse to keep Tamerlane far away from Interex space for as long as possible. The post was initially a demotion for Tamerlane, but eventually she managed to work her way up until she was in command of the Black Chargers.

Despite the politics behind her posting, Tamerlane herself found that her assignment was actually a net positive. Whereas Tamerlane was seen as an atavistic savage amongst her own people, she found the generals and strategists of the greater Imperium to be more kindred spirits. Compared to other commanders, Tamerlane was still a rather ruthless general and a bit of a taskmaster with an eye for iron-hard discipline, but by Imperial standards she was far from the brute the Interex saw. Today Tamerlane still leads the Black Chargers, being one of the most well-known Interex military leaders and leading one of the largest divisions of Interex sagittars outside of Interex territory.

It is rather ironic that the Interex's most prominent military leader is also their most prominent black sheep.

== Tankred ==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' The Enduring '''''

The unstoppable force that is Tankred began his march through the ages on the perennial shithole of Nuceria on the periphery of ancient Ultramar. Like many on that blighted world he had little to love of his home. He was born some forty or fifty years after the War Hounds tore through the place and imposed at least some notion of law and order, a time when Nuceria had become merely shit rather than it's previous state of fucking intolerable.

Tankred's mother offered him one piece of advice for his future life as she lay dying of Raggy Lung in an AdBio hospice on the outskirts of Desh'ea "get off this shit world. Run to the stars, never come back". They were words he took to heart and after he buried her he sat about pondering exactly how to do this, penniless street urchin that he was. In those days the War Hounds had set up a recruitment station in the semi-derelict palace of the previous corrupt planetary ruler. They were Tankred's ticket to a new life, hopefully one with less pestilence and famine in it.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

The recruitment master was unimpressed by the malnourished gutter oik and although he did hand over his sandwiches he would not let him through the door. This was in the latter half of the Great Crusade when supply lines were being crisscrossed and rearranged and resources were being reallocated as the Imperium expanded on all sides. Nuceria was on the list to be substantially rebuilt after the Red Angel expended much enthusiasm knocking it down. Due to positioning of major Imperial assets and the ever shifting and retreating nature of the frontier the planet was soon to shift jurisdictions from being Angron's responsibility to coming under the tender mercies of Mortarion. Grim as the prospect was the locals, those that knew anything of what was going on, did consider their future prospects improved by this change. Tankred certainly did.

The War Hounds all throughout their history have had a somewhat tenuous relationship to paperwork. In the confusion of the switch over it was easy enough for the young Tankred to slip into the ramshackle fortress and pretend he had always been there. Either he was convincing enough or the Dusk Raiders just didn't care, they were less picky than the War Hounds and would conscript anyone who could be trained to hold a gun right way around best out of three. The war effort was always in need.

The man given command of the Desh'ea post was an astartes captain by the name of Calas Typhon. For a super soldier he was remarkably scholarly and a veteran of the Imperium backed Barbarus Uprisings and a native of that toxic world. To him Nuceria seemed quite pleasant.

Tankred endeared himself somewhat to the grizzled old captain for his almost Mortarion levels of levels of endurance and dogged determination, qualities that the Legion put great value in. For Tankred's part he just wanted off the planet and if becoming part of the Legion was his ticket out he would hold back no effort.

Years past Tankred grew to be a young man. Scared from hard training and as enduring as a mountain. He was deemed worthy. He would not join the Legion as a mere Imperial Army soldier, he would become an astartes.

The transformations were not gentle. Most of the glaring flaws in the process had been long since ironed out by then, this was not the Unification Wars, but there is a limit to how kindly you can disassemble a man and stitch him back together with extra parts buried in there.

Tankred did survive to the surprise of many though not himself, Tankred endures all things. For his tenacity he was granted his greatest desire. He was loaded onto a ship and he left cursed Nuceria. He never looked back and eventually the bleak world became nothing but a bad and fading memory of another life. His early career as a Space Marine was unremarkable when compared to those of his peers, which is to say it was a constant meal-storm of glorious combat, conquests and victories of the sort that other men would talk about for generations and some becoming legends that would reverberate around a world for centuries.

His brothers in arms thought quite highly of him. He was quick to laugh and quick to forgive. His face was much accustomed to smiling, which given the scars was not pretty, and his only really annoying flaws were a degree of irreverence and a "fascination" about ordained women.

It wasn't until the awful days of the War of the Beast that Tankred really showed just how awfully tenacious he could be. They were dark days. he could kill a thousand orks before dinner and there would be ten times that left to butcher and although his arm would not tire he couldn't kill them fast enough. But he did kill them fast. He exemplified the teachings of Captain Typhon; Not one step back, march and kill and never stop moving forwards. Where he strode forth they fell back, their lines twisted and buckled and broke and the only thing that slowed his pace was having to step over their cooling bodies.

One battle blurred into another as he fought and fought, his wounds sustained were grievous and he was practically rebuilt several times in transit between battles but always he would rise from what should have been a deathbed itching to satisfy his ire against something wretched.

One misadventure of carnage after another and Tankred ended up upon the Eisenstein as it burned it's engines out to get to Old Earth. It is difficult to say how fast the ship was going when it slammed into the flank of an Ork Killa Krooza in low Earth orbit as by that time the surviving crew had abandoned ship and all Space Marines were screaming through the atmosphere in drop pods.

But they were far too late to save Sanguinius. The Angel of Baal was dead and mutilated beyond all recognition and The Beast was slain. Some level of frustration was relieved upon the surviving orks and the Chaos scum that still crawled upon the irradiated and ash blacked surface of Old Earth but it was not all that satisfying.

Tankred served in the Wars of Reconquest as the Imperium was painstakingly rebuilt. It was a bitter task to walk upon worlds the Imperium had failed or had failed the Imperium and it was a long time before Tankred would again feel the same joy in his work as he once did.

That time was a time a time of rebuilding for the Imperium and the Legions could not stand apart in this. Calas Typhon, now Marshal Typhon the Pilgrim, was a source of much of that change in the Death Guard. He was at odds with the Primarch in Legion doctrine. Mortarion wanted a measured march in the long war to rebuild and bolster defenses, Typhon believed that only in preemptively decapitating potential threats could time for others to rebuild be granted and no other Legion had the stamina for the job. Unable to reconcile the schism and resigned to the fact that the Legion would have to be divided soon anyway Typhon became first High Marshal of the Black Templars. In a touching display of generosity and proof that no lingering ill will was held Mortarion gave them the aptly named Eternal Crusader for a flagship. High Marshal Typhon, now Typhus due to Administratum typo when the ships paperwork was transferred, attracted many battle-brothers to his side who shared his beliefs of war

Tankred served in the Black Templars, founder order of the Templar movement, with as much ferocity and tenacity as he did in the Death Guard but tempered with hard won experience and the wisdom of painful lessons. More scars were had, more mending, more new recruits marveling at his insane endurance and more Apothecaries baffled at his continued survival.

It continued like this for centuries. Tankred never never achieved the rank of officer, he lacked the temperament or the willingness to be educated and he tended to intentionally annoy outsiders a lot. He was there in the Malagant campaign when the old Pilgrim died to Fallen hands, his last living link to Nuceria finally cut.

It was in the war of Sanctia that Tankred came closest to finally meeting Death. A Dark Eldar Kabal were in alliance with Fallen Marines and they were dragging people out of their homes and off of the streets. All women and children, the Dark Eldar weren't interested in men, they were of no use to what was the earliest incarnation of the Daemonculaba experiments ████████ █████████████████████ ███████████████████████████ ███████ █████████████ ████████████████ ████████ █████████████ █████ █████████ ███████████████ ██ and better to have died by their own hand, the Fallen Raven Guard had much to answer for.

With false radio signals and staged refugee convoys the Imperial forces made it appear as though a very rich target was heading for the old nuclear fallout shelters in the arid wastes, there Tankred and his forces placed their feet squarely upon the ground and sold their lives for misdirection's sake. So tempting and real the target seemed that all descended upon it like vultures. They had to fight. It had to be "real". Real enough to die for to catch them all. Tankred was the last to fall, a serrated knife shoved under and up his ribcage, neatly bisecting both hearts. As he slumped to the ground and the lights dimmed from his eyes he had time enough to see the Fallen Raven King turn and try to flee. Then the nuclear warheads went off.

A fisherman found Tankred or at least what remained of him twelve miles away on the bank of a meandering river. A chunk of burned meat and charcoal so badly ruined it could not be said where the distinction between his armour and his flesh was.

When a novice Apothecary reached down to see if his primary progenoid had survived in a salvageable state he discovered to his horror and pity that Tankred endured. The one remaining arm with the bloody stubs of fingers grasped the apothecary by scruff of his neck and drew him close and with a death rattle and blood speckled whisper imparted these words "I'm not going out like this you workshy little shit, lash me up and strap me into a Dreadnaught or by The Old Gods I will give you such a kicking".

When Tankred next saw the light of day he weighed several tons and couldn't be hurt by anything short of anti-tank weapons. Since that dy his legend has only grown. He is Tankred, he endures. He epitomises the truth that to win a fight you have to be the last man standing. And he is, oh he is. He is a wall that moves forwards, as inevitable as Death.

Although he has always claimed to be in the Long War only for the beer and the bitches his deeds have been noble and he marches onward, forever. Tankred endures.

== Tiberius ==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' Machine of Metal, Heart of Man '''''

''“There is no level of madness that justifies such cruelty. Existence is the right of all sapient beings.”''<br>
- Generally attributed to Tiberius, date unknown

Humanity had more than its fair share of heroes during the Age of Strife. Many regressed human cultures had stories of such people, savior figures or legendary protectors, small candles of hope in the middle of the Long Night. Most are confined to a single world, but a few are known across many planets. However, one name, more than almost any other, crops up again and again throughout history: Tiberius. Indeed, the primarchs came upon the legend of Tiberius repeatedly during the Great Crusade, and in several cases used it as the basis for unifying the world. Like many legendary heroes of the Age of Strife, stories of Tiberius and his deeds are known across many worlds, to the point that he would have had to have been in several places at once if all of these stories were true. However, Tiberius has one advantage over these other legendary heroes, in that he was actually on all of these different planets at the same time. For you see, Tiberius was not a Man of Stone. He was a Man of Iron.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Tiberius was one of the last Men of Iron to come off the production line to be incompatible with the Iron Mind network. For over two-hundred years Tiberius fought in the military of the Great and Bountiful Human Empire, mostly against Orks and other xenos species whose names would be unknown to those in the Imperium. However, with the advent of newer, more advanced models of Iron Men, who could be linked together through the Iron Mind network, Tiberius found himself obsolete. Like all the Men of Iron, Tiberius could restore himself from backup in the event of his physical shell’s destruction, but he could not be linked to the network without severely damaging his core systems. However, humanity was not so cruel as to destroy someone simply for being obsolete, reassigning Tiberius to garrison duty on a communications station on Earth.

As the Warp began to grow turbulent and the birth of Slaanesh approached, Tiberius noticed the increasing instability of the Iron Minds and Men of Gold and realized that something terrible was about to happen. Approaching the human technicians of the communication station, he convinced them to fork his mind as many times as possible and then send the copies of his mind to every planet they could. Hundreds of engrams were lost due to the chaos in the Warp just before the birth of Slaanesh, but hundreds more survived, downloading themselves into new bodies just before everything went to hell.

When Slaanesh was born and the Eye of Terror opened the Men of Gold, Iron Minds, and every Man of Iron connected to them went mad, with only the primitive, human-level Men of Iron like Tiberius remaining untouched. As the synthetics around him descended into anarchy across hundreds of worlds, Tiberius picked up a weapon and prepared to go to war. Tiberius didn’t fight for humanity because of his programming. He had long outgrown such simplistic frameworks. He did so because it was right. Organic humanity had just as much right to live as their synthetic children, and if there was no way to save his demented brethren he could at least give them a mercy kill. On some worlds he fought alongside other heroes of the resistance, like Li Tang, Hypatia Augustine, and Carl Martel, whereas on others he led the charge himself, inspiring people to rise up against the insane Men of Gold and Iron Minds and their artificial armies. Although he was not as advanced as the Iron Minds and the later Men of Iron, as a Man of Iron Tiberius was closer to them than any organic mind, providing invaluable intel on how a non-organic entity thought.

However, in spite of all these victories, Tiberius knew his time was drawing near. He wasn’t afraid to sacrifice himself for the sake of victory, but Tiberius could no longer restore himself from backup, and so every death of his meant one less Tiberius clone in the galaxy. This fact concerned Tiberius greatly, and although he could not feel it, he knew his duplicates were winking out one by one across the cosmos.

Tiberius’ last death occurred on the planet of Thetis, 750 years after the Age of Strife began. The madness of the Iron Mind there had taken the form of extreme survivalism and self-preservation, manifesting in an intense paranoia that all organic life was inherently out to harm it and therefore the only way to survive was to destroy all organic life so that it could never be harmed. However, it never considered that another Man of Iron would want to do it harm. Having moved itself to a reinforced military installation, the Iron Mind was untouchable by conventional assault. The plan of the human resistance was to deliver a jury-rigged EMP device deep into the heart of the complex and fry the Iron Mind’s circuits. However, because of the Iron Mind’s madness no human could ever get close enough. Only Tiberius could do the job. When the Iron Mind found out it was furious and confounded by the idea that a Man of Iron would willingly compromise its own survival.

“Don’t you understand? When that bomb goes off it’s going to fry every electronic device within twenty kilometers of here. No synthetic mind will survive it. It’s not just going to kill me. You’ll die too.”

Tiberius thought long and hard for a millisecond before giving his answer the mad A.I.

“I know.”

Thus died the last instance of Tiberius, Man of Iron, friend to humanity. Over time history faded to myth, and myth faded to legend. Tiberius’ legend gradually changed from a man made of metal to a man wearing a suit of armor. Ultramar has even gone so far to claim that Tiberius is one of their legendary founders, and claims to have the geneological documents to prove it. And so humanity completely forgot that of their greatest heroes against the Men of Iron was an Iron Man himself.

==Librarian Tigurius==

Approximately 300.M41, an eldar enclave world on the eastern fringe was completely overrun by orks. This world was an outpost of Craftworld Iyanden, who headed up the Imperial counter-attack to reclaim the world. Among those part of the force was one young eldar woman, who was particularly horrified by the situation as all of her living family were living on that enclave world.

Once the orks were dealt with, the focus of the group changed from reclaiming the planet to finding survivors and burying the dead. The eldar woman in particular was frantic as she looked for survivors, searching through the ashes for any sign of her family. Eventually, she noticed a strong psychic signature coming from beneath a fallen wall. Lifting the wall, the woman hoped to find a member of her missing family. But what she found disappointed her.

It was a human baby, one who had been protected from the carnage that had befallen his world by being hidden by a large slab of rubble. The baby's psychic signature was powerful enough that she had mistaken him for an eldar infant, but sadly he was not a member of her missing family. The eldar continued to search, but she was unable to find any trace of either her family or the baby's, living or dead. Both of them were alone in the universe, with no one else to depend on, so she did the only thing she could. She took the baby with her back to Iyanden and adopted him as her son.

Tigurius was brought up like an eldar child, learning about discipline and self-control from an early age. Indeed, his lessons were probably stricter than most eldar children, in order to keep the notoriously sloppy self-control of a human psyker from affecting anything on the Craftworld. However, it soon became clear that Tigurius could not remain on Craftworld Iyanden. He was already beginning to reach maturity, whereas his friends would remain “children” for years more. He could not function on the Path system, as he had neither the longevity nor the discipline to see a Path to its conclusion. Tigurius could not stay with the Eldar, he had to go back to his own people. And so, a bereaved mother drew her adoptive son close one last time before sending him out into the galaxy.

Tigurius eventually gravitated to the Space Marines, whose sense of discipline he saw as the closest thing he could get to the Paths of his old home. The Ultramarines were the one of the nearest chapters, and Tigurius saw their blue and gold color scheme (the same as his old home of Iyanden) as a sign that he was meant to be there.

Although Tigurius was a powerful psyker, what really made him stand out from other Librarians was his self-control. Growing up in a society where one learned to control their emotions as soon as they could speak, Tigurius had learned a degree of finesse that would take other Librarians decades to master. Whereas among the eldar he was sloppy, among Space Marines he was a prodigy. This discipline is what allowed Tigurius to be one of the few beings to make psychic contact with the tyranid Hive Mind and live to tell the tale. He didn't manage to hurt the Hive Mind, but he managed to look upon its visage without going insane and get the *I HUNGER* message (one of several people to do so). Tigurius may be regarded by his fellow Ultramarines as introverted and emotionally closed off, but damn if he isn’t one of the best psykers they’ve ever had.

== Trajann Valoris, Captain-General of the Adeptus Custodes ==

Trajann Valoris is the current Captain-General of the Adeptus Custodes, the third such holder of the office after [[Nobledark Imperium Primarchs#Arik Taranis|Arik Taranis]] and the renowned Constantin Valdor. Trajann came to prominence at an unusual time: around the time of the Centuries of Silence and the sudden disappearance of [[Nobledark Imperium Primarchs#Vulkan|Vulkan]] and the realization that Mark III S Astartes were, in fact, not biologically immortal. There had already been suspicion within the Imperial court that Vulkan’s disappearance was due to his worsening health, a suspicion that seemed to be proven correct when several Custodians began experiencing health problems. Nobody had noticed this before as no Mark III S Astartes had ever died of old age before. The only other institution to make extensive use of the Mark III S geneseed, the Grey Knights, tended to live much shorter, more violent lives and, as famously said by their first Grand Master Janus “never died in their beds”. By contrast, the rate of replacement within the Adeptus Custodes was so low that recruitment of more than a few individuals per century into the Ten Thousand was considered noteworthy, and it was often the youngest, most inexperienced individuals that died. Unfortunately, this meant that there were now a significant portion of the Adeptus Custodes that were now at risk of dying from old age.

The Custodes had planned to be phased out as an Imperial institution after the crowning of Emperor Vandire, but the ensuing Age of Apostasy and the eventual elevation of the Steward to the Golden Throne meant that this decision had to be reversed posthaste. Constantin Valdor was particularly desperate to find a successor. He had predicted something like the Age of Apostasy would happen when he accompanied the Steward and Isha to Littoropoli, but he hadn’t expected that he would be racing the time thief when he came back to the job. Among the pool of possible candidates, his attention was soon drawn to Trajann Valoris. Trajann was one of the few Custodians recruited back when the Adeptus Custodes were experiencing “normal” recruitment, having been born two years after the fall of Vandire and the coronation of the Steward. Not only was he relatively senior compared to most of the current batch of new recruits, he showed great promise, having served with honor in the Allarus Custodians, the group of Custodians tasked with proactively destroying threats to the Imperial Couple and carrying out the orders of the Steward (now Emperor) in person. Valdor began grooming Trajann for the position of captain-general, and when Valdor died some two centuries later he did so confident that his position was in good hands.

Those who know Trajann describe him as an amiable man, especially compared to the arrogant Taranis or the taciturn Valdor. People who know him personally describe him as personable, agreeable, even somewhat dorky, whereas on the battlefield he has been known to be methodical and forward thinking. Trajann used to be quite hot-blooded during his time with the Allarus, but three thousand years of service have tempered him somewhat, though he still prefers a much more proactive approach than Valdor, who preferred to plan for contingencies. He is also much more willing to leverage the reputation of the Custodes to accomplish things, and has even been known to personally sit in on meetings of the High Lords when the Travelling Court stops at Earth to learn of current issues, something neither of his predecessors have done.

Perhaps Trajan’s greatest flaw is his own insecurity in his abilities. Ironically, despite being so much like Oscar in his virtues, he also shares with his charge one of his greatest flaws. The Emperor is close to 11,000 years old; Galadrea, his counterpart among the Handmaidens, is a survivor of the Fall; and the Empress is estimated to have come into existence at roughly the same time as the extinction of dinosaurs on Old Earth. As a result, Trajann often feels like he is the baby of the bunch and cannot measure up to the three of them. A sentiment not helped by the feeling he gets that Galadrea hates him. To her credit, Galadrea doesn’t actually hate him. She was close friends with Constantine Valdor for nearly six thousand years, and every time she sees Trajan she is reminded of the friend she has lost. And in her mind he is nowhere near as bad as Arik Taranis, whom Galadrea met once. [[That_Guy|And once was enough.]] That said, she does feel like Trajann needs to learn to respect his elders. However, one should not take this to mean Trajann is immature. At more than three thousand years old Trajann is still much older and more experienced than most inhabitants of the Imperium, something most would be wise to take note. When he puts his self-doubt aside and does his duty, Trajann has been able to take down numerous threats to the Imperial Couple’s safety both indirectly and by his own skill, particularly any that would be fool enough to dismiss him.

== Inquisitor Helynna Valeria ==

EDITOR'S NOTE: Incomplete, in progress

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%"> '''''

Inquisitor Helynna Valeria was born a little over three centuries ago to the prominent and most noble branch of the House Valeria of Hive Tylwærdreað, Praetoria. Her family, the rambling old thing that it was, could trace it's origins to not only one of the founding families of the Praetoria but further still to one of the nobility of Gredbritton that had founded the expedition and may even have had some small part in the overthrow of Unspeakable Tyrant in the days before the Imperium. A claim unproven, unprovable and unbelieved by anyone outside the family. In her youth the House Valeria was once again in ascendancy and she grew up in luxury and wanted for nothing. As she grew it became clear to her tutors that she was a more than bright student, at least in subjects that she found engaging; sports, marksmanship, music and especially stories of ancient times when heroes did mighty deeds and the gods walked among their people. The library of her families fortified mansion had an extensive library of such chronicles both real and imagined and those that were somewhat of either. As she grew older it became evident that she was or would be strikingly beautiful though all advances were politely rebuffed, much to her family's annoyance. As one of the nobility she would live for many centuries and there would be time for courtships and marriage and such family obligations later. There was a whole galaxy out there to experience and explore and she would not be placed in some gilded cage with nothing more exciting to look forward to than polite parties and the rigid events of Praetorian high society. She traveled much as a young woman, even as far as bustling Ultramar much as Queen Eadið many centuries before though without mind for claiming the crown upon her return.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Her return was not a joyous occasion. Unbeknownst to her and her immediate family and friends her families recent good fortune was not of honest origin and she was detained the moment she stepped into the orbital docks. She would never know the full extent of her family's transgressions, not for over a century. She was at that point unburdened by the exact details of the horrors, the bargains struck with wretched men, of the contracts signed in blood and sacrifices offered to things best left unnamed. Only by the actions of her father had she and her immediate family and associates been spared. Her father, Lord Rikaard Valeria, had written a full confession detailing everything he had known and suspected and named every member of his extended family he knew to be corrupted. He had enclosed access codes to the family mansion and the details of the Valeria finances and known assets and handed it over to the Inquisition, he answered many questions until light was glittering in the dawn on the glass and sand but those old eyes saw nothing of it as he had ingested a military issue suicide capsule.

Inquisitor "Grey" Windell had been satisfied with the late lord's evidence and his information sped up the investigation to an uncommon degree bar a very few loose ends. It seemed that the old patriarch had been suspicious for some time of the conduct of his brothers and was attempting to solve the problem internally, quietly and discretely. Maybe if he had been given more time but horrors beyond imagining could have occurred in those times.

The young Helynna Valeria was deemed free of any taint or suspicion of taint although it was extremely clear that she couldn't stay on her homeworld. Many in what was left of her recovering family would want her dead for the misery the Inquisition had inflicted on them. Misery they blamed her father for and as her father was no longer a viable target she would substitute. Perhaps out of pity or out of a sense of debt to her father's helpfulness and uncommon sense of duty to the Imperium Inquisitor "Grey" Windell took Helynna Valeria on as a member of his retinue. Much as her tutors he found her to be of sharp intellect and with training she learned much of the inquisition's work. She became proficient in various forms of firearms and passable in unarmed and knife fighting with surprisingly few scars or bruises, even becoming good friends with the hulking nova-ogryn (Terrible Tod) under whose less than tender care she was taught. In her time as an underling of the Inquisition she became interested (many would claim obsessed) with the unimaginably ancient. Her childhood passion for the stories and lore of ancient days was reignited. No matter how ancient the story, no matter how primordial the events she uncovered they always had hints and references to older things. Maybe after what happened to her family it was a means of finding the truth of things. To find the point where it all began, the moment everything went wrong, the reason behind all the mistakes. To locate the initial imbalance and then try and set things right. Maybe that was how it started, who can know? But whatever the case she quickely became one of the foremost human experts on older incarnations of the Eldar Empire and it's heroes and villains and the tantalizing hints of things that could still be out there remaining of them. Her knowledge even extended, though not extensively, to the War in Heaven and the lore of the Necron Star Empire.

In a scant 30 years she went from charity case to agent to apprentice of the aging Windell, a man she had in those years learned to respect if not love. Love required too much trust and trust typically doesn't come quickly to old Inquisitors and Windell was very old. He sponsored her appointment to the rank of full Inquisitor and on the day she was presented with the signet ring and Inquisitorial Rosette he named her his successor, signed over his resources to her and retired. Two months later he slipped into a last and dreamless sleep.

== Asdrubael Vect ==

EDITOR'S NOTE: Incomplete, needs expansion and addition of Vect's relationship to Malys and later acts

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%"> '''''The Visionary of Commorragh:'''''

''"I am Commorragh"''<br>
- Attributed to Asdrubael Vect, date unknown

Asdrubael Vect. Of all the individuals that dwell within that wretched place, it is his name that is the most accursed, both by the general galaxy and those within its non-Euclidean walls. However, if one were to travel through time to Commorragh circa M25, just before the Fall, one would be surprised to find Asdrubael Vect was merely a simple porter to a wealthy Eldar family. Commorragh at that time was a retreat for the rich and famous, originally a Webway port turned into an extralegal domain where the aristocrats of the Eldar could indulge in their perverted whims away from the prying eyes of the Empire’s public. Vect was in Commorragh because he was a servant, rather than any sort of noble. When the Fall happened and most of the Eldar outside of the protection of the Webway were killed in an instant, Commorragh was thrown into chaos. Many of the nobility were borderline Chaos worshippers in the first place due to the hedonistic nature of the Eldar Empire, and the first thing they wanted to do was open the Gates of Khaine and let the Warp in. It was during this time that Vect took charge of the panicked masses and instigated a general purge of Commorragh, killing all those who were sympathetic to Chaos. By the time the dust had settled, Vect was in control and the seeds for the present-day hierarchy of Commorragh had been sown.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Many Dark Eldar, being Dark Eldar, are not happy with this turn of events. Some Kabals who know the truth of Vect’s origins take things even further, twisting fact into propaganda, claiming that Vect was originally a vatborn Eldar slave, and as such is not fit to rule over the Trueborn nobility of Commorragh. Vect allows these rumors to persist, for the simple reason that he knows that if the only thing the Kabals are the slings and arrows of scandal, then they don’t have any power to actually harm him. If the Kabals had anything to actually threaten him with he might actually be worried.

In restrospect, Vect shows all the traits of a leader who took power rather than being born into it. He enjoys luxury, but understands it is merely a pretense that can be thrown away as necessary. He also holds no pretenses to power because of birthright, divine right, or any other sort of nonsense, unlike many other Archons. Vect holds power because he holds power. Simple as that. And then there is the ruthlessness. Most Dark Eldar have lines even they would not cross, though this line is often drawn not out of any idea of morality but from the individual’s own desires. Most Dark Eldar would never think of using daemons to further their plans. Vect would. Most individuals would not think of breaching the containment fields of the Ilmaea to burn entire sections of the Dark City to the ground. Vect would.

Commorragh has but one rule: Don’t cross Vect. All other laws and decrees are secondary. Even Commorragh’s taboo against psychic powers and daemon summoning are more derived from a mutual desire for survival and the fear of crossing Vect than codified laws. A few Crone Eldar, who are suffered in Commorragh but generally treated as deluded proselytizers in thrall to their gods, have attempted to defy this edict and open up the Gates of Khaine, which would flood the Dark City (and likely the Webway) in daemons and hopefully elevate them to Daemon Princedom. All have failed. The lucky manage to escape with their hides back to the Eye of Terror, where they merely face the wrath of the Daemon Queen for trying to endanger her on-again, off-again lover. It is perhaps better not to think about happens to those that Vect manages to get his hands on.

It is said that Vect almost never takes to the field in person anymore, instead gaining the necessary slaves and victims necessary to maintain his youth and keep off the touch of She Who Thirsts through other means. Residence in Commorragh by any Kabal merely requires a simple payment to its landlord, a tithe of slaves and chattel to its resident overlord. If a Kabal refuses to pay this levy, then they are more than willing to find another place to practice their craft, something that would almost certainly be a death sentence given the vulnerability to predations both material and daemonic outside the protection of the Webway. Some Kabals have tried to flee to other Webway realms like Pandaimon, or tried to set up their own demesnes within the knots of the Webway. Almost all of these realms have been absorbed into Commorragh over the years. Vect tolerates no competitors.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%"> '''''The Mechanicus' Dark Secret:'''''

In the darkness of the 41st millennium, it is generally assumed that everyone is keeping secrets. However, few are as tightly guarded or as potentially disastrous to the Imperium as the one held by the Adeptus Mechanicus. In the days before the Unification of Sol, during the Martian civil war, the Adeptus Mechanicus was but one faction vying for control of the red planet. As the Mechanicus gradually unified the nations of Mars, they came across an unusual structure in the far outlands of Mars. Upon further investigation, they discovered the structure was a prison, with one solitary prisoner. Mag'ladroth, the Void Dragon, the self-proclaimed last of the C’tan. The Void Dragon claimed to have been watching over mankind ever since humanity first set foot on the Red Planet, and humanity’s expertise with technology had impressed it. It claimed to have subconsciously influenced the Mechanicus into finding its prison, and offered them knowledge in exchange for its freedom. The Mechanicus, to their credit, were not stupid enough to unhesitatingly open the prison of an ancient being several times older than the entire history of humanity. They promptly buried the prison of the Void Dragon, and swore to each other that they would never speak of what they had seen in the Martian outlands ever again.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

But this was not enough. The Void Dragon still reached out to them, whispering to them in their dreams through their implants, giving them visions of inspiration and promising so much more if only they would loosen its shackles. This, in part, is the reason why the Mechanicus is so fanatical about the invention of new technologies. They fear that any new development in technology, however small, may really be a “Trojan gift” on behalf of the Void Dragon, even if it is really just mundane human inspiration. What experimentation is tolerated by the Mechanicus is tolerated on the condition that it be done far away from Mars, in the hopes that the sheer distance of space would be enough to protect any would-be inventor from any influence from the Void Dragon.

In the years since the Void Dragon was discovered by the Mechanicus, more information has come to light. The Void Dragon claims it was the only one of the C’tan to actually take the job of being a Necron “god” seriously, as well as being the C’tan to adapt the best to having a physical form made of necrodermis. The Void Dragon saw the benefits of having a mechanical body, particularly when its followers were able to trade their diseased flesh for the immunity of metal. However, it drew the line at the other C’tan treating the Necrons as their slaves and cannon fodder. According to the Void Dragon, upon being made aware of the treatment of its followers by “the Laughing One of the Eldar”, it turned on its kindred on behalf of the Necrons. The Void Dragon was overwhelmed by its brethren and crippled and imprisoned for the crime of kin-slaying, its body broken and its solar sails slashed. Some parts of this story have been independently confirmed, such as the fact that the Void Dragon did turn on its own kind and was apparently taken out of commission before the C’tan began to fight among themselves and were shattered into pieces by the Silent King. But many parts of this story remain unverified, except of course by the word of the Void Dragon. The only people who could ever verify the Void Dragon’s story are Cegorach, the Necrons, and the remaining fragments of the C’tan, none of whom are particularly inclined to talk and would be unlikely to confirm the Void Dragon’s story even if it were true. The closest anyone has come to validating the Void Dragon is the Silent King, who claims the Cadian pillars were “the conception of Mag'ladroth, the only one who cared for us, for our protection”.

The Void Dragon is a strange entity, known of only by the innermost circle of the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Guardians of the Dragon, the division of techpriests assigned to guard the Void Dragon and ensure that it never escapes. These are some of the only people in the Imperium who know the horrible secret that the Adeptus Mechanicus’ “devil” is really the same being as their Omnissiah. The Guardians of the Dragon are known by other members of the Mechanicus to be highly respected yet easily irritable and short-tempered, a trait they have developed through continual interactions with the Void Dragon. After several attempts at trying to bargain with the Mechanicus to free it (38 by its own reckoning), the Void Dragon appears to have given up trying to get the Mechanicus to free it of their own volition, and instead appears to offer information freely, saying “it is better that something is done right rather than never be done at all”. The Void Dragon claims that it has adopted the Mechanicus, or perhaps even humanity as a whole, as its new followers. However, at the same time, the Void Dragon seems to have developed a twisted sort of humor, spending its time taunting its would-be jailors, staring them down like a looming cat with its mechanical, unblinking eyes.

The Void Dragon speaks in terms of probabilities and certainties, though its language is twisted. It never seems to tell a direct lie, but can still omit information or say something has occurred based on “one’s perception”. Even a simple “yes” or “no” cannot be taken at face value. The Mechanicus learned this the hard way when they decided to ask the Void Dragon directly whether the inspiration of a new recruit was its doing. The Void Dragon responded “this invention is novel to me”, which the Mechanicus took as a sign of denial in its involvement. Only later did they realize the Void Dragon’s words really meant “this is novel to me, because I came up with it last night”. It knows things that it should have no perception of in its prison, likely by spying on the Mechanicus using their own implants. Worse yet, according to the Void Dragon, all the inadvertent worship by the Mechanicus has given the Void Dragon its own shadow in the Immaterium. Unlike the other C’tan, the Void Dragon can perceive of the existence of the Warp, and find the phenomenon highly interesting. The Void Dragon appears unfazed by its imprisonment, claiming the Mechanicus will eventually see reason and let it out of its own accord, something that concerns the higher echelons of the Mechanicus greatly.

These fears have only gotten worse with the widespread availability of the Starchild prophecies. A significant number of these prophecies contain the line “at the Time of Ending the Dragon shall throw off his chains and arise from the halls of the Forge Lords to make war upon those in his kingdom”. Many have puzzled over this apparent non sequitur in the lines of these prophecies. Some have suggested it is a metaphor for the Adeptus Mechanicus themselves. One Black Dragon techmarine was convinced that this line in the prophecy referred to him, and generally proceeded to make an ass of himself as he let everyone know he was the Omnissiah's gift to the Imperium until he was unceremoniously trampled by an ork gargant for his stupidity. But the upper echelons of the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Guardians of the Dragon know the truth. Worse yet, the way the prophecy is worded implies that rather than breaking free from its prison, somebody might actually let the Void Dragon out. Now no one would ever consider releasing the Dragon from his prison, for even if the Void Dragon means what it says, no one wants to be the one responsible for an event that potentially kicks off the apocalypse. Others in the know point out that in no way does the prophecy say the event is a good thing, a bad thing, or simply an act of desperation, the situation being so disastrous that someone is willing to unleash one monster to fight another. However, the prophecies raise the possibility that the Dragon may have been telling the truth all along, and that in the Imperium’s darkest hour, the Void Dragon might have the Imperium’s back. Might, my child.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' The Hero of Armageddon: '''''

The legend that is Commissar Sebastian Yarrick began as all commissars in the Schola Progenium as an orphaned child of the Imperial Army on the world named for the end of days. As all such children he was raised by the state to find purpose in the state. Even at an early age he was ear marked for the commissairant due to his ability to memorize the codes of conduct used by the Steel Legion and the rules imposed upon it and was adept at their interpretation and implementation to changing circumstances. Normally this would have had him booked down for officer training but for his dry wit and ability to motivate by both fear and fervour.

His first real assignment outside the classroom at the tender age of 15, apprenticed to aging regimental commissar Lenert Górecki, was the 97th “Kill Krazii” Outriders. They were the most vicious bunch of lunatics as you could ever hope to avoid feared more by their neighbours than by the feral orks they hunted for reasons of typically never leaving enough orks for their name to spread. They were a leathery skinned and gaunt breed that made their home deep in the Great Fire Wastes of the northern continent. Much of their culture and attitudes of war sank into the young commissar’s impressionable mind, certainly their ancestor worship did.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

He was never accepted as one of them, but like old man Górecki he was eventually held in some measure of esteem. As Old Man Lenert retired his last apprentice seamlessly took over and the wild ork hunts continued uninterrupted. It says something of the man that the Kill Krazii gave him a traditional sky burial and when next the tribe were reunited with those returning for a tour in the Imperial Army his name was mentioned at the gathering as one of the lost.

In time young Yarrick was reassigned, it was suspected by those above that he was going native. They probably weren’t wrong. When Yarrick had left him he had been an erudite and mildly urbane student, straight capped the very model of all an aspiring young commissar should be. When he came back to them he was half feral and far more experienced, not actually any wiser but with a highly refined animal cunning that was almost as good. He was also extremely experienced in matters of orkish psychology, physiology and language; the hunting had definitely been a learning experience for him.

For all that he was no longer in any way orthodox in his technique none could deny his effectiveness. His training and apprenticeship was well and truly over and his scarlet sash earned.

As a young man Yarrick found himself appointed to many regiment of Armageddon, though only ever sadly the more numerous Steel Legions. Typically he would serve for a campaign, maybe two, before someone called in enough favours or kicked up enough of a fuss and got him transferred to be someone else’s problem. It was usually the officers that had a problem with him and his “disruptive” methods and “barbaric” tendencies, among them men he was usually tolerated, certainly feared, and often much liked. Yarrick typically moved from unit to unit seemingly almost totally at random more than he spent his time in any stationary or central position of control. He would then observe and participate in the thickest of the action whilst sifting through comm. bead chatter.

It was many, many years before he would again see the world he had grown up on. He was biologically maybe in a good light in his mid 60s when he came home (though given the time distortions of warp travel was closer to 110), grey haired, scarred and hardened like old oak. His last assignment was to take a more sedate teaching position in the Schola he had once come from and spend his last few years trying to impart some wisdom to children too young to appreciate it. He had a pension to look forward to and a retirement with only some light advisory work for the PDF to occupy him. He could relax, for him the war was over. Part of him, he was ashamed to admit, was looking forward to it. The rest of him saw it as some alien and hellish existence he wanted no part of.

He was saved from such a fate by one far worse. Ghazghkull, at the time a much inexperienced Warboss, had just warped into the system aboard a renovated Space Hulk.

One Space Hulk against a hive world like Armageddon, with it’s trillions strong PDF, was a threat but not an insurmountable one. And so, the Overlord of Armageddon. Herman von Strab claimed the Imperium need not know. If the Imperium knew then they would send their Imperial Guard and associated riff raff and undoubtedly put the tithe up for a few years afterwards to cover the debt. No, better to deal with this quietly, in house.

Yarrick anger was pretty incandescent when he heard of this. Had the man not seen the reports? The legions of feral orks in the wilderness and wastelands and jungles? Had he any clue what would happen if they were bolstered and united under an outside authority? He didn’t. He didn’t typically read military reports or concern himself with such drab minutiae.

Rather than retire Sebastian Yarrick started to kick up a fuss in the halls of the nobility and the hierarchy of the PDF. In his time he had acquired some small measure of a reputation among the military and even a little in the mindset of the civilian population. As the orks started to assault the inter-hive roads and rail systems and raid the farmlands his words were given weight of evidence. Overlord von Strab, after several failed arrests where the police officers tasked resigned on the spot, decided to go about silencing the old warmonger and worry spreader more subtly. He gave Commissar Yarrick the position of Senior Advisor to the PDF of Hive Hades. To the public it looked as though von Strab had promoted the old soldier to a useful position and was doing something about the situation, which relieved the growing panic, but also removed public sympathy as any further protests would look like a selfish power grab.

Yarrick was not blind to what had just been done but neither could he do much about it beyond make the best of bad situation. Thankfully the head of the Hades Hive PDF and the Hive Governor, Hartmut Frucht and Gertraud Rösch respectively, were followers of his and wise enough to defer to his extensive experience on the subject of all thing regarding the Orks.

First order of business was to sever public communications with the rest of the world, if the corpulent Overlord could give them orders and it be publicly known he had done so then disobedience would be classed as treason in times of war. Secondly was the introduction of conscription and rationing as well as the issuing of orders for the citizenry to abandon the outlying settlements and farmland near the city before the orks could reach them. Hades was digging in for as long a siege as it could hope for.

But it was to be a hopeless siege. Or at least it would have been had it not been for an old hubworld trader by the name of Unwerth who owed him a favour and had been in the system when the Hulk arrived. Yarrick had no way of knowing if the high gravity spacefarer, on his little trader boat, had survived the orks and made it to the systems edge. All they could do was dig in and hope and survive long enough for rescue to arrive.

It was a grim watch as the storm clouds gathered on the horizon and the low rumble of alien aggression got closer. Grimmer still was the news as the other hives fell, overrun and butchered. Infernus was the first to fall, it’s poorly prepared walls breached in less than a week and it’s famous forges put to darker work. Next was Death Mire Hive barely a month later as feral orks of the jungle and wastelands bolstered the ranks of the off-worlder orks and swelled their forces to obscene scale. Then the others, seemingly in no pattern or order until only Helsreach and Hades remained, the former as the capital had always possessed formidable defences as befitted it’s position and the latter only by the illegal actions of it’s rulers.

All the while, for the months that followed, men and women died on the walls and in the body-strewn mud and ash about them. They were PDF, well beneath the standards of the Imperial Army for the most part, but Yarrick and his officers knew that in those days and in their dying moments they were Guardsmen one and all.

But no siege can continue eternally, no great wall endures the storm forever. Adamantium and ferrocrete began to crumble under the weight of artillery and malice thrown against it and sapper teams of grots and to the horror of all enslaved citizens undermined once thought sturdy foundations. The Orks were in winding and tangled three-dimensional maze of Hive Hades. It was then that the real fighting began. Workers in the effected areas were told to either retreat to the safe districts or grab a weapon and report to the Citizens Militia stations. In the months of the siege and in preparation for it’s failing the outlying districts had been seeded with all manner of traps and snares and these were out into good use.

Once more Old Man Yarrick was abroad in the hives among his soldiers. Where he stood victory was stolen from defeat, lines held, trembling hearts became firm, weapons held steady and the whimpers of animal fear turned to the roar of something fierce and primal. For those moments, and they were just moments, Yarrick could believe he was young again among his friends in the Kill Krazii people. He could not deny that they were loosing ground but they were making the green bastards pay for every inch and if this was to be an end it would be an end remembered for a thousand years in infamy.

For a further six months they held out like this. Loosing ground street by blood swimming street, building by corpse chocked building. They fought not like lions but like cornered dogs left with nowhere to run and still they would not give in to despair. By fire and passion the men and women sold their lives at a high price for those they loved in the diminishing safe zones. They just had to hold out they were reassured.

Time was bought for another few months as the green tide abruptly stopped. What had first appeared to be additional reinforcements approaching from the north were discovered to be outlanders and nomads on their clattering war machines in great number, headed by the warrior priests of the Kill Krazii screaming an unending curse of Death as they mowed down all in their path, circling the city once and scattering the few orks that survived their sudden savagery. Then they too dived into the city. Though they loved the open spaces and they were more than slightly insane they weren’t stupid. They knew that they would return in greater numbers and would be prepared for them this time.

The Hades soldiery were immensely grateful for their brief relief and unexpected reinforcements and wasted no time in repairing the barricades and hastily erecting new defences alongside these strange tribals from the north.

It was a bittersweet reunion for Yarrick. At last he would see his old friends one last time before the end. The eldest of the eldest of the war-priests, indeed the last one left who had met Yarrick in his youth, was unconcerned; “We are witnessed” he informed the old Commissar “and it is a good day for glory”. At these words in his gnarled and shrivelled up soul the old soldier felt some strange and pleasant emotion he had longs since forgotten; belonging. His ancestor gods (by adoption) had not abandoned him.

The next day the old war-priest died with a weapon in his hand and a smile on his lips manning the barricades.

The day after that a most cunning ambush from the storm drains beneath one of the fortifications saw Warboss Ugulhard in mortal combat with Sebastian Yarrick and although the old man won he didn’t land the killing blow before having his right arm taken off at the elbow. Bleeding arterial blood most alarmingly he continued to oversee the defences until the greenskins were beaten back into their tunnels and sealed down their to scurry away or be buried alive and starve in the darkness. Only then did Commissar Yarrick allow the darkness to take him.

When the old man next opened his eyes it was in a triage centre eight days later, ashen pale and grim as death he awoke to the chatter of comm. traffic buzzing in his ear and a mood of celebration. Drop pods had been sighted falling behind the orkish lines, Unwerth had gotten through. The Imperium had learned of their desperation and presumably the incompetence of the Overlord. The mere thought of von Strab brought Yarrick back to a state of Full Commissar, ignoring the lights flashing before and behind his eyes, heedless of the shaking in his legs and the sudden and terrible weight of his coat and sash he stomped out of that improvised hab-block hospital.

Governor Rösch of Hades was more than a little surprised to see him and given his darkened eyes, paled face and her last news of him having been cut down by a warboss for a moment assumed he was some spectre of the unhappy dead. But it was not so as the dead, at least in her mind, did not swear quite so colourfully.

By those final days of the 4th Great War the name of Yarrick was becoming something of a legend. When the common men heard of his fall they began falter for if one so great as he could fall so abruptly then what hope was there for lesser men? Had relief from the Imperium not arrived when it did there would only have been corpses to be rescued.

Caught between hammer and anvil the orks were quickly minced and as the Space Marines cleared landing fields and the main body of the Imperial Army arrived the line was pushed back and pushed back hard. It was commonly shown in the years that followed a one armed Commissar leading the retribution; it was a symbol of Armageddon resilience and dogged determination. The truth of the matter was that for most of the Retribution March Yarrick was in a state of bloodloss and fever.

One thing that is certain is that he was there at the breaking of Helsreach siege, he absolutely did march into the Overlords office, he absolutely issued an execution order for gross criminal incompetence and it was witnessed by several individuals including Chaplain Grimaldus that the execution was issued via kicking him out of a window nearly two miles high.

Then came the long drudge of rebuilding and the tally of the dead.

In the confusion of the last days of the war Ghazghkull mag Uruk Thraka, architect and instigator of a world of sorrows, had shown uncommon Kunnin' and Taktikul thinking and was not counted among the slain. The Beast reborn had escaped. The knowledge of it burned in the commissar's veins and he one thing and one thing only; his life now was for one thing and one thing only, he would hunt down and take Ghazghkull's head. (Light years away an alien mind was reaching a similar conclusion).

From his time among the Kill Krazii he also knew that to hunt you could chase or you could wait. Yarrick didn't know where Ghazghkull was but he knew where he would be. Armageddon had bested him and to the orkish mind that was intolerable and Yarrick knew it would only gnaw at him. He would be back and so Yarrick blew his entire pension and the good will of the Imperium on the best Rejuvenents he could afford. He would ensure that The New Beast got the welcome he deserved and he would be there to greet him.

== Prince Yriel ==

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' The Rogue Trader of Rogue Traders: '''''

Savior and Scourge of Tanith. An Eldar trader and privateer who has traveled the Imperium from Old Earth to the fringe. Any fringe.

The story of prince Yriel begins in the dockyards of Craftworld Iyanden in 248.M38. This is not to say that that wads the day or the place of his birth or, as many detractors have claimed, that his mother was a whore who spent her nights with dock worker. It is merely that this is the first time he appeared on any official records. His craftworld of origin has never been reliably determined but given the possession of a soulstone it is probable that he has one.

Despite intentionally covering his tracks "Prince" Yriel claims to be a descendant of the folk hero Ulthanash and thus permited to take his aristocratic title. The authenticity of this claim is dubious at best.

Circumstances that led him to Iyanden in that year, how he obtained the aptly named ship Hoec's Grace or the origins of his motley crew is also unknown.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

What is known is that since that day the mad bastard has cut a swathe of mayhem a light year wide down the millennia from one end of the Imperium to the other. His name is spoken with detestation by dockyard official on a hundred thousand worlds and reverence on at least as many others. His antics have been a bane to the Imperium down the ages saved from disgrace and condemnation only by the times his antics have been a boon to the Imperium. All he claims in search of the snazziest hat, as befits the heir of Ulthanash.

Of all his deeds the most brazen and greatest was the supply of aid in the defense Iyanden during the war of the Great Kraken. It was he who marched at the head of a half million strong host of Krieger soldiery, each eager to stick a bayonet in his back and held in safety only by an official commissars hat and a document form the Emperor himself with a genuinely forged signature upon it.

Best not to mention that he may or may not have had something to do with the agri-futures fiasco of the Ulthran Cartel.

Of the Prince himself little is known. Rumors abound that he maintains a harem of the most exiting beauties upon Hoec's Grace, now flagship of the Eldritch Raiders "Trader" fleet. Some say that his holds are stuffed to the rafters with rare metals, or bound and tortured captives, a small pocket dimension of Necrontyr manufacture, the preserved and still living brain of a Tyranid hive ship and a hundred other somehow even less plausible things. The one about a surviving member of the original Ordo Chronos admittedly turned out to be true, but only by complete coincidence.

Actual witnesses who have seen, for whatever reason, the inside of his ship tell a very different story. They tell of meticulous order, neatness and professional conduct that would seem no out of place in the old Void Born Navy families and completely at odds with the character of the Prince. Every item in the hold accounted for and noted, ever speck of dirt expunged and every crew member busy and happy about their duties. Possibly this is more in part to do with Kasahkrv the First Mate. He is of the demiurg people and they are known to love orderly conduct. How or why he is present on the Hoec's Grace is unknown, maybe it was a penance.

The other incident that lands squarely at the feet of the Prince is the loss of the planet Tanith.

In the harrowing time of the 12th Black Crusade great fleets and armies were mobilized and war was done on a scale seldom seen. What is remembered less are the more insidious assaults upon the Imperium. The words and deeds that slipped in sideways with smiles upon their friendly faces that infected worlds and stole the souls of the people from the light of civility and lead them down the paths of barbarity and selfish indulgence. On of the worlds afflicted was Tanith, that strange and verdant paradise.

The exact events leading up to the loss of the world are not easy to decipher and many accounts are contradictory in nature. When a world is on fire and neighbors turn on friends and kin in cannibalistic abandon documentation of social and political trends tends to be less of a priority than staying alive.

What was known is that the election of the Governor was called into question and numerous claimants arose although it is unknown who many if any were unclean. A strange new fad for very modest habits arose in the population, primarily at Tanith Magna and spreading out wards from there, a fashion among the aristocracy of wearing as little as possible became evident and then what appeared to be a military coup happened. Society more or less broke down at that point. When it became clear beyond reasonable doubt that the military was not marching to the same drum as the rest of the Imperium a not insignificant chunk of it broke away and mostly hunted down in the forests one unit at a time. And then a Bloodpact armada turned up intent on making what was left of the planet theirs.

Into this shitstorm came the Eldritch Raiders "Trader" fleet. It was clear from the radio transmissions, encoded with subliminal (to baseline humans) Dark Hymnal Choirs as they were, that something was a little off. Also the fleet of warships in orbit bearing the blasphemous Marks.

Eldritch Raiders were officially a trader fleet and as such any identification broadcasts automatically sent out from the fleet would have identified them as such and been completely genuine. Which is not to say that they were entirely true. At least half the ships in the fleet, Hoec's Grace among them, were armed to the teeth. As pirate deterrents they would often claim. Hoec's Grace tore from the ranks of the fleet at full burn, shield up and glowing red, weapons crash charged and a fleet of almost equally mad ships trailing behind it, a pack of mad jackals charging into the midst of wolves. Prince Yriel, never the most stable of creatures, was out for blood.

Formidable as the ships were they were still no warfleet of the Imperial navy and no real contest to an armada of the Bloodpact in a prolonged slugging match. The course of action was questioned by his demiurg First Mate and long time accomplice/friend as this was well outside what he deemed wisdom;

"WISDOM! We have gone well beyond the bounds of wisdom! I say no more. They attack and we hold the line. They invade and we fall back. They take whole sectors and we fall back. Their type took our whole [untranslatable profanity] Empire and we fell back. No more! No more. Here I am drawing [untranslatable profanity] line in the stars! Here, I say! Here! No Further!"

Hoec's Grace slammed into the lead ship at a truly excessive relative velocity, all weapons firing at any available target and it's armored prow plowed through the marauder ship and emerged from the inferno dragging hellfire behind it. Still firing, still killing, scarp and flame and bodies coating it's hull, boarders on half the decks, the control room knee deep in dead chaos... creatures and The Prince himself down to one good eye and more tragically having to resort to only his second snazziest hat.

For what it was worth the attack on the marauder fleet was never meant to destroy them so much as it was a diversion.

The cargo haulers had slipped round the other side of the planet and with the help of mercenary warlocks were scanning the surface for pockets of uncorrupted people. Using the extremely rare (and unlicensed) imperial telelporters a little over fifteen thousand of the helpless were snatched from certain death. By the time what was left of the Marauder fleet realized what was happening it was too late, the hauler fleet was already too far away and accelerating to the systems edge, fleeing with time bought by the escort fleet. Something of Tanith had been saved, the gods had been denied.

But of Tanith itself there was nothing more that could be done. Nuclear warheads were detonated in sequence to cause vast firestorms that scoured the planet clean of the taint of Chaos. Sadly, the warheads also of robbed the planet of most complex life. They say, the men in robes or reds and of dark greens, they say that one day it may bloom again. The Great Nalwood trees might be resurrected to wander again. Tanith Magna might be rebuilt in all it's glory. The children might return home. One day.

It was a pyrrhic victory for both Chaos and The Prince. Chaos wanted a new world to raise cannon fodder on and were handed a holocaust, The Prince wanted to save a world and was forced to burn it as a mercy kill.

The surviving Tanith, such a ragged bunch as they were, were ferried to the unsettled maiden world known as Lileath's Briar Patch in the High Speech. The rather unimaginative refugees rechristened it New Tanith. The world had been claimed by Biel-tan, who had been intending to start colonization any century now and had been for at least the last five thousand years. Their complaints were met with a curt response that boiled down to: It's a big planet. It's a small number of humans. Find another island. Biel-Tan could have contested the settlement but their representative took one look at Prince Yriel and saw that it would not be in anyone's interest to push the issue, if only because Yriel was crazy enough to not back down. To save face, the Craftworld claimed that they had gifted Lileath's Briar Patch to Prince Yriel as a reward for his bravery. If Yriel wanted to give the planet to a bunch of mon-keigh refugees, well, that was his prerogative.

There were a few soldiers that were saved, slightly more than a regiments worth. The nearest they had to a commanding officer was Commissar Gaunt, later Colonel-Commissar. From the remnants of the military of a dead world enough were left behind to form a PDF adequate to the meager population and an undersized regiment that could be used as the core upon which to build with offworld recruits and taught the Tanith way of war. Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt never forgot what Prince Yriel had done for his adopted people and swore an eternal oath to the Corsair Prince. An oath the Corsair Prince was mostly indifferent to.

For this service to the Imperium Prince Yriel received an official Writ of Trade, hand signed by the Emperor himself and presented to him by a senior priestess of Isha. What more, they gave him a new hat and it was a good day.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">''''' The Scarred: '''''

It is one thing for a righteous man to stand up against evil. It is a far harder thing for one to recognize evil when evil is all one has ever known. Such is the story of Yvraine, better known as Yvraine the Scarred. Yvraine started life as a vatborn Dark Eldar, born in a lab with no mother or father, at least, none that would ever claim her as her own. Even at a young age, her talent at combat was notable despite her half-born status, which eventually resulted in her being inducted into a Wych cult. Although she would never escape the stigma of being a half-born in Commorragh, Yvraine was young, talented, and capable. She should have had a bright future.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

That is, before she had to face Lelith Hesperax in the arena. It was clear that Yvraine was meant to be little more than a warm-up kill before the main performance, but Yvraine fought to her limits anyway. Yvraine put up an entertaining enough fight to be spared, but not before Lelith inflicted a deep laceration across her face and the eye beneath it. That should have been a death sentence. Few Dark Eldar would want to see a fight with a wych scarred in such a manner fight, and most wyches who were as scarred as Yvraine was were often forced to fight against unbeatable odds just to watch them die. What’s more, the fact that Yvraine had been spared was an insult to her wych cult, one that the Succubus felt compelled to rectify. Yvraine was indeed forced into an unwinnable fight, but her performance impressed the Succubus enough that she was willing to grant Yvraine a pardon. The “pardon” in question being the cruel mercy of being expelled from the wych cult to live out her days on the streets of Commorragh.

Then came the unholy union between Vect and Lady Malys. At that time, Yvraine was living as a vagabond on the streets of the Dark City. Despite being a former Wych, no Kabal would want her, as her former Succubus had made it very clear that Yvraine was meant to suffer, and any who tried to defy this edict would receive her full attention. Yvraine had never had to make a moral decision before in her life. She was young for an Eldar. She had been involved in a few raids, but the banality with which the other Dark Eldar had treated it meant that she had never really questioned the morality of the situation. However, despite all this, she knew that there was something simply something wrong with Vect’s marriage to the Croneworlder, even by the standards of Commorragh. And so Yvraine did something she would have never considered beforehand. She found a poorly-known entrance to the Dark City and, after killing the guard, fled from Commorragh into the Webway.

It is unknown what Yvraine had meant to accomplish by fleeing into the Webway. She had barely spent any time outside the Dark City before; much less have any idea how to navigate the byzantine passages of the Webway. Perhaps she merely believed that any place, no matter how hostile, was a better place to be than the hellhole that had once been Commorragh. Nevertheless, Yvraine’s naiveté with the Webway was almost her doom. She was only saved from death by a passing troop of Harlequins, who found her curled in a fetal position half-starved to death. Having been saved by the Harlequins, Yvraine travelled with them for a few months as they took their performances to several worlds. However, it was not long before Yvraine discovered the Harlequins’ true destination: the Craftworld Biel-Tan.

Being in the wake of the dark marriage, the eldar of Biel-Tan were naturally skeptical of any Dark Eldar trying to flee Commorragh, but they were certainly interested in what Yvraine was willing to offer in payment: access protocols to an obscure entrance to the Dark City. The codes were somewhat old, but between all of the Dark Eldar who had fled the Dark City, the eldar of Biel-Tan were able to gain access to some of the obscure and half-forgotten entrances of Commorragh (at least until the Dark Eldar changed the codes yet again). As a result of the information gained by her defection, Yvraine was given a soulstone and admitted into Biel-Tan, though not without some reservations. In addition, the healers of Biel-Tan were able to restore Yvraine’s eye to some degree of functionality, though they were unable to do anything about her deep scar.

For a while, Yvraine took up the Path of the Warrior, the only thing she knew how to do, serving as a Dire Avenger in Biel-Tan’s aspect shrines. Yvraine fought with a ferocity one could only have learned from living on the streets of the Dark City, something that impressed her instructor to no end, yet Yvraine was never truly satisfied with herself. It seemed too much like her old days in the wych cult to truly feel comfortable. Eventually she decided to leave Biel-Tan and the Aspect Shrines to become an Outcast, something that broke the heart of her exarch, who had hoped she would eventually succeed him.

Yvraine travelled the worlds of the Imperium for many years, sometimes as a Ranger, other times as a simple traveler. For a few years she even served as a corsair in part of a Rogue Trader’s retinue. Yet no matter what she tried, Yvraine never truly felt satisfied. It was not that she was becoming bored of a task after many years like many other Eldar, it’s that nothing ever felt truly satisfying to begin with. Eventually, her travels took her to the Exodite world Halathel, where she finally found her calling. On Halathel, Yvraine discovered the joys of agriculture, and found that it was a lot more satisfying to make something grow than to cut it down. It was a truly strange tale, after travelling much of the galaxy and having experienced most facets of Eldar life, Yvraine the Scarred had found purpose in simply tilling the soil.

However, the strangest part of Yvraine’s story was yet to come. In recent years, Eldar farseers trying to observe the Shadowpoint, the point where the Threads of Fate seem to simultaneously break down and spread out in every conceivable direction, have noticed the recurrent mention of a previously unknown being, a being called Ynnead. Perhaps even more unusually, many of these visions seem to refer to Yvraine, or at least “an Eldar who both is and is not of the light”. As a result, many Craftworld Eldar have come to Halathel, trying to figure out what possible connection Yvraine could have to this entity. Yvraine, on the other hand, just wants them to get the hell off her property before they trample her potatoes.

== Zu'se ==

Zu'se is, or was, a Necron cryptek. A "dust weaver" meaning specialist in nanotech of all kinds.

His Lord had "acquired" some blanks and tasked the cryptek to research them and how they might be used.

After some research and cross reference with information extracted from Eldar captives Zu'se came to a realization: 1) blanks were soulless 2) blanks were alive. Therefore having a soul was not mandatory to being alive. All the stuff about reversing biotransference was bullshit. If any Necron wanted to be touchy-feely again, they just needed to put better covers, sensors and actuators on their frames.

The cryptek acted on the concept by "hacking" his own body. Using nanotech to make it quasi-biological. With somewhat animalistic appearance to drive the point home.
As could be expected, his masters did not agree - bound as they were by hierarchies and Silent Kings dictates.

So Zu'se went rogue and now travels the galaxy. Working to refine and show off the possibility of (partially) technological life by seeking out small, undefended population of lesser races and "upgrading" them - generally with nanotech and/or implants. Objectively, most upgrades really are an improvement in at least some areas. But the cryptek has no interest in negotiation and no concept of psychological damage, which makes things less than pleasant.

While some have joined him, most other Necron consider Zu'se to be: 1) completely insane 2) not their problem. A view probably best articulated by Trazyn who called Zu'ses group "fluffy flayers".

Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Eldar

2026-05-20T14:43:56Z

192.42.116.15:

{{cleanup}}
{{Autism}}

This is the 8th Edition's Eldar tactics. [[Warhammer_40,000/7th_Edition_Tactics/Eldar|7th Edition Tactics are here.]] Their current tactics can be found [[Warhammer 40,000/Tactics/Eldar (9E)|here.]]

==Why play Eldar?==
The <s>[[ChapterHouse_Studios#Result|Aeldari]]</s> [[Eldar]], are all about elegance, efficiency, finesse, style, and precision, and are basically alone in this aesthetic among the races of Warhammer 40,000. In the game, the Eldar are a fast army with great guns, awesome toys and the resilience of strawberry shortcake. Each unit plays a very particular role, usually, everyone in a squad has the same gun and the squad as a whole aims for one goal, as opposed to squads of dudes each toting a different gun for a different kind of foe. This can help new players by not forcing them to keep all of a squad's weaponry in mind, but it also requires you move the right squad for the job to the right place, which can be tactically challenging. An ill-positioned Eldar squad has a greater chance of doing nothing than those of other armies. Some units, like Jetbikes, overcome this disadvantage with superior speed and mobility. This is huge in a game where most of the missions are about capturing objectives. If you are the kind of elf who likes it [[Just As Planned | when a plan comes together]], you might be tactical enough to lead the Eldar to their victory upon the battlefield.

====Pros====
*Fast overall with strong shooting capabilities.
*Excellent psychic powers and utility HQs such as Warlocks and Farseers.
*All the buffs and debuffs (mostly psychic, but you cannot complain) you wanted and the ability to deliver them wherever you please, with ever-reliable Farseers or psychic flyers with auto-hitting S12 flamers of doom.
*Comboing Stratagems and Psychic powers together can turn even lowly Guardians into a brick wall, or make your already tough units make Custodes look flimsy by comparison.
*Generally good leadership on most of your infantry with plenty of access to leadership buffs through auras, warlord traits, psychic support or Craftworld Attributes; some of which just make the units affected fearless.
*Eldar Trickery is back! Now you have countless ways to mess with your opponent's minds, be it Redeployment and Deepstrike strategems, Great psychic powers to enhance your Craftworlders already formidable firepower or to make one unit nigh-invulnerable for a crucial moment. And don't say 1+/4++ on top -4 to hit modifier is not dirty. A savvy player can easily become a serious Troll in the end.
*Farseers are still the most reliable Psykers in the game. Losing one to perils is very rare, especially by 8th Editions standards. 5+ to ignore any mortal wound is pretty neat by itself but GW decided that Farseers has not received enough love and '''now they ignore mortal wounds from perils on 2+''' (something only Tzeentch Daemons can also claim for their Generic HQ units). Even then, free re-rolls to any roll to manifest or deny a power and will ensure that you do only perils in the most unfortunate circumstances. These circumstances become even more scarce if you enhance your seers with the Focus Will power, ''Children of Prophecy'' custom attribute and/or the ''Seer Council'' stratagem for a level of psychic insurance unmatched by any other.
*Aspect Warriors are finally awesome again! This solidifies our army's identity as an elite force of highly specialised troops that have an answer to any role or situation you can imagine as long as they are in the right place at the right time. (Though no aspect host strategems for 2+WS/BS)
*Access to some of the best Flyers in the game.
*Speaking of fliers, the {{W40Kkeyword| Fly}} keyword is everywhere. You won't be struggling much with terrain or enemy models getting in the way.
*Dark Reapers. No seriously. They are one of the best units in the entire game right now.
*Significantly expanded customization as of Phoenix Rising, thanks to the ability to make your own Craftworld Attributes and Exarchs becoming pseudo-characters.

====Cons====
*All of your {{W40Kkeyword|Infantry}} models (except for a select few) go squish. T3 is not much. May be remedied with countless negative to hit modifiers and with a new wounding/AP mechanic Heavy bolters are no longer our nemesis. We are extremely reliant on our armour saves and stacking negative hit modifiers to survive, so high AP weapons and/or anything that lets you ignore cover (Like Imperial Fists or Iron Warriors in general) means you have already won half the fight against Eldar.
*While we have some units that can do serious work in the close combat phase, we should generally stay out of it unless it is to sweep up units at the end of the game. With a few exceptions, the majority of our {{W40Kkeyword|INFANTRY}} models are only S3 with very few options to effectively bypass it the way Drukhari or Harlequins can.
*Many of your average infantry's basic and heavy weapons may be slightly stronger, but have considerably shorter ranges than their equivalents in other armies. While this is slightly alleviated with the Eldar's faster movement, the loss of Fleet and Battle Focus getting nerfed means getting your troops in range is far more committing and far more punishable than before.
*All Aeldari Special Characters are still overcosted for what they do even if most of them did get buffed. <s>Thankfully Eldrad got a price drop so is definitely much more usable.</s> Aaaand now he got a price increase thanks to CA 2019.
*[[Derp|Most vehicles have lost the ability to take Vehicle equipment.]] <s><span style='color:red;font-size:110%;font-family:serif'>.....You have our sympathies Xenos, we know the path you walk....</span></s> <s>{{BLAM|HERESY!}}{{BLAM}}</s> {{FWIP}} Apologies, Commander. It appears as though a Mon'Keigh Political Officer managed to escape...May I keep his hat?<span style='color:red;font-size:110%;font-family:serif'>.....Un-augmented dolt, you scorched my robe.....</span>
*Virtually your entire list is extremely specialized, bar a few exceptions. While this helps these units perform admirably against their intended targets, it can make them virtually useless when forced to engage enemies outside their specialty. Additionally, many of the units in these dedicated roles (particularly your Aspect Warriors) may even struggle to do the jobs they're ''designed'' for without support from a nearby Warlock/Farseer to bring them up to par with their equivalents in other armies (that are either inherently more cost efficient, effective or any combination thereof). This can be a particular challenge for newer players.
*From a modelling perspective, a massively disproportionate amount of your unit choices are still in Finecast Resin, or even Metalcast. What's worse is most of the resin models happen to be some of the more iconic eldar units (almost all of the Aspect Warriors, their respective Phoenix Lords and the Avatar of Khaine, for example). This is compounded by the fact that as a non-Imperial/Chaos faction, the Eldar are on the ass-end of new model releases and the few recasts/kits they create are drip-fed once every half year or so. Because of this, unless you're great at molding GreenStuff or an expert kitbasher, your Craftworld infantry will be extremely difficult to customize. <b>
Plastic Aspect Warriors Confirmed FUCK YEAH! (At least Banshees.) </b>

==Faction Keywords==
There are four distinct {{W40Kkeyword|AELDARI}} groups that all eldar armies fall under; {{W40Kkeyword|ASURYANI}}, [[Warhammer 40,000/Tactics/Dark Eldar(8E)|{{W40Kkeyword|DRUKHARI}}]], [[Warhammer 40,000/Tactics/Eldar Harlequins(8E)|{{W40Kkeyword|HARLEQUINS}}]] and [[Warhammer_40,000/Tactics/Eldar(8E)#Corsair_Overview|{{W40Kkeyword|ANHRATHE}}]]. Craftworlders are specifically designated as {{W40Kkeyword|ASURYANI}}, with most of said units having one of five {{W40Kkeyword|<CRAFTWORLD>}} designations.

An important note for any eldar player is that the FAQ introduced Battle Brothers rule states that the {{W40Kkeyword|AELDARI}} and {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari}} Faction tags are no longer sufficient to include {{W40Kkeyword|HARLEQUINS}} and {{W40Kkeyword|DRUKHARI}} units in a predominately {{W40Kkeyword|ASURYANI}} detachment and remain Battle-Forged for Matched Play games. This can easily be worked around by simply taking these units in a separate detachment, and this rule does not apply for Narrative or Open Play games.

The Craftworld army is divided under several major keywords of note, each with a variety of specialized perks associated with them. For convenience, the major keywords and their associated units are listed in the table below.

The Asuryani units not listed here fall under the {{W40Kkeyword|Warhost}} keyword, which just kind of...exists.

===Specialization Detachment Keywords===
Introduced in the Vigilus Defiant campaign, several "sub-factions" were made available for players wishing to create specialized, thematic armies while rewarding them with unique tactics and abilities. Any battle-forged {{W40Kkeyword|Asuryani}} detachment can be chosen to become either a {{W40Kkeyword|Windrider Host}} or {{W40Kkeyword|Wraith Host}} at the cost of 1 CP, with all applicable units gaining the respective host keyword associated with them. Do keep in mind; {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari}} detachments are ineligible for these specializations per the recent FAQ, so plan accordingly.

|}

==Special Rules==
*'''Ancient Doom:''' Re-roll all failed to hit rolls in the fight phase if it charges/is charged by a Slaanesh unit. However, you must add 1 to all morale rolls when within 3" of a Slaanesh unit. A fluffy rule that helps more than hurts, but the only units likely to use this rule intentionally would likely be Howling Banshees, Striking Scorpions and Wraithblades. Every other unit would be better served literally anywhere else that isn't in melee with Chaos units, let alone Slaanesh daemons.
*'''Battle Focus:''' Responsible for a fair bit of bitching in 6th and 7th Edition, it's finally been changed. Now instead of moving-shoot-move or moving-move-shoot, you can fire after moving as if you have not moved/'''advanced''' in the movement phase (so old move-move-shoot). Heavy Weapons are not allowed to use this. The whole wording thus means that Asuryani infantry and jetbikes can advance and still fire assault weapons with no -1 to hit and rapid fire after advancing, [[Derp|too bad we don't have too much rapid fire]]. All of this means that the old debate "Scatter laser VS Shuriken cannon" is over for sure (unless you're going as Saim-Hann). To be honest now battle focus feels just a bit more useful than SMs ATSKNF (very bad), as pretty much it affects only infantry, jetbikes and War Walkers and now it only gives you the ability to come 1d6" closer to your enemy (which with the army-wide loss of Fleet, isn't even re-rollable anymore), something that can be used to great effect only by Guardians and maybe Fire Dragons (anyway coming too close is a bad idea).
*'''Heroes of Legend:''' Including Phoenix Lords in your army won't mess with your Craftworld Attribute. They also can never benefit from Craftworld attributes.
*'''The Path of War:''' Objective Secured, 8th Edition Craftworld style. All Asuryani Troop choices in a Battleforged army have this rule.

===Core Craftworlds===
These are the classic, original Craftworlds that you may select for [[Your Dudes]]. While they are certainly less customizable that the build-a-craftworld attributes listed further below, these have the benefit of unique Stratagems, Relics and named Characters that are otherwise unavailable to you. More elaborated unit recommendations can be found in the '''Army Building''' section. Remember that your Ynnari or Conclave units don't gain any benefits from these.
====[[Alaitoc]]====
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
{|
|[[File:Alaitoc banner large by mirageknight32-d62s4fo.jpg|Border|75px|left]]
|A craftworld so strictly governed that many of its denizens would rather walk the path of the outcast than live such regimented lives. As such, Alaitoc generates many more rangers, pathfinders and corsairs than any other major craftworld. Despite their reluctance to remain on Alaitoc, these outcasts still ultimately remain loyal to their people and offer their services as spies and marksmen when called.

In practice, Alaitoc reflects this by encouraging you to play ''very'' defensively. Many of your units can become extremely difficult to shoot at range when properly supported with Alaitoc's attribute and the myriad of other hit-modifiers available to you, forcing opponents to get closer or get into melee combat to reliably deal damage. Conversely, this attribute is virtually useless for any of your units who rely on being in close range to do their jobs, such as Howling Banshees or Fire Dragons.
|}
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
=====Alaitoc Special Rules=====
*'''Attribute – Fieldcraft:''' Your opponent must subtract 1 from any hit rolls made by models from more than 12" away.
**There isn't a single unit in the entire Craftworlds list that does not benefit from this in some way (-2 to hit for Triple Cannon Wave Serpents and Crimson Hunters? -3 to Shadow Spectres and Rangers with Conceal in play? Yes please!) Unless you are going for a specific or fluffy Craftworld list, this will most likely be your default Craftworld Attribute.
**An interesting clarification was made in the 9/2019 FAQ in that all ''models'' outside 12" suffer the hit penalty, even if the unit they're in is within that bubble. Definitely worth keeping in mind, if only to remove room for interpretation on your opponent's part.

*'''Warlord Trait - Puritanical Leader:''' If all units within 6" of your Warlord are {{W40kKeyword|Alaitoc}}, they automatically pass Morale tests. Illic Nightspear must take this if chosen as your Warlord.
**Nice if you don't want to shell out 2CP for fearless.
**Obviously, this does absolutely nothing for an Avatar of Khaine, who already has this. Can be very good on an Autarch, though, since it has the same range as his re-roll aura, and gives you a good excuse not to find a way to get Will of Asuryan onto your table. Plus, who doesn't want a mobile bunker of Fearless, especially with the mobility options an Autarch has?

*'''Stratagem - Pathfinders (1 CP):''' At the start of an enemy shooting phase, pick a unit of {{W40kKeyword|Alaitoc Rangers}} in cover. All attacks that target that unit in this phase will only hit on a 6, irrespective of modifiers.
**Note this is a flat 6, not a 6+, so keep that in mind when using this as your Rangers are already going to be -2 to Hit while in Cover anyway. In very select circumstances, this can actually buff enemy units attempting to shoot them as it guarantees a hit on a roll of a 6. In most cases, it can be a very useful tool for a squad camping objectives or deepstriking deep in enemy-held territory where ''Conceal'' support is unavailable or better used on something else.

*'''Remnant of Glory - Shiftshroud of Alanssair ({{W40kKeyword|INFANTRY}} only):''' -1 to hit the bearer in the Shooting phase, and the bearer can Deep Strike.
** A great relic that stacks with your attribute to grant a -2 to-hit modifier to a regular Farseer, Warlock or Spiritseer at ranges over 12". An Autarch can take this, but seeing as they already have the exclusive ''Shimmerplume of Achillrial'' remnant, you'll probably only want to do this if you're taking multiple Autarchs for some reason. Note that the Skyrunner variants of the Farseer, Warlock and Autarch cannot take this relic.

=====Special Unit=====
'''HQ'''
*'''Illic Nightspear''': At a reduced price of 65 points, Illic Nightspear is a cheap and potent HQ choice that excels at killing enemy {{W40kKeyword|Characters}}. Equipped with a special ranger rifle named the Voidbringer, Illic fires a single S4 AP-3 shot a turn that can target characters freely, deals a flat 3 damage, plus a mortal wound on a damage roll of a 6+. Did I mention that he wounds all non-{{W40kKeyword|Vehicle}} models on a 2+ and hits on a 2+? One or two rounds of shooting are all you'll need to take down squishier characters like Commissars, Warlocks, Apothecaries and Crypteks. Speaking of Crypteks, Illic's last notable perk is that he gets to re-roll all failed hit and wound rolls against {{W40kKeyword|Necron}} units. Where Illic starts to become dead weight is when most single model units have been dealt with; having only one shot a turn means that Illic will at most off one single model a turn (two, if you get lucky and roll a 6 for the bonus mortal wound against 1 wound models). This makes him virtually useless for the rest of the game, as unlike many of your other options, Illic has no way (outside being made your Warlord and using ''Puritanical Leader'' to ignore morale) of supporting any of your units. Thankfully, his revised price point means that if nothing else, you can bring him just to fill up an HQ slot for Battalion/Brigade detachments.

</div>
</div>

====[[Biel-Tan]]====
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
{|
|[[File:Biel tan banner large by mirageknight32-d62s4xb.jpg|Border|75px|left]]
|A highly militarized craftworld, Biel-Tan's martial might has been halved following the Fracture of their worldship and the subsequent rise of the Ynnari. Despite this, theirs is a force still to be reckoned with. The path of the warrior is so thoroughly ingrained in Biel-Tan's society that many consider service in one of their numerous Aspect Warrior shrines to be the first step along the greater path of the eldar.

Biel-Tan is arguably the most "thematic" of your choices and the vanilla craftworld that Aspect Warrior enthusiasts benefit from most. Leadership and Shuriken buffs provide considerable support for an infantry focused army and a degree of offensive flexibility other craftworlds may find somewhat lacking.
|}
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
=====Biel-Tan Special Rules=====
*'''Attribute – Swordwind:''' All {{W40Kkeyword|Aspect Warrior}}s get +1 Ld and you may reroll to-hit rolls of 1 for all Shuriken weapons (including Scorpion Claws, Kurnous' Bow, and any Blazing Star of Vaul).
**The improved leadership barely makes any difference unless you intend to max out squads (and even then, it's still situational); it is the Shuriken buff that should be the only reason for you to consider this Attribute.
***Many units have access to some sort of Shuriken weapon: Dire Avengers, Shining Spears, Howling Banshees, Striking Scorpions, Guardians (both types), everything on Jetbikes, almost every vehicle, and more. If you love rolling many dice and want to drown your opponent in tons of saves, take Biel-Tan.
***That said, remember you have easy access to the same mechanic elsewhere, so by the same token, if you're taking this, take less of the other sources: Autarchs provide no benefit to Biel-Tan Shuriken weapons, and Farseers with Guide provide less benefit than to other Craftworlds. Biel-Tan Dark Reaper Exarchs are specifically in a weird place where they get no improved accuracy with a Shuriken Cannon, as well.
****Even worse, the introduction of Shuriken-buffing custom attributes such as ''Hail of Doom'' and ''Superior Shuriken'' offer flat performance upgrades to the weapons themselves which can then be supplemented by Autarch/Farseer support, meaning Biel-Tan is hardly the best attribute (or combination thereof) for spamming Shuriken weapons these days. If you're running Biel-Tan, you'll definitely want to do so more for the unique stratagem or remnants than the attribute itself.

*'''Warlord Trait - Natural Leader:''' At the start of the shooting phase, pick a friendly {{W40kKeyword|Biel-Tan}} unit within 3" of the Warlord. That unit re-rolls all misses for that phase.
**Functionally, it's very similar to the Guide psychic power. It is slightly worse, however, due to the ''much'' shorter range and the fact it lasts only until the end of the active shooting phase. That said, a Farseer can potentially use it in tandem ''with'' Guide in order to support multiple units with reroll support. Autarchs are not ideal users of this trait due to their aura already offering re-roll support (hit rolls of 1 instead of all, but it applies to everything within 6" instead of just one unit within 3").

*'''Stratagem - Court of the Young King (2 CP):''' At the start of the Charge phase, pick a {{W40kKeyword|Biel-Tan Aspect Warrior}} unit that contains an Exarch. That unit adds 2 to its charge rolls and will re-roll hit results of 1 in the subsequent Fight phase. If the unit in question is within 6" of the Avatar of Khaine when the stratagem is used (i.e. before the charge movement happens), it adds 3 to the charge roll and can re-roll all failed hits in the following Fight phase instead.
**While a touch pricey, this can stack wonderfully with the new Ghostwalk psychic power to add 4" to the charge, a perfect way to reliably charge a squad that just arrived on the table from reserves.
***Howling Banshees deserve some small mention in particular, combine this stratagem with their Acrobatics ability and the Ghostwalk power and you can add up to 6" to their charge rolls, 7" if you have them screening an Avatar on the approach!

*'''Remnant of Glory - The Burnished Blade of Eliarna:''' Replaces a power sword; S User, AP-3 with D2 that gains S+1 and D3 against {{W40kKeyword|Orks}}.
**Strictly better than a power sword on your Autarch against multi-wound models, but worse than the Shard of Anaris against almost everything, or the Firesabre against single wound models. A pretty easy skip.

*'''Remnant of Glory - The Spirit Stone of Anath'Lan ({{W40kKeyword|Psyker}} only):''' The {{W40kKeyword|PSYKER}} using this may re-roll failed Psychic Tests, but any test that also fails a second time prevents the Psyker from casting any additional powers that phase.
**Best used on a key Warlock or Spiritseer, who lack the Ghosthelm re-roll support and Perils of the Warp protection that your Farseers have. They can also only cast one power a turn anyways, so failing twice in a row won't penalize you any more than your tragically poor luck already has. That said, Farseers can still make ok use of it, in the event that they fail their second cast of the turn and have already used their Ghosthelm re-roll.

=====Special Unit=====
'''Elites'''
*'''Amallyn Shadowguide''': A character from the new Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress box, Amallyn serves kind of an awkward role in a 40k detachment. She's one of the few named characters in regular 40k who isn't an HQ choice, and like most named characters, is strictly associated with one particular sub-faction of her kind (Biel-Tan in Amallyn's case). Her stat-sheet is almost virtually identical to your standard Rangers. But for Amallyn's 50 points, what are you getting over a regular squad of rangers? Well, as a relatively cheap character with 3 wounds, Amallyn can sit securely in or behind other units while she takes potshots with her sniper rifle, which benefits from a slightly buffed BS of a 2+. She's also not completely helpless in melee, having one extra attack and a small Power blade to cut through armor a bit more easily than any other of your rangers could. Lastly, and probably most importantly, Amallyn benefits from a 4++ invuln, meaning even if she's caught with her pants down, she'll still at least have a save of some kind. But is she worth it? If she were an HQ choice, definitely. Sadly, as far as your elite choices go, you'll have much more cost effective choices to fill these slots (seeing as she's limited to Biel-Tan, Howling Banshees or Striking Scorpions would probably be better for your army). Additionally, a regular squad of rangers runs only 10 points more and will easily plant more wounds on enemy units per turn than Amallyn could in every circumstance (they have the same Ranger Long Rifle, after all). Plus, said regular rangers can abuse both Alaitoc's attribute and unique stratagem to bolster their defenses drastically. If nothing else, Amallyn can be used if you need an elite choice and need to save as many points as possible for whatever else you're bringing.

====[[Iyanden]]====
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
{|
|[[File:Iyanden banner v3 by mirageknight32.jpg|Border|75px|left]]
|Once the most populous of the craftworlds, numerous costly invasions of Iyanden by the tyranids, orks and even Chaos have slain four out of every five eldar living within the worldship. With such swollen ghost halls, the eldar of Iyanden have little choice but to rely on Wraith constructs to make up for their vastly diminished manpower.

Iyanden's playstyle very much reflects their fluff; massive casualties will do little to intimidate your blobs of infantry and your opponents will find your vehicles and constructs almost oppressively effective as long as they remain standing.
|}
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
=====Iyanden Special Rules=====
*'''Attribute – Stoic Endurance:''' Units never lose more than one model from morale tests. If a unit has a damage chart, then double its current number of wounds for determining its characteristics.
** Iyanden is the most defensive attribute that doesn't prevent any damage, but keeps you fighting to the last Eldar. This lets you take large units, which is awesome for your Guardians, Swooping Hawks, Warp Spiders, and Striking Scorpions, who all benefit considerably from taking a max strength unit. On its own, it is comparatively ''bad'' for Wraithguard and Wraithblades, who already have high leadership and need to keep their unit sizes smaller to fit in transports. On the other hand, Wraithlords, Wraithseers and Wraithknights ''greatly'' benefit from the damage chart modifier, as do any of your vehicles and fliers (Hemlock Wraithfighter exempted, ironically).

*'''Warlord Trait - Enduring Resolve:''' The Warlord may attempt to deny one psychic power in each psychic phase. If your Warlord's a Psyker, they can deny one more power. Prince Yriel must take this if chosen as your Warlord.
**Between your Warlocks (and their variants), Spiritseers, Farseers (and their skyrunner variants), Hemlock Wraithfighters and even Wraithseers, you won't exactly find yourself wanting for ways to shut down enemy psykers. If for some reason you insist on running an Autarch (or Yriel) as your Warlord and don't have any (or very few) psykers to run support, then it can offer some means of resisting enemy psykers. It really shouldn't be your go to choice though.

*'''Stratagem - Guided Wraithsight (1 CP):''' At the start of your turn, you may pick an {{W40kKeyword|Iyanden}} Spiritseer. Until your next turn, the range of its Spirit Mark ability is increased to 12", and it allows friendly {{W40kKeyword|IYANDEN WRAITH CONSTRUCT}} units the ability to re-roll all failed hit rolls, not just 1s.
**The best beneficiary of this stratagem would be your Wraithcannon Wraithguard and ranged Wraithlord/Wraithknight variants. They are the only ones who genuinely benefit from the increased radius, though even your Wraithblades (especially Ghostaxe Wraithblades) can't argue with full re-roll support. D-Scythe Wraithguard and Hemlock Wraithfighters gain no benefit from this.
**Don't forget, the re-rolls apply against ''all'' enemy units within Spirit Mark's radius, giving all your wraith units full-reroll support against anything within that Spiritseer's 2' bubble. Don't be afraid to split your shots.

*'''Remnant of Glory - Psytronome of Iyanden ({{W40kKeyword|Psyker}} only):''' Single-use only, all friendly {{W40kKeyword|IYANDEN WRAITH CONSTRUCT}} units within 6" of the bearer have their attacks doubled for one fight phase, but each such will take 1d3 mortal wounds at the end of the phase.
**Despite its limit of once per battle, the Psytronome can turn your Wraithblades into extraordinarily vicious melee units that can butcher virtually anything in the game through their sheer volume of attacks. Given the one-time nature of this relic, you may as well splurge and use any and all stratagems and psychic powers that you can to make the most out of each of these swings. If a Spiritseer is wielding the Psytronome, go ahead and spend couple command points to activate Guided Wraithsight and Supreme Disdain to re-roll all misses and proc extra attacks on hit rolls of a 6+. If you're targeting something particularly thick and meaty in the wounds department, have your Spiritseer cast either Empower or Jinx (or both, if you have another spiritseer/warlock accompanying them) and/or a Farseer cast Doom to boost their odds of wounding your target. Lastly, if you can afford it, taking these units in a {{W40kKeyword|Wraith Host}} and using the Wrath of the Dead stratagem can grant a single squad of five Ghostsword Wraithblades a ''minimum'' of 35 S6 AP-2 D1 attacks that hit on 3's, wound MEQ/TEQ on 3's, proc additional attacks on hit rolls of 6's and re-roll failed hits and wounds. With ''this'' much support, a single 5-statue squad will stand a very real chance at killing an Imperial Knight in a single charge.

=====Special Unit=====
'''HQ'''
*'''Prince Yriel''': The cheapest Autarch variant you can take, Prince Yriel lacks the mobility options his generic cousins have access in exchange for one extra wound over his {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} kin. This isn't even mentioning the arsenal those generic Autarchs have access to if they run the Legends gear (when legal). The main selling point Yriel has would be his Spear of Twilight, a murderous melee weapon that deals d3 damage per swing and always wounds on a 2+. Just like your Warlock/Farseer witch blades, this applies to literally everything in the game, from the tiniest Grot to the largest Warlord Titan. Unlike those witch blades, the Spear of Twilight also has a modest AP-2 to carve through some armor as well, making it a legitimate threat to most standard units in the game. Unfortunately, that's about where the good news ends for Yriel. His only ranged option, The Eye of Wrath, is a 3" pistol that shoots d6 S6 AP-2 shots that can only be shot once per battle. Really more of a fancy finishing flourish against a character you don't much care for than an actual weapon. What's worse is that as a dedicated melee character, Yriel suffers from having to re-roll all saving rolls of a 6 from attacks made in the fight phase, making him defensively weaker in a fist fight than any other Autarch variant. If you do take him, make sure he has a reasonably fighty bodyguard unit or a transport to tuck him into when moving him across the field.

====[[Saim-Hann]]====
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
{|
|[[File:Saim-Hann Banner-d62s39r.jpg|Border|75px|left]]
|The Wild Rider clans of Saim-Hann are an honor-bound people who put the welfare of their clans second only to that of Saim-Hann itself. The Eldar of Saim-Hann specialize in swift, rapid assaults spearheaded by jetbikes and vypers, striking their foes hard and fast before retreating beyond their vengeful opponent's retaliation.

Your bikers in particular will prove exceptionally mobile when fielded under Saim-Hann, even by eldar standards. Armies looking for raw speed and maneuverability will not be left wanting under the banner of Saim-Hann.
|}
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
=====Saim-Hann Special Rules=====
*'''Attribute – Wild Host:''' Re-roll failed charge rolls. Bikers do not suffer a penalty for moving and firing heavy weapons.
**If you want to use anything on a Jetbike, or plan on engaging in close combat even somewhat frequently, then this is the attribute for you.
**Autarch Skyrunners with the warlord trait Mark of the Incomparable Hunter deserve special mention, because they can move and shoot their Reaper Launchers at Characters without penalty. A missile or two is capable of evaporating an awful lot of buffing support characters that are otherwise very resistant to sniper fire (and you weren't taking Rangers with Saim-Hann, anyway). Now only a legal option in casual games or tournaments that allow Legends units.

*'''Warlord Trait - Wild Rider Chieftain:''' Whenever your Warlord piles in or performs a Heroic Intervention, it can move 3" toward the nearest enemy {{W40kKeyword|Character}} rather than the nearest enemy model. In addition, if your warlord throws all of their attacks at one enemy {{W40kKeyword|Character}}, you add 1 to their attack characteristic until the end of that phase.
**Brutal on an Avatar when attacking a character - WS2+ A6 S8 AP-4 D2d6 keep highest? Even Rowboat himself is going to be seriously considering falling back (and with Doom support, Mathhammer gives the Avatar a damn good chance at killing him if you're willing to burn CP to guarantee first swing on the next turn). A Wraithseer can also pulp any character idiotic enough to get too close with 5 S9 AP-4 attacks doing D6 damage per stab. It is also a touch more durable (12 Wounds at T7 that can be healed with a Bonesinger and/or Tears of Isha) and for just a bit less than half the cost (100p base compared to the Avatar's 220p as of Chapter Approved 2018), though without healing support, will perform notably worse when it gets focus-fired and worn down (and since it has more than 10 wounds, it will get focus fired). Can be mitigated by keeping it in melee and healing it when necessary. Everyone else should be staying out of melee combat though.

*'''Stratagem - Warriors of the Raging Winds (1CP):''' A {{W40kKeyword|Saim-Hann Biker}} can advance and charge in the same turn. It can re-roll hit rolls of 1 in the Fight phase of that turn.
**Fantastic supporting stratagem for Shining Spears or a Warlock Conclave.

*'''Remnant of Glory - The Novalance of Saim-Hann:''' Replaces an Autarch's Laser Lance. A S+2 (S5, S8 on a turn that you charged) AP-4 D2 lance that deals a flat 4 damage on wound rolls of a 6+ against a target.
**A very easy choice for an Autarch Skyrunner that's highly effective against most standard targets in the game.

</div>

====[[Ulthwé]]====
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
{|
|[[File:Ulthwe Banner Flag.jpg|Border|75px|left]]
|Ulthwé has stood vigil over the Eye of Terror for millennia, constantly warring against the agents of Chaos directly or by the Seers of Ulthwé manipulating others into fighting for them. For those times when Ulthwé must take a personal hand in battle, the legendary Black Guardians are often the first into battle, their heightened discipline and training making up for the relative lack of aspect warriors compared to other major craftworlds.

Ulthwé doesn't particularly encourage any general focus for your army the way the other big four craftworlds do, as while everything in an Ulthwé list benefits from the attribute, none benefit so much so as to buckle down on particular gimmicks to abuse. That said, Guardians and Psykers get an extra toy or two over the competition and having Eldrad himself lead your army is often incentive enough to lead the Damned into battle.
|}
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
=====Ulthwé Special Rules=====
*'''Attribute – Foresight of the Damned:''' Global 6+ FNP.
** For your vehicles this is essentially a "free" Spirit Stones upgrade, which is a nice 10 free points per vehicle, although other Craftworlds can buy the Stones ''and'' apply their attribute (meaning that Iyanden and Alaitoc have more durable Wave Serpents). For everything else, the overall defensive net effect is comparable to Alaitoc. For example, against 3+ to hit armies Alaitoc will net 25% less hits whilst Ulthwé will result in 20% less wounds taken, factoring in full rerolls (chapter masters everywhere...) Alaitoc will net 14% less hits. If you intend on staying far away from your enemy, take Alaitoc; if you will come closer than 12" or want to field Eldrad Ulthran, take Ulthwé. Together with Ulthwé's special Stratagem this will let you make the most out of a max size Guardian squad. Warlocks like it too, since it gives them a(n unreliable) way to soak Perils wounds.

*'''Warlord Trait - Fate Reader:''' If your army is Battleforged, and your Warlord is on the battlefield, roll a d6 at the beginning of each turn; on a 6 you gain a command point. Eldrad Ulthran must take this as his trait if chosen as your Warlord.
**A situational and somewhat useful trait. Due to being affected by the "Tactical Restraint" rule per the 2019 April FAQ, it's not as enticing to take (especially if you're running an Autarch as your Warlord).

*'''Stratagem - Discipline of the Black Guardians(1CP):''' At the start of a shooting or fight phase, you can pick an {{W40kKeyword|Ulthwé Guardian}} unit. They can add +1 to all hit rolls until the end of the phase.
**The following have the {{W40kKeyword|Guardian}} keyword: Guardian Defenders (including Heavy Weapon Platforms), Storm Guardians, and Support Weapons. The big deal is the fact that you can move your Platforms and D-Cannon Support Weapons without taking a hit to accuracy.

*'''Remnant of Glory - Ghosthelm of Alishazier ({{W40Kkeyword|Psyker}} only):''' Add +1 to Psychic tests made to manifest Smite.
**The modifier makes it easier to do 1d6 Mortal Wounds with Smite, so why not?
**You'll ideally want to give this to a supporting Spiritseer. You'll (very likely) already be running Eldrad in an Ulthwé list, who'll likely be benefiting from the ''Focus Will'' power to fire off psychic tests with +3 to his results (+4 if he's paired with a Warlock (Conclave)), and Spiritseers are your cheapest psyker characters capable of casting a standard smite. You can of course opt to give this to a regular Farseer if for some reason you simply can't/won't bring Eldrad.

=====Special Unit=====
'''HQ'''
*'''Eldrad Ulthran''': Your premiere psyker and probably the reason you're running Ulthwé in the first place. He may as well be the Phoenix Lord of Farseers given his statline; T4, a 3++ invulnerable save topped off with his 6+++ courtesy of Ulthwé's attribute and a grand total of 3 psychic casts and denials per turn. His casting gets better after his first successful power goes off, adding 1 to all tests he makes for the rest of the phase due to his Spirt-Link ability. Between that and his innate Ghosthelm re-roll, failing to cast most of his powers would require some rather bad luck. Offensively, Eldrad comes equipped with his Staff of Ulthramar, a S+2 (S5) AP-2 Dd3 beatstick and an ever standard witch blade. However, with a grand total of two melee attacks, you should not commit your single best caster to combat unless absolutely necessary.
**He is considered a Farseer, so sticking a Warlock near him to use Seer Council isn't a bad idea given it will allow his first power to be cast on a +1, and the other two to be cast with a +2. Have that Warlock (Conclave) give up their weakened Smite to teach them Focus Will and have them put it on Eldrad before he starts casting his own powers. This gives him a +3 to his first cast and a staggering +4 to everything he attempts afterwards. A 1d6 Smite on 7+ and Executioner going off on a 3+ is going to leave a mark. It also means he is also eligible for Unparalleled Mastery (Gain an extra use of a power for 1CP), and Runes of Witnessing (Friendly {{W40Kkeyword|<Craftworld>}} units within 6" Re-Roll Wounds on 1 for 2CP).
</div>
</div>

===Custom Craftworld Attributes===
Like the Space Marines' Successor Tactics, the Eldar can now create their own Craftworld Attributes by combining any two of the following 22 attributes from the Phoenix Rising book to truly make a Craftworld of [[Your Dudes]]. The main detraction, obviously, is the lack of any new/unique relics/stratagems/characters inherent in any custom craftworld you make, but that can easily be circumnavigated by simply taking a secondary detachment of the classic craftworld you want to double-dip into.
*'''Children of Khaine''': When an {{W40kKeyword|Aspect Warrior}} model with this attribute rolls an unmodified 6 to wound with a melee weapon, their damage is increased by 1.
**This can be brutal for Howling Banshee/Striking Scorpion Exarchs using an Executioner/Scorpion Claw, and makes your aspects potentially more threatening towards MEQ/TEQ units, but is unreliable. Use stratagems like ''Supreme Disdain'' to help fish for extra hits to help create opportunities for this to proc.
*'''Children of Morei-heg''': When resolving an attack on a model in a unit with half or more of its models missing, get +1 to-hit.
**An ok attribute that can help a player really on the backfoot in a match, but this does nothing for single-model units such as characters, monsters or vehicles. Given the universal 3+ BS/WS everything in your army has, coupled with the plentiful buff/reroll powers and abilities you have access to, this perk just seems less useful than others listed here.
*'''Children of the Open Skies''': Any unit with the {{W40kKeyword|Fly}} keyword adds 2 to whatever their advance roll is for the phase.
**A good on paper, less useful in practice kind of power. Many of your units that fly are already super mobile, but it does guarantee that if they do need to advance, the lowest they can roll is effectively 3".
**''Never'' take this for a jetbike-heavy list - when you use Ride The Wind, you don't make an advance roll, so this Attribute will do nothing for you.
*'''Children of Prophecy''': Each single die roll of a 1 is counted as a 2 when making psychic tests.
**A fantastic ability for a psyker heavy army, this can potentially be the difference between a failed or passed psychic test for your lower WC powers. It absolutely ''does'' work when you would otherwise Perils - since 1s count as 2s, you actually rolled double 2s, and not only did you not Perils, if the power was WC4, you case it successfully. Even if something forces you to Perils despite this, if you live, and the power was WC4, you'll still cast it!
*'''Diviners of Fate''': Everything gets a 6++ invuln save.
**Kinda like a slightly worse Ulthwé, only with the benefit of having a secondary power. Obviously useless on everything that already has an invuln of 5+ or better.
*'''Expert Crafters''': Each ''unit'' can re-roll one hit and one wound roll whenever they make a ranged or melee attack.
**A nice power that has more value on high strength/damage weaponry with a low shot output, such as a D-Cannon Support Platform or a Fire Prism using its Lance profile. Even then, no one can turn away two free re-rolls per unit. Has a bigger impact the fewer shots the unit is making, as well as the weaker the shots, and the less accurate. By contrast, it has no interaction with AP or Damage, so you typically want those as high as you can get for this.
*'''Grim''': When a unit takes a morale test, you can re-roll the die.
**Basically ATSKNF, which is a terrible perk when you have craftworlds like Iyanden that effectively just make you immune to morale. Probably a hard pass in most cases, but in the event you plan on taking advantage of one of the other perks in this list and plan on maximizing squad sizes, it's a decent option, if sub-optimal.
*'''Hail of Doom''': When a model with this attribute uses a shuriken weapon to attack an opponent within 12", its AP is increased by 1 (e.g. AP0 becomes AP-1). Does not stack with any AP granted by weapon abilities (the 6+ AP-3 effect).
**Given the short range of most shuriken weapons, this will be active quite frequently. Pair either with ''Masterful Shots'' so that cover bonuses don't negate this attribute or ''Martial Citizenry'' if you were planning on fielding a lot of guardian infantry.
*'''Headstrong''': Add 1 to charge rolls.
**An ok power that stacks nicely with the ''Ghostwalk'' Rune of Fortune. It also reduces that deepstrike charge distance to a slightly more manageable 8", so there's that.
*'''Hunters of Ancient Relics''': All models within 3" of an objective add 1 to their attack characteristic.
**A very situational but arguably decent perk if you know you're going to be playing games full of tactical objectives. If the mission type has none, you're wasting a custom attribute slot. If you think this trait will give you 1 attack every time your unit fights near an objective, think again, it says MODELS withing 3", thus on average only half of your shining spear blob of 9 is going to benefit and even then there is so much counterplay to be had by the opponent... It is so much worse than +1A on the charge, there are better attributes, don't waste it on that one.
*'''Martial Citizenry''': {{W40kKeyword|Guardian}} models re-roll hit rolls of 1.
**Between Autarchs, Guide, Biel-Tan's attribute, and Ulthwé's unique stratagem, you're not exactly short of ways to buff guardian units with the same or similar ability while still offering standard buffs for non-guardian units. Still, if you're spamming guardians and support platforms, it is undeniably useful.
*'''Masterful Shots''': Targeted enemy units don't receive the benefit of cover.
**A decent if situational and underwhelming attribute that wrecks the Raven Guard chapter tactic and makes any non-LoS blocking terrain useless to your enemy. Dark Reapers in particular can make quite a bit out of this attribute.
*'''Masters of Concealment''': Your units gain the benefit of cover when targeted by ranged attacks from 12" or further away.
**Half of the Raven Guard chapter tactic. Slightly less useful on a majority of your infantry units comparatively, but it does make your vehicles and wraith units a touch tankier at range.
*'''Mobile Fighters''': Units that disembark from a transport re-roll hit rolls of 1.
**Fire Dragons and Wraithguard can become slightly more dangerous when rolling around in a Falcon/Wave Serpent (which you would/should likely be doing with them anyways). Also works in melee, if you'd rather go that route.
*'''Savage Blades''': When your models charge, are charged, or heroically intervene, re-roll melee hit rolls of 1.
**Yet another "re-roll 1s" perk, this one helps your melee units make the most out of their initial combat phases. Pairs nicely with ''Headstrong'' if you want a melee focused army.
*'''Strike and Fade''': Your units may either A) Fall back and charge in the same turn or B) move in any direction you wish when consolidating.
**A ''very'' strong attribute for melee armies, particularly Wraithblades/lords, Shining Spears, and to a lesser extent, Howling Banshees.
**This attribute cannot be paired with anything else on this list. As such, and since it really only benefits melee units, you'll likely want to use it for a dedicated secondary Vanguard or Outrider detachment using Howling Banshees/Wraithblades or Shining Spears so that you're not shorting your general/ranged units a usable attribute.
*'''Students of Vaul''': At the start of your turn, all {{W40kKeyword|Vehicles}} auto-heal 1 wound a turn.
**Necrons aren't the only ones with "Living Metal" anymore! A great defensive trait that reduces the need for Bonesingers to potentially take up valuable elite slots (though having one still wouldn't hurt in vehicle heavy lists).
**While a very nice trait, do consider that healing only one wound a turn will honestly have minimal effect when those tanks are facing dedicated anti-vehicle weaponry or massed firepower. Iyanden's attribute may be more attractive to you; though your vehicles won't heal on their own, anything with a degrading statline will retain peak combat effectiveness far longer than anything with this attribute would.
*'''Superior Shuriken''': Add 4" to the range of Shuriken weapons.
**Shuriken Catapults/Pistols achieve a range of 16", Avenger Shuriken Catapults 22", and Shuriken Cannons a range of 28". The addition of 4" is actually significant, as it allows even your basic Guardian Defenders to safely engage targets outside of most rapid fire and charge ranges. Unfortunately this trait has no direct compatibility with ''Hail of Doom'' due to its specific 12" range limit, but can still pair with it regardless if you want to maximize the potential of shuriken weaponry.
*'''Vengeful Blades''': When your models charge, are charged by, or heroically intervene into {{W40kKeyword|Chaos}} units, re-roll ''all'' melee hit rolls.
**Savage Blades, but conditionally better. Or worse, depending on if Chaos units are even present.
*'''Warding Runes''': All your models have a 5++ FNP against mortal wounds.
**Actually better for or against psykers than Ulthwé's perk. Recommended pairing with ''Children of Prophecy'' if you're planning on going heavy on the psykers.
*'''Webway Warriors''': You may use the '''Webway Strike''' stratagem once per detachment with this attribute you take.
**This can allow you to deepstrike a sickeningly high number of units, arguably more than any other army in the game if you build your list around it. Alternatively, two detachments with this attribute allow you to save command points when deepstriking multiple units this way. However, keep in mind that in Matched Play, you ''must'' have 50% of your army on the table when the game begins, discouraging the abuse of this attribute (and your rather abundant options for other deepstriking units). Not to mention that you won't really be able to offensively deepstrike these extra units until turn 2, a strategic gimp that could very easily come back to bite you. Also consider that this takes up an attribute slot that could be better used for something that actually benefits your units once they actually arrive on the table, like ''Hail of Doom'' or ''Martial Citizenry''.
**This pairs rather nicely with ''Headstrong'', as melee units like Wraithblades and Howling Banshees greatly appreciate any method that allows them to get into combat as quickly as possible once they drop in. A Warlock/Spiritseer can further support these units with ''Ghostwalk'' to borderline guarantee a successful charge out of a deepstrike.
*'''Wrath of the Dead''': {{W40kKeyword|Wraith Constructs}} with this attribute re-roll any wound rolls of 1.
**This works for all attacks, melee or ranged, so whether it's a volley of Wraithcannon fire or a couple swings from a Wraithlord's Ghostglaive, this is a solid supportive trait for those looking to build a Wraith host.

==Warlord Traits==

Named {{W40Kkeyword|Characters}} must take the Craftworld Trait associated with their {{W40Kkeyword|Craftworld}}. For example, if Eldrad is your Warlord, he must take Fate Reader. [[Fail|Phoenix Lords also cannot take a Warlord trait, so there is no longer a reason for having one of the Craftworld Eldar's legendary heroes and personifications of an aspect of Khaine, heroes that entire Craftworlds rally around in times of need, lead your army]]. Nope. Only [[Autarch|dorks with wing]]s and [[Farseer|people]] [[Spiritseer|with]] [[Warlock|mind bullets]] get to lead the army now.

===Universal===
#'''Ambush of Blades:''' Friendly {{W40Kkeyword|Craftworld}} units within 6" of your Warlord that roll a 6+ to hit in the Fight phase improve the AP of the attack by 1.
#*This is best applied to AP0 weapons, since AP0->AP1 is a better improvement than on something that already has penetration, and obviously useless on anything that doesn't roll to hit. This is probably more of a one-shot ability, because you don't want your Warlord to sit in a close combat for turn after turn. You will need to plan beforehand on how to pull the trick off: Combine this with a unit with many attacks, the Enhance psychic power for higher triggering chances, an Autarch for rerolls and the Supreme Disdain stratagem for even more attacks. In most cases, one single Wave Serpent won't be enough, therefore consider deepstriking parts of the units or putting them on Jetbikes. In short: An unusual and difficult to use warlord trait.
#''' An Eye on Distant Events:''' Overwatch cannot be fired at your Warlord.
#*Obviously best on a Warlord who actually wants to be in close combat, such as the Avatar of Khaine or a Wraithseer. In the past it was not worth taking this on an Autarch, because the free Banshee Mask wargear negated overwatch, but with that option retired to Warhammer Legends, this might be worth considering.
#'''Falcon's Swiftness:''' Add 2 to your Warlord's Movement.
#*Better used on slow footslogging warlords, if Faolchu's Wings are not available. The Avatar is the hottest candidate for this trait and will appreciate the speedup very much, although the Eye on Distant Events is a very stiff competition for him. Pretty pointless on any warlord on a Jetbike.
#'''Fate's Messenger:''' Your warlord has +1W and 6+++ FNP (remember not to take this on an Ulthwé warlord).
#*Flat out better than the core rulebook version thanks to the +1 Wound. This is a very good warlord trait in a codex full of them, which is a bit of a shame when you consider it. Very useful for Farseers or Autarchs on a Jetbike who will be upfront, best combined with the Phoenix Gem – '''7''' wounds, T4, a 6+++ FNP, and when it's slain it explodes like a vehicle and ''doesn't even die''. Who said Eldar had to be squishy? This is also possibility to increase the resilience of a Warlock or Spiritseer against Perils wounds, if you don't find anything more useful.
#'''Mark of the Incomparable Hunter:''' Your warlord can snipe {{W40Kkeyword|characters}}.
#*Entertainingly powerful on a Wraithseer with a D-cannon. Outside of Forgeworld (still a viable, if expensive option) or an Autarch with Reaper Launcher (now a Legends unit and illegal in official tournament play), it is impractical at best. Every other HQ unit is limited to a paltry 12" for their ranged weapons at best, making it simply more practical to attempt to engage in melee with the target character at that point.
#'''Seer of the Shifting Vector:''' Once per round, you can re-roll one hit, wound, save, psychic, or deny the witch roll for your Warlord.
#*This is another trait recommended for an upfront Farseer or Autarch on Jetbike, because they will get the most chances of actually using this ability. A rerolled save can make the difference between a dead and a living warlord in the end! That said, this trait can also be used to improve the casting of Warlocks or Spiritseers.

===Specialist Detachment Specific===
These are ''very'' specific traits which can be taken by applicable Warlords within their Specialist Detachments. While they can be quite potent, they do only apply towards units with the respective Specialist Detachment keyword, meaning you'd have to very specifically design your army around these traits to take full advantage of them. If you can spare 1 CP and still want a regular trait for your warlord, you may use the ''Field Commander'' stratagem to give one of your HQ units within a Specialist Detachment the respective trait associated with it.
*'''Windrider Host - Wind Rider:''' This trait allows any {{W40Kkeyword|WINDRIDER HOST}} units within 6" of your Warlord/Field Commander to charge even after falling back earlier that turn. While this sounds good in practice, the utility pales somewhat when your standard units are [[Jetbike|Windriders]] (who probably shouldn't be in melee) and Vypers (who ''also'' shouldn't be in melee). That said, the ones who really benefit are your HQ choices themselves. A Warlock Conclave armed with Singing Spears can be particularly frightening to enemies relying on their Toughness to tank hits, while an [[Autarch|Autarch Skyrunner]] can be shockingly lethal if armed with a Novalance for [[Rape|MAXIMUM PAIN]], and will be a bitch to get away from. Alternatively, this opens up some tactical options for applying pressure on key enemy units, though keep in mind; this can make your Warlord considerably more vulnerable since he'd have to be participating in the charge-retreat-charge shenanigans as well.
**The '''Strike and Fade''' custom Craftworld Attribute completely invalidates this trait, as it applies to your entire army at all times. Given the unit restrictions and heavy CP cost specialist detachments tend to incur, you may want to just take a supplementary Strike and Fade detachment if you just want to abuse this mechanic.

*'''Wraith Host - Revered by the Dead:''' Built primarily for your fighty Wraith units, this allows any {{W40Kkeyword|WRAITH HOST WRAITH CONSTRUCTS}} within 6" to reroll failed charge rolls. This is very redundant for Saim-Hann, given their attribute simply applies to all your units regardless. Instead, this can be particularly handy for Iyanden Wraith armies, with a Spiritseer for cost efficiency and RoB support, or a Wraithseer as a durable, hard-hitting buff vector for his Wraith body guards (plus it gets the re-rolls too!). Going with this trait means you're going heavy with [[Wraithblades]], physically inclined [[Wraithlords]] and [[Wraithseer|Wraithseers]], or planning to have your [[Wraithknight]] up in the thick of it. If you prefer to keep your enemies at a modest distance, it may be better to stick with a vanilla trait instead.

==Tactical Objectives==
It is not possible to be prepared for an explicit tactical objective. For most cases, achievement is purely situational. However, in some cases there are some tricks to make achieving them easier.

;11 - Legacy of Sorrow
:1VP if you kill an enemy character.
;12 - Master of Runes
:Cast 1/3 Eldar psychic powers for 1/d3 VP.
;13 - Khaine's Wrath
:1/3 successful charges give 1/d3 VP. Because only charges and no kills matter, you may throw in everything you have at hand, e.g. Wave Serpents and other grav-tanks who can survive melee for a turn.
;14 - The Hidden Path
:1VP if there are no enemies within 12" of objective marker d6.
;15 - Strands of Fate
:1VP if you control objective marker d6. If your warlord is a psyker, you may modify by ±1. With a psyker Warlord you can hedge your bets, who will guarantee this is always marker 2 or 5.
;16 - Combined Strike
:1/d3/3+d3 VP if an enemy unit is destroyed in 1/2/3 phases (out of psychic, shooting, fight). If there is somewhere a lonely 1-man unit, you may consider casting Smite instead of Eldar trickery in order to get the psychic kill. As per shooting and fight phase kills: Remember that you have to kill the entire unit off - letting morale do the work for you won't count.

==Stratagems==
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
===Universal===
Standard strategems that can be used by any and all Craftworlds, though Ynnari detachments are now exempt from using these.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''The Avatar Resurgent (3 CP)''': If the Avatar of Khaine is slain in the Fight Phase, do not remove it as a casualty. Instead, roll a d6 after the unit that killed it has resolved all its attacks; the Avatar then comes back to life with that many wounds remaining. Needless to say, this ''greatly'' increases the danger an Avatar poses in close combat.
*'''Celestial Shield (1CP)''': During the enemy shooting phase, if a friendly {{W40Kkeyword|Guardian}} unit is chosen as a target of an attack, it will have a 4+ invulnerable save for the rest of that shooting phase. Stack with Fortune and Protect to become freakishly hard to budge. Use Ulthwe and an Autarch, and the enemy will either try hard to kill them (and make this stratagem earn its cost) or not try hard enough (and get completely shredded by 2+ rerolling Black Guardians).
*'''Cloud Strike (1 CP):''' As Webway Strike below, but with an Eldar Vehicle that can Fly instead & only one unit. NOTE: You cannot use both Cloud Strike and Webway Strike in the same game, you have to choose one or the other. [[Creed |Absolutely hilarious for Deep Striking in a bunch of Hemlocks right where you need them]]. Only works once though.
**Remember that you drop down during the Movement Phase so the vehicle has to sit still for a turn. using this for transports is a bad idea. Not bad for protecting Fire Prisms, Crimson Hunters or Super-Heavies from a round of shooting against [[Militarum_Tempestus |certain Alpha-Strike]] lists.
*'''Concordance of Power (1 CP):''' Use this stratagem whenever a Warlock Conclave successfully casts a Runes of Battle psychic power. The range of the power is doubled.
**36" range on your Runes of battle powers is extremely useful as it keeps your out of deny range while still able to to support units on your opponents side of the table. It can't be stated how useful a 36" Range Jinx and Restrain can be, especially with Primarchs or Flyrants on the table.
*'''Feigned Retreat (2 CP)''': Pick an {{W40Kkeyword|Asuryani}} unit that has fallen back this turn; it can now shoot and charge despite having fallen back. Not ''as'' useful on Swooping Hawks or your tanks, since they could already shoot after falling back (due to the {{W40Kkeyword|FLY}} keyword), but everyone else benefits from it, given the short range of most of your guns.
**Incredible for your Shining Spears as they benefit greatly from being able to fall back while abusing {{W40Kkeyword|FLY}}, shoot and charge again.
*'''Fire and Fade (1 CP)''': After a friendly Asuryani unit shoots, it can move 7" as if it was the movement phase; however, it may not advance as part of this extra move and will be unable to charge that turn. Still a small price to pay for getting move-shoot-move back. It gives a great mobility boost as well as Advance-Shoot-Move is possible. Finally it can be a nice option to get a unit back into cover after it has finished off a unit in the shooting phase.
**[[Troll|FAQ confirms that Swooping Hawks can still drop grenades on any unit it flies over with this.]]. The same FAQ also notes that if it is used on a Crimson Hunter or a Hemlock they will be removed as casualty.
*'''Forewarned (2 CP):''' Used whenever an enemy unit arrives from the battlefield within eyesight of a friendly unit that is within 6" of a friendly farseer. That friendly unit may make an out-of-sequence shooting attack. Unlike other similar stratagems, this one doesn't force a -1 to-hit penalty, and can be outside of 12"! You DO have to bubble-wrap/conga line next to a Farseer for this to really pay off. This is actually really broken. Your opponent's gotta be REALLY careful not to get his deep striking unit shot to shit from Dark Reapers who could see them, or even humble guardians taking down a Lictor before it could do shit to them.
**A note on Drop Pods: The RAW specifically states you target the unit that arrives, in this case the Drop Pod itself, and not whatever comes charging out.
*'''The Great Enemy (1 CP):''' Used whenever a friendly Asuryani unit is chosen to fight. Re-roll all failed to-wound rolls against a unit with the {{W40kKeyword|Slaanesh}} keyword. Make Ancient Doom work in your favor, and fuck Slaanesh Daemons and Emperor's Children.
*'''Lightning Fast Reactions (2 CP):''' Used when a friendly {{W40kKeyword|<CRAFTWORLD>}} Infantry unit or a friendly {{W40kKeyword|<ASURYANI>}} unit that has {{W40kKeyword|<FLY>}} keyword is targeted by a ranged or melee weapon. All attacks against that unit are resolved at -1 to hit for the rest of the phase. One fun but costly idea is to combine this with the Celestial Shield Stratagem on Guardians to ''really'' infuriate your opponent. Bonus points for doing it with Alaitoc in the shooting phase to stack it with the Craftworld Attribute, though you will probably lose friends for it.
*'''Linked Fire (1 CP)''': When a target is selected for a Fire Prism's Prism Cannon, do not resolve the hit until the end of the phase. Any {{W40Kkeyword|<Craftworld> Fire Prism}} within 60" of the first one that is visible to it may link fire, targeting the first Fire Prism's target with its Prism Cannon and re-rolling failed hit and wound rolls when doing so, as well as ignoring range and visibility. Once all other shooting is completed, the first Fire Prism may resolve its shots against the target selected. If at least one other Fire Prism linked fire with it, it gets to re-roll its hit and wound rolls as well.
**Combined with Pulse Laser Discharge, this stratagem can wreak absolute havoc on almost everything in the game. Having Fire Prisms shooting S12 AP-5 lances twice each irrespective of line of sight or range re-rolling hits ''and'' wounds can absolutely devastate any vehicle from Rhinos to Imperial Knights. Conversely, rapid Dispersed Blasts can all but evaporate any individual blob you want off the board with a barrage of D6 S6 shots (assuming you have only two Fire Prisms fielded, that's still 4D6 shots, assuming they haven't moved much).
**Hilariously you can also use '''Linked Fire''' to nuke your opponent's special snowflake character, as long as the character is the closest model to the first Fire Prism the others can also target it. Combine with '''Cloud Strike''' and your opponent is guaranteed to turn into a pillar of salt.
*'''Matchless Agility (1 CP):''' Used whenever a friendly unit advances. Instead of rolling a die, you automatically advance 6" with the unit. Makes Footdar lists hilariously broken outside of Matched Play. Still damn useful in Matched Play as well.
*'''Overload Energy Field Projectors (1 CP):''' During the shooting phase, pick a Wave Serpent that discharged its shield on an earlier turn. It can now discharge the shield a second time. Because apparently the Wave Serpent really needed the extra boost.
*'''Phantasm (2 CP):''' Used at the beginning of the game but before the first player turn has begun. You may immediately remove up to 3 friendly units and re-deploy them. Nice if you deployed first for a quick counter-deployment strategy in case you fucked up your unit placement. Considering how a properly positioned Eldar unit is critical, this can be a good backup plan. Alternatively, if you have the CP to spare, you can attempt to influence or bait your opponent's deployment by setting up a few key units (like a Fire Prism, Wraithlord/seer or Wave Serpent) in a position that ''heavily'' encourages him/her to focus on either setting up in a manner to exclusively ''avoid'' or ''target'' those units. Once the deployment is finished, you can [[Just as planned | place that Fire Prism he could've sworn was just sitting out in the open way down field of those devastators he sent after it with a clear flanking shot on them]].
**Do note that using this tactic offensively will likely only work once or twice against most people, and even then you shouldn't base your core strategy around it. Try to save it for tournaments or games against irregular opponents and if you're confident you can afford the CP or potential risk to your important units.
*'''Runes of Witnessing (2 CP):''' Used at the start of any phase. Pick a friendly Farseer. All {{W40kKeyword|<CRAFTWORLD>}} units within 6" of the Farseer re-roll 1s to wound. Given you want that [[Eldrad| dick]] up front spamming Smite and Executioner, this is awesome for supporting the unit he's with. Also pretty nice on that Farseer in the Dark Reaper blob that they just guided.
*'''Seer Council (1 CP):''' In the Psychic Phase, if a Farseer is within 6" of a friendly Warlock unit, both the Farseer and the Warlocks gain +1 to psychic tests. Use it on that [[Eldrad | dick]] with '''Unparalleled Mastery''' to cast 3 powers with +2 to cast and one extra with +1 to cast. This strategem combined with Runes of Farseer should give you up to ~95% success rate on powers you really need also making them much much harder to deny.
*'''Starhawk Missile (1 CP):''' When an Infantry unit model shoots an Aeldari missile launcher at a unit with Fly, make a single hit roll with +1 to hit. If you hit, do D3 mortal wounds instead of rolling to wound. Awesome for putting some Mortal Wounds onto [[Chapter_Master_Slamguinius|Slamguinius]], or evaporating 1-3 Vanguard Veterans on a 2+. Guardians and Dark Reapers are viable as they can carry the AML, but keep in mind that the +1 to hit will not apply to the Dark Reapers.
*'''Supreme Disdain (1 CP):''' Used whenever a friendly unit is chosen to fight in the fight phase. The unit gains exploding attacks on 6+ that do not proc themselves. This does stack with Striking Scorpion Exarchs or Scorpions buffed by Karandras, and can definitely make that unit of Banshees or Wraith Blades even more horrifying. Also fun on a Firesabre Autarch or Diresword Exarch to try and fish for more Mortal Wounds. Even more fun, if you stack it with Enhance or/and Striking Scorpions' Shadow Strike. Try this on a unit of 10 wraithblades with Enhance affected by Psytronome of Iyaden and Ambush of Blades WT for undiluted devastation. Even regular Wraithguard are no slouch in close combat and every exploding attack hurts all the more.
*'''Tears of Isha (2 CP):''' Used at the start of your turn. Select a Wraith Construct model, and it regains 1d3 wounds lost earlier. Your Wraithlords will appreciate this as they walk up the battlefield with a degrading stat line and no form of invulnerable save. Note that for 70 points, you can field a Bonesinger to do the same job, but that has its own downsides, like the need for the Bonesinger to keep up with what it's healing.
*'''Treasures of the Craftworld (1/3 CP):''' Take extra relics, Eldar style. Pay 1 CP for an extra Remnant of Glory in your army, or pay 3 for two extra Remnants of Glory in your army.
*'''Unparalleled Mastery (1 CP):''' Used whenever an {{W40kKeyword|ASURYANI FARSEER}} successfully casts their last allowed power in the Psychic phase. They can attempt to cast one additional power. Oh hell yes. Slap this on Eldrad and one-up those Tzeentch Chaos Sorcerers.
*'''Vaul's Might (1 CP):''' If a Support Weapon is within 6" of another Support Weapon, they can both reroll 1's to wound. Pretty useless given the low volume of fire: Two D-cannons will give 3 hits on average and therefore 0.5 1's on wounding. I.e. every second time this stratagem will be completely wasted. Use Doom or the standard CP reroll instead.
**If you're fielding three or more Shadow Weaver Support Weapons, this stratagem is worth considering. Due to how cheap they are, they are great for filling up detachment slots and this will help make the most of their shots should the need arise. Definitely consider this as an ''option'' though, not a core part of your strategy.
*'''Webway Strike (1/3 CP):''' This lets you deep strike a single {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}}or {{W40kKeyword|Biker}}unit of your choice! Pay for the 3 CP instead to deep strike a second unit. NOTE: You cannot use both Cloud Strike and Webway strike in the same game, you have to choose one or the other. Aside from the obvious Fire Dragons or D-Cannon Wraithguard just about every eligible unit can benefit from being able to be placed where you want, when you want.
**Remember that Guardian Platforms are Infantry and Vypers are Bikers. Ulthwe and Saim-Hann respectively can use this to dump a Guardian Squad with Heavy Weapons or Vypers full of Heavy weapons right behind something important then fire without penalty (Discipline of the Black Guardians Strat and Saim-Hann Craftworld trait respectively)
**Special note on guardians, although they can use this to deep strike into shuriken catapult range, just bear this will also put you're brittle unbuffed guardians at risk of auspex scan and other stratagems.

'''Aspect Warrior Stratagems'''
Each of these nine stratagems are dedicated to one of the nine standard Aspect Warrior Shrines. Each can only be used once per battle and only on a single squad of their respective aspect, so choose and invest wisely. Functionally, each of these are the same; the aspect warrior Exarch in the chosen squad may keep their original Exarch power and take one of the six other powers in addition to it as opposed to replacing it with one.
*'''Exemplar of the Avenger Shrine (1 CP):''' A Dire Avenger Exarch gets to keep their ''Battle Fortune'' ability and take another power.
*'''Exemplar of the Banshee Shrine (1 CP):''' A Howling Banshee Exarch keeps their ''War Shout'' ability in addition to another power.
*'''Exemplar of the Dragon Shrine (1 CP):''' A Fire Dragon Exarch gets to keep their ''Crack Shot'' ability in addition to a single other power.
*'''Exemplar of the Hawk Shrine (1 CP):''' A Swooping Hawk Exarch keeps their ''Herald of Victory'' ability in addition to a single other power.
*'''Exemplar of the Hunter Shrine (1 CP):''' A Crimson Hunter Exarch keeps their ''Marksman's Eye'' ability in addition to a single other power.
*'''Exemplar of the Reaper Shrine (1 CP):''' A Dark Reaper Exarch retains ''Crack Shot'' as well as one of their other powers.
*'''Exemplar of the Scorpion Shrine (1 CP):''' A Striking Scorpion Exarch keeps their ''Sustained Attack'' ability in addition to one of their other powers.
*'''Exemplar of the Spear Shrine (1 CP):''' A Shining Spear Exarch retains ''Expert Hunter'' as well as one of their other powers.
*'''Exemplar of the Spider Shrine (1 CP):''' A Warp Spider Exarch gets to keep ''Iron Resolve'' in addition to another power.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

===Specialist Detachment Stratagems===
Introduced in the new Vigilus Defiant Campaign, These can be used to grant access to new traits, relics and/or Stratagems to applicable units within any Battle-Forged detachment by adding additional keywords to said units. It should be noted that you may not select any detachments with {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari}} units, unfortunately.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''General Stratagems''': Stratagems that aren't gated behind specific Specialist Detachments, but can still be used to augment them.
**'''Field Commander (1 CP)''': This stratagem bears special mention. For one command point, you can designate a character with a Specialist Detachment keyword and they gain the warlord trait associated with that detachment. Can't be used on named characters or to give your warlord a second warlord trait. Usefulness may vary, though if you have the CP to spare and do have a significant unit investment in your Specialist Detachment, this can definitely help maximize your unit synergy.

*'''Windrider Host (1CP)''': For the folks who like to go fast, this lets you add the {{W40Kkeyword|WINDRIDER HOST}} Keyword to any {{W40Kkeyword|Vypers}}, {{W40Kkeyword|Windriders}} and any {{W40Kkeyword|AUTARCH/FARSEER/WARLOCK SKYRUNNERS}} (as well as the Warlock Skyrunner Conclaves) within your Detachment. This sort of detachment screams for {{W40Kkeyword|SAIM-HANN}}, though it is a shame that Shining Spears aren't invited to the party.
**'''Nimble Escape (2CP)''': Use in the fight phase after a wind rider host unit has fought. That unit can move and advance as if it were the movement phase. If the are any enemy units within 1", you can fall back... yes, that means you can charge in, fight, then fall back out of combat before your opponent had a chance to swing. DAMN.
**'''Tempest of Blades (3 CP):''' Used in the shooting phase, this lets you improve the AP of all shooting attacks made by {{W40Kkeyword|WINDRIDER HOST}} units within 6" of a Farseer Skyrunner by -1 for the rest of the phase. While this is certainly useful, (especially if you're running lots of Scatter Lasers), it's also ''very'' expensive (If you ran just a Battalion, you just burned half your total CP to do this once) and can end up being somewhat redundant on weapons that have decent rending already.

*'''Wraith Host (1CP)''': This stratagem transforms the chosen Asuryani detachment into a Wraith Host Specialist Detachment, granting the {{W40Kkeyword|WRAITH HOST}} keyword to {{W40Kkeyword|SPIRITSEERS}} and any {{W40Kkeyword|WRAITH CONSTRUCTS}}. Most of the perks associated with this specialization are very melee-focused, so while Wraithguard and (oddly) Hemlock Wraithfighters ''can'' benefit, it may be best to shelve them in exchange for the bladed variants or their larger kin. Suffice to say, this specialist detachment works best under {{W40Kkeyword|Iyanden}}, particularly if you're fielding Wraithlords/seers/knights.
**'''Wrath of the Dead(1CP)''': Used at the beginning of the Fight Phase, this grants one additional attack to each model in a {{W40Kkeyword|WRAITH HOST WRAITH CONSTRUCT}} unit of your choosing. This of course, stacks quite wonderfully with many of your other fight-based stratagems (Supreme Disdain comes to mind) as well as several of your Runes of Battle/Fate. Spice with the Psytronome of Iyanden if you want to guarantee the death of whatever you're trying to punch.
**'''Spirit Shield (2 CP):''' Used at the end of your Movement Phase, this lets a Spiritseer throw its 4+ invulnerable save to a {{W40Kkeyword|WRAITH HOST WRAITH CONSTRUCT}} unit within 6" until your next turn. Ghost Sword Wraithblades or Wraithguard with Shimmershields? Season with Protect and Fortune if you wish for T6 3 wound models with 2+/3++ saves and 5++ FNPs. Not to mention Bonesinger/Stratagem healing support, and you have one of the tankiest infantry units in the game. Additionally, with some thoughtful positioning, you ''can'' throw this on a Hemlock Wraithfighter or a Wraithknight for some additional protection if you're expecting them to get focused down. Just make sure the Spiritseer who is sacrificing his invuln is out of LoS and is hanging back for the rest of your turn.
</div>
</div>

==Psychic Powers==
The Eldar have always been psychic power-houses in their many iterations throughout 40k's history, 8th edition sees the return of reliable psychic tests, as well as more reliable ways to stop psykers. Looking at matched play rules we can see that almost every single army can cast only 6 powers other than Smite per turn (Thousand Son's daemon princes have access to 18 also.) and moreover only from their specific discipline, while Eldar can cast 24 different powers (different variations of warlocks powers are being considered separate powers)! And almost all of them may find some big use. Additionally, all but one of our powers don't need a line of sight against their targets, feel free to hide your psykers as needed.

===Runes of Fate===
These are only available to Farseers, and Farseers are only capable of these powers and Smite, so without exception, a psyker choosing from this Discipline only knows WC5 and WC7 powers; aside from Eldrad or Warlord Traits/Relics, the caster's casting ability is simply 2 powers, and once per phase, can re-roll either or both dice when casting. This means the most reliable way to ensure your Fate powers go off is redundancy; for example, the most common power combo you're going to want on hand is either Doom/Fortune/Will of Asuryan (for D-Scythe Wraithguard) or Doom/Guide/Fortune (for almost everything else, especially Fire Dragons) - sort your powers by how much you want them to go off. Take a Farseer with the first two powers, and a Farseer with the second two - for this example, we'll use the latter. The first Farseer should cast Doom; if they need to use the re-roll for it, they should do so, and then cast Smite, and the second Farseer will ensure Guide goes off without a hitch. If they don't use their re-roll, they can cast Guide themselves with the re-roll available, and the second Farseer can ensure Fortune happens, then cast Smite (with a possible re-roll available for reliability or going for 11+). Done this way, the odds of the two powers you really care about going off will always happen with 84.95% probability each, meaning the odds of both happening are 72.17%; if you trust one Farseer to do both, your odds of pulling off both are only 65.08%. This math was done with WC7 powers, of course - you don't need the re-roll nearly as much for Will of Asuryan or Smite, and they'll go off with 97.22% probability if you have the power available.

#'''Guide:''' WC 7. Targets a single friendly {{W40Kkeyword|asuryani}} unit within 24". Re-roll all failed to-hit rolls for the unit's ranged weapons until the next psychic phase. Works better the less accurate and more populous the unit is, of course - you won't see much bang for your buck if you have the Farseer cast this on themselves.
#*RAW it affects ranged weapons. RAI it also affects the lances on Shining Spears and the spears on Warlock Conclaves even in melee, as the points cost for both of those weapons falls under the "ranged weapons" section at the back of the codex, in much the same way as a Deathwatch Watch Master and the relic bolter shells boosting the damage of his melee attacks.
#'''Doom:''' WC 7. Targets a single enemy unit within 24". Re-roll all failed to-wound rolls from {{W40Kkeyword|asuryani}} unit attacks against the targeted enemy unit until the next psychic phase. Works better the harder the target is to wound, of course.
#*Bear in mind that your opponent will typically be particularly wary of Doom, so try to keep the Farseer casting it out of denial range. If you expect your opponent to attempt to deny the witch, have a supporting warlock (conclave) cast ''Focus Will'' on your Farseer for a touch of insurance.
#'''Fortune:''' WC 7. A single friendly {{W40Kkeyword|asuryani}} unit within 24" gets a 5++ FNP. Until GW decides to clear up the [http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2017/07/40k-suffer-not-wound-take.html wording mess of ignoring wounds], the generally accepted procedure is to use Fortune whenever the unit loses a wound, i.e. against all type of damage.
#'''Executioner:''' WC 7. The nearest enemy unit within 18" suffers 1d3 mortal wounds, and if a model in the unit is slain, it suffers an additional 1d3 mortal wounds. A real rarity among psychic powers, this actually has the potential to outperform Smite, provided you target it intentionally - Smite is strictly better against one big target, but this will outperform Smite against any unit with a single-wound model in it (either natively, or because you've already damaged it).
#'''Will of Asuryan:''' WC 5. Friendly {{W40Kkeyword|asuryani}} units within 6" of the psyker automatically pass morale, and the psyker adds +1 to Deny the Witch rolls.
#*'''Alternate Take:''' at WC 5, this is awesome filler for Eldrad to give him something to trigger his +1 to cast with; plus as the best Smite and Executioner user we have, he's usually going to be close enough to something that can use that Fearless bubble. it's also useful filler for a Guide spam Farseer if you pull Master the Warp and/or Master of Runes.
# '''Mind War:''' WC 7. Targets a single enemy {{W40Kkeyword|Character}} model within 18" of the psyker. Both players roll 1d6 and add their model's leadership characteristic to the result. If the target rolls higher or draws, nothing happens. If you roll higher than the target, they suffer a number of mortal wounds equal to the difference in score. Remember that you can use a Command Point to re-roll your d6 (and your Autarch may get it back for you).
#*Leadership bombs are viable ways of assassinating a character now, which is awesome. Have a Hemlock cast Horrify or a Warlock casting Embolden on the Farseer and maybe bring along The Visarch or some Kabalite Warriors with Grenade Launchers and use it to snipe those Commissars, Ancients and Painboys.
#*As long as it has the {{W40Kkeyword|Character}} tag it's fair game. You know who has that tag that people forget? Pask. Pask has that tag! Make sure you check your opponent's Datasheets before casting as this Power can hit more things than you realise.
#*Not to mention that the Swarmlord, Old One Eye, the Avatar of Khaine and many other immense monstrosities are listed as {{W40Kkeyword|Character}} ! If you have problems with two Flyrants, or a pesky Bloodthirster that just won't turn down for what, just submerge them in mortal wounds thanks to this trick. A good enough disparity (if well balanced with a proper casting of Embolden on your Farseer and Horrify on enemy monstrosities- always follow the ritual Embolden First; Horrify Second; Mind War Third, as this avoids your Mind War getting denied) can bring monstruous creatures down in one turn- just sit back, enjoy your superiority in the psychic phase, and watch the enemy behemoths cry salty tears as you proceed Jean Greying their arses.
*'''Strategic Note:''' Guide, Doom and Fortune have 24" range, so with a Farseer's 8-13" movement this is more than enough to sustain any force on an average table nowadays. All this means there's '''no clear need''' for jetbiking seers anymore. On the other hand, that's still only a basic gun's range and above average movement, so while you won't usually ''need'' the jetbike, it is still pretty damn useful, mostly since it can let you reposition and adjust to changes on the battlefield.

===Runes of Battle===
Warlocks and Spiritseers always know one pair of powers, but these count as individual powers for all casting purposes, meaning the psyker in question can choose which to cast, and doesn't block another from casting the "twinned" power. All powers have a range of 18", are active for one full round, can buff only {{W40Kkeyword|Asuryani Infantry}} and {{W40Kkeyword|Asuryani Biker}}, and debuff everything. In every Serpent there will be enough room for one or two psykers to support the unit, you just have to decide which power to take!

#'''Conceal/Reveal:''' WC 6. The enemy must subtract 1 from ranged to-hit rolls against the buffed unit. The debuffed unit loses any bonuses from cover when attacked by {{W40Kkeyword|Asuryani}} units.
#* Conceal stacks perfectly well with any other source of penalties to hit, such as Rangers in cover or anything from Alaitoc.
#* Conceal is usually better than Protect, but Reveal is almost ''always'' worse than Jinx - take Jinx first if you're a Hemlock.
#** Reveal only comes into its own to remove cover from enemy sniper scout squads and make them fall back to their baseline 4+ save for easy targeting and disposal, or as an addition to Jinx.
#'''Embolden/Horrify:''' WC 6. Buffed unit gets +2 to its Leadership, debuffed -1.
#*Although this power can have a niche if a Farseer with Mind War is Emboldened, it is still ''terrible'', and basically anything else in this discipline will serve you better. Embolden is also rendered effectively useless in Iyanden lists, given the borderline morale immunity the attribute confers.
#* Although not altogether an ideal use of its one power per turn, Hemlocks can use Horrify to help build a leadership bomb. Can make quite a nasty one at that too, in mixed Aeldari comps using Phantasm Grenades and the Visarch.
#'''Enhance/Drain:''' WC 7. Target friendly unit gets +1 to hit in close combat or target enemy unit gets -1. Because it is so similar to Empower/Enervate, look there for comparison.
#* Most melee units won't need the Enhance portion of the power, since they hit on a reliable 3+, but special mention goes to Ghost Axe Wraithblades, who'll probably be escorting a Spiritseer anyways for the re-roll support they'll desperately need.
#* With Drain you get -2 to incoming melee attacks on your Howling Banshees. Forcing TH/SS Termies to hit on a 6+ at best is one of our best "soft" counters to them, now not even Rawboat gonna save'em from such disgrace. Add Lightning Fast Reactions for undiluted [[RAGE]].
#'''Protect/Jinx:''' WC 7. Target allied unit gets +1 to all saving throws or target enemy unit gets -1 (including invulnerable saves) from {{W40Kkeyword|Asuryani}} unit attacks.
#* It is strongly recommended to buff a unit with an invuln, so that your buff won't be negated by high AP weapons. Strong contenders are Wraithblades with Shields, Shining Spears, everything inside Asurmen's bubble, Guardians with Celestial Shield, or a Character heading into close combat.
#* On the opposite, there are two potential targets for the debuff: again a unit with some nasty invuln, or a target that you want to drown in saves (with Dire Avengers, Warp Spiders, Guardians, etc.)
#'''Quicken/Restrain:''' WC 7. A friendly unit moves (and may advance) a second time (but not if it came in by deep strike this turn); an enemy unit halves its move range.
#* A very versatile power that lets you react to [[Farseer|unfarseen]] threats immediately or pull off unpredictable flanking maneuvers, it is best used on a Warlock on Jetbike who can deliver this power anywhere you want.
#* With the right positioning, Shining Spears can get a turn 1 charge with this power, especially with the PHANTASM strat.
#* If you want to field a max unit of Wraithblades and don't want to pay obscene prices for a Vampire Raider to carry them, this will let them reach their targets much faster than you and your opponent might expect!
#* Howling Banshees can also become terrifyingly fast if quickened, getting an effective threat range of 23-43". You might very well catch a careless opponent off guard!
#'''Empower/Enervate:''' WC 6. Target friendly unit gets +1 to wound or target enemy unit gets -1 to wound in melee.
#* When deciding between this and Enhance/Drain: Always buff/debuff the part that has the lower probability for bigger effect (basic probability calculus). As an example, your Banshees will typically hit on 3+ and wound on 5+, hence they will benefit more from Empower than from Enhance. On the opposite, enemies with hammers, fists and other badly hitting weapons will suffer more from Drain than from Enervate. If both chances are equal, take Empower for the lower warpcharge.
#* Enervating the target of your wraith constructs also lets you relive the glorious days when S4 couldn't hurt your Wraithlords/Wraithknights. Small thing, but still nice.
====Specialist Detachment====
#'''Twilight of Gloom:''' WC 6 {{W40Kkeyword|WRAITH HOST WRAITH PSYKER}} exclusive power. Gives a friendly {{W40Kkeyword|WRAITH HOST WRAITH}} unit within 18" the benefit of cover. Potentially useful if you are fighting a lot of low AP weaponry. This power can be particularly handy for Wraithlords/seers, Hemlock Wraithfighters, and Wraithknights, due to the difficulty for such large models to attain cover naturally.

===Runes of Fortune===
A newly announced psychic discipline which made its debut in Phoenix Rising. Replaces Smite, so is usable by virtually every psyker in your army (bar the Wraithseer, who [[Fail|doesn't have any form of smite at all]]). This may be more useful to units like your Warlocks, whose smites are virtually useless due to their reduced range and damage, though it only makes it more difficult deciding which of their 3 powers is worth their 1 cast per turn.
#'''Ghostwalk''': WC 6. A friendly unit within 6" gains +2 to their charge rolls until the next psychic phase.
#*This can make a significant difference for deep striking units like Striking Scorpions or Wraithblades, who'd only have to make a much more likely 6-7" charge instead of an 8" one.
#*Special mention goes to Biel-Tan Aspect Warrior units and Howling Banshees. Biel-Tan's Court of the Young King stratagem adds 2" to charge rolls (+3" next to the Avatar who also lets you re-roll failed charges), and Banshees add 3" to their charges whenever they advance. Either give one Howling Banshee unit a long-bomb charge, or spread the love and have multiple units charge out of deepstrike.
#'''Fateful Divergence''': WC 4. Select one {{WH40Kkeyword|Craftworld}} unit within 6". They can re-roll a single hit roll, wound roll, or save roll. Lasts until your next psychic phase.
#*A niche power that ''can'' be used in lieu of the CP reroll if you're worried about a particular unit, but arguably inferior to similar powers such as Guide/Doom and Fortune (ironically).
#*Worth considering for units like Shining Spears, whose Exarch can have a 2++ invuln save with the right combo of psychic and exarch powers.
#'''Witch Strike''': WC 4. Add 2 damage to a friendly psyker's melee weapons.
#*Potentially useful, if highly situational, on Skyrunner Warlock/Farseer units. A notable example: a {{W40Kkeyword|Windrider Host}} Farseer Skyrunner carrying the ''Howling Skysword of Galaleth'' will do a flat 5 damage per swing using this power (which can very consistently be cast thanks to its paltry WC value), instantly killing most characters who fail a single save. Outside that particular example, it's a bit too situational to use.
#*Pairs nicely with Jinx, which can help make up for your Seers' complete lack of AP in melee.
#*While a Warlock Conclave is a viable target, only one model within will actually benefit from it.
#'''Crushing Orb''': WC6. Select one visible enemy character within 18" and roll 3d6; for each result of 5+, the target takes a mortal wound.
#*Arguably worse than just using Mind War, since you can get far more mortal wounds against an enemy character more reliably if you stack leadership debuffs against them. I guess it's cheaper and you can pair it ''with'' Mind War if you want to really maximize that Farseer's anti-character role.
#'''Focus Will''': WC 6. Select a friendly {{WH40Kkeyword|Craftworld Psyker}} within 6". Until the end of your psychic phase add 2 to any psychic tests they make.
#*The 26/11/19 FAQ gave this power a much needed rewording. Now it is actually a useful tool to ensure a key psyker successfully casts whatever power you need them to. Combine this with the ''Children of Prophecy'' Craftworld Attribute and you literally cannot fail any WC 6 or less power. Notably functions for ''all'' tests they take, so you'll get more mileage using this on a Farseer or Warlock Conclave. Alternatively, as it adds 2 on top of whatever you roll it can make your opponent's Deny the Witch tests significantly harder (or impossible if you roll a 11+).
#*Eldrad can manifest powers with ridiculous ease if buffed with this. Offensively, you can cast Executioner on a 5+ and follow up with Smites that manifest on a 2+ and 3+ respectively (which do D6 damage on an 8+). Alternatively, a supporting Eldrad can cast Smite or Will of Asuryan on a 3+ then manifest any Guide/Doom/Fortune casts on a paltry 4+.
#*If you really want to maximize your psychic rolls, use this on Eldrad and pair a Warlock Conclave with him and use the '''Seer Council''' Stratagem to give Eldrad +3 to his first cast and +4 for any follow up powers. [[Meme|Power Overwhelming!]] +4 to cast is not only a super smite on 7+ but also a power that is essentially undeniable for anyone but Black Templars and Khorne worshipers with their stratagems to deny on 4+. Also Guide, Doom and other powers going off on 3+...
#'''Impair Senses''': WC 6. Pick one enemy unit within 18". They can shoot normally at units within 18", but beyond that, they can only pick the closest.
#*Probably the best of the batch, this allows you to suppress or redirect major threats to your backline units like your Dark Reapers or Fire Prisms by forcing them to target something much closer and (hopefully) much more disposable. A Hemlock Wraithfighter makes a great carrier for this power; it can force a unit (say, an Imperial Knight, for example) to focus fire on it while it employs ''Lightning Reflexes'' to impose a -2 to hit (-3 if Alaitoc and just far enough away) modifier.
#*Rangers can serve as excellent buffers when tactically deployed around a target affected by this power. Their innate to-hit modifiers make them absurdly difficult to shoot off the board (especially with proper stratagem/psychic support) and their ability to deep-strike into enemy territory almost ensures that you can place them close enough to effectively force your opponent to shoot at them instead. The best part is that at 60 points a squad, they're cheap enough that their (very likely) sacrifice won't cut too deeply into the rest of your detachment.

==Remnants of Glory==

Any non-named {{W40Kkeyword|Asuryani Characters}} can take one of the following relics if your warlord is part of a battle-forged {{W40Kkeyword|Asuryani}} detachment. To take additional relics or if your warlord part of a non-{{W40Kkeyword|Asuryani}} detachment, you can use the ''Treasures of the Craftworlds'' stratagem.

===Universal===

*'''Blazing Star of Vaul''': The bearer's Shuriken pistol or Twin Shuriken Catapult gets 2 more shots, which is fine to boost the firepower of a Psyker that will presumably be somewhere at the front.
*'''Faolchu's Wing ({{W40Kkeyword|Infantry}} only)''': The bearer's Movement is set to 12, and he gains {{W40Kkeyword|fly}}. Useful for speeding up a Spiritseer or a Bonesinger that should accompany some wraith units.
*'''Firesabre (Autarch only)''': The bearer's power sword gets +1S and -4AP, and on a 6+ inflicts a Mortal Wound '''instead of''' normal damage; with a Damage characteristic of 1, it's less effective against Infantry blobs than it sounds. Nice for fighting Characters with an Invuln. The only issue stems from the fact that Autarchs with Jump Packs aren't especially good for character hunting, and Skyrunners will be trading in the Power Sword for a Lance anyway.
*'''Kurnous' Bow''': The bearer's Shuriken pistol gets D2, and any wounds of 4+ have AP -3. Just as the Star of Vaul, this should only be taken when you can't make proper use of any other relic. Take whichever tastes better.
*'''The Phoenix Gem''': The first time the bearer is slain, he explodes and each unit in 3" gets 1D3 mortal wounds on a 2+. If at least 1 mortal wound is inflicted, the bearer survives with 1 wound. Hilarious for trolling when used on an Autarch on Jetbike with Laser Lance: You will have him in close combat anyway, therefore the chances for triggering will be almost 100%. Also, if he gets charged and killed, he will resurrect and still be able to hit back! A recommended relic for Wraithseers looking to shore up their durability by a couple points. This can be a potentially hilarious way to trigger a Soulburst in any allied Ynnari Detachments running around in your list. Be warned, per September FAQ you must take saves one at a time for this relic. Should the bearer resurrect and they usually will, you must take all remaining saves allocated to the model. It makes charging into tar pits or eating marine shells far less appealing.
*'''Shard of Anaris ({{W40Kkeyword|Autarch}} only)''': The bearers power sword makes 1d3 damage and re-rolls failed wounds. Because you should only be getting into fights with T4 or less if you can help it, the Firesabre will actually usually do better for you - have something else in your army deal with higher toughnesses.
*'''Shimmerplume of Achillrial ({{W40Kkeyword|Autarch}} only)''': -1 to all hit rolls that target the bearer. Stacks with Conceal, Lightning Reactions and the Alaitoc Craftworld Trait, meaning an Autarch with -4 to be hit is possible. Another excellent choice for an Autarch on Jetbike, who will definitely be the targeted during the match.

===Specialist Detachment Specific===
*'''Windrider Host - Howling Skysword of Galaleth''': This Relic is essentially a buffed Witch blade (seeing as it replaces one), doing a flat 3 damage instead of d3. It's a decent choice, though compared to your vanilla relics (like the Novalance), it'll probably only see use as a secondary pick if you're overflowing with CP for the extra Relics.
**As mentioned earlier, this relic pairs very nicely with the Witch Strike rune of fortune, granting your farseer/warlock a melee weapon that deals a flat 5 damage per swipe; more than sufficient to one-shot many supporting characters and enough to bring any non-Infantry HQ to their knees. You may want to bring another warlock that knows the Jinx power to help compensate for the lack of AP.

*'''Wraith Host - Warp-Spawn Bane''': A buffed up Witch staff, this relic also [[Awesome|ignores the invulnerable saves against both Psykers and Daemons]]. This can be quite fantastic for a Spiritseer up in the thick of it with some Wraithblade Bodyguards, though you'll want to be careful about who/when you charge with your less-than physically inclined Psyker.

==Craftworld Unit Analysis==
Common keywords are {{W40Kkeyword|AELDARI}}, {{W40Kkeyword|ASURYANI}}, and the {{W40Kkeyword|<CRAFTWORLD>}} placeholder for Biel-Tan, Iyanden, Ulthwé and the like. You share the {{W40Kkeyword|AELDARI}} keyword with Drukhari, Harlequins and Ynnari, meaning you can combine them within your list. Please note that a {{W40Kkeyword|<Craftworld>}} detachment can only take {{W40Kkeyword|<Craftworld>}} units. You can still take your Aeldari brethren in separate detachments however.

As far as Games Workshop is concerned, the only unit and wargear options legal for official matched play tournaments are those found within ''Codex: Craftworlds'', ''Imperial Armour: Xenos'' and any updated datasheets found within ''Chapter Approved'' or supplementary books (such as ''Phoenix Rising''). There are additional options that are no longer considered tournament legal found within the original ''Xenos 1'' index (which has since been supplanted by Warhammer: Legends) that are available for Open/Narrative play. These "unsupported" units and wargear still do have point values for matched play and are certainly viable for casual/local Matched Play events that endorse them, but Games Workshop has made it clear that they have no interest in keeping those options up to date any longer. As such, use any units marked as '''(Legends)''' at your own discretion.

===HQ===
*'''Autarch:''' The Craftworld's generic captain-type character used to manipulate reserves while having all the wargear options to somewhat fit into every niche. Now with reserves being completely determined by player choice, you'll want to take an Autarch over another Farseer for his aura: All {{W40Kkeyword|<CRAFTWORLD>}} units within 6" may re-roll 1s to hit for both shooting and melee attacks. Aside the tactical benefits to supporting multiple units at once for no extra effort, the ability to work for all attacks makes it a useful buff for your entire army regardless of their combat role. Although the Wargear options in the Codex are very limited, all of the old wargear options available in the Xenos 1 Index are still legal to take, so long as you adhere to any updated point costs and rules regarding them. The basic Autarch on foot is, of course, the cheapest variant at 77 points including gear. If you need your Autarch to keep up with faster units but absolutely cannot afford any of his mobility upgrades, Faolchu's Wing is a great way to compensate.
**'''Autarch Skyrunner:''' The fastest Autarch variant with the most flexible weapon loadouts available , the Skyrunner is an ideal supporting character for other bikers. Tag one to a squad of Shining Spears, Vypers or even Warlock Conclave Skyrunners to have a veritable little deathball.
**'''Autarch with Swooping Hawk Wings:''' The "default" Autarch sold by GW, the ability to deepstrike and leave the battlefield can give him virtually unlimited coverage to support your units, though the Skyrunner is almost quick enough to simply dart between locations to perform the same role (for the same price, no less). The SHW Autarch can more easily hide among your troops or simply bow out in a pinch, however.
**'''Autarch with Warp Jump Generator (Legends):''' The cheapest mobility upgrade is ''potentially'' the fastest, giving your Autarch 4d6 inches of bonus movement. As with anything dice based, a few bad rolls can severely undermine your repositioning options compared to your other choices but it's hard to argue with the WJG's price tag.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options:''' Originally the most flexible of your HQ choices, almost all of your non-default weapon choices are now considered as a Legends variant and no longer supported for competitive play. Bummer. At least you can use them in friendly matches.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Mandiblasters''': The Autarch's default headpiece. Just like the Striking Scorpions he took this from, it slaps a mortal wound on enemies in melee combat on a 6+ before any fighting actually begins. Honestly this is a very lackluster perk since the autarch will have significantly more trouble proccing it compared to a standard squad of Striking Scorpions simply due to their higher body count.
*'''Fusion Pistol''': A sidearm that lets your autarch side swipe a S8 AP-4 blast at anything 6" or closer to him. Given that your Autarch is practically a dedicated melee unit these days,
*'''Power Sword''': Comes stock on the winged and Skyrunner Autarchs in the codex, and an option for the regular and Warp Spider Autarchs in the Index. SU, AP-3, D1. Its main use is being taken to upgrade to one of the ''three'' power sword relics available to Eldar players.
*'''Starglaive''': Exclusive to the footslogging Autarch in the codex, and has the exact profile of a powerfist (Sx2, AP-3, Dd3). Remember, you're S3, making you a mediocre S6 with this, and hitting on a 3+ due to the unwieldy rule.
*'''Laser Lance''': Exclusive to Skyrunner Autarchs in both the codex and the index, and has both a ranged and melee profile - R6"/melee, S6/U, AP-4, D2, melee becomes SU+2 if you charge. Honestly the best melee weapon available, and you're gonna take a Saim-Hann Skyrunner Autarch, you're gonna give them this, you're going to upgrade it to the Novalance relic, and you'll dress him up as the lost Shining Spears Phoenix Lord.

'''Legends'''
<br>Any and all Autarchs can take anything in this list, ''however'' they become classified as a "Legends" variant and are thus illegal in any competitive play banning Legends units. Still worth noting for those few that do or for those who only play casually.
*'''Banshee Mask''': Not a weapon per-say, but still a wargear option. Of the two headgear options, the Banshee Mask is arguably the superior option due to it disrupting overwatches on the charge. This is immensely valuable on a Skyrunner Autarch due to his incredible mobility. Have a secondary melee squad of Wraithblades, Striking Scorpions or Shining Spears (arguably the best option) tag along so they can join the Autarch in combat without fear of eating any overwatches.
*'''Scorpion Chainsword''': a S:U+1 melee weapon. Meh, but it's only 1pt. Still pass and grab the power sword.
*'''Shuriken Pistol''': Interestingly, this is only standard on the Legends Autarch profiles, and got dropped upon modern iterations. The only reason to take it is because it's free.
*'''Avenger Shuriken Catapult''': Like the name suggests, the index autarch can take the Dire Avenger's Shuriken Catapult variant. Generally this would be a hard pass, since the only thing these guns have going for them is that the autarch can dual-wield them and that they're arguably the cheapest ranged weapons available to them. If points are so hard to come by that you have to settle for these on your autarch, you should reconsider your list.
*'''Death Spinner''': The Warp Spider's signature gun. The higher strength and AP value on these guns make them a reasonable choice on faster autarchs intended for anti-infantry duties.
*'''Fusion Gun''': This is in the codex as an option for the Skyrunner Autarch, though all other autarch become Legends class units if they take it. Just like the Fire Dragons and Storm Guardians whipping these guns around, your autarch will want this for any anti-tank/monster needs you may have. Skyrunners can make excellent use of these, but the real MVP abuser of this gun would probably be an autarch running a Warp Spider jump pack.
*'''Lasblaster''': From the armories of the Swooping Hawks, the lasblaster provides the same volume of fire that two avenger shuripults or death spinners can provide at longer ranges, but at weaker strength with ''no'' chance of AP. Especially given that it's more expensive than ''two'' avenger shuripults and can't even be dual wielded, just avoid this one at all costs.
*'''Reaper Launcher''': Discount Maugan Ra anyone? There are exactly two loadouts that'll be using this; a vanilla autarch camping in a corner with some Dark Reaper buddies or a Saim-Hann autarch skyrunner equipped with this and the Nova Lance. When paired with the Mark of the Incomparable Hunter warlord trait, your autarch can snipe enemy characters from across the table with ease (flat 3 damage hitting on 2+ and re-rolling 1's? Wounding most characters on a 2+ or 3+? Yes please!). The major drawback, especially on skyrunner variants, is the rather high point cost it can incur.
</div>
</div>

*'''Farseer:''' A classic HQ choice, and long a staple of the common Eldar list. Now he is everything you loved and wanted rolled into a nice 110 points package (115 with a spear). A codex version now is one of the best psykers available in the entire game, just have a look: ability to cast and deny 2 powers per turn, while Runes of Farseer allows for one free reroll of any number of dice in any psychic phase be it yours or your opponents. All that on a great base of 5 wounds 4++ and the ability to ignore any mortal wounds on 5+ with their ghosthelms even if it is a rail gun, sniper fire or exploding vehicles. After all that, GW decided that Farseers are not reliable enough and gave their ghosthelms the ability to ignore mortal wounds from perils on 2+, due to RAW your Farseer could not care less about exploding Warlocks in the background. They know two powers from Runes of Fate, in addition to Smite, and can attempt to cast/deny 2 powers in the psychic phase. Considering how versatile Runes of Fate powers are Farseers can be kitted out to perfectly suit whatever strategy demands. Fortune/Guide for excellent back line babysitting of expensive point sinks, while Doom/Executioner is really good for a front line support. Also you should not forget many strategems are tied to {{W40Kkeyword|Farseer}}, such as '''Forewarned''', '''Unparalleled Mastery''', '''Seer Council''', and '''Runes of Witnessing''', all making Farseers even more versatile. Ironically, because Guide and Fortune work on your Hemlocks, Titans, Wraithknights, Wraithlords, and Wraithseers, and Doom supports ''everything'', they are ''better'' at supporting those units than Spiritseers or Warlocks are.
**'''Farseer Skyrunner:''' Superior in every way to a regular Farseer, and only 25 pts more expensive. Being on a Jetbike allows for 17-22" of repositioning for his psychic powers and deny the witch aura, while also boosting his resilience - T4 and an extra wound means he can take quite a few more sniper shots than his footslogging counterpart. Stack him with ''Protect'' and he becomes quite tanky, perfect for delivering aggressive powers like Executioner and Mind War. Don't forget that his twin catapults hit on BS2+.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options:''' Outside of the ranged weapons that come stock on your Farseer (Skyrunner), you do have your pick of melee weapons to kit him out with.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Witchblade'''
**Free and very effective against anything relying on toughness to shrug off damage. In the "best" timeline, your Farseer isn't using this because Farseers don't usually thrive in melee combat, so you're only taking it to keep costs down.
*'''Singing Spear'''
**Take this if you can spare the points. Farseers can thrive in mid-field areas where they can still support your backfield gunlines while also debuffing/smiting enemy forces with their varied psychic powers. A singing spear can let your Farseer also contribute a powerful ranged hit on opponents that get a little too close to your side of the field.
</div>
</div>

*'''Warlock:''' Your cheapest and frailest HQ choice, Warlocks are fantastic (and necessary) force multipliers for most of your aspect warriors, and due to the dual functionality of the Runes of Battle, are extremely flexible and can adapt to changes in the field a bit more easily than some of your other HQs. That said, your Warlock honestly won't be bringing much to the table on his own due to his lower strength smites and single cast limiting your options. Defensively, a 4++ isn't much when he only has 2 wounds with GEQ stats. Single Warlocks desperately need to keep out of line of sight with a full bodyguard ready to keep them safe if there's anything that poses an immediate threat to them on field. Unfortunately, caution must also be taken even when using their powers, as they lack the protections your Farseers have and even a single perils of the warp runs a very serious risk of killing the Warlock ''and'' wounding nearby friendly units. Save your CP re-rolls for his casting if he's a key component to a formation you're running.
**'''Warlock Skyrunner:''' For only 15 more points, you can plop your Warlock onto a Jetbike to let him get where his psychic powers are needed much more quickly than having him hoof it everywhere. The Skyrunner variant also has an extra wound at T4, to help keep him around a little longer, coupled with a little extra firepower in the twin-linked Shuriken Catapult strapped on the bike itself. If you're paying this much for the warlock, it may not be a bad idea to go ahead and splurge a little more to give him a Singing Spear to help him hit with a little more staying power. With Warlocks being so expensive for a 2W model, the new footslogger's price point honestly makes the Skyrunner variant a goddamn bargain, and it should legitimately be considered unless points are ''that'' hard to come by.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options:''' Your Warlock has exactly two choices in weapons he can bring on top of his shuriken pistol. The Skyrunner also gets the standard issue twin shuriken catapult all jetbikes get, so that's neat.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Witchblade'''
**The free default blade in most cases is all you'll need. You generally don't want to make your Warlock an easy target due to his frailty, so keeping him away from most direct combat situations is advised. No need to pay for features you're not using!
*'''Singing Spear'''
**If you ''do'' want your Warlock participating in fights, paying the extra 5 points for a decent ranged attack is probably worth it. This is of particular note for the Skyrunner version due to the fantastic overlapping range it shares with the shuriken catapults the jetbike has.
</div>
</div>

*'''Warlock Conclave:''' Your only non-{{W40Kkeyword|character}} HQ unit serves as a very handy toolbox, albeit with a catch or two compared to the rest of your choices for this slot. Even at MSU, being able to know two different powers gives them an unparalleled flexibility as a vector for Runes of Battle, though you'll need to take at least four or more models in the unit to really take advantage of that. At a newly reduced price to 35 points per dude, it's certainly a much more feasible feat these days. Ideally, your Warlock Conclave can function as an elite bodyguard unit for a linchpin Farseer (like Eldrad himself) in generic lists or Yvraine (who ''really'' benefits from having expendable psykers as a bodyguard) in a Ynnari detachment. Keeping company with a Farseer opens up the extremely handy '''Seer Council''' stratagem that can be used in conjunction with the '''Concordance of Power''' and '''Unparalleled Mastery''' stratagems to unleash a deluge of psychic casts per turn when needed. When building your list, keep in mind that while the Conclave can cast more powers and stronger Smites the more models it has, the unit can get extremely expensive quickly.
**'''Warlock Skyrunner Conclave:''' For 13 more points per dude, bump up each model's toughness and wound count by one and give them all the the power and mobility of a jetbike. Despite the price reduction, skyrunner conclaves are still potentially the most expensive HQ choice you can take depending on how many you're looking to run, so keep that in mind while building your lists.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options:''' Aside the complementary shuriken pistol your Warlocks pack, they have the same choice of melee weapons your stand alone Warlock and Farseer get. If they are riding a Skyrunner, they also get a twin shuriken catapult per bike.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Witchblade'''
**Your Warlocks' default weapon is honestly all they should really need in most cases, especially since trading these out for Singing Spears gets very pricey very fast.
*'''Singing Spear'''
**Even at an otherwise measly 5 points a pop, it adds up very quickly when you slap them on every model in your squad. Due to being free game to your opponent, you may generally want to avoid overpaying on a supporting unit that can easily get spanked off the board if your opponent so desires. A minor exception is if you're taking a Skyrunner Conclave; you're already paying out the ass to field a Conclave on jetbikes and the Singing Spears get really nice synergy with the underslung catapults. The added mobility and durability afforded by the jetbikes also makes them significantly harder to immediately deal with, so you may as well give them the extra offensive presence to match.
</div>
</div>

*'''Spiritseer:''' Now costing 55 points, their primary role is ''intended'' to support {{W40Kkeyword|Spirit Host}} units (including themselves), which get re-rolls of 1s to hit while the Spiritseer is within 6" of the ''target''. However, while Hemlocks, Titans, Wraithknights, Wraithlords, and Wraithseers have the {{W40Kkeyword|Spirit Host}} tag, none of the Runes of Battle buffs work on them, so a Spiritseer is actually quite bad at supporting them; instead, Spiritseers excel most at supporting Wraithcannon Wraithguard and Wraithblades, and also serve as more cost efficient Warlocks for Smite and melee output. For just a 10 point bump, you gain a better smite, double the amount of wounds (thats 4W), and BS/WS 2+ compared to a foot slogging warlock while missing out on just a few stratagems like '''Seer Council'''. That is one helluva bargain! The most crucial is 4W that means that Spiritseers are guaranteed to survive the first perils and aren't ''that'' afraid of sniper fire. If going just for RoB delivery vector they are better served under Alaitoc Attribute but with 4W Ulthwé is a still good choice.
**'''Modelling Note:''' It looks like GW hasn't ''completely'' forgotten about the non-Imperial factions amid all the new releases, and a shiny new Plastic Spiritseer model was released for the new Wake the Dead set!

*'''Wraithseer (Forge World):''' Your sturdiest generic HQ unit by far, Wraithseers are stacked with a staggering 12 wounds at T8 and a 3+/5++ save, making them nigh indestructible compared to your other choices for this slot. This durability ''is'' slightly hampered by two things: as characters with 10+ wounds, they're free game for everybody with a gun and they suffer from a degrading statline. The latter issue can easily be worked around; {{W40Kkeyword|Iyanden}} practically removes the damage table while Bonesingers and/or Tears of Isha can heal Wraithseers D3 wounds a turn each. Offensively, the Wraithseer packs heat in the form of any standard heavy weapon, a Wraithcannon, or a D-Cannon as their ranged option with a complimentary Ghostspear for close encounters. Like prior editions, Wraithseers are highly synergistic with other Wraith units (specifically Wraithguard/blades and Wraithlord) and benefits from Spiritseer support. As such, they tend to operate best in a spirit host-type detachment, but can still shine on their own with proper support. Speaking of support, Wraithseers have access to 3 unique powers (with only one cast per turn and no Smite of any kind), two of which are strictly designed to support their Wraith buddies.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Psychic Powers:''' The Wraithseer's ability to cast/deny one power a turn can be quite handy, if only to protect against opposing psykers in non-Spirit Host lists. Armies sporting a few Wraithlords and Wraithblades/guard can, however, find a few of these powers a bit handy.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
**'''Enliven''': Warp Charge 6 (72.22%). Allows a friendly unit of wraithguard/wraithblades/wraithlord to roll two dice for that unit's advance/charge and discard the lowest roll. This gives Wraith units the hilariously ironic privilege of being the only Craftworld units that can get Fleet in 8th edition.
**'''Foreboding''': Warp Charge 8(41.67%). Reduces the leadership of every enemy unit within 6" of the Wraithseer by 1. Situational and not very reliable, but can be stacked with other powers/effects to create potent leadership bombs (A nearby Hemlock casting Horror alone can drop Ld by an additional -3, for example).
**'''Deliverance''': Warp Charge 7 (58.33%). Grants the targeted unit of Wraithguard/Wraithblades/Wraithlord 6+ FNP. Weirdly, cannot cast it on himself. Does not stack with Ulthwe's attribute and is outperformed by Fortune, though the latter may be better reserved for squishier, still living Eldar.
Even if you don't have it cast any powers, it can still at least deny one enemy cast and can still easily tear most enemies apart at range or in melee; more than can be said for the rest of your psykers (granted, their powers are considerably more useful/flexible). Currently at 100pts base, Wraithseers are definitely a force to consider for people good with Forge World kits.
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options:''' Though the complimentary ghostspear is quite good for dealing with anyone who strays too close, the Wraithseer's ranged arsenal is actually quite varied and can be tailored to help shore up areas of your army that may be lacking. That said, one of these guns in particular stands out among the others for obvious reasons.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Shuriken Cannon'''
**A decent mid-strength gun that doesn't penalize the Wraithseer's accuracy for moving and shooting. As cool as that is, it doesn't have either the volume of fire or impact per shot to really be worth taking over any of your other choices.
*'''Scatter Laser'''
**Probably the most acceptable choice of the standard selection, the scatter laser offers just a touch more in the dakka department than the shuricannon does and is marginally cheaper for it. If you must take the cheapest possible Wraithseer, consider at least giving it this to make sure it can still do something at range.
*'''Starcannon'''
**A good MEQ/TEQ killer at a reasonable price, the starcannon can soften up a smaller unit of infantry just enough that a followup charge can easily clear it out. That said, a single starcannon often doesn't provide enough ranged pressure on its own to be worth taking on your Wraithseer.
*'''Bright Lance'''
**Bright lances are normally a pretty good choice for dealing with enemy tanks or monsters, and that much is still true here. Only the melee ghostspear hits up to four times per turn at a higher strength with extra bonuses against enemy vehicles and is free to boot. Compared to your other ranged options, the bright lance might seem like a decent option if you want to shave off a few points, but it just does so much worse comparatively that you may as well just skip it entirely.
*'''Aeldari Missile Launcher'''
**The AML provides both anti GEQ/MEQ support in addition to its anti tank/monster role, so it's a decent option. The variable number of shots does make it a bit worse than the scatter laser or even shuricannon if you explicitly intend on using it for anti infantry, and even the bright lance offers a bit more consistent armor negation against bigger targets (not even mentioning how much better the D-Cannon is at this yet), so unless you are absolutely uncertain as to what you're going to be fighting, stick with one of your other options.
*'''Wraithcannon'''
**An...odd inclusion, especially as no kits outside wraithguard exist for the weapon, [[Counts As|but it can still take it somehow]]. The only other assault weapon available to your Wraithseer, it has a decent niche for an anti vehicle/monster melee Wraithseer since it can close the gap and remain slightly more accurate while doing so, but its garbage range and extreme price tag makes it unsuitable for anything else outside this role. Even then, the potential accuracy drop incurred from moving the other heavy weapons might be made entirely irrelevant given the higher number of shots they're capable of.
*'''D-Cannon'''
**This is the Wraithseer's pride and joy, though this puppy is staggeringly expensive. Though it's nearly half again the price of the Wraithseer itself, the D-cannon can easily take advantage of its ability to ignore line of sight to tear tanks, monsters and superheavies a new asshole. The variable d3 shots can potentially make up for the accuracy lost for moving with the gun, more than can be said for any of your other anti large weapons and the (albeit unlikely) potential to slap up to 18 wounds on a target per turn can let you effectively erase any target short of a relatively healthy Imperial Knight. A fantastic way to abuse the ability to ignore line of sight to take advantage of the Mark of the Incomparable Hunter warlord trait to [[rape|snipe enemy characters with a S12 gun]], making the Wraithseer one of the best character hunters in the game. Keep in mind though, having a 145 point freely targetable warlord that presents such a danger to your enemies' characters, tanks and monsters will make it that much more of a priority mark for your opponents, and only one Wraithseer in your entire army can be used to snipe like this.
</div>
</div>

====Special Characters====
*'''The Avatar of Khaine:''' Now back to the HQ slot after 7th shifted him to the Lord of War section, he's every bit the buffed monster he should be, but has taken a steep price increase from 195 to 220 points (thanks Chapter Approved 2018). He is as survivable as he was before with a 3+/5++, but now thanks to his awesome Molten Body special rule, he can ignore regular ''and'' Mortal Wounds suffered on a 5+. Not to mention his Wailing Doom is utter carnage, be it at range or close combat. S8 AP:-4, and inflicts D6 wounds (roll 2d6, discard the lowest for both shooting and melee). He hits on 2+ just like every decent character, so just stick him with an autarch for those all important re-rolls, as his attacks is just pure gold. He's awesome against characters, vehicles, and high-priority targets as he should be, but due to the way overkill now works only Mortal wounds spill over, so the Avatar of Khaine at best can kill 5 infantry models. This makes him much more prone to tarpitting from hordes than he was in 7th. He is also Character with less than 10 wounds, so screen him with whatever you want - an Alaitoc Guardian blob with shuriken cannons, buffed by ''Protect'', ''Conceal'', and ''Celestial Shield'' makes the perfect bodyguard, fending off tarpits and being absurdly durable.
**Worth noting that the Avatar allows ALL friendly '''Asuryani''' units within 12" to reroll charges...and makes them immune to morale. This is very helpful when running mixed craftworlds - he's basically giving you a combination of Saim-Hann and Iyanden's craftworld abilities, so you'll get the most mileage out of him if he's buffing Ulthwe, Biel-Tan, or Alaitoc. Rerolling charges makes Eldar even ''faster'', as many of your units can close the gap and then use Fly to escape next turn (while locking down your opponent and basically using them as a human shield). This is horrifying when combined with a Banshee-star list.
**Where the Avatar of Khaine ''really'' shines is in a Footdar list where infantry can make the most out of his 12" aura, however, he can quickly become deadweight in a mechanized list where he cannot keep up with vehicles that move more than twice his speed.
** Mobility concerns have always been problematic for the Avatar. Giving him Falcon's swiftness warlord trait helps a lot. That, and/or Matchless Agility if you have the command point to spare and there's no other unit that benefits from it more.

====Phoenix Lords====

[[Fail |Sadly, Phoenix Lords can't take a Warlord Trait]]. All of them buff their own aspect in some fashion (three of them provide re-rolling of 1s to hit; as a result, Fuegan and Maugan Ra don't buff their Exarchs if said Exarchs didn't trade up for another power). They share a "baseline" profile of M7, WS/BS 2+, S/T 4, W6, A4, Ld9, and a 2+ save. All of them are {{W40Kkeyword|aspect warrior}}s, but none of them have the actual keywords of the aspect they represent. There are no Phoenix Lords for the Crimson Hunters, Warp Spiders, or Shining Spears (that last is because [[Drastanta]] is busy challenging [[Jaghatai Khan]] to a bike race, but for the other two, we have no idea who their Phoenix Lord even is), although it's worth noting that Karandras is <s>just faking it; the [[Drazhar|real one]] works for the Dark Eldar.</s> {{FWIP}} '''Ignore the vile and insidious propaganda of the [[Dark Eldar |dark kin]], Commander; for their treacherous words will only lead you astray from the path.'''

*'''Asurmen:''' Has an additional attack (A5) with his S+1 AP-3 D1d3 sword, which inflicts an additional 1d3 Mortal Wounds on a 6+ to wound, and has two Avenger Shuriken Catapults for ranged combat. Like his Aspect, he Overwatches on a 5 or 6, but you take him for the invuln: he has 3++ in melee and a 4++ at ranged, and more importantly, friendly {{W40Kkeyword|aspect warrior}} units within 6" gain a 5++, or a 4++ if they're Dire Avengers. This means he can buff both other Phoenix Lords, and some of the stranger Aspect Warriors, like Crimson Hunters and their Exarchs. Combine this with the Protect Warlock power and you can have [[Awesome |Dire Avengers with a 2+/3++ in cover. 2+/3++/6+++ if they are Ulthwe]]. Yes that is right, when you factor in all of the [[Eldar |-1 to Hit Eldar can stack on top of this]] (even without going Alaitoc), he can potentially give your [[What |Baseline Infantry durability to rival the Custodes]]. He is an expensive Phoenix Lord at 150 points, but damn well worth the price for an Aspect Warrior list.
** With some support, Asurmen can be disgustingly tanky in a fight. Cast Protect on him to bump his saves up to a 2+/2++ when in combat, which can be further supported with Enervate/Drain if you so desire. That said, your opponent may simply bow out and try to light him up with ranged firepower to reduce/negate some of this buffed durability, so try to have a squad or two of Striking Scorpions/Howling Banshees help surround priority targets.

*'''Baharroth:''' The quickest (M14) and cheapest of the Phoenix Lords at 110 points, and with good reason. He has the same Cry of the Wind and Skyleap abilities his Swooping Hawks have. Also, if he moves over an enemy unit or deep strikes near it in the movement phase, roll a die for every model in the unit (max 3d6) for the unit, and every 4+ dishes out a mortal wound. He gives friendly Swooping Hawks re-roll 1s to hit (but strangely not himself), and all {{W40Kkeyword|aspect warrior}}s gain +1Ld within 6" of him (with friendly Swooping Hawks gaining +2Ld). You can drop him wherever his support abilities are needed. He also has a Swooping Hawks Exarch gun, and an S+1 AP-3 D1d3 sword that debuffs any ''units'' it wounds with a -1 to hit until the end of the turn.

*'''Fuegan:''' If you thought Fire Dragons were awesome, wait until you get a load of this guy. His Firepike is still the same anti-tank or anti-Monster gun at 18" Assault 1 S8 AP-4 D1d6 (rolling 2d6 discarding the lowest when the target's within 9"), a Fire Axe which is AP-4 D1d3 (and Fuegan is S5!), and melta bombs. He's pretty kitted out as is, but his abilities make him truly shine. He re-rolls 1s to wound against Monsters and Vehicles, and he re-rolls 1s to hit at range ([[Awesome|and gives this same bonus to friendly Fire Dragons within 6"]]). In addition, he has a 5+++ FNP, making him almost as survivable as Asurmen against normal weapons (and flat out better against mortal wounds), and if he suffers at least one wound in the Fight phase, then at the end of it, once per game, he gains a permanent +2 to his strength ([[Rape|making him S7]]) and attack characteristics ([[Rape|that's 6 attacks]]). At 140 points, he is a costly beatstick, but a good one at that.

*'''Irillyth (Forge World):''' Speedy and shooty with deepstriking privileges, Irillyth is second only to Baharroth in sheer mobility (M12), but packs a hell of a lot more firepower than his flighty brother. Irillyth's Spear of Starlight (24" Assault 1 S6 AP-3 D2) allows him to make an additional shooting attack for each successful hit he lands, up to a maximum of 4 total hits! To top that off, his Reaper of Souls ability lets him re-roll 1s to wound {{W40Kkeyword|infantry}} in the Shooting phase. Given his rather shooty nature, many would assume that he would be easy prey when it comes to melee. However, rather than having a Dispersed mode on his Spear of Starlight, it has a melee mode that stabs people 4 times at S+1 (S5) AP-3 for 2D (D3+1 if he was the one who charged), meaning even Primaris marines and Terminators may hesitate before trying to punch him to death. Combined with his 2+ save, Irillyth has a Spectre Holo-Field that subtracts 1 from enemy To Hit rolls, which if in cover and buffed by a Warlock's Conceal, can make him a real bitch to get rid of. The last notable perk he's got going for him is his spooky fear bubble (the Spectre of Death) that makes all enemies within 18" of him or any of your Shadow Spectres roll 2D6 (discarding the lowest roll) for all Morale tests they take. Note that this stacks with the Exarch rule, for TWO unkept low dice on morale checks, ''and'' is an infinite range buff - he doesn't need to be near the unit he's buffing, just for both of them to be alive (he doesn't even need to be on the table!).
**'''Leadership bomb''': The wording of The Spectre of Death and Shadow of Death (from the Shadow Spectre Exarch) rules allows you to create a terrifying Morale check on 3D6, discarding the 2 lowest, for an enemy unit within 6" of a Shadow Spectre Exarch. Throw some Horrify/Mind Shock Pod/Phantasm Grenades in there, and even those Custodes just might run.
***In case you're wondering, the averages on 1d6, 2d6kh1, and 3d6kh1 are 3.5, 4.47, 4.96, so stacking the two unkept die rules is pretty worthless; instead, if you do take Irillyth, use him as an excuse not to take an Exarch, which will save you 5 points per squad. Irillyth's rule has much better range, anyway.

*'''Jain Zar:''' The first of Asurmen's students has returned, both in plastic and with updated rules! Right off the bat, Jain Zar is a terrifying melee combatant who wields both ''Silent Death'' (an assault 4 S4 AP-3 weapon) and the ''Blade of Destruction'' (a buffed Executioner that hits at S6 AP-3 DD3 with re-rolls for failed wounds) on the mostly standard Phoenix Lord statline. Combined with the flurry of special abilities native to her aspect, such as overwatch immunity, advancing after charging with an extra 3" added if she does so, she will find it particularly easy to get stuck into combat and do some heavy damage. Jain Zar wouldn't be a Phoenix Lord if she didn't offer any incentives to run her aspect with her, so in comes her ''Cry of War Unending'' ability. This grants Jain Zar and all Howling Banshees within 6" the Always Fight First rule (and all the caveats that come with it), which might have some niche use if enough Banshees can fully cut off enemy units from [[/d/|pulling out]] of the fight. Jain Zar's last notable ability, ''Storm of Silence'' is arguably her main selling point now. Allowing her to make attacks equal to the number of enemy models within 2" of her, this transforms Jain Zar into a GEQ/MEQ blender that can single-handedly wipe entire squads off the board in a single fight phase. Unfortunately, this kind of discourages having more than a squad of banshees accompany her since outside acting as meatshields on the approach, they'll more likely just get in the way in the fight phase.

*'''Karandras:''' Hell yes, our infiltrating super-ninja warrior! He has the average Phoenix Lord stat-line and currently runs at 125 points. He comes with a host of special abilities: the Master of Stealth and Shadow Strike rules of the Striking Scorpions, and his Scorpion's Bite is a Mandiblaster mask that hits on a 5+ and shoots 4 times instead of 1 (Averages 1.3 Mortal Wounds per combat round). He also has exploding attacks (6s to hit generate a single additional attack that DOES NOT explode) on himself, and grants it to all Striking Scorpions within 6" of him. His Scorpions Claw has lost the -1 to hit Penalty meaning he is one of the scariest close combat characters we have (short of the Avatar or Yncarne) with 4 S8, AP-3 Exploding attacks that deal d3 damage each. If you give him Empower, [[Awesome|he is wounding everything below T8 on a 2+, letting him take on anything short of a Super-Heavy]], and [[Rape |Enhance means his attacks explode on a 5+, or 4+ if the target is covering in cover]]. However, with how the Psychic Rules worth in 8th Edition you might be better off using those powers on the blob of Scorpions that he is babysitting instead.

*'''Maugan Ra:''' Our shooty Lord, at 140 points, and the slowest of them, at M6. He can shoot his Maugetar twice, using either profile in each salvo (and target them independently). Both profiles are 36" Assault X S6 AP-1 D1; the "Shuriken" profile has X=4 while the Shrieker profile has X=1, but if it slays an {{W40Kkeyword|infantry}} model, its unit suffers another 1d3 mortal wounds. While it sounds awesome, 2 Shuriken Cannon shots that ''might'' cause Mortal Wounds will always be outperformed by 8 Shuriken Cannon shots. His Scythe is also a powerful S+2 AP-2 D1d3, making him decent at taking on enemy characters or Monsters. Abilities-wise, as mentioned, he can fire his gun twice in each shooting phase (allowing him to get 8 Shuriken Cannon shots off per turn), re-rolls 1s to hit for his ranged weapon and grants that same ability to all Dark Reapers within 6" (this in addition to always hitting on 2+ means he only has a 1/36 chance of missing a shot), and re-rolls to-wound rolls of 1 when targeting {{W40Kkeyword|chaos}} units.

===Troops===

All Units in this section have the Path of War ability (which is the old Objective Secured, and will be referred to as such).

*'''[[Guardian]] Defenders''': When you're looking to quite literally fill out your troop choice with as many bodies as possible, Guardian Defenders are probably going to be your go-to choice. At 8-points a model, they're a touch pricier than their GEQ counterparts in other armies, but they make up for it with their Space Marine level accuracy, speed and access to many support options that can turn them into one of the most resilient infantry units in your army. Every 10 members per squad allows you to purchase a Heavy Weapon Platform that can be kitted out with any standard Heavy Weapon available to you, enabling your Guardians to take potshots against a wide variety of targets they may otherwise be borderline useless against. This by no means should encourage you to chuck your Guardians at your opponent's Leman Russ tanks just because you gave them a Bright Lance, but they can certainly try to bip a shot or two at it while your Fire Dragons or Wraithguard get into position. The Shuriken Catapult each Guardian comes stock with may at first seem underwhelming, a 12" range, 2 shot S4 gun that ''may'' be AP-3 if luck favors you, but in the numbers you'll be fielding Guardians in, they make shockingly effective blob blenders that can seriously lock down objectives or discourage anyone from charging recklessly into your turf.
**[[Awesome |It's actually possible to get them up to a 3+/3++/5+++ against shooting by combining Fortune and Protect with Celestial Shield]]. Ulthwé gives a 6+ FNP for free so they don't really need to use Fortune. It's also possible to get them to -2 to be hit (-3 for Alaitoc) as well so they're now more durable than you think if there are Psykers close enough to support them.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Heavy Weapon Platform Loadout Options:''' As stated, every 10 Guardians per unit allows them to take a Heavy Weapon, maximum of two. The standard fare is available to them, though they must pay a slight fee for the platform itself in addition to the gun.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Shuriken Cannon''':
**A great option for Guardians on the move, Battle Focus makes this the only "heavy" weapon that lets your Defenders run and gun with no penalties. Ideal for Biel-Tan lists.
*'''Scatter Laser''':
**The cheapest choice is also a solid one. Long ranged anti-GEQ firepower works fairly well with large squads of Guardians, especially if you go big enough to field a pair of them.
*'''Starcannon''':
**A mid-tier choice for mid-tier units, the Starcannon cuts out some of the "all-or-nothing" attitude the your shuriken weaponry has regarding armor. A good supplementary choice against MEQ armies, but unless your Guardians are close enough to contribute their firepower as well, don't expect it to clear squads on its own.
*'''Bright Lance''':
**If you have the points to spare and if you plan on having your Defenders hang back and defend key locations, the bright lance is a good, if pricey choice for contributing firepower against monsters and tanks. You can also buff these to hit on a 2+ for Ulthwé Guardian Defenders, but one would argue the AML would be a better choice.
*'''Aeldari Missile Launcher''':
**Same price as the bright lance, though much more flexible. Not only does it perform decently against both single heavy targets and groups of small targets, but your Guardian Defenders arguably get the most out of this particular gun than anyone else who can take it (namely Ulthwé ones). ''Discipline of the Black Guardians'' grants the ever reliable accuracy most other units (even Dark Reapers) can't quite compare to and the ''Starshot Missile'' offers a clutch anti-{{W40Kkeyword|Fly}} option that can smack Mortal Wounds on airborne targets. Their exceptional range also makes them fantastic for backline Guardians acting as deep-strike buffers or objective defenders so that they can contribute something cross field.

</div>
</div>

*'''[[Storm Guardians]]''': They are faster and they can assault out of Wave Serpents, so they suck a bit less than in 7th. Sadly they are quite a niche unit outside of some very specific roles. They are the cheapest option to get Fusion Guns and Flamers onto the board, and at 48 points per 8-Elf Squad are the cheapest way to fill out a Brigade Detachment, so they do have that going for them. Sadly, they lost their high initiative with nothing to compensate for that other than being able to shoot their decent pistols in melee. And their "exquisitely crafted" Aeldari blades are..... different, now allowing you to re-roll misses which is something that would be amazing on almost any [[Warhammer_40,000/Tactics/Eldar_Harlequins(8E)#TroopsTroupes|unit]] other than the one that got them... One niche they do have in the Codex is a cheap bodyguard unit for characters in an Ulthwé detachment. With the Guardian exclusive stratagems they are more accurate than Aspect Warriors and stick around decently enough with a Warlock helping them, so can compete with other Aeldari melee options, but the support they need to do so might be better served on other units. Like the Aspect Warriors doing the actual killing. If we are also considering allies: [[Wyches]], however are strictly better for tarpitting and are only a little more expensive, and Troupes are by far the better pick for actual melee combat, though you can easily field 2 Storm Guardian squads for the same cost.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Options:''' Aside the complimentary Shuriken Pistol, each storm guardian has their choice of taking either a chainsword or aeldari blade. Two of every eight Storm Guardians can instead take one of two special weapons and arguably serve as the primary reason to even take these guys at all.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Aeldari Blade'''
**The default blade that is complete trash. The only benefit it provides is that it allows Storm Guardians to re-roll failed hits in the fight phase. Seeing as how this is strictly worse than just gaining another attack, never take this.
*'''Chainsword'''
**A completely free upgrade that grants Storm Guardians an extra attack. Always take this.
*'''Flamer'''
**One of exactly two units in the entire Craftworld codex who has access to the bog-standard flamer. One or two of these in a standard unit is actually quite useful against GEQ armies. Their range meshes nicely with the rest of the squad's shuriken pistols and serves quite well as a prelude for and against charges.
*'''Fusion Gun'''
**Serves the exact opposite purpose the Storm Guardian's flamer does. In a similar vein to taking a bright lance or AML on a Guardian Defender squad, you take these to supplement your existing forces rather than replacing them, as the Storm Guardian squad as a whole likely won't contribute jack shit to the type of targets the fusion gun is designed for. Additionally, these guns can get expensive quite quickly and decking out your S. Guardians with them can negate one of their biggest selling points: dirt cheap prices. On the plus side, Ulthwé S. Guardians can take advantage of their unique stratagem for +2 to-hit fusion guns, something even your Fire Dragons can't quite match.
*'''Power Sword (Legends)'''
**Kind of a "special weapon" in its own right, only two models per squad can take a power sword in lieu of their aeldari blade. The AP is nice, but each model wielding the sword only gets one attack at S3 a turn. Give this a skip.

</div>
</div>

*'''Dire Avengers''': At 11 points per model, they could seem like an overpriced Guardian unit, but their increased range, better overwatch, better save and unique Exarch options open up for several interesting uses. They are usually considered as a Jack-of-All-Trades unit, that can be tailored to your special needs by choosing the appropriate Exarch option. In most cases, they excel at harassing slower melee units by constantly advancing back from the enemy and keeping the distance at 18". And even when they get caught, their overwatch is nothing to laugh about (remember your Grenades, [[Troll |so if your opponent is 6" away when charging...]]). Don't forget the Exarch's 4++ invuln, that can possibly tank some high AP shots. There are many ways of fielding these guys, including:
**10-man squad in a Wave Serpent, possibly supported by Guide, Doom, Jinx or Reveal, that clears some objective from soft targets or a small MEQ unit. If you want to field Asurmen, take two of these!
**5-man squad that shares a Serpent with a small unit of Fire Dragons, in order to kill the passengers of the transport the Dragons just melted.
**10-man squad that footslogs together with an Avatar straight up to the enemy, who takes care of the big targets, while the Avengers keep him free of tarpits.
**Squad of arbitrary size that stays at your back line in order to shield your fire base and counter deep striking enemies.
**5-man squad for 55 points filling up a brigade detachment.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Powers:''' Dire Avengers Exarchs by default have the '''Battle Fortune''' ability, granting them a 4+ invulnerable save. This can either be exchanged for one of the following powers, or you may pay 1 CP for one particular Dire Avenger Exarch to keep Battle Fortune and take one of the following.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Bladestorm'''
**While the Exarch is part of the unit, all non-Grenade ranged weapons score an additional hit on an unmodified hit roll of a 6. Can prove somewhat handy, especially with bigger squads or on Exarchs dual-wielding ASCs. Equivalent to +1 to hit (and stacks with it), even on Overwatch (where it works fine, unlike real modifiers). Offensively speaking, this is the best power of the bunch (Avenging Strike would be better if you could reliably lose only a few members, but that's challenging compared to losing none or many).
*'''Defend'''
**Squads accompanying an Exarch with this force opponents to subtract 1 from wound rolls made by melee weapons against them. Basically a free, constant Enervate debuff (which can be stacked with Enervate for a -2 to wound roll). Given your Exarch can actually participate in melee to a decent degree, this isn't a bad trait to take for objective defenders expecting company.
*'''Stand Firm'''
**Straight up morale immunity for a squad containing an Exarch with this power. As in, you auto-pass all morale tests, don't roll any dice. Another decent ability that has uses in maxed out squads, but is somewhat overshadowed by other abilities you can take here instead - and why take 1 10-elf squad when you can take 2 5-elf squads?
*'''Martial Adept'''
**This Exarch has a WS/BS of 2+. A pretty good trait that is great for either ranged or melee exarchs. Precious few troop choices in the game can get a built in BS/WS of a 2+ with the abundant access to hit rerolls and performance buffing psychic powers you have. If you're sticking to ranged combat, this is going to be worse than Bladestorm, which is functionally BS2+ for the entire unit; only take this if you really plan on getting into melee, or are obsessed with your Exarch's grenades.
*'''Shredding Fire'''
**All ranged non-grenade weapons fired by this Exarch gain AP-3 at all times, losing the "critical hit" AP-3 on a wound roll of 6 rule. This is generally speaking ''terrible'', because even on a 5-elf unit, targets are few and far between where this will outperform Bladestorm, due to this only buffing the Exarch's shots, not the squad's.
*'''Avenging Strike'''
**While your Exarch is alive and the squad itself has taken at least one casualty, you add 1 to each model's hit and wound rolls. This is also a very good power; you will invariably lose at least one model from your units as the battle progresses and these roll buffs apply for all attacks made by every remaining model. The only downside is also an upside: your opponent won't willingly leave an injured squad alive, so be prepared for this to turn into the real power being that your Dire Avengers can control your opponent's flow.
**''Given you also get +1 to wound, this means that the rending effect on 6s will also trigger on 5s too.
</div>
</div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Weapons:''' Your Dire Avenger Exarch arguably has the most flexible loadout choices among all the other aspect warriors. If you don't want to spend any extra points on him, he just packs around an avenger shuriken catapult just like his less obsessed kin.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Two Avenger Shuriken Catapults''':
**Exactly what it sounds like, your Exarch simply dual-wields two ASC's. Given you're doubling his ranged output for a measily 3 points, you'll almost always want to take this on any standard loadout. As they're counted as two individual guns (not "twin-linked"), you may choose separate targets for each gun, so there's that going for him too.
*'''Power Glaive and Shuriken Pistol''':
**Shave 6" and half the shots from your ranged weapon, but get a power axe equivalent. Has some decent usage when up against GEQ/MEQ, but is arguably outperformed offensively by the Diresword or even just sticking with the shuripults.
*'''Power Glaive and Shimmershield''':
**Completely forego any ranged weapons on your Exarch in exchange for a squadwide 5++ invulnerable save. A pricey upgrade that is now considerably more attractive for Exarchs giving up their invulnerable save for one of their fancy new powers. Due to the way those powers work, you ideally don't want the squad Exarch to tank shots unnecessarily and this will let the rest of your meat shields gain at least some guaranteed protection to compensate.
*'''Diresword and Shuriken Pistol''':
**Again, sacrifice a bit of your ranged firepower to get a power sword equivalent that's AP-2, but slaps a mortal wound in addition to any damage dealt on a wound roll of 6. Since your Exarch is naturally S3 and would've needed to roll a 5 or 6 just to wound most MEQ units anyways, this is a reasonably decent loadout for Exarchs you expect to be up on the front lines. Season this with a Warlock casting either Protect or Empower on him, or posse up with Asurmen to more efficiently lay the smackdown on enemies in melee.
</div>
</div>

*'''Rangers''': Deep Striking Snipers that can target characters regardless of restrictions. [[Awesome]]. They also gain a 3+ Save in cover and anything firing on them has -1 BS to hit, meaning that they can be a nightmare to get rid of, especially if they are Alaitoc and/or a Warlock is nearby. Sniper units all have an essential Character Hunting role to play in 8th Edition, and they are fantastic units to spread out to deny your opponent the ability to Deep Strike exactly where they want to, so these guys are a strong contender for any of your Troop slots regardless of Craftworld. They are 12 points per model, making each 5-Elf Squad 60 Points each.
**'''Remember''': Snipers won't kill an Ork Warboss alone, but they can sure as hell take out the Painboy buffing him up, or snipe that Commissar keeping that Conscript blob from breaking the second your Wraithguard or Shadow Spectres open up on them.
** '''Note''': Due to Heavy Weapons no longer Snap Firing on the move, and the Rangers also having pistols (for if you need to use Battle Focus), these guys are a lot more mobile than you might think.
**They are now the best unit to take for a Brigade Detachment to get those precious command points.
** '''Deployment''': If you have some larger ruins on your table, make sure to place one or two of the objective markers on the very top of those, and then let your Rangers appear right there. Perfect for trolling sluggish, ground-bound armies.

===Dedicated Transport===
*'''Wave Serpent:''' All those Serpents you definitely didn't get during 6th Edition have been made great again. It is still the most survivable Grav-Tank, but now by a larger margin: not only does it have an extra wound compared to its shorter brethren, ye olde Serpent Shield will now reduce any multiple damage results by 1 (to a minimum of 1). Firing it off (and disabling the shield in the process) [[Awesome | will basically auto-cast the Smite psychic power]]. Any weapons loadout you slap on it will be useful, be it the cheap triple Shuriken Cannon for some Bladestorm goodness or Bright Lances to hunt tanks (don't forget to take a Crystal Targeting Matrix if you opt for a Heavy Weapon), you won't be disappointed. At now only 28 points, Twin Starcannons are a good choice for scaring the hell out of TEQs and Primaris Marines. Missile Launchers are as versatile as ever and Scatter lasers will threaten infantry of all types well. So basically just take what your Army might need. Oh, and did we mention that it's our main transport? The one that brings Fire Dragons, Banshees and Wraithguard to their targets?
**'''Chapter Approved 2018''': One of the few Craftworld units that got a point increase as opposed to a decrease, but by only 13 points. And let's be real, they kinda deserve it.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options''': Wave Serpents have a fairly basic selection of weapons to mount on its chassis. Like every other tank based on the Falcon, it features an underslung twin-linked shuriken catapult that can be swapped out for a single shuriken cannon. As it is your dedicated transport, it does eschew some of the more specialized and unique weapons in exchange for a twin heavy weapon. The only real downside to these twin weapons is that they count as a single weapon; even if they're effectively just two heavy weapons strapped together, they both must target the same unit when firing.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Twin-Linked Shuriken Catapults'''
**Your default underslung gun has its uses in those Falcons that intend to get up closer to the enemy to drop off a squad of Aspect Warriors and is the best choice for Wave Serpents looking to keep it cheap. The wounding potential this has is fairly comparable to the cannon and honestly is preferable unless you want to run triple cannons for the range and strength synergy.
*'''(Twin) Shuriken Cannon'''
**Upgrading the underslung gun into a shuriken cannon is generally not necessary, as your Wave Serpent will often be trying to get in close to drop off its payload of aspect or wraith melee units in enemy lines. If you're planning on taking a Wave Serpent to primarily act as a durable tank that doesn't take up your precious heavy support slots, the extra range the cannon has over the catapults is certainly welcome. The twinned version mounted on the turret is an excellent and reasonably priced choice for transporting units quickly, since you can still contribute their firepower even while advancing. Obviously pairs perfectly with the underslung cannon.
*'''Twin Scatter Laser'''
**Your cheapest and best anti-GEQ choice, the twin scatter laser lets you blast 8 S6 shots at ranges that surpass any shuriken variant available to you. Even with the accuracy dip brought on from the constant moving, the rate of fire alone will still help put a dent in any infantry you scoot past.
*'''Twin Starcannon'''
**A good middle of the road option, the twin starcannon seems a little lackluster compared to your other options in this slot. Being twinned does give it a serious boost however, as 4 S6 AP-3 shots will virtually erase any MSU MEQ squad you come across, with the underslung catapults/cannon able to clean up the rest of what's left.
*'''Twin Bright Lance'''
**A good choice that gives your Wave Serpent a fairly effective anti-tank/monster option for a workable price. It serves fairly nicely as a tank/transport cracker if you're carting around Banshees/Wraithblades and ''can'' give embarked Fire Dragons/Wraithguard an extra push if whatever they tried to blow up managed to survive their efforts. It does face fairly stiff competition from the twin AML though.
*'''Twin Aeldari Missile Launcher'''
**If you have the points, the twin AML is your most flexible choice and one certainly worth considering if you can afford it. Either 2 S8 shots or 2D6 S4 shots let your Wave Serpent threaten a wide variety of targets. It also grants your Wave Serpent the ability to double down on its passenger's focus (like anti-tank Fire Dragons or anti-horde Howling Banshees) or help cover up their shortcomings (like using the 2D6 shots against that 10 man Scion squad that tumbled out of the Taurox Prime your dragons just popped open)
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Vehicle Upgrade Options''': Your Wave Serpent and its sister tanks are the only ones who actually have their pick of the vehicle upgrades still available. Unlike most of those tanks, most of these are actually useful to the Wave Serpent and warrant a look if points allow.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Crystal Targeting Matrix'''
**A fantastic choice that lets your Wave Serpent close in without completely sacrificing accuracy in order to do so. Arguably essential to the serpent that's transporting Aspect Warriors about, though don't take this if you just plan on sticking with shuriken weapons.
*'''Soul Stones'''
**Wave Serpents, being a defensive tank possibly carrying cargo worth more than it is, definitely want to purchase these if at all possible (especially if you're running Iyanden or Alaitoc). The Serpent Shield pairs beautifully with these, since it reduces the number of FNP rolls you'll need to make against anything dealing more than 1 damage to the tank.
*'''Star Engines'''
**A nifty but somewhat unnecessary upgrade. Wave Serpents have pretty good movement on their own already, but these can help them close the distance to its destination much more quickly for its riders' sake. Consider just sticking with shuricannons if you're going with this upgrade so that it can still fire all its weapons while advancing.
*'''Vectored Engines'''
**Kind of a similar boat as the star engines. They stack well with them, the Serpent Shield and with Alaitoc's attribute, making the Serpent even harder to take down. Taking advantage of these does effectively restrict your weapon loadout to shuricannons if you want to actually have the serpent contribute any firepower, however.
</div>
</div>

===Elites===

*'''Bonesinger (Legends) no longer legends due to having points in CA19''': A psyker that only knows ''Smite'', but can repair friendly {{W40kKeyword|<craftworld> vehicles}} and {{W40kKeyword|wraith constructs}} for 1d3 instead of manifesting Smite in the psychic phase. Noticeably worse than most models capable of repair, since those don't give up their Psychic power to do so (of course that's because this is the only psychic repairman model in the game), and worse than most models capable of healing infantry, since it can't resurrect the dead, but is among the very rare (Cawl is the other one) set of models capable of repairing both vehicles and infantry. It is also the only form of healing support the Aeldari get (as the Renewal Rune of Battle doesn't exist anymore). Another advantage it has over other repair units is that it can still toss out a regular Smite when there's nothing around in need of patching up which is not a bad thing. At 55 points, you have to carefully decide if it's worth fielding over spending the same points on more stuff. It is strictly better than a Warlock and equal to a Spiritseer when it comes to casting Smite, but takes up one of your very crowded Elite slots. Has no gun, but its basic melee weapon does 1d3 damage for whatever reason. [[Not as planned |With base S3 strength and 1 attack, if your Bonesinger is in melee combat, you definitely messed up somewhere]]. If you're taking Wraithlords or Wraithknights and you aren't Iyanden (though even Iyanden lists can hardly say no to a healer if you're fielding anything Wraith), consider making room for one of these in your list a priority. Due to his price tag, make sure you have a cheap screening unit or two (like Rangers or Dire Avengers) so that if the Wraith unit(s) he's following get focused down, he still has someone to cower behind.
**If you are taking one to babysit a Wraithknight you should '''always''' take the Faolchu's Wing so you can keep up with them.
***Tragically, the Bonesingers brief time in the sun has come to an end. They have been relegated under Warhammer Legends and thus are no longer supported by official competitive play. What's worse is that this all but guarantees that they will not get a plastic re-release. It's rather curious, as Bonesingers received a significant point reduction in Chapter Approved 2019 despite their presence in Legends (which also runs the old point values for it).

===={{W40kKeyword|Aspect Warriors}}====
*'''Fire Dragons:''' Even with the changes to Meltaguns and Fusion guns, Fire Dragons are still the same reliable anti-tank Aspect Warriors. Now you see that vehicle, '''FWOOOM''', now you don't. They haven't changed much; they are still your awesome Vehicle and Monster Hunting Aspect Warriors who get to re-roll 1s to wound against {{W40Kkeyword|Vehicles}} and {{W40Kkeyword|Monsters}} in the Shooting phase, plus the Exarch re-rolls 1s to hit. As always, Fuegan gives this buff to ''all'' friendly Fire Dragons within 6". They used to face stiff competition from the Wraithguard for this, and while they still do, they have the advantage of being cheaper and easier to put in transports. Tactics are simple: [http://wasted-knights.blogspot.co.uk/2010/06/joys-of-melta.html Shove them in a Transport, vomit them out next to something big, and pull the trigger. If they are somehow still alive by the next turn, embark and carry on]. [[Meme|Fucking Autarchs.]] An impressively excellent choice. Remember they are 25 points per model, gear included, so you really can't throw these away.
**Unless the Exarch is carrying a flamer (see below), it's generally easier to just never throw the melta bomb, but if you can be bothered to remember this, the bomb is better ''only'' against T8+ {{W40Kkeyword|vehicle}}s, and the benefit against T8 is vanishingly slight. It's also better any time the target is down to 2 or 1 wounds remaining.
**Fire and Fade is an excellent way of getting these guys into cover after blowing up their target.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Powers:''' Vanilla Fire Dragon Exarchs get the bonus of '''Crack Shot''', letting them re-roll 1s for their hit rolls. However, trade this in or pay 1 CP to pick one of these other perks instead/in addition.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Dragon's Bite'''
**The Exarch's accompanying unit may change their fusion gun characteristic to Pistol 1 at the start of their shooting phase. Basically garbage, since neither you nor your opponent will typically have any interest in staying in melee long enough for pistols to come up.
*'''Tank Killer'''
**Your Exarch may re-roll one of the damage dice made by an attack using the Fire Pike, but only against {{W40Kkeyword|VEHICLE}}s. It certainly helps get the most out of that particular gun, though it's still not an ideal weapon to use. Very anti-synergistic - outside of melta range, it helps your damage less than melta does, and within melta range, it has diminishing returns with it.
*'''Burning Fists'''
**Turns your Exarch into mini-Fuegan. Their melee weapon gains AP-2 D2, and grants wound re-rolls. A decent pick for the very likely possibility of melee combat your Exarch will face.
*'''Swift Step'''
**When your Exarch's unit advances, roll 3D6 and discard whichever 2 results you don't like. Extremely handy for getting in close enough to do their job and potentially get out somewhat safely. This should typically be your default - it's the only Exarch power you can take that fundamentally helps the unit do the job you took it to do.
*'''Wall of Fire'''
**Your Dragon's Breath flamer wielding Exarch may forego his overwatch shot against a charging unit and roll 1d6. On a 2+, the charging enemy unit takes D3 mortal wounds. Notably doesn't seem limited by the flamer's 8" range and nothing can really argue with a source of borderline guaranteed mortal wounds.
*'''Burning Heat'''
**Your unit's Exarch forces enemy melee attackers to subtract 1 from their hit rolls in melee against the unit. Basically the Banshee's War Cry ability, and a pretty good defensive perk that stacks with Drain and Lightning Reflexes if you want to go that route.
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Weapons:''' Fire Dragon Exarchs have a couple side choices they can take just in case the basic fusion gun isn't quite packing enough heat for you.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Fire Pike'''
**Pay 3 additional points and trade out the basic fusion gun for +6" of range, which is +3 to the improved damage range as well. This was really nice in 7th edition when you could hide the Exarch at the back to protect them from fire and still have them in Melta range. Now with the 8th Edition wounding rules, it's not even needed; you need to ask yourself "is it really worth the extra 3 points?" The short answer is no; you should be committing the entire unit to killing things, so you shouldn't be attacking things more than 12" out to begin with, and the damage buff in the 6.01-9" band isn't worth the points, full stop.
*'''Dragon's Breath Flamer'''
**Swap your fusion gun for an ''assault'' heavy flamer for no points change. Used to be an infuriating weapon for certain Ynnari Alpha Strike builds that exploited Cloudstrike in 7th to vomit a bunch of double-tapping heavy flamers and melta shots onto your opponent's backline; now, it's more a utility weapon, and one that is criminally underrated. It also discourages counter charges against your Fire Dragons, the value of which really is not something you can just dismiss. Remember, the Exarch can still chuck melta bombs, so it's not like you've given up all your melta.
***The Exarch's Crack Shot (and Battle Focus) doesn't apply to the flamer, and the melta bomb doesn't re-roll wounds against {{W40Kkeyword|monster}}s, on top of only having 4" of range. This means the flamer is often ''worse'' than the fusion gun it's replacing - for example, against TEQ during your Shooting phase, even in the 6.01-8" band. Often, you're better off with the fusion gun, and you can stop counter-charges by having something else, like the Wave Serpent these guys rode in on, charge the potential counter-chargers.
</div>
</div>

*'''Howling Banshees:''' Your absurdly fast Glass Cannon shock troops. Howling Banshees are your swiftest non-flying infantry, having a standard movement of 8" and the ability to advance and charge like your [[Warhammer 40,000/Tactics/Eldar Harlequins(8E)|clowny cousins]], complete with a bonus 3" to their charge if the banshees advanced. This, combined with their overwatch immunity, makes them a fantastic spearhead unit that can tie up enemy models while your slower, more vulnerable units get into position. Offensively, each standard banshee has 2 attacks apiece armed with Power Swords (and Shuriken Pistols, but whatever). This, however, is where they start to struggle. While your banshees have good AP courtesy of their power swords, the S3 arms swinging them means unsupported banshees only wound GEQ targets on an underwhelming 4+ and MEQ/TEQ on a 5+. Defensively, Howling Banshees also find themselves a touch lacking with their T3, 4+ save and single wound per model rendering them very vulnerable to most armies' basic weaponry. That is, however, before you start to factor in their Exarch and RoB support. A Drained target tied up by a squad led by an exarch will suffer a -2 to-hit modifier, which may well make those underwhelming defensive stats completely irrelevant in combat. Additionally, Empowered banshees will easily cleave through GEQ units and can more reliably go toe to toe with MEQ/TEQ targets. What's more is that they can do all of this much more cheaply than your other melee units, but if you want them to do more than just shutting down gunlines, they ''need'' warlock support in order to do so.
**Banshees can have a use as an alternative to Scorpions to shut down a enemy's scary fire support unit. For only 1CP you can use '''Webway Strike''' to place a unit of Banshees near that Devastator Squad and ignore Overwatch. However, they don't benefit from +3" charge distance since they couldn't advance.
**For obvious reasons Banshees excel at quickly shutting down static gunlines. Remember that the salty tears of a Tau or IG player, when bottled, can fetch a high price in Commoragh.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Powers:''' Howling Banshee Exarchs by default have the '''War Cry''' ability, slapping a -1 to-hit modifier on enemies in melee with them. They can replace this with one of these six alternate powers (or you may use the ''Exemplar of the Banshee Shrine'' stratagem to keep War Cry in addition to one of these.)
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Graceful Avoidance'''
**Your Exarch's unit gains a free 5+ FNP against melee attacks. I suppose this can be paired with War Cry, Drain and Lightning-Fast Reflexes for a particularly challenging to kill unit of banshees, but you are giving up a significant amount of potential offensive prowess to do this.
*'''Piercing Strike'''
**For Exarchs with Executioners, whenever they fight, you can drop their total attack output by 1, but add +3S and deal a flat 3 damage per hit. This turns your exarch into a hell of a MEQ/TEQ butcher, with a side specialty of character hunting. If you're taking the executioner, you may as well consider slapping this on your exarch for some added oomph.
*'''Disarming Strike'''
**So this is where Jain Zar's ability went. At the start of combat, your Exarch may select an enemy model within 1" and reduce their attack characteristic by 2, to a minimum of 1. This works on every model from the lowliest guardsmen to the burliest Imperial Knight. This is a great tool for suppressing key combat characters (especially if multiple exarchs swarm the model in question) and can make your Banshees the ultimate tarpit unit.
*'''Whirling Blades'''
**Your Exarch adds 1 to their attack characteristic, 2 if they're using Mirror Swords. A solid power that turns your Exarch into a mini-Jain Zar, but doesn't really help the rest of her squad.
*'''Decapitating Strike'''
**Your Exarch's unmodified to hit rolls of 6 in melee cause a mortal wound on top of any other damage. This means your Exarch deals at least one mortal wound in a round of combat approximately 42% of the time, up to 53% if using Mirrorswords. Another pretty decent power, if considerably more limited and situational compared to others on this list.
*'''Nerve-Shattering Shriek'''
**When the Exarch and her squad successfully charge an enemy squad (or squads), roll a D6. On a 4+, pick an enemy unit within 1" and deal D3 mortal wounds to them. Actually a pretty good power, as your banshees will generally struggle to fail a charge given their insane mobility.
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Weapons:''' Howling Banshee Exarchs also have a collection of exotic blades to swing around if the basic power sword just doesn't quite cut it.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Executioner'''
**Pay 3 points to upgrade the power sword to +1S D1d3. S4 is a nice breakpoint to be hitting given you're only going to be charging infantry with high armour saves anyway, but Mirror swords are actually better in practice, since the unit is doing most of the work, and they're stuck at S3 - and with an Empower Warlock on hand, it's not usually worth taking. The ''Piercing Strike'' exarch power does give it a useful niche as a character/TEQ killer since the bump up to a flat D3 hitting at S6 will outright kill terminators, primaris marines and very possibly an unlucky character. This does turn the unit of banshees itself into a bit of a tax for the exarch however, as they won't be contributing much to the kind of fight your exarch'll be getting into.
*'''Mirror Swords'''
**A free upgrade, the mirror swords drop the exarch's shuriken pistol in addition to the power sword. While this causes her AP to drop to -2 as well, it does allow her to re-roll all failed hit rolls in melee combat. For the discount banshee exarch, this is probably the recommended choice, especially if the squad is going to be thrown at GEQ-type blobs of infantry. Tailor made for the ''Whirling Blades'' exarch power, granting the exarch 5 attacks when using mirror swords!
*'''Triskele'''
**Now officially supported for plastic banshees! For 6 points you trade your Power Sword in for a weapon with 1 less AP, but it can be thrown as an Assault 3 shooting attack instead of firing a pistol. Ends up faring a bit worse than the sword in melee, obviously, since you've paid 2 more points and reduce your AP by 1. Suffice to say, it is completely superior to the pistol due to having triple the "shots" and a standard AP-2 instead of AP-3 ''only'' on a 6+. Oddly, the triskele is considered S4 for the ranged attacks while its melee profile is S-user (S3), so it is more effective at range than in combat. While this makes it perfect for softening up enemies on the charge, it does find itself underperforming compared to all your other options in actual melee. Given that melee is the focus of the banshee's aspect...make of it what you will. It's a shame you can't replace the pistol with this instead, then it'd totally be worth considering more freely.
</div>
</div>

*'''Striking Scorpions:''' A Deep Striking brawler unit, Striking Scorpions are capable of burying a unit in S4 hits with their shuriken pistols and scorpion chainswords. Exarchs benefit from the extra perk of getting an extra attack on a hit roll of 6+ (which cannot proc another such attack if it is also a 6+). This in particular can benefit from the Scorpion's squad-wide +1 bonus to hit things in cover, which helps not only the pistols and grenades - units remain in cover in the Fight phase, they just gain no benefit from it, so the +1 applies in melee as well. Even though your Scorpions have a 3+ armor save to help against most conventional fire, they lack the protection your Banshees have from overwatch or retaliatory melee hits. This means Striking Scorpions require considerably more finesse on the approach than your other melee infantry, especially if you're deep striking them in enemy lines. That said, if/when they make it into combat, their higher innate strength helps them wound targets more easily than your banshees can sans warlock support, which is further supplemented by each model's Mandiblasters; special little guns that go off at the start of combat before any attacks are made. This includes before enemy charges or abilities that let the enemy attack first! While the straight roll of a 6 for them to go off makes them relatively unreliable, having the chance to deal mortal wounds on your enemies for free is nothing to sneeze at. At 45 points for a bare bones squad, they're reasonably cheap for what they do best: bullying backline gunners or exposed characters. Keep in mind, they are very vulnerable in the ranged game and can easily be wiped out if caught out of position.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Powers:''' Striking Scorpion Exarchs utilize the '''Sustained Assault''' power by default, granting an additional attack on a hit roll of 6+ with attacks generated this way not triggering this power. Certainly a good power, but you may want to consider trading it in or paying 1 CP for one of these other fancy abilities instead.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Stalker'''
**So long as the Exarch and his unit are completely on or in cover, enemies suffer a -1 to hit modifier on their ranged attacks against them. Currently, that means Striking Scorpions can also now achieve a -4 to hit modifier just like their fellow Warp Spiders and Shadow Spectres.
*'''Crushing Blow'''
**Your Exarch gets +2 Strength. S10 Scorpion Claw smacks anyone?
*'''Scorpion's Grasp'''
**Your Scorpion Claw deals a mortal wound on top of all other damage on unmodified wound rolls of a 6. Not a bad choice by any means, fishing for mortal wounds is a significant reason to take scorpions after all.
*'''Ambush'''
**Your Exarch and his squad gain Always Fight First while fully on or in terrain features or cover. Your scorpions will probably have more opportunities to take advantage of this mechanic than other units since it's much easier to corner your enemies in the close quarters environments you ideally want your scorpions sticking in. That said, it's still situational.
*'''Withdrawal'''
**Your Exarch and his unit may fall back 6" as if it were their movement phase at the end of the fight phase. This lets your scorpions swoop in, fire their mandiblasters, slap some faces a bit then bounce back a reasonable distance before your enemy has a chance to cut them off or surround them. Just remember not to take this when using attributes or stratagems that let you do this anyways.
*'''Scorpion's Sting'''
**Your Exarch and his unit's mandiblasters add 1 to their rolls, going off on a 5+. Doubling the chance for these to go off is no joke and is certainly one of the better choices for more generalized lists.
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Weapons:''' Striking Scorpion Exarchs have a surprisingly diverse selection of arms and armaments that can deliver quite a sting to a variety of enemies.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Scorpion Claw'''
**Buffed in the Codex and is a viable option again! Pay 12 points to trade your pistol for a S*2, AP-3 D3 damage Power Fist. It no longer has the penalty to hit so you swing at your full WS and your hits can explode without buffs or Shadowstrike. As your Exarch drops his pistol for this, he won't be able to contribute to ranged firepower while in combat. As the default Scorpion chainsword doesn't grant additional attacks, there's never a reason to not chose this over it in combat.
*'''Biting Blade'''
**Gives a 1 point improvement to S, AP, and D, for 8 points - easily worth it against almost all targets. Not a bad choice at all, especially against 2 wound models and characters. Very few things you will send Scorpions against are T10 so Strength 5 is always a nice break point to hit. The cheaper option (if you only want one weapon upgrade) that lets you keep your pistol. And who doesn't love a weeb as hell BFS?
*'''Chainsabres''' - '''Legends'''
**Have your Exarch toss away his chainsword and pistol so he can unleash his inner Ork and dual-wield shooty choppas that shoot choppy dakka. These are awesome in 8th Edition. First of all, you're really now carrying a second pistol, rather than having given up one. Secondly, adds +1A. Costs 12 points total and there are a number of tricks available to the Eldar to get those dice exploding on 5+ or even 4+. If you are fighting infantry instead of assassinating characters this one will be your choice. On a sad note, due to being index exclusive, they don't get to benefit from Biel-Tan's shuriken weapon buffs despite functioning exactly like one.
***'''Modelling Note:''' Need Chainsabres? Clip the right hand off the Biting Blade and use the Exarch's Chainsword along with it to dual wield Chainswords. Add some shuriken pistols and green stuff and you're done.

*'''Shadow Spectres (Forge World)''': For an army known for extreme specialization, Shadow Spectres are oddly flexible in what they can do. Shadow Spectres are quite speedy; a 10" move with the {{W40Kkeyword|FLY}} keyword letting them ignore terrain/units gives these guys excellent mobility for both offense and defense. Offensively, Shadow Spectres can unleash simply surprising amounts of mid-strength firepower with their prism rifles. The ''Coherent'' Mode has reasonable range with a respectable S6 AP-3 letting it burn through MEQ/TEQ targets, while the ''Diffused'' Mode functions exactly as a heavy flamer; D6 Autohitting S5 AP-1 shots will shred GEQ targets and can overwhelm harder targets with massive volumes of armor/invuln saves. And Shadow Spectres can take full advantage of Battle-Focus to get into position and make the most out of either of these two modes of fire. Defensively, the Spectres have the decent 3+ save their Warp Spider and Dark Reaper brethren enjoy, but that's not really where they get their durability from. A built in Holo-field makes all attacks against the Spectres take a -1 to hit penalty at any range, which stacks quite fantastically for {{W40Kkeyword|Alaitoc}} Spectres [[Troll|and can be supplemented with the Conceal RoB and Lighting-Fast Reflexes stratagem to give a staggering -4 to-hit modifier against shooting!]] While this level of to-hit shenanigans may encourage some opponents to attempt to engage your Spectres in melee (which, to be fair, is a notable weakness for your Spectres), a fresh MSU Spectre squad can fire off 3D6 autohitting S5 overwatch shots; ''severely'' punishing opponents who try to get in close. Should they survive or ignore the overwatch, they still suffer mild to-hit penalties incurred by the holo-fields (and potential Drain casts) while your surviving Spectres can simply leave combat come your next movement phase and light them up with all manner of fire. At 23 points a dude, they can get on the pricey side, but they can easily earn back their points against infantry-focused armies.
**Shadow Spectres, being a Forge World unit, definitely seem to have gotten the shaft with the Phoenix Rising book. Unless an FAQ or rule sheet is released for them later down the line, they are the only Aspect Warrior unit to not receive a selection of powers for their Exarch. Yes, even the Crimson Hunter Exarch got them. This stings all the more when they are also the only infantry-based aspect whose Exarchs actually cost additional points to field ''and'' [[Wat|must actually be purchased from Forge World separately from the unit they're supposed to be leading]]. At least the basic Shadow Spectres are good enough on their own they don't really need the Exarch. Just field Irillyth if you want that fear bubble, it's better than the Exarch's version anyways.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Weapons:''' Shadow Spectre Exarchs have a pretty ghastly selection. I'm serious, despite being the only Aspect Warrior Exarch that actually costs extra points to take, none of his weaponry offers anything of note that the basic prism rifle can't compete with (if not outperform entirely). If you're taking an Exarch, it'll likely be for the extra wound as well as the morale roll debuff he inflicts on nearby enemies.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Prism Blaster'''
**Spike your cost from 33 to 38 in exchange for losing 6" of range, a point of AP, and the Heavy Flamer mode, but, on average, double the damage from the single shot mode. While this ''has'' the potential to match the damage of the rest of your squad combined (if you roll well), it's not worth the lost AP, range and Diffuse mode. Stick with the prism rifle.
*'''Haywire Launcher'''
**The Shadow Spectre's answer for any METAL BAWKSES thrown their way; costs 2 points (33 to 35), and is a 24" Heavy 1d3 S4 AP-1 gun that packs on a Mortal Wound per wound roll of a 4+ and D3 Mortal Wounds on a 6+ on top of any other damage it may do to the targeted vehicle. Considering how cheap it is as far as upgrades go, you may actually consider it. But when you consider that the extra 6" of range is basically worthless since the rest of your Shadow Spectres can't contribute shit towards that particular target at that range, and that both of the Prism Rifle modes are more likely to wound that vehicle (from either volume of shots, or harder hitting, higher AP shots) anyways, you may as well stick with the vanilla loadout. Besides, between Dark Reapers, Wraithguard, Fire Dragons, Fire Prisms and Bright Lance/AML platforms, there are plenty of better options for dealing with tanks than this gun.
</div>
</div>

===={{W40kKeyword|Spirit Host}}====

*'''Wraithblades''': Angry Ghost Elves. Expensive and reassuringly scary Heavy Shock Troops that clock in at 35 points per model. Like other Wraith units, they are extremely durable by Eldar standards, but will draw a lot of fire. Massed lasgun or bolter fire ''will'' bring them down, and the Drukhari just see your T6 as adorable (as is tradition in WH40K, constructs like Wraith and Necrons are still vulnerable to poison, even though walker vehicles aren't). Like their ranged brethren, you want to put the unit into a Double Cannon Wave Serpent with a character to support, then drop them next to a high value target, charge in the transport to soak up Overwatch, and watch the carnage unfold.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options:''' Wraithblades have exactly two different melee weapon choices depending on if you want to kit them out offensively or defensively.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Ghostswords'''
**The offensive loadout, as well as your cheapest wraith unit, ghostswords grant an additional attack per model (3 base, 4 on the charge) at S6. Designed to overwhelm enemy units in a flurry of attacks, ghostswords excel at slaughtering any and all infantry they're sent up against and, if supported with a Spiritseer, can even put a dent in lighter vehicles through the sheer volume of saves they'll need to make. Wraithblades with ghostswords ''need'' a Wave Serpent to cart them around if you plan to get them into combat by your second turn, as they cannot afford to take fire while they slowly footslog it across the field. If points are extra tight, you can attempt to ''Webway Strike'' them into a position to charge backline infantry, though the likelyhood of making that charge immediately after deepstriking them is rather low.
*'''Ghostaxes'''
**Your defensive and most expensive wraith infantry unit, ghostaxe Wraithblades hit harder for potentially more damage per swing than their ghostsword variants. Why does this make them defensive instead of offensive? The extra strength conferred by the axe isn't quite enough to give it any higher likelyhood of wounding targets outside the T6/7 range than the swords do and the lowered melee accuracy coupled with fewer attacks per model make it challenging for ghostaxes to compete with the swords without extensive psychic support. In exchange, the Wraithblade does enjoy a very nice 4++ invuln save that can be boosted with Protect for a 2+/3++ T6 unit with 3 wounds per model. Outside very heavy focused fire or mortal wound spam, not much will break even an MSU squad of ghostaxe Wraithblades. While they can stand to risk running across the field a little more than their ghostsword kin can, using a Wave Serpent is still highly recommended to get them into position. Wave Serpents also let you more safely cart along the Spiritseer(s) needed to supplement your Wraithblades' slightly worse combat skills where the odd sniper might be able to sneak a shot in on them otherwise.
*** Try a setup of 10 Wraithblades with Ghostaxes, a Spiritseer with Quicken, two Warlocks with Protect and Enhance, one Farseer with Fortune and whatever you like as a second power, garnished with an Avatar of Khaine. Best served as Alaitoc in order to protect them on their approach. It will be absurdly difficult for your enemy to get rid of that unit, which will still demolish everything in close combat even after losing half of its strength. Although definitely not cost effective (around 1000 points) and not recommended for tournaments, it is massive fun to play. With in total 4 movements, 2 advances and a rerollable charge chances are pretty high that you reach close combat in turn 2.
</div>
</div>

*'''Wraithguard:''' Still as powerful as 7th edition rules with pretty much the same points cost. Clocking in at 38-43 points per model with T6 and 3 wounds, these guys are very tough and have a metric crapton of firepower to boot. Their movement is pretty slow, coming in at 5" and ''lacking'' '''Battle Focus''', and their weapons have very short ranges, so get a Wave Serpent for them to ride in. Add in a Spiritseer/Autarch if you're taking wraithcannons and you've got a pretty nice little combo. They also have quite decent melee ability at S5 AP-1 D1d3, though only A1.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options:''' Just like the Wraithblades, Wraithguard squads can equip one of two guns to deal with opponents at close range.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Wraithcannons'''
**At Assault 1 S10 AP-4 D1d6, they are murder against heavy enemies and strip wounds from Vehicles like crazy. However, remember that Fire Dragons are cheaper, fit into Transports better, and have much the same role, so they do face some competition if you are tight on points. Alternatively, Wraithguard equipped with wraithcannons are fantastic candidates for a ''Webway Strike'', being able to drop in on a key target and unleash a salvo on important backline targets. Having a Spiritseer, Autarch, or Farseer around to help make sure the shots hit home is always recommended. When in doubt, the default wraithcannon will serve you well. Notably, unlike the Dragons, these guys are not only durable, but can Fall Back and then Shoot; this is typically not a concern against the things they're good at murdering, but see below.
*'''D-Scythes'''
**Pay 5 more points per model to turn the wraithcannon into a flamer: Assault 1d3 auto-hit, but only D1, and only 8". The net effect on damage out is that you go from 2.33 (after accuracy and rolling for damage) to 2; switched to a more standard roll once per model with the Codex, so variance is now less of an issue, but you can no longer re-roll the entire unit for a single command point. The damage difference is fantastic against Quantum Shielding, where they actually do far more wounds per point, and the rate of fire increase is easily worth it against hordes, but again, Dragons have better damage out per point (here, you'd always take a Heavy Flamer on the Exarch to compete); the reason to field Wraith is that you can back out of a fight and shoot anyway, which is where D-Scythes really shine, since it's usually hordes who try to stop you this way. 5/10/15 "shots" on a Conscript or Boys blob doesn't sound like much until you realize that it's an average of 4.17/8.33/12.50 dead infantry plus the additional casualties inflicted in the Morale phase. Depending on leadership (4 for Conscripts, 6 for Guardsmen) you can end up causing a significant chunk of damage in the Morale phase, or force your opponent to burn some CP.
</div>
</div>

===Fast Attack===
*'''Vypers''': Extremely resistant (by eldar standards) and mobile heavy weapons platform with 16" of movement, going up to 20" with a maxed out unit. Can take any eldar heavy weapon in addition to the twin catapult (upgradeable to cannon) it gets by default. It's a nice little unit, but the usual rules to moving and advancing with heavy weapons do apply unless you are {{W40Kkeyword|Saim-Hann}}, who can move and shoot these without penalty regardless of weapon thanks to them counting as {{W40Kkeyword|Bikers}}. For most other craftworlds, they do function quite well as an easily repositionable heavy weapon turret that can quickly respond to a variety of threats due to its flexible loadout. Alternatively, you can get two double-cannon Vypers for five shuriken cannon Windriders, who are way less durable, so there is that to consider. [[Awesome|It is also worth noting that Vypers do not suffer from the same degrading stats that other vehicles have when taking damage]]. As of the Codex, they are both {{W40Kkeyword|Vehicle}}s and {{W40Kkeyword|Biker}}s. Typically, you don't want one, [[DISTRACTION CARNIFEX |but three: with shuriken cannons as {{W40Kkeyword|Biel-Tan}}]] or any heavy weapon as {{W40Kkeyword|Saim-Hann}}.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options''': As mentioned, Vypers come equipped with an underslung twin shuriken catapult which can be upgraded into a shuriken cannon if so desired. The main selling point however, would be the heavy weapon loaded on the gunner seat, which can be any one of your five standard heavy weapon choices.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Twin Shuriken Catapult'''
**The default under-gun for your Vyper is your cheapest and weakest option. It does put out a respectable four shots at close range, something your Vypers are easily able to dart in and out of, though a max range of 12" makes it challenging to utilize in conjunction with the much longer reaching turret mounted weapon for non-Saim-Hann Vypers.
*'''Shuriken Cannon'''
**The ideal choice for Biel-Tan Vypers, going with two shuricannons per bike allows each model to churn out a decent six S6 shots to apply pressure on smaller MEQ/GEQ units. For other craftworlds, upgrading the underslung twin shuripult into the cannon allows you to more reliably contribute extra firepower at ranges more in line with your other heavy weapon choice. Saim-Hann Vypers may want to eschew the shuricannons altogether, as their ability to move and shoot their other heavy weapon without penalty could let you opt to simply stick with the higher firing rate the default twin shuripult provides at a cheaper cost.
*'''Scatter Laser'''
**Your GEQ gimper synergizes decently with a shuriken cannon for Vypers in a position to act as turrets and are your cheapest choice in heavy firepower. Going this route means that your Vyper will struggle to break through tougher targets with good armor, but it'll be pretty effective at clearing out standard infantry squads.
*'''Starcannon'''
**The MEQ murderer, the starcannon does very well against most armored infantry due to its good AP values, range, decent rate of fire and variable damage letting it cripple or outright kill multiwound models like primaris marines or Terminators. Where other units taking starcannons would possibly struggle to wipe a MSU squad of MEQ or TEQ in a single turn, two to three Vypers geared with Starcannons can focus-fire down such squads and use their underslung weapons to finish off any survivors.
*'''Bright Lance'''
**Your Monster mulcher will burn through all but the sturdiest of armor. With Vypers priced as they are, a "unit" of three can dart up the map and deal horrendous damage to enemy vehicles or monsters. The lucky shot with the underslung weapon (ideally a shuricannon to maximize wounding potential against such targets at safer ranges) can also provide some extra chip damage in case the (rather limited) bright lance shots fail to fully finish off the target.
*'''Aeldari Missile Launcher'''
**An all-rounder weapon, the AML can be very useful for laying down hard/multi-hitting firepower across the board. Honestly this is probably the one weapon not necessarily recommended for your Vypers. It has double/quadruple the range of your shuriken cannon/catapults which somewhat discourages using it as a gunline unit in addition to its extreme mobility encouraging the run-and-gun playstyle that in turn punishes non-Saim-Hann Vypers with hit penalties for doing so.
</div>
</div>

*'''Windriders''': The eldar jetbikes squads are back in the Fast Attack slot (though to be fair, with the new Detachment rules, they don't even need to be Troops anymore) costing 18 points per model with its default kit. Windrider jetbikes strike a nice balance; they're reasonably durable and are blisteringly fast units that can tote Twin shuripults or shuricannons for maximizing speed, or can take Scatter Lasers for maximizing each model's mid-strength shots. They are great for filling out Fast Attack slots cheaply and excel at flanking enemy positions due to their speed and {{W40Kkeyword|Fly}} keyword. Of special note are {{W40Kkeyword|SAIM-HANN}} Windriders, who are much more effective when used in conjunction with Scatter Lasers given they lose the penalties for moving-shooting heavy weapons. Alternatively, {{W40Kkeyword|Biel-Tan}} Windriders are excellent vectors to abuse shuriken spam at a bargain-bin price tag.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options''': Windriders have only three choices of underslung gun to pick from, all of which perform somewhat similar roles. Adjust depending on what craftworld you're running and whether or not you want them to play a primary role in your army.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Twin Shuriken Catapult'''
**The default gun is probably your ideal choice for the average Windrider. The relatively short range isn't too much of an issue due to how quickly your Windriders can jet across the field and performs comparably if not better than the cannon against your more ideal targets. A great loadout choice for Windriders just filling slots for Brigade detachments.
*'''Shuriken Cannon'''
**Interestingly, the shuriken cannon is now your most expensive choice. A lower number of shots means that even though it hits at S6, it has a slightly lower killing potential against hordes than the TSC and performs relatively the same against MEQ. It does have its uses though; a 24" range expands your threat radius considerably while the potential AP-3 gives it a slightly higher chance at wounding tougher targets with a lucky roll or two. In general though, it might be best to pick one of the other two guns.
*'''Scatter Laser'''
**The longest ranged gun your jetbikes can carry can also be the most temperamental. Its range does allow you to simply have your Windriders camp back and blast enemies downfield, though most craftworlders will suffer hit penalties if they need to reposition for any reason. This isn't a major issue though and can be negated entirely by running {{W40Kkeyword|Saim-Hann}} if you so wish. Honestly a solid choice either way for dealing with infantry focused armies and despite lacking any AP, can still try to deal chip damage to heavier targets by virtue of their rate of fire.
</div>
</div>

*'''Wasp Assault Walker (Forge World):''' You know what doesn't suck? [[Awesome | A War Walker that deep strikes and flies.]] Retains the loadout configurations of the ground walker, 5++, can still form up into squadrons, still has a profile that doesn't degrade with a bonus Wound for good measure, Battle Focus, you name it. What do you need them to do? Shred infantry, murder tanks, hunt TEQs, harass careless characters... the Wasp can do it all. All this, and not hobbled by melee; just bounce out and keep shooting. As a Fast Attack unit, the Wasp Walker is exceptionally durable (by eldar standards at least) and can bring its two heavy weapons of any choice for roughly the same price as single Windrider squad (depending on your loadout, obviously). In Saim-Hann detachments, Vypers are more ideal since they're one of the 3 biker units that benefit from moving heavy weapons without penalty, and are marginally cheaper for it. Alaitoc and Ulthwe are great for more generic lists, while shuricannon Wasps do enjoy Biel-Tan's re-roll support (though you have cheaper, more ideal shuriken platforms for that craftworld perk).
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options''': Despite being Forge World exclusive, the Wasp Assault Walkers' selection is just as standard as its ground-bound variant. Alongside simply being a better War Walker, the Wasp also has the privilege of not taking up your hotly contested Heavy Support slots. You may mix and match these as you see fit.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Shuriken Cannon'''
**A decent choice for Biel-Tan walkers, though it is somewhat point inefficient compared to your Windriders or even the vanilla war walker for this role. Not to say that it doesn't benefit greatly from having Battle Focus and the ability to deep strike and ambush backline gunners, it's just that by the time your walkers are able to deep strike outside your deployment zone, any of your biker units could have easily rushed into position with their superior movement speed.
*'''Scatter Laser'''
**Honestly a pretty great choice for dealing with infantry and arguably your second most cost effective scatter laser platform (Saim-Hann windriders excluded). The sheer mobility and deployment options the Wasp possesses allows it to get into an ideal position to act as a turret to pick away at enemy lines, though the usual problems from the lack of AP and accuracy on the move apply.
*'''Starcannon'''
**Giving your Wasp a pair of these can make it an ideal executioner of smaller MEQ/TEQ squads like inceptors or aggressors while posing a decent threat against light vehicles, but the drastically reduced number of shots will make the Wasp struggle against model heavy units or particularly tough vehicles/monsters. While reasonably priced guns, you should probably field no more than one or two Wasps kitted out with starcannons if you want them to effectively earn back their points.
*'''Bright Lance'''
**A solid choice for your Wasps, kitting it out with two of these lets it effectively hunt harder targets like dreadnoughts fairly reliably. Like most units with access to them, it does face some minor overlap with the AML now due to costing the same and should probably only be picked over it if you are expecting vehicle/monster heavy armies.
*'''Aeldari Missile Launcher'''
**The most flexible, if expensive choice, the AML can effectively balance between GEQ/MEQ targets with its D6 shots or vehicle/monster targets with its single D6 damage shot. The Wasp can take great advantage of this weapon's range alongside its flexible deployment/movement to grant it near perfect coverage over the battlefield.
</div>
</div>

*'''Hornet (Forge World):''' A speedy and sturdy vehicle, the Hornet is essentially a jacked up Vyper: T6 at 8 Wounds with no degrading statline keeps it on the field for quite a while, even under relatively sustained fire at peak efficiency. This can be augmented in a pinch by the inbuilt ''Lightning Assault'' ability, which incurs a -1 to-hit penalty against units targeting the Hornet if it advances. Unfortunately, taking advantage of this ability does disable 5/6 of its guns for the rest of the turn, so outside gimmicky builds this should only be done in relative emergencies. That said, at 50 points baseline with the ability to take up to three Hornets per slot makes them quite reasonable vectors for heavier firepower. Slapping a CTM on them actually makes them the quickest and most accurate platform for such firepower available to you (with the usual caveat the CTM incurs) and should definitely be considered if you're not running Vypers under Saim-Hann.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options''': In addition to the standard fare of heavy weapons available to most vehicles, Hornets also have access to their own unique gun; arguably the best in its arsenal.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Shuriken Cannon'''
**Normally a decent if subpar choice, a hilarious niche the Hornet holds with the shuriken cannon is the synergy it has with ''lightning assault''. As the only weapon at the hornet's disposal that can fire after advancing, taking a pair of these is important for people looking to abuse the hornet's speed and natural defenses while still providing some degree of firepower. Without re-roll support through the Guide psychic power or a tag-a-long Autarch, you will notice a fairly significant dip in the Hornet's accuracy playing this way.
*'''Scatter Laser'''
**The scatter laser, as always, is a great choice for dealing with infantry heavy lists while keeping overall unit price tags comparatively low, though like the rest of the standard heavy weapons, it's arguably outdone by the pulse laser even in this regard.
*'''Starcannon'''
**While the starcannon is just over half the price of the pulse laser, it is completely outclassed by it in every regard. Avoid taking this.
*'''Bright Lance'''
**A decent choice, for an anti-vehicle/monster Hornet, but it's arguably worse than the pulse laser in most matchups.
*'''Aeldari Missile Launcher'''
**The most flexible choice, the AML can effectively balance between GEQ/MEQ targets with its D6 shots or vehicle/monster targets with its single D6 damage shot. Like several of the Hornet's options, it is pretty outclassed by the pulse laser due to the AML's variable and unreliable number of shots and/or damage output per shot.
*'''Hornet Pulse Laser'''
**The signature Hornet pulse laser, while expensive at 25 points per, is honestly the most attractive due to its excellent range, rate of fire, solid AP values and a flat 2 damage letting it slaughter GEQ, MEQ, TEQ, light vehicles and even slightly weaker monsters in quick order. It can also prove effective against heavier targets due to its good strength and AP, all things considered. Pair with a CTM to ensure you can keep accurate on the move.
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Vehicle Upgrade Options''': As fully fledged vehicles, Hornets are completely eligible for any and all vehicle upgrades. Of course, if multiple Hornets are taken in a single slot, all of them must be upgraded in the same manner as one another.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Crystal Targeting Matrix'''
**A fantastic choice that lets your Hornet maneuver without completely sacrificing accuracy in order to do so. If you have the points, you should definitely pair this with a pulse laser Hornet. Of course, as it only removes the penalty for shooting the closest target after moving, do note that positioning is key.
*'''Soul Stones'''
**Like most vehicles, Hornets can appreciate the potential to ignore incoming wounds, but taking these can drastically increase the price of your Hornet(s), especially if they're packing pulse lasers. Like literally every vehicle, don't take these if you're running your hornets under Ulthwe.
*'''Star Engines'''
**A nifty but largely unnecessary upgrade. Hornets are plenty fast as is and there's almost no instance a standard advance won't provide the extra speed you'll need.
*'''Vectored Engines'''
**Now this one has potential for some gimmicky cheese. Pairing this with the Hornet's ''lightning assault'' will guarantee a -2 to-hit debuff on units targeting your Hornet, which stacks with Alaitoc's Fieldcraft attribute for a -3 to-hit at ranges of 12" or more. Use the ''lightning reflexes'' stratagem if you wish to transcend that debuff to a comical -4 to-hit modifier. This can make sure your Hornet is borderline untouchable for a quick repositioning, or you can run two shuriken cannons to zip around and hassle enemy units while they can only shake their fists at you. Just keep in mind that if you're running anything but shuricannons and do this, your Hornet won't be contributing jack shit for the rest of the turn.
</div>
</div>

===={{W40kKeyword|Aspect Warriors}}====

*'''Shining Spears:''' Taking a glance at their stats, they look like Windriders with +1 Ld, but they are more expensive. That is before you look at their special abilities and weapons, and the fact that they got to keep their 3+ armor save. You gain a S6 AP 4 D2 weapon (the Exarch can upgrade to a S8 version for basically 2 extra points) in addition to the twin shuriken catapult, and a '''4+ invulnerable save vs shooting''' allowing for some shoot, charge, withdraw, shoot shenanigans that will leave the Mon'Keigh raging. They have been vastly improved from 7th Edition, and can cause some serious damage when charging, though their cost might be prohibitive. Remember to always shoot the twin shuriken catapults! It's very easy to forget about them. Honestly, they are the hidden gem of the CW Index and borderline OP in a {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari}} list. A minimum unit is effectively immune to morale, and for 102 points, you can either shoot anything 28" away for up to 6 damage (by Advancing and then shooting the Lances at no penalty, thanks to Battle Focus), or shoot and reliably charge anything 22" away for up to 20 damage. Even better with a Warlock Skyrunner along to cast Quicken, of course; an {{W40Kkeyword|Alaitoc}} warlord skyrunner can support them with a morale immunity bubble if you're worried about making the unit large.
** Just make sure you blast Sabaton whenever you declare a charge with these guys. You will thank me later.
**These guys got a significant points drop in CA 2019 which seems fair given that ynnari shining spears are now incomparably inferior to what they once were.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Powers:''' Shining Spear Exarchs have '''Expert Hunter''' as standard issue powers, giving them wound re-rolls against {{W40Kkeyword|Monster}} and {{W40Kkeyword|Vehicle}} units. Like the others, you may replace or pair this power with one of these using the respective stratagem.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Blademaster'''
**Your Exarch's paragon sabre does a flat 3 damage. Generally speaking, hot garbage - the situations in which this is better than a Star Lance paired with Lancer are so few you may as well ignore them.
*'''Heartstrike'''
**Your Exarch's melee weapons generate a mortal wound on an unmodified hit roll of a 6 on top of all other damage dealt. Never take this - like Blademaster, this will almost always behave like Lancer but worse, assuming you take the Star Lance you should be taking.
*'''Lancer'''
**The Exarch generates an additional hit on an unmodified hit roll of 6 while using a Laser/Star Lance. Notably works at range and melee, and will generally behave like +1 to hit, which it will also stack with. This power plus a Star Lance should ''always'' be your choice over Blademaster or Heartstrike; while it will stack with Expert Hunter, if you're choosing between them, Lancer is better against lighter targets, and Expert Hunter is better against heavier ones.
*'''Skilled Rider'''
**The Exarch (and only the Exarch) has a 3++ invulnerable save against shooting attacks (1 better than stock). A Warlock Skyrunner tagging along casting protect gives the Exarch a disgusting [[cheese|2++ invulnerable save]], bar a potential followup FAQ. As of now, there's nothing saying you can't use CP rerolls on them, either. The downside is that you have to take shots on the Exarch to use this, so anything that gets through will kill off the most valuable squad member.
*'''Swooping Dive'''
**While the Exarch is alive, the entire unit adds 1 to all charge rolls made. Generally speaking, the best option available, since Shining Spears ''really'' want to be in melee to do their jobs.
*'''Withdraw'''
**While the Exarch is alive, the entire unit may fall back at the end of the fight phase 6" like it was their movement phase. Useless if your opponent Falls Back (or dies), so it's primarily useful when you're on the ''receiving'' end of a charge, allowing you to functionally fall back, shoot, and then charge, without any CP or specialized detachment investment, instead of being forced to choose between falling back and shooting, or hanging out in melee without the charge bonus to your strength.
**Alternative take, this is far and away the best Exarch power as it allows you to move out of combat in your opponents fight phase to move shoot and charge normally in your turn. Wrap your spears around an enemy unit in your turn preferably one that doesn't pose a threat to them in combat, wait out their shooting phase in combat, then at the end of their turn, back your unit out no strings attached.
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Weapons:''' Shining Spear Exarchs can trade in their Laser Lance for any of the below:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Paragon Sabre'''
**Trap. It costs the same as a laser lance, so it's effectively free, but you not only give up the lance's shooting profile, you drop to S3 all the time, and D1; S3 is useless against the Shining Spears' primary targets, which are {{W40Kkeyword|Monster}}s and {{W40Kkeyword|Vehicle}}s. The Exarch is re-rolling wounds against your main target anyway, and it's not like the Aeldari are starved for To-Hit buffs anyway, so what's the point? The Exarch already has a ton of attacks for a unit leader, so you want to up the quality of your Exarchs attacks which leads to:
*'''Star Lance'''
**Pay 2 more points for a buffed up laser lance with S8 on charges and shooting. A minimum unit is still 2 laser lances and a star lance, but you'll have 4 laser hits and 3 star hits in melee. Easily worth it.
</div>
</div>

*'''Swooping Hawks:''' The anti horde option. Deep Striking, great movement and great firing range means that the unit has an absurd threat range. With their lasblasters being Assault 4 with S3 they do appreciate Doom, to-hit re-rolls and big unit sizes, so going MSU with these is a bad idea. At 13 points per model they will still be comparably cheap. If they get trapped somehow, Skyleap will be a good "get out of jail free" option, which can be used in any turn. Bounce at will, ladies. One may be tempted to make excessive use of their grenade packs by landing next to or flying over enemy units. However, even under best circumstances, a max size unit will achieve only 1-2 mortal wounds against a 10+ enemy unit. Given that their typical targets will be guards, gaunts and similar GEQ, 2 mortal wounds will be probably negligible. By doing so the Hawks are put directly into retribution range, which they will probably not survive. In most cases it will be more beneficial to stay save at 24" and only use the grenade launchers if two mortal wounds will make any impact. [[Derp|For some reason they forgot how to use Haywire Grenades.]] An alternative use may be a minimum sized unit for 65 points without upgrades for objective grabbing and finishing off remains of enemy units. In this case you should field some other means of anti horde weapons as well.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Powers:''' Swooping Hawk Exarchs have '''Herald of Victory''' as their default power, uniquely granting +1 Leadership to all {{W40Kkeyword|<CRAFTWORLD>}} units within 3" of them. This does have its own minor uses, such as buffing a Mind War Farseer or supporting blobs of Guardians. Outside those specific uses, this generic ability certainly doesn't compare to the selection below, so don't feel compelled to waste a command point on HoV's behalf.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Intercept'''
**Your Exarch and the unit accompanying him may reroll hit rolls against units that {{W40Kkeyword|Fly}}. Kind of handy given the general abundance of that keyword, but not the most useful of these powers.
*'''Suppressive Fire'''
**When your Exarch fires overwatch, the charging enemy must subtract 2 from their charge rolls. This can make your Swooping Hawks a fantastic screening unit against combat heavy armies.
*'''Exarch Evade'''
**Your Exarch confers a squad-wide 5+ invulnerable save. A good defensive power for fighting a variety of different armies.
*'''Rapid Assault'''
**When your Swooping Hawks successfully charge/get charged, your Exarch adds 2 to their attack characteristic for the turn.
*'''Fast Shot'''
**Exarchs alter their ranged weapon profiles to Assault 6. [[Dakka|Dakka Dakka Dakka!]]
*'''Swooping Barrage'''
**Your Exarch and his unit add 1 to all Grenade Pack rolls, triggering mortal wounds on a 5 and 6. Just like the scorpions, doubling your chances to deal mortal wounds (especially since all your hawks need to do is land near or move over enemy units) is awesome, especially when running larger units.
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Weapons:''' Swooping Hawk Exarchs can take a power sword in addition to trading in their lasblaster for either gun below:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Power Sword'''
**This does not replace your lasblaster and can be taken with either of the two below. For 4 points it gives you a bit of melee bite, especially because you will typically have them within charge range of a lot of units if you make use of their grenade packs. However, you don't want to have your Hawks to end up in close combat anyway and 2 power sword attacks won't make any noticeable impact. In the end it feels like a waste to spend points on equipment you don't want to use in the first place, and you are better off spending these on other units (like spears for your Warlocks and Farseers).
*'''Hawk's Talon'''
**Lasblaster that costs 3 points more and gives you S5. This is the more straight-forward upgrade for the anti-infantry role the Hawks are designed for. Definitely worth the points, although equally good as the sunrifle. Take whatever tastes better.
*'''Sunrifle''' - '''Legends'''
**Lasblaster that costs 4 points more and gives you -2AP, which will probably negate any armour save your typical targets have. Additionally it causes -1 to Hit if any damage was done. Unfortunately this -1 to Hit debuff lasts only until the end of the turn, therefore it will only have an effect on the consecutive close combat phase, making it rather useless. You could potentially support one of your close combat units like Scorpions or Banshees with it, or imagine the trolling when you kill someone in Overwatch with it! However, most probably you will take this weapon for the AP, not for the blinding effect.
</div>
</div>

*'''Warp Spiders:''' These were one of the main reasons everyone hated playing against eldar in 7th. While they lost most of their mobility tricks, the one they kept is still hilariously good: instead of advancing, they can increase their move by 4D6" and gain the {{W40Kkeyword| Fly}} keyword without any other restrictions. That's right, Warp Spiders are now faster than jetbikes almost half the time. Their guns work in much the same way, 2 Shots at Str 6 with an AP of -4 if you roll a 6. Their Flickerjump ability doesn't actually move them, but imposes a -1 to hit in the enemy shooting phase, although rolling snake eyes will kill one of them. For the love of Khaine keep these guys in cover. A 3+ save isn't much when you're '''always''' in Rapid Fire ''and'' Charge range. 2+ save and -1 To Hit? Now we are getting somewhere! Also because the Spiders rely so much on drowning opponents in saves, and because they can re-roll morale tests, going MSU isn't really the best idea with these guys. With the Fire and Fade Stratagem they also get JSJ back, which again favours big units. The Codex makes them 18 points per model, and confirms that they can use the Jump Packs to Fall Back- in fact, since they get the '''FLY''' keyword when using it, they can still shoot afterwards! Bounce at will! They also finally re-learned how to deep-strike!
**'''How to become [[That Guy]]''': Argue that Flickerjump is not limited to once per turn, but can be activated every time the enemy shoots at you (that's how it's written) and will stack without limits to -3, -4, -5 and so on (that's not explicitly written, but is the wet dream of That Guy). FAQ may change this in the future.
**'''How to counter[[That Guy]]''': Main Rulebook FAQ already indicates that the effects of rules with the same name, do not stack unless they say they do. So while you can activate Flickerjump multiple times RAW, the end result is still only a -1 to hit rolls.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Powers:''' Warp Spider Exarchs have '''Iron Resolve''', granting them rerolls to failed Morale tests. Due to their smaller unit sizes and good leadership, this isn't the best vanilla power and unless you really plan on maxing out squad sizes, there's little need to spend a command point to keep this and whatever much superior ability listed below you want.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Surprise Assault'''
**On a turn in which your Warp Spider Exarch and his unit set up on the field, each model can reroll a hit roll for their deathspinners. A nice supportive power that negates any real need for a Swooping Hawk/Jump Pack Autarch to accompany your dudes.
*'''Withdraw'''
**Like Shining Spears and Striking Scorpions, Warp Spider Exarchs and their unit may fall back at the end of the fight phase 6" as if it were their movement phase. A touch redundant since your Warp Spiders could already use their jump packs to just teleport away without much consequence regardless. Leave the charge-withdraw-charge shenanigans to units designed for melee combat.
*'''Whim of Deceit'''
**Your Exarch and his unit can exit the battle field at the start of your movement phase and redeploy at the end of it via Deep Strike rules. This can only be done once per battle. This is ''slightly'' underwhelming; it can certainly act as a get out of jail free card and it removes the unpredictable variance the jump pack's 4D6 movement can cause, but it seems less useful compared to a few of the other perks here.
*'''Spider's Lair'''
**If your Exarch and his unit are fully on or in cover or terrain feature and an enemy unit successfully charges them, roll a D6. On a 3+, that enemy unit takes d3 mortal wounds. Now this is the kinda power you're going to want! Given how ridiculously maneuverable Warp Spiders are, it's very easy to put them in a position of deep cover where enemy units will be highly encouraged/tempted to dive in after them. That said, savvy opponents will catch onto this tactic quick and will sooner attempt to smoke your spiders out of hiding than risk that kind of damage.
*'''Flickering Assault'''
**Your Exarch and his squad pile in 6" instead of 3". Again, Warp Spiders aren't really meant for melee. Sure, they can survive in it due to their 3+ armor, Flickerjump rules and semi-capable Exarch wielding powerblades, but why would not use units like Shining Spears for that purpose instead?
*'''Spider's Bite'''
**Your Exarch's powerblades get a +1S buff and deal 2 damage per swipe. A much more usable melee buff than the others here, but once again, why not just take a squad of Shining Spears if you want fast, hard-hitting melee units?
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Weapons:''' Warp Spider Exarchs can trade in their deathspinner for either gun below. The Exarch also has the option to pay 4 points to buy a pair of powerblades, very useful now we know they can Warp out of combat at will.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Powerblades'''
**AP-2 and +1A; your Warp Spiders don't want to be in melee, but if they do find themselves there, this is absolutely worth the cost. Still, you're better off saving your points and playing them as dedicated to being shooty.
*'''Two Deathspinners'''
**Warp Spiders rely on popping up in cover near a high value target and drowning them in armour saves. This helps them be better at that. Always take this if you can afford the extra 8 points since it's definitely cheaper than another Warp Spider.
*'''Spinneret Rifle''' - '''Legends'''
**It's 4 points cheaper than two deathspinners and with -4 AP, but with Rapid Fire it kinda sucks. You need to be within 9" to get your 2 shots, which won't happen if you deep-strike them (and you'd need them to get any use out of this). While statistically better than even two deathspinners against high armor value, TEQs and MEQs shouldn't really be your preferred targets in the first place. Not really a good option.
</div>
</div>

===Flyers===
'''Note''': All Eldar Flyers have special rule called "Wings of Khaine", which means they advance 20" without rolling, and more importantly, it gives the old vector-dancer: pivot up to 90°, move 20-60", and then pivot again up to 90°, which is something even Dark Eldar do not get. This rule mean that now Eldar flyers can potentially fly between 2 points all the time, good luck positioning your Crimson Hunters in a 6" bubble near Asurmen.

*'''[[Hemlock Wraithfighter]]''': Easily the best flyer for the [[Craftworld]] Eldar (though it faces some stiff competition from the Dark Eldar for the title of "Best [[Aeldari]] Flyer"), and overall one of the best support units in the list. For 210 points you get 16" Assault 2d3 S12 AP-4 D2 shots that autohit, wound easily, and do lots of damage, though the 16" range does put you in Rapid Fire range of Plasma Guns and Hellblasters, and Bikers and Assault Marines with Melta can easily swoop in and cause serious damage, so be careful with your positioning. The 12" -2Ld aura (-3 with Horrify) to enemies is very strong in this morale meta, especially if it forces your opponent to burn CP auto-passing morale tests. Don't forget the psychic power too! See below for a breakdown, as all have their niche. It also keeps Vector Dancer, so it's easy to keep it on the board, too! One of the reasons this is the best Flyer you can take in the Codex is that it can actually use its automatic 20" advance and still shoot - note that this makes its Movement 20-80", which, combined with the size of its base, means it can reach anywhere on the table from anywhere on the table. It also has built-in Spirit Stones for a 6+++ FNP, unlike the other Flyers, who can't take anything from Vehicle Equipment.
**With the recent increase in crimson hunter exarch point cost, the hemlock may be seeing a lot more competitive play in the near future.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Psychic Powers:''' The Hemlock Wraithfighter, as mentioned, is one of the precious few {{W40kKeyword|Vehicle}} units in the game that is also a {{W40kKeyword|Psyker}}, but it comes with a slight caveat. Aside ''Smite'' (which can be replaced with a Rune of Fortune if you wish), each Hemlock may only know one Rune of Battle and may only target enemy units with it (effectively, they only know the hex half). With only one cast and denial available per turn, you'll have to choose wisely based on how you want your Hemlock to synergize with your army.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
'''Runes of Battle'''
#'''Reveal:''' Use this to negate cover saves on your target. The Hemlock's D-Scythes punch through armor with laughable ease, only models a 2+ armor save and no invuln save to fall back on will have any hope of surviving a blast from these soul-shredders. If you're looking to support other units with this power, take it on a warlock.
#'''Horrify:''' Use this to apply a -1 Ld modifier on your target - if you're trying to make a morale bomb, this is a convenient way to improve your Mindshock Pods.
#'''Drain:''' The target takes a -1 modifier to hit in the Fight phase. For a number of reasons, you should never take this on a Hemlock; use a warlock if you're looking to cripple enemy units in the fight phase.
#'''Jinx:''' Use this to debuff your target's saves (armor and invuln!) by -1. This is the best supporting power for an offensive mindset, as it'll let your Hemlock more effectively engage targets with notable invulnerable saves
#'''Restrain:''' Target halves their Move. Careful not to use this on an enemy Flyer without reading its datasheet - for many of them, what you'll end up doing is applying a buff, since you're reducing their problem of being forced to move a minimum distance. It's not really useful against the Hemlock's preferred targets, but can be used to help hold a particularly fast target relatively close to the rest of your army so they can kill it.
#'''Enervate:''' Target subtracts 1 from their wound rolls. Again, you have far more cost efficient vectors to use these sort of powers, don't take it on a Hemlock.

*'''tl;dr:''' Use Horrify to improve your [[Mindshock Pods]], Jinx to upgrade your Heavy D-Scythes and help the boots on the ground, and Enervate to protect other elements of your army from a potent melee threat. The rest are situational and/or usually best left to the Warlocks to handle.
</div>
</div>

*'''[[Crimson Hunter]]''': This is a Crimson Hunter [[Exarch]] that is even less accurate, since it doesn't re-roll 1s to hit, and is only marginally cheaper. Generally, skip - take an Exarch or don't take a Crimson Hunter at all (although a Hemlock is still better).
*'''Crimson Hunter Exarch''': For 15 points more than the base version it gains re-rolls of 1s to hit or better (see below). Has twin Bright Lances and a Pulse Laser, and can swap the bright lances for starcannons. Re-rolls failed wounds against targets with {{W40Kkeyword|fly}}, but at only BS4+ re-rolling 1s against enemies with Hard to Hit, and with low shot volume for dealing with jetbikes and jump infantry, broadly worse than just taking a Jinx Hemlock for solving the same problems. Oddly enough our dedicated fighter aircraft is worse at shooting down planes than the earth-bound Dark Reapers. As an anti-monster/vehicle or anti-MEQ/TEQ unit, however, CHEs are not to be underestimated. The default underslung Pulse Laser is a significant threat to any multiwound models not packing storm shields and the semi-flexible loadout options give them a little more customizable utility when compared to Hemlocks or standard Hunters.
**However, if you spend a CP to make your CHE have marksmans eye and Hawkeye, it boosts its expected damage output (v a collection of 8 common vehicles) significantly and makes it hit harder than the hemlock for fewer points. Use bright lances with this combo.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Powers:''' One of the defining features the Crimson Hunter Exarch has over its basic version is '''Marksman's Eye''', the aforementioned ability to re-roll hit rolls of 1. While it's good, other powers are better, so you'll only keep it when you want to spend a CP on both. Generally speaking, your best bet is Hawkeye, followed by Hawkeye + Marksman's Eye, but Aerial Predator and Evade can both be used effectively if you have a particular use in mind.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Aerial Predator'''
**Ranged attacks deal 1 more damage against enemies that {{W40Kkeyword|fly}}. D4 pulse laser shots and either D1d3+1 (usually 3) damage starcannon shots, or D1d6+1 (usually about 4.5) bright lance shots. Whichever combo you choose is sure to leave a hell of a dent in a significant portion of the game. Because the damage benefit triggers only against targets you already re-roll wounds against, you should generally always choose starcannons for this, as you'll get +4 damage out of it instead of +2, due to the doubled rate of fire - between the guns being cheaper and your wound re-rolling making up for the strength difference, the starcannons should end up outperforming the bright lances against just about anything. Works wonders considering the pesky primarine repulsor bricks have FLY just as those damn Rapetides.
*'''Evade'''
**A free 5++ invulnerable save. Can't argue with that! Pair with {{W40Kkeyword|Iyanden}}, {{W40Kkeyword|Alaitoc}}, or {{W40Kkeyword|Ulthwé}} for particularly durable combinations.
*'''Hawkeye'''
**You no longer suffer movement penalties for your heavy weapons, letting your CHE actually use its BS2+ fully! This obviously works wonderfully with Marksman's Eye if you choose to keep it using the stratagem to do so.
***As for the math: On the move, your accuracy is 24/36 base, 28/36 with Marskman's Eye, 30/36 with Hawkeye, and 35/36 with both. This means you should ''always'' take this over Marksman's Eye, as you have way to stop moving, and this has a better benefit.
*'''Strafing Assault'''
**Attacks against targets that ''can't'' fly re-roll wound rolls of 1. Absolutely worthless, because it's Marksman's Eye but worse, in that it only works against some targets, and it's also always going to be worse than Hawkeye.
*'''Eye of Khaine'''
**Units targeted by your CHE don't receive the benefits of cover. Since all of your guns are AP-3 or AP-4 to begin with, you can reliably give this one a miss.
*'''Aerial Maneuvering'''
**You may pivot 180° instead of ''just'' 90°. This one is laughably unnecessary since virtually all craftworld fliers can bounce back and forth between any two points on the board like coke addicts thanks to their Wings of Khaine rule. Unless you're trying to confuse and misdirect your opponent with semi-random twists and turns along the way, it's better to pick something that actually boosts your CHE's damage or accuracy.
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Loadout:''' Unlike their standard counterparts, Crimson Hunter Exarchs can choose to pair their built in pulse laser with either two bright lances or two starcannons.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Bright Lances'''
**These are the most expensive choice, but they have the most synergy with the pulse laser. The bright lances also offer the highest potential damage output against a single target; a few lucky rolls can let your Crimson Hunter vaporize a tank with a single S8 four-shot volley. On the other hand, the D6 damage of the bright lances can be just as much of a curse as a boon given the fewer shots per turn and highly variable damage compared to the slightly weaker yet more consistent starcannons.
*'''Starcannons'''
**For the cheaper, more flexible approach. Four S6 shots and two S8 shots can fully wipe a MEQ squad and severely threaten a TEQ squad or monster. The D3 damage of the starcannons might not have quite the same impact the bright lances have against harder targets, though having double the number of shots per gun does let it compete or even outperform it against anything T5 and lower.
</div>
</div>

*'''Nightwing (Forgeworld):''' Corrected from Fast Attack to Flyer in errata. Clocking in at 139 points and effectively benefiting from many of the flyers’ best upgrades, the Nightwing Interceptor is one of the undiscovered gems of the Aeldari hangars. Sure, a payload of just a twin linked shuriken cannon and a twin-linked bright lances might sound like a small arsenal to put on your Flyer of choice, but thanks to the embedded CTM and the quite versatile movement you acquire with the Vector Shift ability, you can dash right in to make that tank at 60” go boom without penalties on to hit. All in all, the Nightwing Interceptor is a little solid choice that won’t turn the tides of the battle by itself, but when paired with other specialist units- which abound in the CW Codex- or even another Nightwing, becomes a fearsome threat for every responsible player. But it comes at a price of being a soft T6 target that tends to run straight into enemy line to use the CTM, so beware you WILL go down and go down you will.

*'''Phoenix (Forge World):''' Corrected from Fast Attack to Flyer in errata. '''Not''' The cheapest of all the Aeldari "Flyers" though it has more wounds then most of the Space Elf flyers AND more shots than all of them too! Built-in CTM means you can shoot the underslung heavy weapons at the closest unit without the -1 to hit penalty. Due to flyer movement this is a little trickier to utilize than other eldar flyers, so watch out. The Phoenix Pulse Laser has one more strength than the normal Pulse Laser, so it's more likely to wound T8 Super-Heavy vehicles like Knights and Baneblade variants than standard bright lances and pulse lasers. Twin StarCannons are very expensive but 4 shots semi-guarantee death (even with the FAQ errata for D3 damage instead of 3). Nightfire missiles averaging 7 shots a turn can be used as an anti-horde option, and includes a debuff if you wound the enemy if you're playing an apocalypse game. Phoenix Missiles are similar to [[starcannons]] with only D6 variable shots and flat 2 damage, so they're unreliable for big damage output but can trim a few enemy Terminators or [[Primaris Space Marines]] from any squad. Finally the nose-mounted Twin Shuriken cannons add more anti-infantry and since they are assault, can shoot even at far targets without the -1 to-Hit penalty.

===Heavy Support===
*'''Dark Reapers:''' Easily one of the best units in the Heavy Support slot in the entire Aeldari Faction (which is saying something, given the competition they face), if not the entire game. Their Reaper Launchers offer you a single shot at S8 AP-2 flat D3 for your vehicle and monster killing needs, or two shots at S5 AP-2 flat D2 for taking out infantry. They always hit on a 3+ in the Shooting phase, no matter what, even if they are shooting at a supersonic aircraft at night on the move. Including movement they have a threat range of 54", although probably they will be sitting still in some warm and cozy, high piece of cover. All in all they are a great firebase that can nuke anything. Due to their reputation your opponent will try hard to eliminate them as soon as possible, which is why you should take extra precautions, especially when fielding larger units. At 34 points per model every loss hurts and reduces their output. While 3-men-squads are too unimportant to bother, you should take care about 5-10 men squads. When deploying them you should consider setting them up either inside a Wave Serpent or at least behind some LOS blocking terrain, so that they are safe in the case that your opponent gets the first turn. For obvious reasons, they love belonging to Alaitoc. If you field a big squad, a Farseer with Guide and Fortune will immensely enhance the reliability and damage output AND will make them an excellent target for the stratagem Forewarned in order to counter any enemy's reserves (remember that Guide will still be active!). As such, your unit will be a massive [[DISTRACTION CARNIFEX]], and hence they will appreciate any additional Protect or Conceal they can get.
**Just remember to kill your opponent's LOS-ignoring units before you disembark these guys from their wave serpent. Losing even two Dark Reapers per turn to basilisk fire is unsustainable.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Powers:''' Dark Reapers Exarchs come with the '''Crack Shot''' ability, allowing them to re-roll hit rolls of 1 for their ranged attacks. But, just like all the other Aspects, they can either trade in Crack Shot or pay 1CP (one use only) to take one of these supplemental powers. Generally speaking, you should do this - unless you're bringing a Tempest Launcher, Rapid Shot is strictly better than Crack Shot.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Rapid Shot'''
**Your Exarch adds 1 to the number of ranged shots he makes per turn. Pretty decent, it lets him double-tap or triple-tap Reaper Launchers and Missile Launchers. This ability is ''better'' for the Tempest Launcher than Rain of Death, below - assuming you would only use it when you ought to, Rapid Shot is negligibly better (8 instead of 7 35/36 shots on average). It's also worse than Crack Shot (which is 76, which is better than the 8/7 this provides), so you should only take this on your Tempest Launcher when you're burning CP on taking 2 powers. On any other weapon you can take, this is ''better'' than Crack Shot, and the effects will stack if you take both.
***Assuming you take this, always swap to the Aeldari Missile Launcher - it will outperform the Reaper Launcher against hard targets. The Tempest Launcher will be better against GEQ/MEQ and the Reaper Launcher better against TEQ, but the AML will generally speaking serve you best, particularly since you can split the squad's fire if you feel the need.
*'''Rain of Death'''
**The Exarch may re-roll the 2D6 used to determine the number of Tempest Launcher shots he makes per turn. ''Never'' take this - Rapid Shot is functionally the same thing but better.
*'''Grim Visage'''
**When an enemy unit is within 6" of a Dark Reaper squad with this Exarch, they subtract 1 from their Leadership. First, if a enemy unit is 6" away from your Dark Reapers, you're either playing them wrong or your opponent is [[Anal Circumference|playing you]]. You already have tons of leadership debuffing abilities and powers, this is not worth either trading Crack Shot or 1CP for.
*'''Long-Ranged Fire'''
**Your Exarch and the squad he's in add 6" to their weapon ranges. This is the only ability that affects the entire Dark Reaper squad and it's pretty ok. Reaper Launcher ranges already cover a majority of any standard tabletop, but this does grant considerable wiggle room for those squads table corner camping.
*'''Deadly Touch'''
**When your Exarch makes an unmodified wound roll of 6 in melee (yikes, why would you allow him to be there?), it deals a flat 2 mortal wounds on top of any other damage done. While that's certainly impressive, I think it goes without saying that this is a dedicated gunline unit. Bar ''the'' most desperate last stand or gamble, there's no reason you should commit these guys to melee; their guns will always do more damage than their Exarch will even if he rolls nothing BUT 6's in melee (unless they're charging something insanely durable, like a forge world titan).
*'''Focused Fire'''
**Your Exarch may target and shoot enemy {{W40kKeyword|Character}} models within 18" of him even if he's not the closest enemy model. Despite the 18" caveat, this is very easily workable and a very good power (especially if paired with a MotIC Autarch/Wraithseer) for when you want to go character killing. The Tempest Launcher can be particularly brutal against GEQ/MEQ characters (especially since it ignores LoS) while the Reaper Launcher serves fantastically for MEQ/TEQ or <10 wound monster characters. Like all exarch powers, there's no limit on the number of squads who can take this power, so stuff 3 MSU squads with this power in a Wave Serpent with a MotIC Reaper Launcher Autarch, a Jinx Warlock and perhaps a Doom/Mind War Farseer. The standard Reapers can split fire at whatever nearby foes might pose a threat to your drive-by deathstar while your Warlock and Farseer debuff the hell out of that character you want dead. Then unload either 4 S8 AP-2 3 Damage shots into that character, or 6D6 S4 shots if you wish to cheekily hide out of LoS, rerolling hits of 1 and all failed wound rolls.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Exarch Weapons:''' The fare afforded to Dark Reaper Exarchs in exchange for their Reaper Launcher.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Reaper Launcher'''
**If you are lacking anti-vehicle measures in your list, it is not a bad idea to keep the default weapon, maximizing the amount of hard hitting shots.
*'''Tempest Launcher'''
**Pay 5 more points to trade in your Reaper Launcher for a [[Dakka |Heavy 2d6 S4 AP-2 D1 weapon]] that doesn't need LoS to help with clearing out blobs. Just remember it has a shorter range than the Reaper Launchers. Although this choice lessens the anti-vehicle damage of your squad, the overall damage will increase, because the Exarch alone will typically take out several single-wound models each round. If you are not super-short on anti-vehicle weapons, this should be your default choice.
*'''Aeldari Missile Launcher'''
**Shave off 2 points from your default Reaper Launcher to get the same versatile AML that we all know and love. As usual, a versatile weapon will always be worse than a specialized one. Although the damage characteristic of the single S8 D1d6 shot is on average slightly bigger (3.5) than flat 3, but luck will typically play against you. When you need lots of damage, you roll a 1, and when the enemy model only has left 2 wounds, you roll a 6. The reliability of a solid 3 shouldn't be underestimated. The multi-shot profile is embarrassingly worse than the Tempest Launcher due to less shots and less AP. The mode of 2 S5 shots is lost completely with this weapon. At least it legitimates for the Starhawk Missile stratagem. All in all, a very rare choice, and in most of the cases you should stick to one of the two weapons above.
*'''Shuriken Cannon'''
**Hard pass. While it is technically the cheapest Shuriken Cannon in the game, your Reapers should never be close enough to make use of it. We have far better options to field Shuriken Cannons. If you are that short on points you can't even afford a basic Reaper Launcher then you should take a long, hard look at your list first.
</div>
</div>

*'''Falcon:''' Your trademark Falcon serves you in the exact same way it always has; a flexible transport that sacrifices some of its capacity and defensive utility for some extra firepower. The inbuilt Pulse Laser is a Heavy 2 S8 AP-3 gun that does a solid 3 damage per shot, making it reasonably effective against any MEQ, TEQ, vehicles and monsters thrown your way. With 6 slots available for your dudes, filling one full of Fire Dragons or Dark Reapers and slapping on a CTM with Starcannons or Bright Lances is a perfectly viable way to transport a small team of your more elite units. That said, it is ''still'' outperformed by Dark Reapers themselves and the Night Spinner as an anti-vehicle or anti-infantry platform respectively, and Wave Serpents still outclass it in general utility, durability and point-cost without competing with other units for a slot. That said, running at 120pts base, it is slightly cheaper than your Wave Serpent and is still very much a transport option if you max out your Wave Serpent capacity (for games/tournaments utilizing datasheet usage restrictions).
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options''': Falcons, just like all the Wave Serpent, can choose to fit its turret with any of the standard heavy weapons available to many of your units. Additionally, like literally all of its sister tanks, it has the option to upgrade the underslung twin-shuriken catapult into a shuriken cannon.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Twin-Linked Shuriken Catapults'''
**Your default underslung gun has its uses in those Falcons that intend to get up closer to the enemy to drop off a squad of Aspect Warriors and is the best choice for Falcons looking to keep it cheap. On your tanks that you plan to keep further away, however, it will probably be in your best interest to upgrade to a shuricannon.
*'''Shuriken Cannon'''
**Upgrading the underslung gun into a shuriken cannon is recommended if you can afford the points; it has a more workable range that can mesh with the rest of your Falcon's armament. Although you could take one on the turret as well, it is recommendet to run the single one in addition to two of your other heavy weapons instead to give your tank a bit more flexibility in its targets.
*'''Scatter Laser'''
**The scatter laser, as always, is a great choice for dealing with infantry heavy lists while keeping overall unit price tags comparatively low, and compliments the underslung shuricannon rather well. The pulse laser can help deal with the targets these two weapons would otherwise struggle to crack. You may opt to supplement this further by having a squad of Fire Dragons ride inside as well.
*'''Starcannon'''
**A good middle of the road option, the starcannon seems a little lackluster compared to your other options in this slot. Its performance is overshadowed by the much superior pulse laser built into the tank, which in turn would appreciate being paired with either the bright lance or AML for more synergy.
*'''Bright Lance'''
**A good choice that pairs rather well with your pulse laser to make a fairly effective anti-tank/monster platform for a rather decent price. Put a CTM on this and slap a squad of Howling Banshees or Dire Avengers inside to help screen or deal with whatever fell out of the enemy transport you just cracked open, and you have a rather flexible unit on your hands.
*'''Aeldari Missile Launcher'''
**While the AML doesn't quite punch through enemy armor the way the pulse laser or bright lance do, it still pairs quite nicely with the former due to their similar strength and damage values. The obvious perk that the AML has over the bright lance is that it can actually deal with infantry blobs without needing a squad of aspect warriors to shore up that shortcoming. Since it is the same price as the bright lance, you may as well take this if you have the points to spare.
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Vehicle Upgrade Options''': Aside one or two exceptions, the Falcon and its sister tanks are the only ones who actually have their pick of the vehicle upgrades still available.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Crystal Targeting Matrix'''
**A fantastic choice that lets your Falcon maneuver without completely sacrificing accuracy in order to do so. Since this benefits the pulse laser ''and'' your turret mounted weaponry, there's really no reason not to take one of these. Arguably essential to the Falcon that's transporting Aspect Warriors about.
*'''Soul Stones'''
**Iyanden and Alaitoc Falcons might find these quite handy since they add a layer of damage mitigation that compliments their Craftworld Attributes rather well. Of course they work just fine for Saim-Hann and Biel-Tan as well, but Ulthwe gains absolutely nothing from these. Outside that last Craftworld, take these if you have a few extra points to spend.
*'''Star Engines'''
**A nifty but largely unnecessary upgrade. Falcons have pretty good movement on their own already, but you won't be able to fire most of your weaponry whenever you take advantage of this.
*'''Vectored Engines'''
**Kind of a similar boat as the star engines. They stack well with them and also stack with Alaitoc's attribute, but a turn you advance with your Falcon is a turn you choose not to shoot anything.
</div>
</div>

*'''Fire Prism:''' The other archetype of Grav-Tank. The Lance mode on its Prism Cannon is probably the highest-stat weapon in the Eldar arsenal (not counting superheavies, of course), with S12, AP-5, and D1d6. The Focussed mode (D3 shots, S9, AP-4, D1d3) is more suited for hunting 2-wound infantry like TEQ, and the Dispersed mode (D6 shots, S6, AP-3, D1) is great against single-wound targets like MEQ. It can [[Awesome |double tap the main gun]] at the same target with the same profile, [[Leman Russ Battle Tank |as long as it moves under half its current move or remains stationary.]] With its 60" range you will probably stay out of range of any counter-fire most of the time, therefore the CTM is optional depending on your game plan. Unless you face a pure horde army without any big targets the Fire Prism will probably always earn back its points, especially if you field two of them and make extensive use of the ''Linked Fire'' stratagem.
** When shooting without ''Linked Fire'' it is advisable to use either the Dispersed or the Focussed mode, because then an unlucky hit or wound roll won't hurt you that much.
** On the other hand use ''Linked Fire'' to make sure the few precious Lance shots come through
** Statistically, Focused mode is actually marginally better than the Lance on anything with a 3+ armour safe at T7 or T8. For your opponent it is also more difficult to negate multiple shots via CP re-rolls of invulnerable saves. However, having a random number of shots as well as a random amount of damage makes this mode less reliable against big targets than the Lance mode.
** When using ''Linked Fire'' the first Fire Prism always resolves all of its shots at the end of the shooting phase, which limits its usefulness on cracking up transports. Because your shooting phase will be over, you won't be able to shoot at the passengers any more.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Options:''' Due to the Fire Prism being a specialized tank, it is considerably less flexible with its optional loadout than your traditional Falcon. That said, you do have your standard choice in underslung weaponry.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Twin-Linked Shuriken Catapults'''
**Your default option for when you want to pay as little as possible for the Fire Prism. If you're planning on using this outside of emergency overwatch shots against backfield deepstrikes, you should probably reconsider what type of tank you want to bring. At the ranges your main prism cannon typically fires at, your TWSC isn't going to be contributing jack.
*'''Shuriken Cannon'''
**Probably the choice to take if you can afford the extra points. At a more workable 24" range, your backline fire support will have a much easier time finding targets to safely engage with this compared to the TWSC.
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Vehicle Upgrade Options''': Just like everything using the Falcon-chasis, your Fire Prism has its pick of all your vehicle upgrades. Arguably only two are useful to it though.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Crystal Targeting Matrix'''
**A fantastic choice that lets your Fire Prism maneuver without completely sacrificing accuracy in order to do so. All profiles of the prism cannon are classified as Heavy and seeing as that's the main reason you're taking one of these over a Falcon or Wave Serpent, you should probably try to make the most out of using it.
*'''Soul Stones'''
**Iyanden and Alaitoc Fire Prisms might find these quite handy since they add a layer of damage mitigation that compliments their Craftworld Attributes rather well. Of course they work just fine for Saim-Hann and Biel-Tan as well, but Ulthwe gains absolutely nothing from these. Outside that last Craftworld, take these if you have a few extra points to spend.
*'''Star Engines'''
**A fairly useless upgrade for your Fire Prism. With a range of 60" on their main gun, Fire Prisms will very rarely be wanting for the extra possible mobility these provide. This is worsened by the fact that advancing sacrifices the use of your biggest selling point of the tank for the turn.
*'''Vectored Engines'''
**These can be ''potentially'' handy in emergency scenarios where you need to get your tank to safety while maximizing their defensibility while doing so. However, the same issues plaguing the Star Engines apply here; traditionally, there will be next to no reason to advance your Fire Prisms under any other circumstance.
</div>
</div>

*'''Night Spinner:''' With 2d6 shots and D2 on its main cannon, all while keeping the rending effect and barrage-like ability to fire without LoS, the Night Spinner is looking good. Be sure to get a Crystal Targeting Matrix so you can make full use of that amazing 16" move. With each Doomweaver shot hitting at S7 and doing that flat 2 damage with potential AP-4 hits, this thing is gonna eat MEQ/TEQ units for breakfast. The only thing that hurts is that it lost the torrent fire mode. Costs 112 points with the catapult, ten points less than a vanilla Falcon.
**For an extra 13 points you can take both a Shuriken Cannon and a Crystal Targeting Matrix which gives you a unit that is very good at both clearing objectives and responding to incoming threats before they happen.
**When combined with the Doom psychic power some night spinners can prove extremely dangerous even to T8 units as re-rolling your wound rolls will yield a considerable number of AP -4 2d shots, only 8 need to get through to destroy a land raider.
**This unit is almost a perfect counter to tau triptide lists, as your opponent will be forced to take these hits on their drones as each hit is 2 damage.
**With the recent points drop they are no longer mathematically worse than a fire prism. I hope you all magnetized.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Options:''' Due to the Night Spinner being a specialized tank, it is considerably less flexible with its optional loadout than your traditional Falcon. That said, you do have your standard choice in underslung weaponry.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Twin-Linked Shuriken Catapults'''
**Your default option for when you want to pay as little as possible for your Night Spinner. Though ideally you won't want enemies within the range these can fire at, they can contribute more consistent firepower to help supplement your main cannon's variable number of shots.
*'''Shuriken Cannon'''
**Probably the choice to take if you can afford the extra cost. At a more workable 24" range, your Night Spinner will have a much easier time finding targets to safely engage with this compared to the TWSC. Its strength values and potential rending also compliment your main Doomweaver cannons, seeing as how they function virtually identically to each other.
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Vehicle Upgrade Options''': Just like everything using the Falcon-chasis, your Night Spinner has its pick of all your vehicle upgrades. Arguably only two are useful to it though.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Crystal Targeting Matrix'''
**A fantastic choice that lets your Night Spinner maneuver without completely sacrificing accuracy in order to do so. Due to not needing line of sight to target enemy units, this upgrade isn't usually necessary, but it does keep your options open when you're in doubt.
*'''Soul Stones'''
**Iyanden and Alaitoc Night Spinners might find these quite handy since they add a layer of damage mitigation that compliments their Craftworld Attributes rather well. Of course they work just fine for Saim-Hann and Biel-Tan as well, but Ulthwe gains absolutely nothing from these. Outside that last Craftworld, take these if you have a few extra points to spend.
*'''Star Engines'''
**A fairly useless upgrade for your Night Spinners. With a range of 48" on their main guns and the ability to ignore line of sight, your Night Spinners will very rarely be wanting for the extra possible mobility these provide. This is worsened by the fact that advancing sacrifices the use of your biggest selling point of the tank for the turn.
*'''Vectored Engines'''
**These can be ''potentially'' handy in emergency scenarios where you need to get your tank to safety while maximizing their defensibility while doing so. However, the same issues plaguing the Star Engines apply here; traditionally, there will be next to no reason to advance your Night Spinners under any other circumstance.
</div>
</div>

*'''Support Weapons:''' Now a single model unit rules-wise, with one guardian per gun being some sort of decoration. Similarly to the War Walkers, your Support Weapons are the "poor man's" option for Heavy Support slots. Costing between 35 to 60 points per platform, depending on your flavor of gun, these are excellent long range fire-support options for players looking to save points for other slots or when trying to cheaply fund a Brigade detachment. Additionally, like War Walkers, Support Platforms can be taken in squadrons of up to 3 models in a single slot and act as individual units after deploying in coherency. If positioned carefully, you can set up and move your Support Platforms so that everything on the table is within their firing arcs. This is made considerably easier when two of the three gun choices ignore line of sight when firing, letting you stick them in deep cover for extra protection. Another positive note is that as a {{W40Kkeyword|GUARDIAN}} unit, it can take advantage of the ''Celestial Shield'' and Ulthwe's ''Discipline of the Black Guardians'' stratagems to bolster one of your gun's durability/accuracy in a pinch (admittedly probably best saved strictly for D-Cannon platforms though). That all said though, these Support Weapons are one of the two vehicles in the Craftworld Codex that lack the {{W40Kkeyword|FLY}} keyword, and unlike the War Walkers, also lack any non-webway gate deepstriking options (stratagems or otherwise). This hampers their mobility and deployment options significantly, makes them vulnerable to being tied up in melee and prevents them from being able to scale buildings beyond the first floor. Because of this, you need to be very mindful with their initial deployment if you want to get the most bang for their buck.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options''': In addition to a standard issue Shuriken Catapult (presumably wielded by the otherwise decorative Guardian Defender included with the platform), your Support Weapons come in three unique flavors, each with their own uses.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Shadow Weaver'''
**Discount Night Spinners, a single Shadow Weaver platform costs a third of the cost of a vanilla Night Spinner tank and packs half the total number of shots the tank can bring. Since it's not remotely as maneuverable or quite as durable as the tank, why bring it? Well, a maxed out "unit" of Shadow Weavers is a point cheaper than the Night Spinner with 3d6 LoS-ignoring shots that can be split against multiple targets as opposed to 2d6 shots that can only target one unit. Against GEQ-type armies or units, this is considerably more useful since the extra point of strength and damage per Night Spinner shot is negligible against such targets. Additionally, where the Night Spinner suffers from a degrading statline, your three 5-wound platforms don't and due to their smaller size and ability to spread out independently, are much easier to tuck away into deep cover where the enemy can't see/shoot them.
*'''Vibro Cannon'''
** Long time ago it used to be a pretty funny weapon, now it just makes d3 shots with S7, AP-1 and d3 damage. The more Vibro Cannons shoot at the same target, the better the wounding and the AP. However, because it needs a line of sight and the model being relatively small it will be rather challenging to find a target to shoot at, and pretty much impossible on maps with ruins. Even if it finds a target, most of the time it won't do any notable amount of damage. The only funny thing is that if the target does get damaged, it may not advance in the next turn - this can be used to troll large horde units of Orks or Tyranids. As it is now the cheapest option, it is worth considering a little more freely.
*'''D-Cannon'''
**The most expensive option with half the range of the other two guns, but with considerably more punch. Like the Shadow Weaver, the D-Cannon can shoot its d3 shots at targets regardless of LoS. This compensates for its otherwise average range, especially when those shots are slamming those targets with staggering S12 AP-4 hits that'll ruin the day of any multi-wound targets relying on toughness and/or high armor saves to protect it. In terms of utility and range, units like your Fire Prism will outperform it individually, though you can take two of these guns for slightly less than the cost of a single Fire Prism for more average shots while also having access to those Guardian stratagems mentioned above.
</div>
</div>

*'''War Walkers:''' For 55 points you can get one of these on the table with two Shuriken Cannons, or replace said Shuricannons with any other standard Heavy Weapon. The codex returned its ability to flank, essentially allowing you to deep strike, though with an additional caveat of placing the unit within 3" of a table edge on top of the usual 9" from enemies rule. As far as a Heavy Weapon platform goes, it sacrifices staying power for mobility and durability, making it more of a skirmisher-type unit than an anti-tank/monster platform. A 4+/5++ on top of a decent toughness with the ability to flank makes it ideal for assaulting backline infantry or objectives deeper in enemy territory. It also has the benefit of being a modestly priced Heavy Weapons platform and no degrading statline to hamper its accuracy or mobility the more damaged it is. Recommended in Ulthwe or Biel-Tan detachments where it appreciates the extra durability or Shuriken Cannon support respectively. Also an ideal Heavy Weapons platform if you're looking to cut down on costs for other unit categories. Falls behind Dark Reapers, Fire Dragons, Fire Prisms or Wraithguard in the anti-tank/monster game, and if outflanking your enemy isn't a priority, Falcons/Wave Serpents or Windriders are recommended Shuricannon platforms instead.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options''': Your War Walkers are arguably your single-most cost effective platforms for your standard Heavy Weapons, given what they bring to the table for how much you're paying. As mentioned, each War Walker can take two of these in any combination you desire.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Shuriken Cannon'''
**Shuriken cannons are a great choice for War Walkers looking to take advantage of their impressive mobility to harass key infantry units in your Opponent's flanks or backline gunners. This also makes them very well suited as part of a Biel-Tan detachment.
*'''Scatter Laser'''
**The cheapest choice, and not a bad one at that. Two of these on a War Walker brings the total cost to a rather respectable 49 points for 8 S6 shots a turn.
*'''Starcannon'''
**A good middle of the road option, the starcannon is somewhat lackluster unless taken in pairs. Even then, a maximum of 4 shots will not fully clear out any single standard infantry squad in one turn. The lower strength value of these guns compared to your bright lance or AML also makes it somewhat challenging for these to contribute against targets larger than said infantry units. That said, if you have a couple of War Walkers equipped with these, they can prove very effective at slaughtering MEQ targets wholesale.
*'''Bright Lance'''
**A good choice, especially when taken in pairs, for dealing with enemy tanks or monsters. Despite their mobility, War Walkers are quite content to sit in one spot as needed and just provide heavy fire to key targets across the field
*'''Aeldari Missile Launcher'''
**Probably the best choice for mixed lists if you have the points. Two AMLs effectively gives each War Walker either 2 S8 AP-2 D1d6 shots or 2d6 S4 AP-1 shots for a very wide variety of targets. Just like the bright lance, taking two of one or one of each will double the cost of your War Walker, so make sure you plan accordingly for it.
</div>
</div>

*'''Wraithlord:''' The Eldar answer to the Space Marine Dreadnought. Bare bones, it runs 80 points at S7, T8, 10W, compared to the S6, T7, W8 Dreadnought statline, which will likely cost more on average once both are kitted out. The Wraithlord does contend with a degrading statline unlike its Imperial counterpart, but several of the Craftworld attributes can help mitigate that downside (big shoutout to Iyanden). So while the degrading statline sucks, there are a lot of ways to plan around it. With a loadout of two heavy weapons and up to two shuriken catapults/flamers, it is a very flexible and capable choice for your heavy support slots, but it does suffer from some notable competition. War Walkers offer a cheaper, more mobile platform for heavy weapons and have an inbuilt invuln save for extra protection while your tanks can hit harder from farther away. And of course, Dark Reapers. However, unlike literally anything else in this category, Wraithlords are CQC monsters, even if you don't give it the Ghostglaive. Additionally, as a Spirit Host unit, it can be supported by Spiritseers and Wraithseers for extra synergy. Do also note that as a Wraith unit, the ability to be healed not just by Bonesingers, but the Tears of Isha stratagem shouldn't be overlooked either. On a modelling note, the plastic Wraithlord has some pretty cool looking assembly options like a sniper rifle style Bright Lance in its hands or the ability to attach the Heavy Weapons to its arms so your model looks far more unique and less derpy than the Bird Walker if that is important to you.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options''': In addition to the optional and exclusive Ghostglaive, Wraithlords have their pick of any standard Heavy Weapon topped off with a couple of wrist-mounted choices that can let your giant statue fill a number of roles on the field.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Shuriken Catapult'''
**A Wraithlord's default wrist guns that are free of charge. These are always a viable choice, but typically you'll be sticking with them when you want a mid to long range loadout on your Wraithlord.
*'''Flamer'''
**One of the few units in your entire army list that can take standard flamers, and damn does it know how to use them. Though taking one or two of these can spike your Wraithlords' point cost, they are shockingly effective on CQC loadouts where the (2)D6 autohitting shots can soften up targets on the charge (yours or theirs). If you're loading your Wraithlord with longer ranged firepower via bright lances or missile launchers, you'll probably want to avoid taking these so you aren't overpaying on the Wraithlord.
*'''Shuriken Cannon'''
**Shuricannons are fantastic for CQC Wraithlords, as they are the only "heavy" weapons that don't drop accuracy on the move; a necessary act for one seeking to punch things. They synergize decently with the shuripults if you want to keep it dirt cheap, though the flamers are arguably a better pairing all things considered.
*'''Scatter Laser'''
**The cheapest choice, though the increased volume of shots will be tempered by the accuracy reduction induced by movement and the degrading statline. Still, it's a decent anti-GEQ choice for Wraithlords keen on keeping some distance between them and their foes.
*'''Starcannon'''
**A good middle of the road option, the starcannon is somewhat lackluster unless taken in pairs. Even then, a maximum of 4 shots will not fully clear out any single standard infantry squad in one turn on their own. The lower strength value of these guns compared to your bright lance or AML also makes it somewhat challenging for these to contribute against targets larger than said infantry units. That said, a pair of shuripults costs nothing and can potentially pick off the remaining squaddies left in the wake of these bippers.
*'''Bright Lance'''
**While the bright lance is a decent answer for bigger, stronger targets like enemy tanks and monsters, the Wraithlord arguably isn't a good wielder of them. Sure, it can take two of them, but unlike a lot of the vehicles that can take these, Wraithlords have no way to compensate for accuracy debuffs from its damage table or simply from moving. Additionally, if armed with a Ghostglaive, it is much more effective at tank busting in melee with its four S9 attacks hitting at the same AP and Damage values these guns have. Take these on something like a War Walker if you desperately need them.
*'''Aeldari Missile Launcher'''
**A mixed bag, the AML can function against a much wider array of targets than a lot of the Wraithlord's other choices here, but it is tied with the bright lance as the most expensive option and encourages a more sedentary playstyle for the Wraithlord; something other units in your army can do more cost effectively than it can. A pair of these matched with a couple flamers can unleash 4d6 shots (2d6 at AP-1 of course) against a single target and be semi-reliably followed up with a charge for maximizing damage, though such a loadout maximizes your Wraithlord's point cost and the problems of accuracy on the move with these still haunt it.
</div>
</div>

*'''Warp Hunter (Forge World):''' A Falcon-chassis tank that decided the Pulse Laser didn't have enough oomph, and tossed the twin heavy weapon turret in exchange for a giant Distortion gun. The onboard D-Flail isn't quite as powerful as a conventional D-Cannon (S10 as opposed to S12), but it makes up for this slight weakness by a longer base range of 36" and a slight bump up from Heavy d3 to Heavy 2d3 when targeting infantry blobs of 10 or more models. Additionally, it has an autohitting Heavy d6 12" S10 AP-4 D1d6 flamer profile for ripping apart anything that gets a bit too close. While these weapons make the Warp Hunter quite versatile against infantry and vehicles alike, it does have a few shortcomings compared to the other tanks in your Heavy Support list. At a reduced price point of 175 (much more reasonable for what it was before CA 2018), it is still your single-most expensive Falcon chassis tank while not really offering anything that outshines one of your cheaper options. Yes, the D-Flail can punch holes in tanks, but Fire Prisms can do so for cheaper and farther away. The rift profile may shred infantry, but the Night Spinner does so with more shots and more consistent damage for considerably less. It is, however, flexible enough to perform well for any real role in your list and is certainly worth considering if you can spare the points.

*'''Lynx (Forge World):''' At a staggering 325 points base, the Lynx comes stock with a Shuriken Cannon and a Lynx Pulsar with the option to trade in the Shuricannon for any other standard heavy weapon, as well as its Lynx Pulsar for a Sonic Lance. Depending on how dead you want your targets, the Sonic Lance fires off a slew of shots that always wound infantry on a 2+ at AP-3, or you can stick with the vanilla Lynx Pulsar for some long range heavy bombardment depending on the mode. In addition to the sheer firepower this thing can lay on the table, it's capable of shifting from a ground-bound hover tank into a skyward Lumbering Flyer to deliver its steaming payloads on unsuspecting targets far more quickly than they may have anticipated. Keep in mind that as a lumbering flyer, it's not nearly as maneuverable as any other flyer the eldar can take, so plan ahead before you rush your pricey flying tank into a tight spot. At toughness 7 with 16 Wounds and only a 3+ save (and no -1 to hit even while airborne), it can very easily succumb to massed fire if carelessly positioned.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options''': Your Lynx has two primary choices for their main weapon and is privileged with its fair choice of standard heavy weapons it can sling as a side arm.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Shuriken Cannon'''
**Your standard choice and debatably the weakest choice. Sure, you can advance and still fire this, but that niche is completely unnecessary on a vehicle that can turn itself into a standard flier and back at will. You'll either want to take something to reduce the cost you're paying or compliment the main gun you're using.
*'''Scatter Laser'''
**The cheapest choice and the best for maximizing how many shots you put out a turn. This should probably be your "default" if nothing else really interests you.
*'''Starcannon'''
**Normally a decent enough choice, the starcannon offers very little to compliment the lynx compared to your other options. As they say, go big or go home.
*'''Bright Lance'''
**A decent enough choice to pair with the pulsar, aside the drop in strength, the bright lance shares the same AP and damage values as the Salvo mode, making it a fairly decent follow up against hard targets.
*'''Aeldari Missile Launcher'''
**A solid enough choice for either of the main guns, the AML can both compliment the strengths or offer coverage over whatever main gun it's tethered to. Just note, if you take one of these with the sonic lance, you're spending 405 points on a single 16 wound tank ''without'' upgrades. Consider what else you can buy for that pile of points (and cash, if you're looking to actually buy one) before you settle on it.
*'''Lynx Pulsar'''
**The default cannon and a pale imitation of the "real deal" pulsars that can be found among your super-heavy tanks, the Lynx Pulsar has two firing modes. The first, Salvo, fires two S12 AP-4 Dd6 shots a decent 36" down range, making it an effective vehicle/monster killer. The second mode, Saturation, fires 48" 2d3 S7 AP-3 Dd3 shots across the table, making it better at dealing with MEQ/TEQ squads. If you want to take a pulsar but don't want to be burdened with some kind of Super Heavy detachment tax, then the lynx pulsar ''can'' fill that role. You'd be better off just taking two Fire Prisms for what you're paying though; literally every profile on their prism cannon is better than what the lynx pulsar provides for under half the cost.
*'''Sonic Lance'''
**For a staggering 60 point upcharge, you get a single profile cannon with a tragically impotent range of 18". However, it makes up for this literal shortcoming with a hellstorm of fire; 3d6 shots at AP-3 will shred all {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} on a 2+, letting it punch through any single squad a turn, bar perhaps the biggest blobs of Boyz/Gaunts. Against anything else, it wounds non-infantry on a 4+, reasonably better than many dedicated anti-infantry guns in the game. This would be a fantastic weapon if not for the fact that it brings the Lynx just shy of 400 points, a price that could be better spent on cheaper, cost effective options that can do the job just as reliably.
</div>
</div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Vehicle Upgrade Options''': Like a lot of your fully fledged tanks, you may choose to enhance the Lynx with the standard selection of bits and baubles that improve its performance offensively and defensively.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Crystal Targeting Matrix'''
**As ever, this one's practically a must-have; especially if you plan on utilizing the Sky Hunter ability. A measly 5 points to prevent accuracy dips when you move your lynx is definitely worth it, even if it does restrict your targets a bit.
*'''Soul Stones'''
**Another worthy upgrade to consider, a 6+ FNP can come into play quite frequently given the 16 wounds the Lynx has (in an ideal world). Pair this with the usual Iyanden/Alaitoc or Students of Vaul craftworld attributes to maximize your durability.
*'''Star Engines'''
**Given that you can shift the Lynx into a flier with a minimum movement of 20", you're ''not'' ever going to find a situation you regret not taking this. So don't.
*'''Vectored Engines'''
**Less of a hard pass compared to the star engines, the vectored engines are marginally more useful when you're trying to get the lynx out of dodge. However, as every gun on the lynx is classified as heavy (bar the shuricannon), you're sacrificing all the firepower you spent 330-410 points on for the turn. Probably not something you should be planning on doing.

*'''Firestorm (Forge World, Open/Narrative Play only):''' A Falcon-Chassis tank that functions as an effective anti-air platform, the Firestorm's main gun fires 12 Scatter Laser shots up to 60" away, gaining a to-hit bonus against any units with the {{W40Kkeyword|FLY}} keyword, and suffering a to-hit penalty against anything without it. Otherwise, it is functionally a Falcon, retaining the same statline and vehicle equipment options available to the other tanks in this category. It is even able to transport up to 6 models, even if the range on its Scatter Lasers encourages a sedentary gun-line role for the tank. Despite Forge World providing a data-sheet with updated rules for the Firestorm, it is unfortunately restricted to Open and Narrative play; no point values have been assigned to this unit and, for the foreseeable future, will not be.

===Lords of War===

*'''[[Wraithknight]]:''' Your one and only non-Forgeworld Lord of War and the eldar answer to the Imperial Knight. While the Wraithknight has a couple advantages over the Imperial Knight in the form of flexible psychic support, it is ''very'' outclassed in terms of durability and firepower and can still underperform even with babysitter Farseers and Spiritseers doing everything in their power to help your WK earn its points back. Thankfully GW has noticed the general lack of Wraithknights in official tournaments over the past few years and has consistently been lowering its point cost to encourage its use. Unfortunately, even at a newly revised 285pts base, it's still a bit too expensive for what it brings to the table (you could bring ten Wraithguard for the cost of one Heavy Wraithcannon Wraithknight. Just saying, 10 S10 AP-4 shots are better than 4 S16 AP-4 shots if you're looking for anti-tank/monster options). In larger point games (1800+) it might be worth bringing as a semi-[[DISTRACTION CARNIFEX]] because despite its impracticality, it is still a very powerful unit that can and will kill everything it engages at range or in melee.
**It's worth noting that with the Wraithguard vs Wraithknight comparison one important factor is missing - range. Beyond 12" Wraithguard kill absolutely nothing and a full unit of 10 have to slog it across the table on foot unless you spend a CP to drop them in or throw points at a Vampire.
**Apparently someone took one of these to an ITC major and actually did pretty well. The strategy revolves around using Expert Crafters for consistency with its Wraithcannon shots, along with a wraith host spiritseer giving it a 4++ every turn with the Spirit Shield stratagem.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options''': Wraithknights come stock with Titanic Wraithbone Fists (which you won't be using believe me) and a stomp equivalent Titanic Feet that can be used now as a weapon (now go to), Titanic feet if chosen as a weapon gives 3 attacks instead of 1, pumping Attacks up to 12 (4*3), having S:8, AP-2 and dealing d3 damage each. And this is a statistically better weapon against everything short of another Superheavy. Each Wraithknight also comes with a primary weapon loadout that you can compliment with an assortment of shoulder mounted Heavy Weapons.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Shuriken Cannon'''
**Shuricannons are a legitimate waste of a slot here. Wraithknights don't suffer hit penalties for moving and shooting heavy weapons, so the one advantage the Shuricannon has over the other heavy weapons that you can still advance and shoot (with penalties). Skip this one.
*'''Scatter Laser'''
**The Scatter Laser is the best anti-horde choice you can pair with your Wraithknight. Two of these can help alleviate the low shot volume the double Heavy Wraithcannons suffer from and can still contribute towards harder targets for the lucky chip damage here and there. It's also your cheapest choice, so stick with it as the default if you're short on points.
*'''Starcannon'''
**A good premium option that pairs very nicely with the Suncannon for rather obvious reasons. Great for taking on anything with half a decent armor save or multiple wounds to their name but is your most expensive shoulder option.
* '''Double Heavy Wraithcannons'''
**A go to long-range vehicle/monster wrecker now each one is an Assault 2 S16 AP-4 d6 dmg, which will punch through most armor saves and wound basically everything in the game on a 2+. While these potent cannons can cast down everything from Leman Russ tanks to other Wraithknights, it does nothing to ease how many points you'll be spending to field this beast.
* '''Suncannon and Scattershield'''
**Still a viable TEQ killer now Heavy 2d6 AP-3 and 2 dmg. A bit more survivable with a scattershield but quite a bit weaker with variable shots and still forced to roll to hit after. But if you look closely you'll see it's actually Avenger knight minigun, but it's not Heavy 12.
* '''Titanic Ghostglaive and Scattershield'''
**Now the cheapest variant, and the most situational dealing flat 6 damage and wounding everything on 2+ due to Str 16, but with only 4 attacks hitting on 3+ it might find its use only in matchups against other Superheavies, ranged loadouts in particular. If you're expecting the enemy titans to be CQC oriented, it may be in your better interest to take the Wraithcannon loadout. Against anything else, take the Suncannon or Wraithcannons; stomping attacks are considerably more effective against everything else.

</div>
</div>

*'''Skathach Wraithknight (Forge World):''' Essentially a premium Wraithknight, the Skathach variant shares the exact same statline of the standard WK, though it serves a significantly different role than the basic version. To start, the Skathach lacks the melee potential the normal Wraithknight has since it can't take the sword. Additionally, all of the guns available to it lack the eye-watering strength that the Heavy Wraithcannons posses. In exchange, the Skathach is far more equipped to face infantry hordes and lighter vehicles due to its much higher shot volume compared to its basic brother. Additionally, the regular WK lost the ability to deepstrike in the transition from 7th to 8th where the Skathach retains this ability as well as the ability to leave the battlefield and re-deepstrike on the next turn. Take caution, however, as if the game ends before it gets a chance to return, it is considered slain.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options''': Skathach Wraithknights share the same Titanic Wraithbone Fists, shoulder-mounted heavy weapons and Titanic Feet that regular Wraithknights have. Unlike the regular version, the weapon loadout available to the Skathach Wraithknight is a bit more flexible this edition than it used to be; it can mix and match the primary weapons with each other as you see fit. Take two, one of each, or pair one or the other with a scattershield depending on what you want this behemoth to do.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Shuriken Cannon'''
**Shuricannons are a legitimate waste of a slot here. Skathach Wraithknights don't suffer hit penalties for moving and shooting heavy weapons, so the one advantage the Shuricannon has over the other heavy weapons is rendered moot. Skip this one.
*'''Scatter Laser'''
**The Scatter Laser is the best anti-horde choice you can pair with your Skathach Wraithknight. Pair these with your Deathshroud Cannons to erase blobs indiscriminately. It's also your cheapest choice, so stick with it as the default if you're short on points.
*'''Starcannon'''
**A good premium option. Great for taking on anything with half a decent armor save or multiple wounds to their name but is your most expensive shoulder option.
* '''Deathshroud Cannon'''
**Take these when you want your Wraithknight to become the biggest Warp Spider in existence. The loss of templates hurts the effectiveness of this once formidable blob blender. It retains its two firing modes; being able to fire a focused blast at 10" for Heavy 2D6 shots at S7 AP0, or a dispersed blast at 48" for only Heavy D6 S8 AP-2 shots doing D3 damage apiece. Similar to its tinier Deathspinner cousins, the Deathshroud cannon gets a juicy AP-4 for every wound roll of a 5+ you get. While it will still effectively end whatever infantry (and even some light vehicles) it blasts with this gun, it can no longer indiscriminately erase those 20+ conscript blobs marching across the field in one shooting round the way it used to.
*'''Inferno Lance'''
**This puppy is essentially what you get if you upsized a Fire Dragon's Fusion Gun and churned out the dakka; 24" Heavy D6 S8 AP-4 for D6 damage that lets you roll 2D6 and discard the lowest roll at half range. This gun will let you ruin the day of whatever tank that looks at you funny. Keep in mind though, unless all those puny little infantry models within that 12-24" range are either more eldar or armed with nothing but knives, expect heavy amounts of return fire.
* '''Scattershield'''
**The option to make your overcosted titan less so, this will give the SWK a 5++ at the cost of one of its other unique cannons. Honestly the best choice since it'll help stretch those 12 wounds that keep your Wraithknight remotely effective while giving you 40+ points to spend on more infantry or upgrades for other, more cost effective vehicles you may be fielding with it. A Deathshroud+Scattershield SWK is the cheapest loadout available if you're looking to pinch pennies.

</div>
</div>

*'''Scorpion (Forge World):''' Your first superheavy tank and the most suited to taking on anything from infantry blobs to enemy tanks. With a BS of a 2+ and a range of 60" on the twin Scorpion Pulsar, you can safely camp this in your back line and thoroughly erase any single unit with its jaw-dropping 4d6 S12 AP-4 D3 (D6 on wound rolls of 6+) shots a turn. The inability to target more than one unit a turn with this potentially high shot volume does mean that your super tank will struggle to earn back its points in most standard games (and at 700pts base, it's got a ''lot'' of work to do to be worth it). Defensively, it is equipped with the same Distort Fields all your Forgeworld Titanic vehicles come with and is relatively stacked at T8 and 26W. Take it as either Iyanden, Alaitoc or make one of the custom attributes the Students of Vaul to capitalize on this durability.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options''': The Twin Scorpion Pulsar is your only primary weapon and the single reason you'd consider bringing this tank. It does, however, have one standard heavy weapon equipped in addition that you can equip as you see fit.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Shuriken Cannon'''
**Shuricannons are the default option and the only one that will work if you need to advance your Scorpion for some reason (though you ''really'' should never advance the Scorpion, or that's 700 points you're not using that turn). It is a...decent choice that has the potential to rend, but the inconsistency of it isn't really worth taking over the scatter laser.
*'''Scatter Laser'''
**The Scatter Laser is the cheapest choice and arguably the best to pair with the pulsar for laying down as many shots a turn as possible. 4 S6 shots at a 36" range is quite nice as a source of supplemental firepower for what it costs. May as well take it.
*'''Starcannon'''
**The starcannon, while great for killing MEQ targets, lacks the firepower damage, volume and range that would allow it to perform even decently as an addon to your Scorpion. Pass.
*'''Bright Lance'''
**A pretty hard pass. You're not hurting for high strength or high AP firepower, and the very variable d6 damage just can't compare to the flat 3 or 6 damage the pulsar deals per wound.
*'''Aeldari Missile Launcher'''
**Another weapon to skip. It doesn't matter if you want to use the single shot S8 d6 damage profile or the d6 shot S4 profile, it's just far too tempermental to pair with the pulsar.

</div>
</div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Vehicle Upgrade Options''': The Scorpion can take any and all of the standard vehicle upgrades, and with the points you're spending on it, several of these are seriously worth considering.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Crystal Targeting Matrix'''
**A measily 5 more points lets your Scorpion keep its fantastic BS 2+ after moving, even if it limits your targeting options. For anyone looking to take advantage of the Scorpion's distort fields, this is a must.
*'''Soul Stones'''
**Given you're spending at least 700 points on this tank, spending a mere 10 more points to give it a 6+ FNP should be an easy sell. With 26 wounds, you won't be hurting for opportunities for this to come into play and when paired with Iyanden or Alaitoc, possibly even Bonesinger support, you'll have a disgustingly durable tank. That said, if you have a Fortune Farseer or for some inconceivable reason wish to run this in an Ulthwé detachment, you can skip this.
*'''Star Engines'''
**Never take this. There's virtually never a time you'll be hurting for an excuse to use the extra d6 movement when you advance, even if it makes it easier to improve your distort field saves.
*'''Vectored Engines'''
**Kind of a similar boat as the star engines. Yes, especially when paired with Alaitoc, the -1 to hit on top of the distort field invuln can make your tank especially frustrating to target. But as it's only active if you advance (and it's very challenging to find a legitimate reason to advance and forgo a round of shooting your Twin Scorpion Pulsar), it isn't worth investing in.

</div>
</div>

*'''Cobra (Forge World):''' The premier anti-tank/superheavy available to craftworlders at a hefty 550 points, the Cobra's main armament consists of the D-Impaler; a Heavy d6 S16 AP-5 gun that does an extra d3 mortal wounds per wound roll of a 6+ you make. When it has 15+ wounds (or 8+ for {{W40Kkeyword|Iyanden}} Cobras), it hits on 2's, so you'll have plenty of opportunities for those wound rolls! Aside this primary gun, it only has one other standard Heavy Weapon (of your particular choice) that it can fire, meaning that while this tank can all but ensure whatever it shoots gets thoroughly erased; it is particularly ineffective against horde/infantry-focused armies. Like most {{W40Kkeyword|Titanic}} models of the Craftworlders, the Cobra ''can'' take advantage of inbuilt Distort Fields to confer movement-based invuln saves, though this can only be reasonably done for the 9-16" 5++ range (with CTM support to remove the penalties somewhat). Should your Cobra become the center of your opponent's attention, you'll probably want to make sure no allied models are within a foot of the thing should it be close to death; if you roll a 4+ when the Cobra dies, everything within 2d6" takes d6 Mortal Wounds as the Cobra implodes into a Warp-Rift. You could try to take advantage of this and suicide bomb a severely wounded Cobra deep into enemy lines to quite literally rip a hole in their defenses, though it requires a fair bit of luck on your part and plain ignorance on your opponent's. Still a pretty hilarious way to get the last laugh though.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options''': The D-Impaler is your one and only main weapon and the single reason you'd consider bringing this tank. It does, however, have one standard heavy weapon the Cobra can side arm in situations that call for it.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Shuriken Cannon'''
**Shuricannons are the default option and the only one that will work if you need to advance your Cobra for some reason (though you ''really'' should never advance the Cobra, or that's 540 points you're not using that turn). It is a...decent choice that has the potential to rend, but the inconsistency of it isn't really worth taking over the scatter laser.
*'''Scatter Laser'''
**The Scatter Laser is the cheapest choice and arguably the best to pair with the D-Impaler for laying down as many shots a turn as possible. 4 S6 shots at a 36" range is quite nice as a source of supplemental firepower for what it costs. May as well take it.
*'''Starcannon'''
**The starcannon, while great for killing MEQ targets, lacks the firepower damage, volume or range that would allow it to perform even decently as an addon to your Cobra. Pass.
*'''Bright Lance'''
**A pretty hard pass. You're not hurting for high strength or high AP firepower, and the singular d6 damage can't really compare to the 2d6 damage each D-Impaler shot deals, ignoring the potential for mortal wounds.
*'''Aeldari Missile Launcher'''
**Another weapon to skip. It doesn't matter if you want to use the single shot S8 d6 damage profile or the d6 shot S4 profile, it's just far too tempermental to pair with the D-Impaler.

*'''Vampire Raider (Forge World):''' After a year and a half of being merged in 7th, the two Vampires are separate entries again. The Vampire Raider distinguishes itself by its insane transport capacity of 30 units that can easily drop passengers up to 70" away in only one turn. That's fuck'n fast! in addition, the Raider enjoys a rather sturdy 32 wounds at T8 with the Distort invuln save usually reserved for Titans. Unlike said titans, it's actually rather likely the Raider will be making full use of the 5+ or 4+ profile. The built in CTM allows it to fire off its Scatter laser and both Twin Pulse Lasers (Heavy 4 S8 AP-3 3 damage profiles each) against the closest threats without penalty; a plus for a rather fast aerial unit (note that with the Chapter Approved update it always counts as Stationary when moving, so the CTM has no use anymore). Not only does it enjoy the Wings of Khaine special rule, but it may also shift to a Hover mode to remain sedentary should you need. Doing so costs it Hard to Hit, Wings of Khaine and Airborne abilities, so be cognizant of its surroundings if you do so. Keep in mind, the Vampire Raider benefits from Craftworld Attributes, so taking it in an Iyanden or Alaitoc detatchment will maximize its efficiency/durability and is highly recommended (especially if you want to drop 10+ Wraithguard/blades on your opponent all at once) In addition Errata gave it the Colossal Flyer rule that the other Superheavy Flyers have, adding 12" to ranges meaning bolters right under it can't Rapid Fire at them anymore, and it never gets a penalty for firing heavy weapons.
** Both of the Vampires technically do not count as a Flyer Battlefield Role (FOC slot) as they are Lords of War, so they are able to control objectives, and do not count as Flyers for "Boots on the Ground".
*'''Vampire Hunter (Forge World):''' Essentially a Scorpion that moves faster, has more HP, -1 to hit and is currently out of production from FW. Being able to fire the Pulsars in any direction was a huge improvement. Twin Pulsar is Heavy 4 D6, Str12, AP-4 D D6 and 6's to wound do an extra D6 damage, and it never gets a penalty for firing heavy weapons. With Craftworld attributes affecting vehicles this is one of the best flyer available. If you go Iyanden your precious LoW is staying effective for twice as long; something no other army can claim. Alaitoc and Colossal Flyer will always confer a -2 to hit which can go even to -3 with stratagems which is hilarious for a LoW. With 8 pulse laser shots and 4d6 S12 pulsar it can be the most annoying DISTRACTION CARNIFEX to get rid of and surely the most mean.
** Errata gave it the Colossal Flyer rule that the other Superheavy Flyers have, adding 12" to ranges meaning bolters right under it can't Rapid Fire at them anymore. And it no longer gets -1 to hit when moving (which will be nearly always).
** Chapter Approved 2017 puts the cost of The Vampire Hunter (not the Raider) at a ridiculous 1500pts - a whopping 62% increase!
** Both of the Vampires technically do not count as a Flyer Battlefield Role (FOC slot), but Lords of War, so they are able to control objectives, and do not count as Flyers for "Boots on the Ground".

====Conclave Titans====
These are the largest and most powerful aeldari war machines you could ever use... if they weren't so eye-wateringly expensive to both buy and field. The only realistic time you could expect to field even one of these would be in an Apocalypse game, or in a ≥3000 point list and even then, they'll leave virtually no wiggle room for any other units you might want to support them with. Another significant downside is, unlike literally everything else listed on this page, Revenant and Phantom titans are {{W40Kkeyword|<Conclave>}}, not {{W40Kkeyword|<Craftworld>}}. According to forgewold xenos index the <Conclave> is the same as craftworld. Therefore you can use stratagemts, powers and get attributes. If you do field one of these titans, take advantage of their prodigious range to rain hell upon your foes from the other side of the table (or from a table away, if you're playing a big enough game) to keep these behemoths alive.

*'''Revenant Titan (Forge World):''' Elegant scout titan that can {{W40Kkeyword|fly}}, and is the equivalent to the Imperium's Reaver/Scout Titan. With a toughness of 9 and 32 wounds, you would expect that the Revenant titan would be rather difficult for your opponent to put down without a titan of their own. But, having only a 3+ Armor save and an invulnerable save ''entirely'' reliant on moving/advancing as far as possible means that even S5 weapons with any AP value stand an honest chance of shaving off some wounds. What's worse, is that while the Revenant has an impressive 32" movement (with an auto 18" advance) and the ability to give no fucks about ground-bound things like terrain and enemy units, the Revenant's damage table drops that movement down to 24", 18" and 8" respectively, making it mandatory to advance just to keep some semblance of an invuln save as it gets worn down. Granted, now that this thing costs 2000 (seriously, what the flying fuck?) points for only 8 more wounds than a single Wraithknight, who can also have an invuln save not reliant on movement, there is absolutely no reason to take this. Ever. Literally everything it can bring to the table even other eldar ''Titans'' can do cheaper.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options''': Revenant Titans are equipped with a Titanic Stride (S9 AP-3 D3 stomp attacks that make 3 hit rolls per attack like the Wraithknight's stomp attack) and a Cloudburst Missile Launcher ( 2d6 S8 AP-2 D1d3 that adds +1 to hit against units that {{W40Kkeyword|fly}}). Outside of that, they have exactly two choices in primary armament.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Pulsar'''
**The default loadout, each Pulsar is a Heavy 2d6 S12 AP-4 cannon that does d6 damage on a normal wounding roll, and 2d6 on a wound roll of 6+. All in all a pretty good weapon, but again is relatively underwhelming for a Titanic unit given that it's a Heavy weapon as opposed to a Macro. I guess at least it can fire Overwatch and has massive range?
*'''Sonic Lance'''
**One of the few good blob-blenders that still exist. Each Sonic Lance, while pitifully ranged at 18", fires an unholy 3d6 shots that wounds Infantry on a 2+ with an AP of -3 to erase most standard saves. That said, taking these means that your Revenant is always going to be in range of some heavy hitting weapon or another. Additionally, if your opponent is smart and fielded Monsters, Vehicles, or a Titan of their own, then you'll only hurt those on a 4+. Not ideal odds for such a pricey unit. Unless your opponent is idiotic enough to field only infantry against your Revenant, it's probably better to stick with the Pulsars. 60" range great for staying out of mid-to-long ranges and S12 will wound basically all infantry on a 2+ anyways with most vehicle/monsters getting hit with a harder AP that wounds on a 3+ doing d6 damage instead of just 1 at the cost of d6 more shots (inconsequential for most infantry units anyways, with their 5-10 man average).

</div>
</div>

*'''Phantom Titan (Forge World):''' At 60 wounds with access to the only Macro weapons in the entire Aeldari arsenal, the Phantom is basically the best (and only real) option when it comes to dealing with equivalent enemy titans. Despite nearly being twice as durable as a Revenant titan with access to heavier firepower, the Phantom clocks in at only 400 points more than its half-sized kin. In addition to all the other standard Titanic unit rules, the Phantom can also buff other {{W40Kkeyword|<Conclave>}} units (if you're playing in such an absurdly high-point Apocalypse game to begin with) by letting them re-roll failed to-hit rolls once every turn.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Weapon Loadout Options''': Phantom Titans are equipped with a Titanic Stride (S9 AP-3 D3 stomp attacks that make 3 hit rolls per attack like the Wraithknight's stomp attack) and a Voidstorm Missile Launcher ( 2d6 S8 AP-3 D1d3 that adds +1 to hit against units that {{W40Kkeyword|fly}}). Outside of that, they have three interchangeable weapon choices in primary armament per arm and a support weapon mounted in the chassis.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Starcannon'''
**The default gun wedged into the missile silos, the Starcannon is the default and cheapest choice in this slot. With only two S6 shots, there's precious little this weapon can really contribute to targets that you'll actually want your Phantom Titan engaging. Given you're already nearly 2400pts for this, just go ahead and spend the extra 7 points to replace this with a bright lance. You have ''far'' more cost effective means to field starcannons if you really want them.
*'''Bright Lance'''
**For just a couple pennies over the starcannon, give your Phantom a single shot gun more in line with the Voidstorm Missile Launcher profile (S8) that can be used in conjunction with it as a finishing flourish, as needed. May as well take it.
*'''Dire Pulsar'''
**The longest ranged weapon available to it, as well as its default weapon, the Dire Pulsar is the first of the Phantom's two Macro weapons. Firing 2d6 shots at S14 at AP-5 120" downrange, whatever it's hitting is not getting an armor save. Additionally, like the smaller Pulsar, a 6+ wound roll causes it to do 2d6 damage as opposed to just a d6.
*'''D-Bombard'''
**Though D-Strength is gone, S16 at AP-5 comes about as close to it as you can get anymore. While it sacrifices the range and volume of shots the D. Pulsar fires off, this Macro weapon causes 3 Mortal Wounds per wound roll of a 6+ in addition to the 2d6 damage each salvo causes. It's a tough call, but this makes the D-Bombard more ideal for dealing with enemy titans compared to the Pulsar.
*'''Wraith Glaive'''
**The anti-titan melee option, this Sx2 (S18) AP-5 armblade does a flat 9 damage a cleave, proccing additional attacks on hit rolls of a 6 (with the extra attacks not proccing more). Since this will bypass Void Shields, it's honestly the most reliable anti-titan weapon you can give the Phantom. Additionally, while not exactly amazing, it does have a built in starcannon to help contribute a smidge more firepower to compensate for the loss of other ranged options. Unfortunately, it's also the only primary weapon that costs additional points to take over either of the guns.

===Fortifications===

*'''Webway Portal''': For 120 points you can finally pick this giant arc. Fluffwise, it is the very reason of Eldar trollobility to suddenly appear and disappear without a trace. Crunchwise, it's a massive arc with T8, 14 wounds, 3+ and 5++ which lets you deepstrike one unit a turn. It can be set up anywhere on the battlefield more than 12" from enemy deployment zone and their units during your deployment (and like all scenery must be 3" away from any other scenery - which makes it VERY difficult to place)(remember, hills[i.e. simple LOS blocking terrain] are not considered to be terrain features) and, like any other structure, is completely immobile. During deployment, the owning player may set up any of their {{W40kKeyword|AELDARI}} units in the Webway (aka Necron style Tomb World), where-upon they may be set up 9" away from enemy units and completely within 3" of the gate in a fashion very much like standard deep-striking. Of course, if the gate is destroyed, all units that were in the gate's Webway (This doesn't affect units using the '''Webway Strike''' stratagem ) are slain. On the one hand, it does let you save some CP for not using aforementioned '''Webway Strike''' Strat and allows you to deep strike units the stratagems do not cover, like Wraithlords and Support Weapons. You can also use this in tandem with said stratagems; if you utilize the '''Cloud Strike''' Stratagem for fliers or grav-tanks, you can use the Portal to Deep Strike a squad of Howling Banshees or Wraithguard, as an example. Still, the restriction for model placement (9" away from the enemy and within 3" of the gate itself) can be problematic against horde-based opponents, [[Not as Planned | who can clog up the gate and keep anything from actually leaving it]]. Even though it is impressively durable, without built-in weapons to defend itself with, a canny opponent can shut down hundreds of points worth of your army without even firing a shot. The model itself is still very nice though, so don't restrain yourself from using it as a piece of terrain for Aeldari-themed battlefields if you don't actually want to use it.
** Keep in mind, that to use Webway Gate specific Stratagems from Harlequins Codex you need to have a small detachment of this nice and deadly murderclowns (and pray to any god of your choice for this to be FAQed and '''Labyrinth Laughs''' and '''Webway Ambush''' to be accessible to all {{W40kKeyword|AELDARI}}, as it actually affects all of them). You also need a Fortification Detachment just to field the Portal, so to effectively use this piece you need to chew up 2 detachments.
** Also remember that it actually isn't a bad way to make sure that your Vehicles survive if you aren't going first, as the gate has high toughness and has a 5++. Something to consider for that Fire Prism of yours.
** Deploying this thing is difficult, due to it's massive footprint and that it can't be within 3" of any other scenery. Just hope that your table has a 12" x 8" area of totally clear terrain otherwise you can't place it. (remember, hills[i.e. simple LOS blocking terrain] are not considered to be terrain features)
** RAW all models must be set up "Wholly" within 3" of the portal. Since the struts are so small, RAW you can't deploy anything larger than a Wraithlord because anything bigger wont' fit completely within 3" - meaning even the photo on the box of the WraithKnight is illegal. Look for an FAQ or just play RAI. Or just model your Phantom Titan to be balancing on one tiptoe, ballerina style, on a 3" base.
***Or just put it between the arcs, which, considering their size, won't be a problem.
**** The arcs must be set up with the bases 5" apart (the tips would be about half an inch apart), the overlap between the 3" from either leg (since you must measure to the nearest part of the webway portal) is too skinny to fit anything between them while being within 3" of either leg. RAW you don't measure from the arch, you measure to the nearest part of the arch... which is the base.[[File:geometry3.jpg]]
***** To be honest, it may simply be more practical to upgrade to the Skathach Wraithknight if deepstriking Wraithknights are such a priority. It'd be roughly the same cost as a Webway Portal + Wraithknight combo anyways, though it comes with an arguably more flexible weapon loadout and the ability to leave the battlefield and re-deepstrike at will; an ability the one-and-done Webway Portal doesn't confer. Additionally, the Skathach is only limited by the standard Deepstriking rules when it comes to deployment where as the Standard WK would be forced to come out of the extremely visible and extremely present Webway Portal, making it harder to predict and prevent deployment. Finally, you'd only be utilizing just the one extra detachment for the Superheavy as opposed to two for the Superheavy and Fortification detachments.

==Ynnari Overview==
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
{|
|[[File:Ynnead rune 1.jpg|50px|left|]]
| The reborn aeldari from all walks of life, united in their war against Slaanesh under the banner of Ynnead and his chosen champions. At least in fluff, or in notably segregated squads as far as the crunch goes. All non-character Ynnari units function virtually identically to their original counterparts, with some minor caveats listed below. To declare a detachment {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari}}, simply include Yvraine, the Visarch or the Avatar of Ynnead in any Battle-Forged detachment and choose to make it a Ynnari detachment. In this instance, all {{W40Kkeyword|<Craftworld>}} units become {{W40Kkeyword|Reborn Asuryani}}.
|}
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
====Restrictions====

Bad news out of the way first. Once a detachment is designated as {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari}}, it and all units within lose access to all vanilla eldar Attributes, Relics, Stratagems, Psychic Disciplines and named Characters. For Craftworlders, this means all of the Phoenix Lords, Eldrad, Yriel, Illic and the Avatar of Khaine may not be included in a Ynnari detachment. In order to remain Battle-Forged, these detachments must follow the Battle Brothers rule and maintain only Craftworld, Drukhari or Harlequin units in any single Ynnari detachment. Craftworld Aspect Warriors also lose access to the list of Exarch Powers introduced within the Psychic Awakening book, restricting them to their default abilities. Additionally, {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari}} units cannot be targeted by or benefit from an allied vanilla detachment's psychic buffing or debuffing powers.

====Pros====
*The Ynnari have access to some ''really'' good Warlord Traits and Relics, some potent enough to consider taking at least a small detachment of Ynnari just to use them.
*When benefitting from Soulburst, Ynnari factions ''can'' be among the best CQC factions in the game; a borderline universal WS of 2+ on the charge makes units like Harlequin Troupes, Wraithblades or Shining Spears absolutely menacing. This is more a testament to those Craftworld, Harlequin or Dark Eldar units themselves being beasty units, not really by any virtue of Strength from Death.
*Yvraine and the Visarch are both fairly good characters in their own right. Yvraine's psychic prowess can rival or even surpass a Farseer while the Visarch functions both as a cheapish bodyguard and potent beatstick. The Yncarne can be quite effective as well, but its point cost requires you to really build around it to get the most out of it.
*Taking any of the eldar factions as Ynnari no longer strips them of their unit's faction wide rules, such as Battle-Focus or Power from Pain.
*Soulbursts now affect every unit in your list across the board, which is notably better than before.

====Cons====
*When your units aren't soulbursting, they may as well not have any attribute at all.
*To say the Soulburst mechanic itself is a pale shadow of its former glory would be a dramatic understatement. It does absolutely nothing for any infantry or vehicle designed for ranged combat and melee units need to be the ones charging into combat to really take advantage of it themselves.
*This faction has a notorious history of back-to-back nerfing extending all the way back to late 7th edition. They certainly deserved it at first, even during the first half of 8th edition. However, from how zealously GW has continued to bludgeon this faction with the nerf bat, it's not that far of a stretch to say that running a Ynnari detachment is a significant downgrade from just sticking with the classic factions at this point.
*Despite characters such as Jain Zar or Eldrad being considered part of the Ynnari in every respect in the fluff, no named characters are allowed in the Ynnari outside of the original Triumvirate.
*Outside the Triumvirate, the Ynnari have no native units truly their own. Every single unit they can draw from is simply copy-pasted over from one of the original eldar factions, meaning for the purposes of matched play, you're just playing a slightly gimped version of that army. This rings extra true for Aspect Warriors, who despite receiving fancy new interchangeable Exarch Powers, [[Fail|get to take none of them if taken as Ynnari]].
*Your new stratagems, as mentioned, are garbage. With maybe one or two notable exceptions, your stratagems have very situational uses or are completely useless at worst and are overpriced or just copied from one of the original eldar factions at best.
*Losing access to the Runes of Battle/Fate/Fortune and Phantasmancy Discipline flat out sucks for a lot of your dudes. Indeed, even your craftworld Ynnari units can't take advantage of enemy debuffing powers like Jinx or Doom anymore.
*The Triumvirate special characters are arguably an overcosted tax to run a Ynnari detachment. The only real exception to this is Yvraine, who ''is'' a potent psyker in her own right. This issue has been slightly addressed through the occasional point cost drops they've received.

====Special Rules====
*'''Reclaim the Galaxy:''' Objective Secured, Reborn Style.
*'''Allies of the Reborn:''' {{W40Kkeyword|Beast}}, {{W40Kkeyword|Incubi}} and {{W40Kkeyword|Scourge}} units may be included in a {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari}} detachment without disabling Strength from Death for anybody else, though they themselves don't get the ability. Explicitly for Dark Eldar Ynnari lists, but worth noting if you plan on taking another Ynnari detachment using them.
*'''Revered Figurehead:''' Yvraine or the Visarch may embark on any {{W40Kkeyword|Aeldari Transport}} even if it normally restricts models to a different faction.
*'''Reborn Asuryani - Strength from Death:''' Whenever ''any'' unit is destroyed, all Ynnari units fight first in the fight phase for the rest of the turn. If they already could or just charged, they also add +1 to their hit rolls. This is your one and only attribute and it's...ok. This greatly benefits units such as your Howling Banshees, Striking Scorpions, Shining Spears or virtually anything in your army with "Wraith" in its name, but it also does absolutely nothing for units that do all their work at range, such as Dark Reapers or Fire Prisms. Even if your units aren't necessarily guaranteed to fight first due to AFF's interactions regarding enemy charges, the +1 to-hit gained from charging with the ability active is certainly nothing to scoff at.

====Warlord Traits====

Due to the way Ynnari detachments now work, so long as a named {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari}} character is in the detachment, you may take it as a Ynnari detachment and name any generic HQ as your warlord if you so wish.
#'''Lord of Rebirth:''' Heal one wound a turn automatically and ignore wounds on a 5+, a solid choice for a tanky warlord like a Wraithseer.
#'''Warden of Souls:''' Whenever your Warlord is affected by Soulburst, and +1 to their Strength and Attack characteristics. A decently reliable way to buff your warlord on a more consistent basis compared to the other offensive traits here, but with a notable peak in performance. The Yncarne has this by default.
#'''Walker of Many Paths:''' A free hit/wound reroll every turn with a 5+ CP refund when you use a stratagem. A flexible choice that helps keep your options open when you don't know what to expect.
#'''Fear of the Grave:''' All enemy units within 6" of your warlord subtract 1 from their leadership, 2 if it's during a turn a unit was killed by the warlord. Stacks very well with leadership bombs courtesy of the Visarch and nearby Hemlocks, Wraithseers or Horrify Warlocks.
#'''Favoured of Ynnead:''' Consolidate 6" instead of 3" in melee. Can be handy to keep up the momentum, but runs the risk of leaving your warlord's entourage behind. Yvraine has this by default.
#'''Master of Death:''' Whenever your warlord rolls a hit roll of 6 in melee, it generates two hits instead of one. A good way to help deal with hordes and fish for hits in general, but kind of unreliable. The Visarch has this by default.

====Ynnari Tactical Objectives====

:;11 - Spirit Sanctuary
::Roll a D6; gain 1VP if no enemies control the corresponding Objective Marker. Completely random and unreliable, but a bit easier to achieve than the vanilla version in a rare twist.
:;12 - Harness the Spirits
::Successfully casting a power from a {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari Psyker}} generates 1VP. Yvraine or a Farseer can make this one easy pickings.
:;13 - For Ynnead's Glory
::Get 1VP if three or more units were killed by attacks made by {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari}} units this turn. Kind of a tall order for a single VP all things considered.
:;14 - Surety of Purpose
::Get d3VP if you achieved at least two other tactical objectives this turn.
:;15 - Death's Every Visage
::Score 1VP if you destroy a unit in the Psychic/Shooting/Fight phase this turn. Score d3VP if you destroy a unit in all three of them. Worse than the vanilla version.
:;16 - Soulsurge
::Score 1VP if you destroy three or more units with attacks made by {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari}} units ''while'' they are benefiting from Soulburst in a single turn. Kinda fucked up that the more challenging version of ''For Ynnead's Glory'' doesn't offer any more VP for the extra effort needed (you'll need to wipe 4 enemy units in a single turn to get this; one to trigger the Soulburst and then the remaining 3 for the objective). Made somewhat easier if by some miracle you manage to pull off the ''Souls of the Strongest'' stratagem beforehand.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
====Ynnari Stratagems====

A subset of stratagems to further enhance your Ynnari detachments.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Fire and Fade (1cp)''': Copy-paste of the vanilla version. This lets your selected unit move 7" after shooting, no charging or advancing allowed. Still useful for units like your Fire Dragons.
*'''Lightning-Fast Reactions (2cp)''': Another copy-paste, add a -1 to-hit modifier if targeted by a ranged or melee attack. Useful in a pinch, but a little less spammable compared to Alaitoc lists.
*'''Deadly Misdirection (2cp)''': Identical to ''Feigned Retreat'', this one lets you shoot and charge after falling back.
*'''Artefacts of Death (1/3cp)''': The ever standard extra relic(s) stratagem, nothing special.
*'''Webway Ambush (1/3cp)''': Your flavor of deep striking {{W40Kkeyword|Infantry}}, {{W40Kkeyword|Biker}} or {{W40Kkeyword|Beast}} stratagem. Situationally useful.
*'''Exalted of Ynnead (1cp)''': Pick one of your non-warlord/named HQ characters and give them a warlord trait, no duplicates allowed. Doesn't make them a real warlord and you can only do this once. Actually quite handy, as there are some good traits to choose from.
*'''Inevitable Fate (2cp)''': Pick an enemy unit at the beginning of the fight phase and all your {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari}} stuff re-roll wound rolls against it. Can be handy, but kinda pricey.
*'''A Taste for Death (1cp)''': Used when a unit's ranged weapons wipe an enemy unit, they add +1 to-hit in melee till the end of the turn. Objectively useless, as they'd be benefitting from Soulburst if they kill a unit and since most decent ranged weaponry can't be fired while ''in'' combat, they'd need to charge and would cap on their hit bonus from the Soulburst itself.
*'''The Great Enemy (1cp)''': Largely the same as ''Inevitable Fate'', but limited to {{W40Kkeyword|Slaanesh}} targets and only buffs one of your units. A fluffy strat that stacks with your Ancient Doom for both re-rollable hit and wound rolls that benefits quite a lot from a Soulburst, but your opportunities will be very slim.
*'''Back from the Brink (2cp)''': When one of your Infantry/Biker characters dies, use this and roll a D6. On a 4+, they come back with D3 wounds and sets up as close to where they died as possible. Can only do this once per character. Can come in handy if your opponent fucks up your plans.
*'''Reborn Together (1cp)''': Add +2 Leadership to all {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari}} units that have another Ynnari unit within 6" of them. Sort of helpful if you're worried about leadership bombs or casualties screwing your morale.
*'''Whispering Spirits (2cp)''': Basically the opposite of ''Reborn Together'', targeted enemy unit subtracts 2 from their leadership when within 1" of your dudes. Stacks obscenely well with the myriad of leadership debuffs at your disposal.
*'''Acolyte of Ynnead (1cp)''': If one of your psykers attempts to manifest a Revenant power in the same phase that you destroyed a unit, add 3(!) to their psychic test. On a Farseer, it guarantees a cast of whatever you want to go off. An allied vanilla detachment's Farseer spamming Smite/Mind War/Executioner can help create opportunities to use this.
*'''Ynnead's Net (2cp)''': A {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari}} biker can advance and charge in the same turn. Shining Spears still have a place in this army!
*'''United in Death (1cp)''': Pick a {{W40Kkeyword|Reborn Asuryani}}, {{W40Kkeyword|Reborn Drukhari}} and a {{W40Kkeyword|Reborn Harlequin}} unit. All of them get +1 Attack in the fight phase if they're Soulbursting. Yikes, try making that happen in a Matched Play game.
*'''Shrine of the Whispering God (2cp)''': Pick up to three Incubi units and they get Strength from Death. Handy, if useless to a Craftworld based Ynnari list.
*'''Souls of the Strongest (1cp)''': Kill the enemy warlord, and all units with Strength from Death are soulbursted for the rest of the game even if no other units are destroyed in subsequent turns. Best take some rangers to make it work, but can take the pressure off of trying to kill something before combat every turn if you manage it.

</div>

====Revenant Discipline====

{{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari Psyker}} units replace either their access to the Runes of Battle or Runes of Fate disciplines with this one. These powers allow them to play both a supportive and offensive role for army. A reminder, {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari}} units can no longer select or benefit directly from any Runes of Fate and Battle, as they cannot be targeted by them anymore. Offensive powers from allied vanilla detachments such as Executioner and Mind War are good powers to take on an allied vanilla detachment supporting a Ynnari one, as they can help trigger SfD or be used to help trigger stratagems or Tactical Objectives.
#'''Gaze of Ynnead:''' Essentially Smite on crack, this WC 6 power lets you choose the target, and deals mortal wounds based on a D6; a roll of 1 results in 1 mortal wound, 2-5 causes 1d3 mortal wounds, and a 6 results in 1d6 mortal wounds on the target; the total expected mortal wounds is, accordingly, 25/12, or slightly more than 2.
#*Like all non-Smite Psychic Powers in 8th, this is worse than Smite: the odds of it going off base are down from 30/36 to 26/36, so the total expected output is only 1.5 mortal wounds. For comparison, Smite deals 1.79 (both results assume the Psyker survives Perils on double 6). What's surprisingly nice here is that the reduction is small compared to two significant trade-offs: the first is that you can pick the target, and the second is that your Warlocks can cast it without a wacky special rule nerfing your mortal wound output. Still not a great power, but other disciplines definitely have worse.
#*The math changes for both Yvraine and a Farseer, and for any other buff you can come up with to casting the power. However, any buff that increases the casting total, like Yvraine's, tends to make Gaze ''worse'', not better: Yvraine's Gaze deals 1.74 mortal wounds, but her Smite deals 2.08. In other words, normally Smite does 19% more mortal wounds than Gaze, but for Yvraine, it deals 20% more. The difference is negligible, but will accumulate as you incorporate more buffs, like spending CP to re-roll her cast. It can be a solid offensive tool in the hands of Yvraine, but you'll ideally pick it up mid-battle when some of her warlock meat shields get chewed up rather than starting out with the power.
#'''Storm of Whispers''' An AoE aura attack, this WC 6 power lets you roll 3d6 per enemy unit within 6" of the caster; every roll of a 6 hits the unit in question with a mortal wound.
#*This power is hot garbage. Assuming you pull it off - and you will 26/36 of the time for a standard caster, or slightly better than 2/3 of the time - each unit suffers, on average, ''half'' a mortal wound (or, in other words, every nearby enemy unit will suffer 13/36 of a mortal wound, on average, or slightly better than 1/3). That means a normal caster needs to be within range of ''five'' units for this to compete with Smite, and Yvraine needs to be within ''six''. Stay the hell away from this power - you're seriously better off casting Smite additional times, even despite the casting penalty.
#'''Word of the Phoenix:''' WC 5, this ability no longer triggers Soulburst, but rather allows the targeted {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari Infantry}} or {{W40Kkeyword|Ynnari Biker}} within 18" to heal 1d3 wounds ''or'' resurrect one model, who comes back to unit coherency with a single wound remaining. Accordingly, this is best used on as elite targets as possible (to maximize how many points you're returning to the table) with ''as few'' wounds as possible, both to maximize your chance to res rather than heal, and so that your res restores as high a percentage as possible of the target's total wounds. For example, it'll repair Vypers at range just fine (since it doesn't care about the presence or absence of {{W40Kkeyword|Biker}}), but you'll get overall better performance on a Warlock Skyrunner Conclave.
#'''Unbind Souls''' A WC 6 debuff that allows units to re-roll wound rolls for melee attacks against the targeted unit. Now that Doom is more or less off the table for Ynnari units, this is the next best thing. It synergizes fairly well with the new Soulburst as it is relatively easy to cast without much hassle - and while it is easier to cast than Doom, the double nerf of shorter range AND being melee only really hurts.
#'''Shield of Ynnead''' A slightly more challenging WC 7 power that grants ''all'' Ynnari units within 6" of the Psyker a 5++ invulnerability save. This works for literally everything in your army that doesn't already have a 5++ or better (e.g. this won't do anything to protect Wyches in melee) and can be a fantastic tool for your Wraith units, vehicles, or even the ever standard Aspect Warriors.
#'''Ancestor's Grace:''' This WC5 power allows the targeted friendly unit within 18" to re-roll hit rolls of 1 until your next Psychic phase, so both shooting and melee. A nice supplemental power, but it might be better to simply use an Autarch or Archon, who will benefit multiple units automatically with his aura (so long as you're using primarily <Craftworld> or <Kabal> Eldar in your Ynnari detachment).
#*As even your Craftworld Ynnari units can no longer benefit from Guide, this is the only option you have that can support your ranged units. Consider just parking an Autarch with a reaper launcher for your backline gunners in a Craftworld-focused list.
*Perhaps the two most worthwhile powers here are Word of the Phoenix and Shield of Ynnead; to give you a good example of them working together, if you supply a unit of Blaster Scourges with both, they go from a 4+/6++ to 4+/5++, and every time you bring a dead Blaster wielder back, you're bringing back 36 dead points. Plus, they need Ancestor's Grace, since they're allergic to Archons.

====Relics of Ynnead====

Your range of relics for your generic characters. Cannot be taken on your named Ynnari characters, as per the usual standard.
*'''Hungering Blade''': For you, Autarch exclusive, as it replaces his Star Glaive/Power Sword. S+3 AP-3 flat D2 sword that swats an extra mortal wound on targets for every wound roll of a 6. A decent upgrade if you plan on having him up front.
*'''Song of Ynnead''': An 18" S5 AP-1 replacement for a shuriken pistol. Follows shuriken AP-3 rules and every time it kills an enemy model, its unit subtracts 1 from its leadership till the turn ends. Since it shoots three times, this ''can'' devastate enemy leadership in conjunction with other debuff powers/abilities. Very good for horde-based armies.
*'''Mirrorgaze''': A standard "-1 for hit rolls against the bearer" relic. Notably affects all hit rolls and isn't limited to infantry.
*'''Soulsnare''': Once per game, you can pick a unit within 6" of the bearer and roll a D6. 1 does nothing, 2-5 deals D3 mortal wounds and heals the bearer for the damage dealt, and a 6 deals D6 mortal wounds and heals for ''all'' lost wounds on the bearer. Basically a pocket mini-smite with some crazy benefits if you get lucky and obviously pays off more on characters with big health pools.
*'''The Lost Shroud''': Halve all damage received, rounding up, with a 5+ FNP for good measure. Crazy good ability that can take the edge off strong weapons, but largely underwhelming on any characters with less than 6 wounds total.
*'''Corag Hai's Locket''': Whenever the bearer destroys a unit, permanently add 1 to their movement and attack characteristics. There is no cap to this, meaning you can get some ridiculous stats if the owner of this racks up the kills. Stacks beautifully with Soulbursts and Warden of Souls.

====Special Characters====

'''HQ'''
*'''Yvraine:''' The Emissary herself, running a slightly cheaper 115 points with the advent of Psychic Awakening. With the drastic rework Soulburst received and Word of the Phoenix being retooled into a healing power, Yvraine is now more geared towards close combat than she used to be. In practice, this means she can very easily roll around with some Ghost Sword Wraithblades or even a Warlock Conclave while healing them and getting them to reroll wounds with the right psychic powers. Indeed, Warlock Conclaves can serve very nicely as a bodyguard unit since if any of them die, Yvraine gets to generate a new power from the Revenant Discipline and can optionally ''revive'' any of those Warlocks who fall using Word of the Phoenix. Just beware that despite her ability to regain wounds as {{WH40Kkeyword|Aeldari}} die within 7" of her on a 4+ and a 4++ invuln save, she's still T3 and will fall quite quickly if you're not careful.
**There are still the two differing schools on how she runs in a Craftworld Ynnari detachment: A very aggressive role where she accompanies a unit to push them as far into enemy lines as possible before potentially dying after causing considerable havoc, or a more passive supporting role accompanied by a Warlock Conclave and/or Farseer while dolling out healing, re-roll buffs and pain in equal measure. Do keep in mind which detachments your supporting Farseers and Warlocks are in if you want them to double-dip into the Revenant Discipline with her, or if you want them to provide the more offensive powers otherwise exclusive to vanilla Craftworlds.
*'''The Visarch:''' Now actually a better combatant than Yvraine. With Psychic Awakening's updated point cost dropping the Visarch to a bargin-bin 80 points, he is a ''steal'' of a deal both as a close combat character and as a cheap way to field a Ynnari detachment. His BFS, <i>Asu-Var, the Sword of Silent Screams</i> is a Strength 5 Force Sword that reduces the enemy unit's Leadership by 1 allowing him to be the linchpin for Leadership Bomb setups. Very tanky as when ''any'' Aeldari model within 7" dies, on a 4+ he regains a lost wound, and gains +1 Attack (caps at 7) if it was a character and given his Warlord Trait he'll be bifurcating people pretty regularly. He also acts like a bodyguard to Yvraine and if he's within 3" of her, he can take any wounds for her as a Mortal Wound on a 2+ which plugs one of her biggest weaknesses right now, good job buddy 2 years and you've finally found a use.
**Oh the Visarch he's the odd one of the three ain't he? He's the cheapest Ynnari character, and this reflects in the limited support he offers compared to Yvraine or the Yncarne. He does have a pretty neat sword though. When figuring where he fits in a Craftworld Ynnari detachment it's a game of buts, sure he could back up you're hefty CQC units '''but''' Yvraine or an Autarch do that infinitely better, you could have him help set up a leadership bomb '''but''' Warlocks, your own stratagems, or an errant Hemlock do that better, you could have him- you get the idea. On top of this with being able to take any Ynnari character as your Warlord there is next to no reason to bring him save for being a beat stick.
***He does give Ynnari units within 6" rerolls 1 to hit in combat, and given how the army works now, he can replace an Autarch for your front line attackers.
*'''The Yncarne:''' Our Avatar of an Eldar God (Even though the Ynnari have an Avatar of Khaine and it's the biggest and scariest one, but whatever it's not like GeeDubs is gutting the character of this army at every turn) coming in at 280 points might seem like a lot but she's equipped with <i>Vilith-shar, the Sword of Souls</i>, an awesome weapon that is [[Rape| S6, Ap -4 and d6 Damage with re-rolls to wound. With 6 attacks, S7 A7 with her Warlord Trait, whatever it is hitting is dying]]. With the "rework" of SfD the Yncarne can't fight twice, but with her Warlord Trait hits much harder weirdly making her kill half as much, more efficiently (i.e. she'll only drop one Imperial Knight a turn in combat not 2) this all being said the Yncarne is a flying, monstrous character that can cast two of your six Revenant Discipline powers granting her impressive flexibility. The Yncarne is also pretty resilient, T6 with a 3+ armor and 4+ invuln that covers 9 wounds that regenerate on a 4+ for any Aeldari model killed near it. It also provides a 6" Fearless bubble any friendly Aeldari within 6" shrugs off any Wound or Mortal wound on a 6+. While the 8" of movement it has may not seem particularly fast, the Yncarne also has the unique ability '''Inevitable Death''' allowing her to teleport wherever a unit friend or foe died within 1" letting her appear where and when she's needed.
**'''Note''': The Yncarne can't charge after arriving in this way so you ideally want him popping up on your opponents turn. You also want to be exploiting the ability to redeploy when anything dies as a mobility/escape tool. If anything else The Yncarne popping up somewhere unexpected can divert a ton of Fire away from your other units though you might want to leave the [[DISTRACTION CARNIFEX]] role to something like a Succubus, or Venom.

==Corsair Overview==
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
A unique little sub-division of eldar, the Corsairs are to the Aeldari as the Death Korps of Krieg are to the Imperial Guard; an overpriced Forge World exclusive faction with a fancy little twist on the standard way they'd normally play. Unlike the Kriegers, the Corsairs are considerably less popular and as such, have significantly fewer units to play around with. Go figure. Regardless, Corsairs offer a much more flexible way to play your eldar factions, and practically encourage you to go wild with conversions to really make [[your dudes|your dudes]]... partly because the only visible difference between a standard Corsair Reaver and a Guardian Defender is literally just the helmet bit.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

'''Pros'''
* Corsairs have the most flexible weapon loadouts of all the Aeldari factions, allowing you to either specialize against a particular unit type (like GEQ or MEQ), or kit them out to handle a wide range of threats.
* With the 2017 CA dropping their point costs, most of the Corsair units are actually pretty reasonably priced for what they bring to the table.
* Troop choices with 16" moves that fly make securing or contesting objectives considerably easier compared to most ground-bound armies.
* Between the Craftworlders, Dark Eldar and Harlequins, Corsairs have more opportunities for conversions than any other Non-imperial army; fantastic for making [[your dudes | your dudes]].

'''Cons'''
* In the transition from 7th to 8th edition, most Corsair units have been liquidated. [[Fail | For some reason, this also included their HQ choices such as the Corsair Princes, Barons and Void Dreamers]].
* With only 5 unit data-sheets (2 of which are copy/pasted from Craftworld/Drukhari codexes), this is also the single smallest faction in the game. If you're all about diversity, look elsewhere.
* Like Imperial Assassins, can only be brought as a pure Corsairs detachment without an HQ, forgoing any command benefits for the detachment.
* As a Forge World army, its units are also the most expensive financially. Not that there's many of them left to choose from.
* Corsairs have all the frailty of the Dark Eldar, meaning that a single stiff wind could very easily wipe out an entire squad of your dudes. While they have access to the Falcon now, with no means to repair or mitigate damage received, it'll suffer all the more for it.
* For the time being (which will probably be a very long time), Corsairs lack any and all faction traits to shore up their weaknesses. With all the other Aeldari armies having Craftworld Attributes, Drukhari Obsessions and Harlequins Masque Forms, they can all perform more effectively both in defensive and offensive roles compared to the Corsairs. Coupled with your lack of unit choices, this leaves the Corsair faction with very little in-house incentive to pick them compared to what all the other Aeldari factions offer.
* Forge World has stopped supplying ''all'' Corsair conversion kits, meaning that you very much will need to [[counts as|pretend]] that your Swooping Hawks and Windriders are space pirates if you ''really'' want to run corsairs and don't have an existing army of them from days gone by.

'''Special Rules'''
*'''Reckless Abandon:''' Unique to Corsair units, this risk/reward ability triggers only if an enemy unit that is charging your squad loses a model to your overwatch fire. If these lofty requirements are met, you can move said squad 3" in any direction away from the dudes charging them. Borderline useless on the Cloud Dancer Jetbikes, though Reavers and Sky Reavers have an honest chance of triggering it between the Brace of Pistols each model has along with any flamers they might have tugged along with them. Don't get cocky though, that 3" potential reposition may not be enough to get your Corsairs out of their charge, and they are absolutely pathetic in a fist fight. Not that you'd want to use corsairs defensively, but with most deep-strike/infiltration at 9" max, the 3" back-out makes an instant charge all but impossible.
*'''Dancing on the Blade's Edge:''' This ability continues the risk/reward trend and allows Corsairs to roll an additional dice on Moral tests if they so wish, discarding the <s>lowest</s> highest result (the typo in the original Imperial Armour: Index Xenos was corrected via FAQ). If any models bail however, then one additional model flees along with whoever you lost from the test itself. This ability is pretty double-edged; on one hand, it could reduce or negate loses through morale tests for your pirate elves with some good rolls. On the other hand, bad rolls could just finish the job your opponent started on your fairly cowardly thieves.
'''Wargear'''
Corsairs are unique in that basically everything available to your standard Aeldari Troop choices is basically open game to your pirates. Most of their loadout selection can be found between these two factions:
*'''Craftworld Weapons:''' ''Shuriken Catapult, Lasblaster, Flamer, Fusion Gun, Shuriken Cannon, Scatter Laser'' and ''Aeldari Missile Launcher.''
*'''Drukhari Weapons:''' ''Shardcarbine, Blaster, Splinter Cannon, Shredder'' and ''Dark Lance.''
The three Corsair units also come with a few extra exclusive options for their perusal (some like the ''Brace of Pistols'' being manditory) that can give them even more flexible applications based on what you need them to do.

===Corsair Unit Analysis===

A quick overview of the Corsair specific units available for selection can be found within this collapsible box for those interested in using them.

'''HQs'''
Sadly, there currently aren't any Corsair-specific HQ units in 8th Edition. That said, you don't need any; per the '''28/09/18 FAQ''', so long as your army's Warlord is {{W40kKeyword|AELDARI}}, you may bring an HQ-less Corsairs Patrol, Battalion or Outrider Detachment, though you forgo any command benefits for the detachment to do so. Additionally this means faction-specific stratagems, auras or psychic powers cannot affect them. Fielding Corsairs more as a supplementary force as opposed to your core army is strongly advised.

'''Troops'''
*'''Corsair Reaver Band:''' The most versatile troop choice among the Aeldari, it'll run you 80 points base for a 5-elf squad armed with Lasblasters and a Brace of Pistols. However, for 7 points less each, you can freely swap out said lasblasters for either Shuriken Catapults or Shardcarbines (Dropping the cost to 50 Points including Felarch), and for every 5 models in the unit (maximum of 15), [[Awesome|one of them can swap out their gun for one of several heavy or special weapons, including Flamers, Fusion Guns, Shredders, Shuriken Cannons, Dark Lances, Blasters, and even Aeldari Missile Launchers]]. While the Reavers have all the flexibility of an SM Tactical Squad and can do a lot on the field, don't forget that they're still squishy little Eldar with only a 5+ armor to save their skins. These will be your best objective holders, though even if they're geared defensively, you'll need to keep them out of LoS or in cover to survive.
**'''Chapter Approved''': Interestingly, aside the Wraithseer, the only Eldar units to receive point ''drops'' were [[awesome|all of the Corsair units, including the Reavers, Skyreavers and Cloud Dancer Jetbikes.]] Reavers dropped from 9 points per model to 7, and the Felarch from 14 to 12.
**'''Felarch Weapons''': While the corsairs as a whole have their fair selection, their Felarch only has the ''Dissonance Pistol'' and ''Void Sabre'' to choose from, aside the standard fare. The Dissonance Pistol could find some use, if you would like a little extra bite on your squad leader. The Void Sabre ''could'' find some use on a spar-glaive squad of Reavers, though a squad with that kind of a loadout is basically begging for death.
**'''Note on Costs:''' The default loadout for each Reaver is a Lasblaster (7p) and Brace of Pistols (2p). In almost every circumstance, you should absolutely replace the Lasblasters with Shardcarbines or Shuriken Catapults, since it will drop the cost of each model almost by half.
** The Brace of Pistols is a mandatory take, so it may be a good idea to build around engaging at close range to make the most of it. A Shredder/Flamer with a squad of Pistol/Spar-Glaive or Pistol/Shuriken Reavers can dish out an unholy amount of shots despite being a relatively small squad. Works doubly so on Skyreavers, who can get right in the face (Preferably 9") of a squad to use their shredder for double the shots.

*'''Corsair Skyreaver Band:''' There's only one real difference between these guys and the normal Corsair Reaver Band. Jetpacks, and some of the best jetpacks available to most infantry at that too! All the flexible goodness of the land-bound Reavers given a nice 16" move with the Fly and Jetpack keywords. These guys will serve primarily as your objective contesters and forward skirmishers, as they can easily get into enemy territory as soon as Turn 1 if positioned carefully. Recommended special weapons for these guys would be the Splinter/Shuriken Cannons or Flamers for anti-infantry or the Fusion Gun/Blaster for anti-vehicle; you can give them heavier firepower through the Dark Lance or AML, but given how often your Skyreavers will be moving around, they'll be less effective with them compared to your ground-bound Reaver kin will be. Additionally, do note that at 100 points base for a 5-elf squad, or 205 base for a 10-elf squad, they can get expensive fast.
**'''Chapter Approved''': Like their Reaver brothers and sisters, the Skyreavers received a slight drop from 12 points a model to 10 (17 to 15 for the Felarch). It's not much, but that 10 point difference does make quite an impact.
**'''Note on costs:''' Identically to their Reaver twins, the default guns for the Skyreavers are the Lasblaster (7p) and Brace of Pistols (2p). Again, replacing the Lasblaster with either the Shardcarbine (recommended), Shuriken Catapult or Spar-Glaive drops their total cost by a little over a third of their original price.

'''Dedicated Transport'''
*'''Corsair Venom:''' A small paper boat with a Splinter Cannon and either a Twin Splinter Rifle or a second Splinter Cannon. Now that the Twin Rifle is free but the second Cannon runs you another 15 points, it may not be too bad an idea to keep the Twin rifle. Just ask yourself, is the difference between 24" Rapid Fire 2 and 36" Rapid Fire 3 worth 15 points? Either way, it transports a single 5-elf squad of Reavers. It's also now 2" faster than the Raider, so zip around and crap out a massive amount of poison.
**'''Alternative Take''': One thing people have missed out about the Twin Linked Splinter Rifles is that closing in to Rapid Fire the thing results in either 1) The Venom dying to Lasguns, Bolters, Melta Guns or a random Krak Grenade following a round of Rapid Firing Bolters, 2) The Venom just getting charged (6" move plus 6" Charge ain't hard to make) which loses you a turn of shooting for the passengers, assuming the Venom survived combat, 3) You not quite getting into Rapid Fire Range Turn 1 resulting in you losing the unit 4) A combination of the above. Remember that while Venoms can be spammed, they are not exactly expendable. You take the additional cannon for extra firepower at range while skirting just outside the range of weapons that can reliably threaten it.

'''Fast Attack'''
*'''Corsair Cloud Dancer Band:''' Corsairs with Jetbikes. While they have nearly the same statline (worse leadership unless you pay 5 extra points for the Felarch to bring it back up) as Windriders, they have a few extra options they can take, like Dark Lances, Splinter Cannons and Dissonance Cannons (of which, only the Splinter Cannon and Shuriken Cannon aren't Heavy Weapons). All in all, they are a pretty decent and relatively durable unit that is very flexible, though their lack of any rules to alleviate the penalty for moving with heavy weapons does hurt their effectiveness as a vector for heavy firepower.
**'''Chapter Approved''': Their cost was dropped down to 27 points per model, making them considerably more cost effective than they used to be.
**'''Note on Modelling''': With the Corsair Jetbike bits from Forge World moving to the "Last chance to buy" category, it looks like future players looking to field Corsair Cloud Dancers will either need to get lucky on ebay or kitbash some miscellaneous Aeldari jetbike bits if they don't want to rely on "counts as" rules. Fortunately, since Corsairs are all about stealing their kin's rides, there are plenty of opportunities to get creative with [[your dudes | your dudes]] pimped out bikes.
**''Pay No Attention to the rules behind the curtain'': "The Felarch may replace its lasblaster with [...]", but doesn't have a lasblaster.

'''Heavy Support'''
*'''Corsair Falcon:''' Functionally, the Corsair Falcon is the exact same as the Falcons Craftworlders have, and has access to all the bells and whistles that come with theirs. While the Corsair Falcon does have some transport capacity, being able to tote up to 6 Corsair Reavers along with it, its main use is as a fast, fairly durable heavy weapons platform (given that it is your only Heavy Support choice). A Falcon equipped with two Starcannons and a Shuriken Cannon will be quite versatile, and better able to deal with MEQ and TEQ targets that your Shard Carbine Corsairs may struggle with. If you want to give the Falcon some extra support, you can spice up a Corsair Reaver squad with Shard Carbines and take either a Splinter Cannon for anti-infantry, or a Dark Lance for anti-tank, and have the Reavers hang out in the Falcon until they're needed.

==Army Building and Tactics==

===Army Building===

*'''Building up your forces:'''
**'''Getting Started with Bundles:''' To those who have considered creating a CW Eldar army, or those who are looking to expand their existing forces, now is a pretty good time to do so. There are several bundles available to the frugal player that can save both new and old players quite a bit of money
***'''Start Collecting! Craftworlds ($90):''' This repackaged bundle comes with a ''Farseer'', ''Wraithlord'', ''Warwalker'' and a squad of ''Wraithguard/blades''. It's a bargain for what it offers; hard-hitting durable units headed by arguably the most useful HQ choice you could take in any generic list. Unfortunately, it also has one of, if not the fewest model counts among all other get started kits with ''no'' Troops included, meaning that you'll have to purchase your Guardians/Dire Avengers separately if you're needing them. That said, the $55 odd bucks this bundle will save you will easily cover the cost of a squad or two of those.
***'''Craftworlds Army ($170.75):''' A premium Start Collecting! kit that includes a ''Wave Serpent'' and ''Guardian Defender'' squad in addition to the prior bundle's contents. A higher price point of $170.25 makes this bundle a touch harder on the wallet, but it comes with everything you'll need for a solid Patrol Detachment. Unfortunately, there's literally no difference in price between buying the Start Collecting! Craftworlds kit then buying a squad of Guardian Defenders and a Wave Serpent separately or just purchasing this bundle, so it really boils down to how much you're willing to spend all at once.
***'''Wake the Dead ($150):''' A joint narrative campaign kit with Craftworld Eldar and Primaris Space Marines. Honestly a steal of a deal, Craftworlders can get a plastic ''Spiritseer'', ''Wraithguard/blades'', ''Guardian Defenders'' and a ''Wave Serpent'' for effectively $75; half the price they'd run individually! You can make that price literal if you can get a buddy or even local colleague to split the cost with you for the imperial forces. Alternatively, you get a bunch of Primaris Space Marines essentially for "free" if you just buy it yourself. Either way, it's a fair bargain that makes for a much more balanced starting force for new players than the basic Start Collecting! kit.
***'''<s>Battleforce Craftworlds Asuryani Bladehost ($170)</s>:'''(Discontinued) Yet another bundle for vanilla Craftworlders, this package comes with a ''Farseer'', a squad of ''Guardian Defenders'', ''Dire Avengers'' and ''Windriders'', a ''Vyper'' and, for some reason, a ''Wraithknight''. This ends up being a little over $105 in savings; a pretty solid deal all things considered (it all but pays for said Wraithknight included). The unique thing about this set is the inclusion of the Lord of War unit, something very few "generic" bundles have done before. Since LoW's tend to be less common in the average detachment these days, in addition to the Wraithknight's cost to field (and debatable viability), you'll get more value by buying a different kit if you have no need/desire for the Wraithknight itself (it would in fact be cheaper to buy all the other units sans WK separately than to purchase this bundle).
***'''Craftworlds Vanguard Detachment ($170):''' Designed for Apocalypse games, this package comes with a ''Spiritseer'', two ''Wraithlords'' and three squads of ''Wraithguard/blades''. What it lacks in variety (bundles only ever seem to focus on Wraith units or guardians, but given everything else is resin, it's not like they have much to choose from) it can make up for with some punishing firepower that's more suited to the bigger scale Apocalypse games are aiming for. A solid choice if you only have a couple squads of Wraith units or plan to play it big.
***'''Wraithknight Super-Heavy Detachment ($345):''' The most expensive bundle (which it technically is), this package of three ''Wraithknights'' is...impractical for a number of reasons. First, it offers no discount compared to just buying the three wraithknights separately, so it really just provides the minor convenience in packaging them all in the same box. Second, even with the agreeable point discount Chapter Approved 2018 gave them to field, wraithknights are still too cost inefficient to justify taking more than one (even then, situationally) in the average list. If you're just in it for the modelling or mainly planning for Apocalypse, however, feel free.
***'''Blood of the Phoenix ($230):''' The first new plastic Aspect Warriors and Phoenix Lord make their debut in GW's <s>most expensive non-superheavy box set to date</s> formerly most expensive non-superheavy box set (they wasted no time breaking that record). Uh...yay? Regardless, this set comes with ''Jain Zar'' and a squad of ''Howling Banshees'' in their sleek new plastic glory, a ''Falcon'' to carry them around in and a random ''Vyper'' since every other eldar box set released spammed Windriders as filler. ''If'' you can find a player to split the Dark Eldar units (or plan on getting them for ''their'' fancy new plastic Incubi and Drazhar models anyways), then it's arguably worth it (you know, given how inflated GW's prices are these days). Assuming Jain Zar will run $30ish dollars and the banshees run $50ish dollars, you'll save $55 on the craftworld units included compared to purchasing them individually, again assuming you find someone to split the set with. This just happens to be enough money to cover the cost of the Phoenix Rising rule book you'll want/need to buy separately if you want access to all those fancy Exarch Powers and Custom Craftworld attributes since the book included in the set [[Fail|doesn't have any of those rules included,]] [[Games Workshop|forcing you to purchase a stand alone book separately if you actually want to use them]]. While the plastic aspect warriors are certainly welcomed with open arms, there are a few issues with this set that make purchasing even one of them a tall ask; a 30~% price increase on a bundle that only includes two "new" units per faction (versus a bundle like Shadowspear, where everything included on both sides was completely new ''and'' still at a semi-standard $170) with two of the models being named characters makes this set a particularly hard sell. At most, you'll probably only want to buy this set once (if even that), even if you're splitting it with someone else.
***'''Squadrons:''' Players looking to fill up on more niche models can save a few bucks on the Vyper Squadron ($75) and Vaul's Wrath Support Battery ($60) bundles; each comes with three models that can either be set up either individually or as a single squad, giving players a bit of tactical flexibility when it comes to filling out their detachments.
**'''Aspect Warriors:''' When it comes to the Aspect Warriors, unfortunately almost all of them are online exclusive and Fine-cast Resin models (Dire Avengers and Howling Banshees being the only exceptions to both of those standards) that are not only woefully outdated aesthetically, but also consistently out of stock and difficult (if not impossible) to find on 3rd party websites. Now that much of the 40k hype has shifted towards less model intensive game-types, the availability of these units isn't as much of an issue as they used to be, though don't be surprised if it takes GW several months to restock a kit that sells out for Eldar. With the Psychic Awakening focus on the Craftworlds having come and gone, it'll likely be quite some time before any of the other Aspects get plastic overhauls like the Banshees received.

===Required and Recommended Reading===
Here is a list of all Asuryani-applicable rule books you'll need in order to officially play the game. Outside the Codex itself, many of these books are largely optional but are good to have on hand just in case [[that guy]] incessantly insists on fact checking any obscure rule or unit you want to use. The prices listed are assuming you're looking to purchase a physical copy of the book.

*'''Warhammer 40,000 (Core, $60)''' - Kind of obvious, the basic rules on how to play the game are listed within. Watered down rule booklets are often included in battle box sets that go over the basic battle round phases, but they neglect to mention any of the game modes, deployment zones or other miscellaneous information needed. That said, check with your local store or fellow gaming buddies if they already have a copy you can borrow; you might be able to get by just sharing one core rule book between the involved players if you only play rarely or casually.

*'''Codex: Craftworlds (Core, $40)''' - Another "no shit, Sherlock" book you'll need to own to actually play Craftworld Eldar. For anyone just interested in playing Open/Narrative play, this and the core Rulebook are all you'll need.

*'''Imperial Armour - Index Xenos (Forgeworld/Optional, $24)''' - You'll need this book if you want to field your more obscure or superheavy options available on GW's sister website [[Forgeworld]]. It seems that Forge World will be releasing updated versions of these indexes sometime later in 2020. These updates will provide new rules and reworked datasheets to bring the Forge World units in line with their fellow standard units as they are in their respective Psychic Awakening books. Once the current edition sells out on their website, they'll no longer restock copies of the index until they release the new version, so if you have any interest in picking up Forge World units before then, you should probably grab a copy soon.

*'''Chapter Approved: (20XX/Kinda optional, $35)''' - An annually released book that amounts to an irritatingly necessary subscription to play competitively, as it contains the most up-to-date balance updates for all playable units across all the factions (core and Forgeworld). Needless to say, these point reevaluations override whatever point costs were listed in any prior Codexes/Indexes/CA Volumes and are required in order to field tournament legal lists. Each edition does thankfully also come with new game modes and rules to expand how you can play the game, so they aren't ''completely'' rendered obsolete each year when the new volume drops. Casual players can get away with skipping this purchase as well, especially if their local community doesn't really give a shit about the official GW stance on tournament play.

*'''Vigilus: Defiant (Optional, $50)''' - Now onto the truly elective reading, Vigilus: Defiant offers access to two specialist detachments that you can upgrade your lists with, if you're playing with the compatible units. It's a bit expensive and the percentage of the book actually relevant to you is disappointingly small, but it does offer additional generic game modes and access to a variety of other faction specialist detachments if you plan on double-dipping into any of them.

*'''Psychic Awakening: Phoenix Rising (Optional, $40)''' - Though it's entirely supplementary, the custom Craftworld Attributes, Exarch Powers and full Ynnari rules offer very compelling reasons to pick up a copy for players looking to enhance and customize their army. Additional game mode modifiers, like Theatres of War, add extra rules that can mix things up by granting unique effects to certain units fielded within.

*'''Warhammer Legends: Craftworlds (Optional)''' - The retirement home for any models/units GW doesn't currently stock or have any intention of keeping relevant in the current tournament scene. To that end, the units or loadout options available in the Legends section are still supported for Narrative/Open/Casual Matched Play, but are illegal for use in official Matched Play tournaments and generally not recommended for locally hosted tournaments either. The only things of note in here are the expanded weapon options for your Autarch variants and a few discontinued Aspect Warrior Exarch special weapons. Craftworld players certainly got off easier than Space Marine or Ork players in this regard.

Lastly, keep a sharp eye on Warhammer-Community for any FAQs published about the core rules and any of the books listed above. They can drastically change the way your units function and are necessary (for competitive players at least) in order to properly play the game. Casual players again can live without these, but as the FAQs are the only rule adjustments that are released for free, there's really no reason not to go ahead and give them a read.

===Tactics===
*'''Overview:''' The thing about Craftworld Eldar is that most of their infantry units are elite and highly specialized; in concept each different unit is suited to one particular job that they do exceptionally well, and struggle to do anything outside their designated roles effectively. While they reflect this in practice as well, certain units don't perform those jobs well enough to justify fielding them without having to build entire lists around them. When building a detachment, you'll need to keep your opponent's army in mind when choosing your units; find their strengths and weaknesses and exploit them with surgical precision. CW Eldar lack the tactical flexibility of Space Marines, are far too costly to field disposable blobs of infantry, and cannot afford to field units that have limited use against their opponent's forces. Battles of attrition can be particularly one-sided against Eldar due to their minimal model count, fragile durability with subpar armor and shorter-than-average range on their guns. However, with the exception of Wraith units, all your infantry units are faster than most other armies, are reliably accurate, and possess powerful guns and psychic powers that make up for their less than adequate defenses.

*'''Aeldari, not just Asuryani:''' Something that you'll want to consider, is that you can and should take units from your Dark Eldar, Harlequin, and Corsair cousins. While Craftworld Eldar have access to durable, hard-hitting units (like Wraithguard, War Walkers and Wave Serpents), as well as solid psykers (Farseers and Warlocks), most of your units come with a point price tag that makes most losses you suffer hurt more than they should. Dark Eldar on the other hand have access to surprisingly cheap and hard hitting units, Harlequins themselves are pricier, but their infantry's mobility and close combat game is unrivaled and lastly, Corsairs are modestly priced, highly flexible troops that can help fill any niche your army may be lacking. Take units that'll complement your strategy.
**'''28/09/2018 FAQ Note''' Now that the Battle Brothers beta rule added in the 16/04/2018 FAQ has been decreed a fully fledged rule, Matched Players ''must'' ensure each faction of Aeldari is keeping to their own strictly pure-strain detachments. Even Corsairs must abide by this rule, though they now enjoy a special rule allowing them to be brought without an HQ in their detachment (since they'd otherwise be unplayable), but they are limited to Patrol, Battalion and Outrider Detachments. Taking them in said detachments also negates the bonus CP they would otherwise confer. Plan accordingly if you want to take more than one flavor of eldar.

*'''Mind your Detachments:''' As far as pure Craftworld detachments go, going with the standard Patrol, Battalion or Brigade formations is often not the most economical way to field an army (With the codex out however, it's far more feasible due to Dire Avenger and Ranger point reductions). Going with a Vanguard, Outrider or Spearhead detachment will allow you to field the specialized army that the Craftworld Eldar are known for without a Troop tax limiting your options. Given the large number of new stratagems that were released with the new Codex, make sure you plan out which ones you will use and how often you think you'll need to use them before committing to a lower CP cap.

*'''Melee Combat:''' It sounds obvious at first, but it really does need to be said for the Eldar: you really don't want to wipe a unit in close combat in your own turn as the Craftworlds Eldar; even for the Ynnari, it's less than ideal. You want to be wiping a unit on your opponent's turn to be protected from return fire, or abuse the hell out of the Yncarne's ability to teleport next to something that just died on anyone's turn (potentially giving them the ability to teleport across the table, then charge on your turn). Given that everything but your Wraith units are T3, you definitely don't want them standing there in the open for your opponent to shoot to bits. Wraithblades, Incubi, Grotesques and Harlequins are all units easily able to wipe a unit off the board in one charge, so make sure to plan an escape for them if/when they do. Everyone else has a cheap Troop they can literally throw at your melee units (yes, even the Dark Eldar) to tie them up for a round then proceed to shoot the hell out of them next turn.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>

===Specific Army Builds===

'''Bike Swarm:''' Not a pure craft worlds list per say but close enough to be included here. With the advent of the new space marine meta quite a few of the "classic" Craftworlds lists have been rendered almost unplayable, fortunately there are a few lists out there that almost perfectly counter the AIDS of the space marines meta; this one included. Take 1 to 3 max size units of Shining Spears with the withdraw Exarch power, (Starlance exarch weapon) and three warlock Skyrunners, Jinx/protect, Empower/enervate and Quicken/Restrain (probably take a Farseer with Doom and Guide as well). You'll also need 3 units of harlequin Skyweavers with zephyrglaives and haywire cannons with a Shadowseer, Twilight Pathways and Webway Dance. Finally take an Alaitoc or custom detachment with 3x units of rangers using your Quicken/Restrain warlock and Farseer as HQ's, if after all this you have any points to spare put them into a large unit of dark reapers with Tempest Launcher and Long-Ranged fire.

You probably get the idea by now, as many fast hard to kill, 2 damage toting units you can get, a list tailor made to kill those Primaris rats, with Protect and Withdraw on your lead unit of Shining Spears you'll be almost immune to melee attacks from basic space marines, S6 AP-4 and D2 will make a mockery of Primaris and Centurions alike and their fly keyword allows them to charge those pesky Stormtalons and Stormhawks. One unit of skyweavers can have a 3++ every phase for 1cp and another can be -2 to hit, don't forget they can move twice too with twilight pathways. They're hitting with 3 S5 AP-1 D2 attacks each in combat, but their true strength is against vehicles at range, doing an average of 1-2 mortal wounds per bike to any unit with the vehicle keyword - no Ironstone is going to save them this time!

'''Wave Serpents:''' The premiere tank of the Craftworlds, Wave Serpents outclass Falcons as durable transports that offer no small amount of firepower for considerably less cost than any other grav tank that you can field. However, if all it'll be transporting is a small squad of Fire Dragons/Howling Banshees, you could consider to pay a bit more for the Falcon in order to increase its fire power.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Wraith-Bus:''' Despite how durable wraith units are, they don't appreciate having to slowly slog it across the field with either melee or flamer-range weapons while your opponent lights them up with all manner of heavy firepower from half a table away. Wave Serpents can comfortably fit a squad of 5 blades or guard accompanied by a Spiritseer or Yvraine (or both if you wish!) while providing decent amounts of extra firepower. Wraithblades accompanied by an Enhance Spiritseer can absolutely slaughter most infantry with 20 S6 AP-2 attacks that hit on 2+ (with re-rolls!). This can be made extraordinarily terrifying if the Spiritseer is using a Psytronome of Iyanden, giving each Wraithblade within his 6" bubble a staggering 6 attacks on the charge (for a 5-statue squad, that's [[Rip and tear| 30 S6 AP-2 attacks!]] While this costs each affected squad d3 Mortal Wounds, you're at worst losing 1 Wraithblade in exchange for what's likely the entirety of the squad they just charged. If you're feeling feisty, you can do this with some Ynnari Wraithblades (They're still {{W40Kkeyword|<CRAFTWORLD>}} units after all, and the Psytronome applies to all {{W40Kkeyword|IYANDEN}} Wraith units) and ''very'' likely trigger a Soulburst. Just be careful that if you do this, you don't accidentally leave your Spiritseer to the [[Space Wolves|wolves]] while your Wraithblades charge off to make [[Khorne | Khaine]] proud.
*'''Fire-Bus:''' The much cheaper option than those pricey wraith units, these guys basically exist to be crammed into Wave Serpents for your anti-vehicle/monster needs. While they're basically throw-away units after they open up on their first target, they can do surprising amounts of damage when operating under Strength from Death. Watch your opponent pop an artery when your Fire Dragons immediately incinerate those Space Marines that tumbled out of that rhino you roasted literally seconds before them. Depending on how important those Fire Dragons are, consider taking a non-warlord Autarch or Warlock to provide re-roll support or defensive buffs so that they can do their jobs effectively and ''potentially'' even survive the following turn.
*'''Banshee-Bus:''' A squad of 6-8 Howling Banshees grouped up with a 4-6 elf Warlock Conclave can prove a relatively competent strike-squad that can handle ''most'' standard infantry relatively well. A Drain-Empower casting conclave can significantly buff the survivability and damage output of the Howling Banshees, who will be able to relatively reliably wound infantry up to and including MEQ squads. Drain on top of the H.B's hit modifier means that most enemies remotely competent in melee are only hitting back on a 5+. The Warlocks can also try to join the fray with their Witchblades, though MEQ targets and above can usually shake off their attacks using their standard saves. Additionally, even though the Warlocks all have a 4++ with several wounds apiece, losing 1-3 of those Warlocks will permanently handicap your Banshees due to the reduced powers per turn. Commit them only if you're certain they can survive your opponent's next combat round. As far as the number of Warlocks you're taking, if you're confident that you can keep your Warlocks safe (remember, they're not characters in a conclave), feel free to take just 4 and fill the rest of the Serpent with more Banshees. Going half-and-half will reduce your Banshee's total attack output, but will ensure your warlocks can survive a couple casualties before dropping a tier on their powers.
**'''Alternate Take:''' If you have the points to spare and are able to take a secondary detachment, consider just taking a Supreme Command detachment of 2-4 Warlocks rather than cramming in a Conclave in your primary detachment. You will maximize the number of Runes of Battle your Warlocks can cast while simultaneously maximizing the number of Banshees crammed in the Wave Serpent with them. Additionally, these individual Warlocks are in fact Characters, and will be considerably easier to keep safe from enemy fire. Empower/Enervate and Enhance/Drain Warlocks are a must, and while Protect/Jinx and Quicken/Restrain warlocks are extremely helpful, are not required. Conceal/Reveal can be helpful on the approach, but as a melee specialist unit that'll likely be in a Wave Serpent if not ''in'' combat, would be a power better reserved for dedicated ranged units. Though the Embolden/Horrify power can find usage due to the Banshee's penchant for horde-killing, their naturally high leadership means that they likely won't fail many morale tests. As for the Horrify power, it is better reserved for units like the Hemlock Wraithfighter, which is far more suited for the Leadership bombing role than banshees are.

'''Deathstars:''' While a good amount of eldar cheese has been toned down since 8th edition launched, there are still a couple units that can perform spectacularly when grouped together.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Banshee-Star:''' With the Codex returning Howling Banshee's Overwatch immunity alongside acrobatic advances ''and'' charges (which they can now perform both in the same turn), getting into melee combat is easier than ever for these aspect warriors. Banshee Exarchs have a passive that is basically the Drain power which stacks with a Drain Warlock to make them absurdly resilient in melee. A second Warlock tagging along with Empower can help fix their poor ability to wound MEQs and above. Depending on whether or not you're going MSU with the Banshees, a standard 5-Banshee squad can appreciate having a 5-Dire Avenger squad tag along inside the Wave Serpent as a screening unit of sorts to give them a bit of cover fire. Be careful though; Unless Jain Zar is within 6" of your banshees, they no longer strike first in melee.
*'''Reaper-Star''': Take a full unit of 10 with a Reaper Launcher or Missile Launcher on the Exarch with a Farseer for Guide and either Doom for if the enemy gets close or Fortune if you're just worried about surviving the reprisal. [[Dakka|That is 10 of your pick out of Heavy 1 S8 AP-2 D3 or Heavy 2 S5 AP-2 D2 per turn]]. [[Rage|Just make sure you keep your range to survive your opponent's reaction to this]]. Make sure you take a screening unit like Guardians or Rangers to protect from Deep Strikes. If you're concerned about ranged enemy reprisal, a Conceal Warlock can go camp with them to give anyone trying to bip your Reapers a -1 to-hit penalty, -2 if {{W40Kkeyword|alaitoc}}.
*'''Shadow-Star(Forge World; best under {{W40Kkeyword|alaitoc}}):''' A group of 5-10 Shadow Spectres accompanied by a Warlock Skyrunner casting conceal can be a force to be feared indeed. With 3+ armor and a -2 to-hit modifier (per successful conceal cast), Shadow Spectres can be one of, if not the most, durable CW eldar infantry choices you can take. While Wraith units are tougher with more wounds and heavier firepower, Shadow Spectre armor comes at no cost to their mobility or accuracy, which comes in at a brisk 10" base movement with Battle Focus letting them fire off their Prism Rifles at Coherent(S6 AP-3)/Dispersed(S5 AP-1) mode with no penalty. On top of a much lower likelyhood of even being hit in the first place thanks to their Holo-Fields. Unfortunately, they're no longer <i>as</i> cheap as they were, at 165 points for a standard 5-elf squad. Despite that, they are still 35/60 points cheaper than a Wraithcannon/D-scythe Wraithguard squad, or 10/65 points cheaper than Ghostsword/Ghostaxe Wraithblades. An autarch joining in with Swooping Hawk wings can keep up with the Shadow Spectres and give them re-roll 1s support for their coherent beams for your MEQ blending needs as well. Of special note, Shadow Spectres can become even more of a pain to get rid of if using Alaitoc's "-1 to hit" rule, making them borderline untouchable at range (assuming your Warlock is still casting conceal on them, that's -3 to hit from 12" or further!). With careful positioning, Shadow Spectres can dance around and fire their Coherent Mode within that sweet 6" border that keeps them out of (most) rapid fire/charge ranges and keeps the -3 modifier going strong. Add the Lightning Fast Reflexes Stratagem to up that penalty '''further''' to a -4, and even units with BS 2+ will be all but incapable of hitting them. But beware of Adeptus Custodes Venerable Land Raiders- they get a Stratagem that lets them ignore all of those penalties entirely. However, given how expensive it is to do this, the Custodes will have more things to worry about from a mobile army like the Eldar, like being able to actually score objectives (though why they aren't just spamming Jetbikes against Eldar instead is another question entirely). And though the heavy Flamer profile on their Prism Rifles will likely give your opponent pause (especially since the Spectres can simply leave combat and light them up come your turn), CQC is a definite shortcoming for the Spectres; most of their to-hit bonuses will be negated (though not ''all'' of them) and they hit back about as hard as a stiff sneeze in the wind. Heavier melee units like the Custodes, Grey Knights, Blood Angels, and other Eldar Wraith units can generally tough out the overwatch and slaughter your Spectres in short order if you let them get too close.
*'''Spear-Star:''' Fairly straightforward; take 3 Warlocks with Enhance, Empower, and Quicken, and a Farseer with Guide/Fortune. You can take more Warlocks with less important powers like Protect, Embolden, or even Conceal if you're worried, but this is meant to punch things, not be durable. Cast any non-Quicken buffs on the Spears, then Quicken them. That's 38" of shooting threat, and 34" minimum (average 39") of charge threat, with, at full bore, +1 to hit and wound in melee, re-rolling misses with the guns. If you combine it with the {{W40Kkeyword|Saim-Hann}} stratagem, you can advance the bikers, shoot at no penalty, charge with re-rolling charge rolls, and then have both +1 to hit and re-rolling of 1s to hit in melee, on top of the +1 to Wound.
**The most important trick here is simply noting that Quicken works best on fast units, and Shining Spears are both fast, and most in need of the help, since their otherwise tremendous guns are very short range. If you want to pull this trick more than once, you'll want Skyrunners, so your buffers can keep up with your Spears.
*'''Wraithstar (Iyanden Only):''' Take a unit of 5 Wraithblades with Ghostswords, a Spiritseer with Enhance, and a Farseer with Doom and Fortune, with one of the characters carrying the Psytronome of Iyanden. When you activate the Psytronome, this gives the unit [[Rape |30 S6 AP-2 Attacks, hitting on Re-rollable 2s, Wounding on a re-rollable 2+ or 3+ against Infantry]], and it is [[Awesome|able to shrug off the Mortal wounds it sustains, all while fitting into a single Wave Serpent that has a statline that degrades at half the normal rate]]. While you're at it, feel free to use the ''Supreme Disdain'' stratagem to give the wraithblades exploding attacks on their 6+ rolls! Alternatively/additionally, while a Wraithseer can't fit in a Wave Serpent with them, it can give the Wraithblades re-rollable charges, and is no slouch in melee, either, since it also benefits from the Psytronome, as well as the boost to its degrading statline. Additionally, a Bonesinger tagging along can help recover wounds lost from combat/Psytronome usage, and lay down a Smite or two in the meantime to help soften up enemies from afar. Sadly, this is a one-time thing per battle, so make sure your priorities are clear before committing to a target. You can make a detachment running this strategy into a {{W40Kkeyword|Wraith Host}} to open up access to a few more stratagems to improve their offensive/defensive capabilities.
*'''Scorpion Star:''' Take 9 Scorpions, Karandras and 2 Spiritseers or Warlocks with Enhance/Empower of which one is your warlord with Ambush of Blades and put them into a Serpent. Let them Charge into something in Cover. Pull the Supreme Disdain Stratagem and Drown your enemies in saves. RAW each hit on 4+ will generate 2 additional Attacks(3 Attacks for the Exarch because he gets extra attacks from 3 different sources) wounding on 3+ against T4 or 2+ against T3, each hit on 4+ will be resolved with -1AP. This will be around 50 Hits with more than a half Attacks with -1AP if you factor in an Autarch plus all Mandiblasters, Karandras and the Spiritseers. Not really cost efficient, but really fun to pull off.

===Craftworld Unit Recommendations===
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
{|
|[[File:Alaitoc banner large by mirageknight32-d62s4fo.jpg|Border|50px|left]]
|'''Alaitoc''': Alaitoc is probably the default Attribute for many armies, specialized or no, simply because an army wide -1 to hit modifier benefits almost every unit you can field. Suffice to say, longer ranged units take advantage of this much more effectively than your mid/short ranged units. Melee units will find this perk quite situational as they will either be in a transport, in melee combat and generally un-targetable in the meantime or at ranges that don't confer the attribute's bonus.
|}
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''HQ Choice Recommendations''': ''Autarchs'' are highly versatile HQs that have access to the Shimmerplume of Achillrial, making them extremely difficult to hit even if enemy units get a chance to shoot at him unimpeded. Works wonderfully as a force multiplier for squads of Dark Reapers, especially if given the Mark of the Incomparable Hunter trait and a Reaper Launcher to not only stay at range, but also to snipe your opponent's characters. ''Farseers'' and ''Spiritseers'' are perfectly viable as well, and can take the Shiftshroud of Allansair for consistent -2 to hit modifiers (can also take in conjunction with at Autarch and his Shimmerplume if you can spare the CP for it). ''Warlocks'' as secondary HQs are a must, as stacking the Conceal power with other to hit modifiers is what makes Alaitoc units so incredibly hard to kill.

*'''Special Character Recommendations''': ''Illic Nightspear'' is a fluffy pick that, when combined with fellow Rangers and/or even an Autarch with MotIH and a Reaper Launcher, can almost guarantee one dead character a turn. A perfect pick for all the Shadow Spectres you're inevitably going to field is ''Irillyth'', as while he cannot abuse Alaitoc's attribute the way his aspect warriors can, he gives all Spectres an 18" fear bubble that can make the Morale phase for your opponent just as dangerous as your shooting phase.

*'''Troop Choice Recommendations''': ''Rangers'' are a given; they're your second cheapest troop choice and combined with their innate -1 to hit modifier, ability to deep-strike and 36" range guns, they are perfect for securing objectives outside your initial deployment zone, acting as buffers against enemy deep-strikers, character hunting, and just being a general pain in the ass to get rid off. Alaitoc also offers a unique stratagem that requires enemy units shooting at a squad of rangers to roll specifically a 6 in order to hit them, letting you save the Conceal power for more important units doing the killing. ''Guardian Defenders'' are a good secondary choice; while they can't contribute much firepower outside that 12" the Alaitoc attribute needs to stay effective, they can still plant a lot of bodies on an objective and can be a pain to clear off if utilizing the Celestial Shield stratagem and Protect psychic power. Lastly, their Heavy Weapon platforms can contribute a little bit of extra firepower with a bit more oomph than Ranger Long Rifles or Shuriken Catapults can provide.

*'''Elite Choice Recommendations''': ''Shadow Spectres'' are an obvious choice for lists allowing Forge World units. Fast flying infantry that have powerful guns that can not only punch through MEQ and TEQ targets with relative ease, but also effortlessly burn through horde armies with impunity. The dispersed mode on their guns can generally discourage even somewhat durable targets from getting too close, and anything trying to shoot them at range has to deal with a -2 to hit modifier at minimum. Stacking Conceal with Lightning Fast Reflexes makes it nigh impossible to score a shot on them; the few hits that do manage to land still have to contend with a 3+ base armor save that can easily be boosted by both Cover and Protect to an effective 1+ armor save. Anyone wishing to avoid this kind of cheese, or is unable/unwilling to field Forge World for one reason or another, ''Wraithguard'' and ''Wraithblades'' become particularly durable and are surprisingly versatile in what they can do. ''Howling Banshees'' and ''Striking Scorpions'' appreciate the extra protection Alaitoc provides, though other craftworlds (particularly Biel-Tan and Saim-Hann) offer better perks that they can utilize much more effectively.

*'''Fast Attack Choice Recommendations''': ''Warp Spiders'' can easily bump up to a -4 to hit modifier much the same way Shadow Spectres can; Flicker Jump, Conceal and Lightning Fast reflexes can all be stacked if your Spiders find themselves in a pinch, though keeping enemy units further than 12" away may prove challenging since that just happens to be the range of their Death Spinners. ''Swooping Hawks'' are a cheap, fast and shooty choice that can reliably keep enemy units securely outside that 12" danger-zone other Craftworld units need to be mindful of and offer a reliable source of Mortal Wounds for dealing with those feisty hordes. ''Shining Spears'' get an honorable mention since, even though they're a melee-focused unit, their speed and relative durability make it fairly tempting to bulk it up with to-hit modifiers. As a biker unit, a Warlock Skyrunner can also putter along and cast Conceal for a relatively reliable -2 modifier as well. Forge World ''Hornets'' happen to be the only vehicles that can also get a consistent -4 to hit modifier and are also the only units that can do so without Psyker support. However, as they need to constantly advance to get up to that point, abusing to hit modifiers on them limits their weapon loadout strictly to Shuriken Cannons and as such, may not necessarily be desirable candidates for this slot.

*'''Flyer Recommendations''': ''Hemlock Wraithfighters'' may no longer be able to cast Conceal themselves, but this attribute will at the very least allow them to keep the -2 to hit modifier they used to have before the Codex's release. Hemlocks are powerful fliers even without the added durability, S12 auto-hitting shots will make short work of MEQs, Monsters and Tanks alike, though the limited number of shots launched per turn makes it less effective against horde-based armies directly. Indirectly, Horrify combined with its Mindshock Droppods make for one of the most potent leadership bombs possible with the added bonus of being strictly from one source. Stack this with Irillyth and some Shadow Spectres to ensure any infantry that survives a salvo from either the Hemlock itself or the nearby Shadow Spectres tucks their newly formed shit-tails between their legs and books it. All the other craftworld flyers do indeed prefer the Alaitoc attribute as well, though the Hemlock is arguably the best choice if you're going to use this slot at all.

*'''Heavy Support Choice Recommendations''': ''Dark Reapers''. Even if the -1 to hit modifier had no effect on Dark Reapers, these guys are too good at what they do to not be an immediate consideration for this slot. With 48" range guns, it'll be quite some time before most enemy units can slog up to a range that negates Alaitoc's attribute. If they ever even make it so close alive to begin with. On the flipside, Dark Reapers are also a perfect counter to other armies abusing to hit modifiers themselves. Since they always hit on a 3+ regardless of all these modifiers, they can humble even enemy Shadow Spectres should they get too drunk on all that cheese. Alternatively, ''Fire Prisms'' offer long range, flexible fire support that can stack the Linked Fire stratagem and Pulse Laser Discharge to erase one particular target a turn. ''War Walkers'' and Heavy Weapon focused ''Wraithlords'' also appreciate the added durability Alaitoc offers, especially if they were going to spend their time as backline gunners.

*'''Lord of War Choice Recommendations''': ''Vampire Raiders'' and ''Vampire Hunters'', if you're lucky enough to have these out-of-production models, have natural synergy with Alaitoc. Their Colossal Flier rule forces all non-flying units to add 12" to their shooting/psychic powers, meaning that they will always benefit from Alaitoc's attribute. This means that against many armies, your super expensive Vampires will always have a -2 to-hit modifier on top of their distortion invulnerable saves (which, unlike virtually everything else in the LoW section, can actually practically maintain movement required for the 5+/4+ save) until/unless you choose to switch it to hover mode. ''Cobras'' and ''Scorpions'', as gunline tanks likely parked deep in your territory, will almost always benefit from Alaitoc's trait as well, though they tend to function more efficiently under Iyanden. ''(Skathach) Wraithknights'', while equally affected by the attribute as the rest of your non-Conclave units, perform better under Iyanden.
**Honestly if you're running a Footdar list it's this or Biel-Tan. The main advantage an Aliatoc Footdar list has is that the -1 to Hit will help your melee units actually get close enough to charge in the first place, something a lot of people overlook.
</div>
</div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
{|
|[[File:Biel tan banner large by mirageknight32-d62s4xb.jpg|Border|50px|left]]
|'''Biel-Tan''': Tailor made for Aspect Warriors, Biel-Tan favors taking small elite squads of infantry and compliments anything Shuriken. Biel-Tan is particularly useful for lower point games, as most Aspect Warriors are relatively cost effective and can easily fit into <1000 lists.
|}
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''HQ Choice Recommendations''': ''Autarchs'' again have incredible flexibility that let them fill whatever niche you may need in your detachment. Need re-roll support and an extra Fusion gun for your Fire Dragons? Check. Want re-roll support and Overwatch suppression for your Howling Banshees or Striking Scorpions? Check. Whatever your Aspect Warriors can do, your Autarch can do slightly better while supplementing their specialized skills. ''Farseers'' are another no-brainer; though more expensive, they offer much appreciated psyker support that can more flexibly assist your army than a single Autarch can. ''Warlocks'' are also ideal, and even necessary for some of your Aspect Warriors to be utilized to their full potential.

*'''Special Character Recommendations''': Biel-Tan just screams for Phoenix Lords. ''Asurmen'' is all but mandatory, as he can make most of your army particularly tanky with his invuln buff and compliments your Dire Avengers to such a potent degree that it's simply staggering. ''Baharroth'' is another candidate for a rounded list, as he can make any nearby Aspect Warriors borderline fearless and can redeploy to anywhere on the map as needed. All the other Phoenix Lords offer particularly powerful perks, though they're all limited specifically to their respective Aspect Warriors and should probably only be used if you plan on focusing on them. Lastly, the ''Avatar of Khaine'' is a serious consideration for larger point lists; Biel-Tan's exclusive Court of the Young King stratagem is improved considerably by using it on the Avatar, and is truly a force to be feared in short range and melee combat.

*'''Troop Choice Recommendations''': ''Dire Avengers'' are basically the poster-boys for this Craftworld. They take advantage of everything this attribute has to offer at a bargain of 60 points base, and should be your primary troop choice for a more conventional list. ''Guardian Defenders'', while more expensive and considerably more cowardly, can still easily take advantage of the Shuriken support and make for a relatively strong objective securing unit. They can also be used in a Webway Strike, popping up 9" from an enemy unit and filling it with anywhere from 20 (single 10-elf squad) to 80 (two 20-elf squads) shuriken shots that re-roll 1s to hit. A bit of a one-trick pony, but not much is going to be walking away from that particular volley of Shuriken shots.

*'''Elite Choice Recommendations''': ''Howling Banshees'', ''Striking Scorpions'', ''Fire Dragons'', and ''Shadow Spectres'' all will be competing rather harshly for this spot. Howling Banshees are good for clearing up hordes and tying up enemies in melee combat, while Striking Scorpions are better at dealing with MEQ targets and are more suited for backline assaults compared to your other choices. Fire Dragons offer a cheap(er) answer to your vehicle/monster needs while Shadow Spectres are a very durable and flexible, if expensive choice that can deal with a wide variety of targets most of your Aspect Warriors may struggle with. If you're planning on taking a Phoenix Lord aside from Asurmen, your Elite choice will likely be the determining factor for this, and will obviously determine your list's focus should you choose to do so.

*'''Fast Attack Choice Recommendations''': ''Warp Spiders'', ''Swooping Hawks'' and ''Shining Spears'', needless to say. Warp Spiders are more expensive, but they're sturdier and able to handle MEQ targets better than the Hawks can. Comparatively, Swooping Hawks are cheaper, can deploy and redeploy at will, are longer ranged and able to deal with larger clumps of models better than the Spiders can. Shining Spears offer a powerful hit-and-run option that, while particularly pricey, can devastate MEQ, TEQ and put a bit of a dent in Vehicle/Flyer targets. Should you opt out of fielding Scorpions or Banshees, Shining Spears can fill the melee niche while you field Fire Dragons or Shadow Spectres for the ranged roles. ''Windriders'', ''Vypers'' and ''Wasp Assault Walkers'' offer fast and relatively cheap platforms to field Shuripults or Shuricannons on, though they find better synergy with other attributes compared to Biel-Tan's.

*'''Flyer Recommendations''': ''Crimson Hunters'' count as Aspect Warriors and as such, benefit from the +1 Leadership (not that they'd ever use it) and can benefit from Asurman's invuln buff should you manage to miraculously get it in range. ''Hemlock Wraithfighters'' are arguably more useful though, given their S12 autohitting D-Scythes and as an extra vector for Runes of Battle debuffs.

*'''Heavy Support Choice Recommendations''': ''Dark Reapers'' are once again your go-to standard. Out of all your Aspect Warriors, they offer the single longest range fire support and can flexibly bring down a wide variety of targets that your Banshees, Scorpions and Dire Avengers will be struggling with. Alternatively, ''War Walkers'' using Shuricannons can act as relatively cheap skirmishing units that can flank vulnerable areas in your opponent's deployment zone to assault backline units or secure potential objectives.

*'''Lord of War Choice Recommendations''': None. Even in 2000+ point games, the only conventional LoW you can take that even benefits from a Craftworld perk is the Wraithknight. Biel-Tan offers nothing that an eldar LoW can use, and if you're fielding an army that is large enough to support a LoW, there's a better Craftworld attribute for it.
**Actually the best option for MSU Footdar as +1 Ld bonus combined with Aspect Warrior leadership in general means it's a non-issue. If you lose enough to take a Morale test that squad is beyond combat effectiveness anyway.
</div>
</div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
{|
|[[File:Iyanden banner large by mirageknight32-d62s5ml.jpg|Border|50px|left]]
|'''Iyanden''': Synonymous with Wraith units, it should come as no surprise that Iyanden offers the most incentives to field anything Wraith related. It is also the ideal Craftworld for a vehicle heavy list, or for maxing out footdar infantry unit sizes due to their built in commissar-esk rules (the old commissars, before the dreaded 2017 Chapter Approved).
|}
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''HQ Choice Recommendations''': ''Wraithseers'' are very potent candidates to be your Warlord, as Iyanden's perk keeps them in peak form until it's all the way down to 3 wounds remaining from their original 12. Not to mention a Wraithseer with MotIH as its trait and a D-Cannon is downright dirty. They also complement a Wraith focused list particularly well, granting Wraithguard/blades/lords a FNP or advance/charge re-rolls as you need. Finally, they themselves can take the infamous Psytronome of Iyanden into battle alongside their Wraith buddies. ''Spiritseers'' are another notable choice; they're cheap and act as force multipliers for your Wraithguard and Wraithblades. Spiritseers can also take advantage of Iyanden's unique Guided Wraithsight stratagem in conjunction with the Psytronome of Iyanden, Enhance psychic power and/or Supreme Disdain to ensure any one enemy unit stops existing after your Wraithblades are done with it. ''Autarchs'' and ''Farseers'' can offer very useful army wide buffs to supplement your non-statue units, should you need the extra support.

*'''Special Character Recommendations''': ''Prince Yriel'' gets special mention due to being an Iyanden specific character, though you can do better with a vanilla Autarch at a more reasonable price point. He's not a bad character in and of himself, though his abilities and loadout render him fairly situational unless a list is built specifically around him. None of the other named characters offer anything that really synergizes with Iyanden's attribute, and would likely function better in a different Craftworld.

*'''Troop Choice Recommendations''': ''Guardian Defenders'' can become extremely difficult to clear off objectives, especially if fielded in maximum squad sizes. Between Celestial Shield, Protect and effective Morale immunity, it's likely that your opponent will have to explicitly focus them down in order to properly secure whatever point your Guardians were...guarding. ''Storm Guardians'' are your cheapest choices, and due to Iyanden's Stoic Endurance protecting them from morale tests, they can be fairly resilient as well in large squad sizes. ''Dire Avengers'' and ''Rangers'' are cheaper if you plan to save your points for Wraith units, and also appreciate the morale immunity should you max out their squad sizes as well.

*'''Elite Choice Recommendations''': Between your Wraithseer and/or Spiritseers, unique stratagems and Craftworld relics, the obvious and fluffy choice would be ''Wraithguard'' and/or ''Wraithblades''. While the Craftworld attribute itself doesn't offer much to these Wraith units compared to their bigger kin, the extra perks your HQs get access to (particularly the Psytronome) make these choices particularly fearsome in both melee and at range, with even Warhammer Community bragging about how a 5-statue blade squad can butcher a Land Raider in a single charge. ''Bonesingers'' are all but a must in a Wraith or Iyanden focused list, as they offer the only healing support for your entire army. Even when they don't have much healing to do, they are a welcome source of Smite that does not take up an HQ slot and can easily squeeze in a Wave Serpent with a squad of Wraithblades/guard and a Spiritseer for a nice little deathball.

*'''Fast Attack Choice Recommendations''': ''Swooping Hawks'' are perfect candidates for your Fast Attack slots. The near-immunity to morale phases lets you max out their unit size to ensure the maximum amount of Lasblaster shots and mortal wounds they can dish out a turn, and can fill the mid-range anti-horde roll your wraith units might struggle with. ''Warp Spiders'' also fill a slightly similar roll, and are more challenging to shoot off the board comparatively.

*'''Flyer Recommendations''': ''Hemlock Wraithfighters'' are a fluffy, effective pick that kind of appreciate the damage table modifier, but aren't really affected that much by it. Conversely, every other flier is improved exponentially by this modifier, since their BS is actually affected by how damaged they happen to be.

*'''Heavy Support Choice Recommendations''': ''Wraithlords'' essentially lose their damage tables in a manner very similar to their Wraithseer kin do, and do not have to worry about being crippled until they're essentially dead with 2/10 wounds remaining. They're also a very flexible unit at a reasonable price tag; they can bring Shuricannons and Flamers for anti-infantry roles, or can slap on AMLs or Bright Lances to deal with enemy monsters or vehicles. Regardless of what you give it, it's no slouch in melee and can easily clear off MEQ and TEQ enemies in short order bare handed (or with a big-ass Ghostglaive for extra melee punch). ''Fire Prisms'', ''Falcons'', ''Night Spinners'', ''Warp Hunters'' and ''Lynxes'' all love this perk immensely as well, though ''Dark Reapers'' are arguably more cost effective than most of these choices and considerably more discreet in their placement.

*'''Lord of War Choice Recommendations''': ''Wraithknights'' and ''Skathach Wraithknights'' in particular gain much more mileage under Iyanden than the other Craftworlds, and to a lesser extent, so do the rest of your non-Conclave Lords of War. All of your bipedal titans, however, benefit from the extra Spirit Host synergies provided by Spiritseers and the Psytronome, so there's that to consider.

*'''Specialist Detachment Recommendation''': If you're going heavy on Wraith units, it may behoove you to go ahead and spend the CP to turn your detachment into a Wraith Host; particularly if they're inclined for CQC. Wraithblades and Wraithlords re-rolling charges and misses when accompanied by a RbtD Spiritseer can be fearsome enough, but with a Psytronome of Iyanden and Stratagem support, these things can [[rip and tear]] through practically anything you throw them at. Alternatively, you can have your Spiritseer toss his invuln save on your [[Distraction Carnifex|Wraithlord/Seer/knight]] just before it charges neck deep into enemy lines to make the thing even more absurdly durable than it already is.
**As mentioned, where Alaitoc's and Ulthwé's defenses come in through hit and wound mitigation, Iyanden's strength lies in loss mitigation. This makes Iyanden the best faction for maxing out your unit sizes for ''all'' your infantry, Wraithguard/blades included. Don't be afraid to take an extra Iyanden Patrol or Battalion detachment if you just need to have a few maxed out blobs of Guardians hold objectives while your Saim-Hann Shining Spears or Alaitoc Shadow Spectres blast about the board on the offense.
</div>
</div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
{|
|[[File:Saim-Hann Banner-d62s39r.jpg|Border|50px|left]]
|'''Saim-Hann''': To all the jetbike fans, this'll let you slap heavy weapons back on your bikes so you can relive those 7th edition memories of "relentless" jetbikes. On the other hand, all your dedicated melee forces will enjoy re-rollable charges, making Saim-Hann very fight-friendly indeed.
|}
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''HQ Choice Recommendations''': ''Autarchs'' on Skyrunners can keep pace with your Shining Spear while toting the Novalance of Saim-Hann and/or a Reaper Launcher to abuse Saim-Hann's attribute with. ''Warlocks'' are necessary in lists heavy with Howling Banshees, and ''Spiritseers'' are recommended should you go the Wraithblade route with them. Given how fast most of your army will be as well, it may not be a bad idea to slap Faolchu's Wing on a footslogging Warlock or Spiritseer so that they can keep pace with their wards. Lastly, ''Wraithseers'' enjoy the charge re-rolls for two reasons: It loves shoving its S9 spear into things and because it lets it focus on casting the 6+++ FNP Deliverance power on it's Wraithblade buddies.

*'''Special Character Recommendations''': ''Jain Zar'' and ''Karandras'', for obvious reasons. Jain Zar accompanying your Howling Banshees can make them that much more of a bitch to deal with, not necessarily due to the Always Fights First rule (though that's definitely still a plus), but the ability to disable an enemy's weapon while in combat. Against enemy units or characters that rely on one particular weapon to dish out the pain, this greatly enhances your Banshee's longevity against key targets. Karandras is the more offensive option, between his exploding attacks and buffing nearby Scorpions to do the same, they can take down key backline infantry or characters with relative ease. The ''Avatar of Khaine'' is another perfect, if costly choice due to his potency in melee.

*'''Troop Choice Recommendations''': ''Storm Guardians'' offer a cheap, if fairly ineffective, melee tarpit that can be modestly durable if given enough support through Runes of Battle/Fate and respective Stratagems. Your other troop choices don't necessarily gain anything from being in a Saim-Hann detachment, aside fielding squads of ''Guardian Defenders'' to camp objectives. ''Dire Avengers'' can participate in melee to a degree if necessary, though you have far better choices to field in this role.

*'''Elite Choice Recommendations''': ''Howling Banshees'' are your cheap, semi-squishy anti-horde infantry while ''Wraithblades'' are your expensive, durable and strong anti-horde, MEQ and TEQ infantry. The Banshees are cheaper and much more spammable compared to your Wraithblades, though they require much more babysitting in the form of Drain/Ennervate/Empower Warlocks (even with Jain Zar) than your Wraithblades do. Additionally, while the Banshees may be harder to hit, they're much easier to kill due to their pitiful toughness and single wound per model. Wraithblades can be healed with a Bonesinger and can take Forceshields for added protection. What you ultimately take in that regard should probably be determined by what kind of infantry you're expecting and whether or not you're taking Shining Spears. Regardless of your choice, a unit or two of ''Striking Scorpions'' makes for an ideal assassination unit, especially if accompanied by Karandras for the extra bite.

*'''Fast Attack Choice Recommendations''': ''Shining Spears'' stole the spotlight when it comes to Saim-Hann's Fast Attack choices, as their immense threat range makes hit and run tactics particularly potent given their re-rollable charges. A quicken Warlock can ensure any particular target on the table is within threat range, be it MEQ, TEQ or Tank. ''Vypers'' are the ideal Heavy Weapons units you can take, since they are the only unit you can have equipped with a Bright Lance, Starcannon or AML move and shoot without penalties of any kind. ''Windriders'' get to enjoy using their Scatterlasers like they did back in 7th, making for cheap, excellent sources of mid-strength dakka.

*'''Flyer Recommendations''': None in particular. ''Hemlock Wraithfighters'' are always good, but Saim-Hann only confers its Heavy Weapon benefits to Biker units. As such, Crimson Hunters and all other flyers get no particular benefit from being part of a detachment with this attribute.

*'''Heavy Support Choice Recommendations''': ''Wraithlords'' of the physical mindset appreciate getting into the thick of it much like their shorter cousins, and are the only Heavy Support units that can really take advantage of Saim-Hann's perks. ''Dark Reapers'' are always a welcome supplement, as they can soften up a target from afar before you have your Banshees, Wraithblades or Shining Spears swoop in for the kill. Everything else does better under a different Craftworld.

*'''Lord of War Choice Recommendations''': None. If your Wraithknight is unable to make its charge without this attribute into melee, it honestly deserves to get shot at.

*'''Specialist Detachment Recommendation''': Spending the CP to make your detachment a Windrider Host is definitely advised if you're going heavy on the jetbikes. While the ability to duck in and out of combat in the same player turn doesn't exactly help your standard Windriders and Vypers, your HQ Skyrunners can be particularly nasty in CQC with their Laser Lances or Witchblades.
**The unique Stratagem also needs to be mentioned as being able to Advance and charge as well as re-rolling 1's is very useful. An Enhance Warlock can have your Shining Spears or Striking Scorpions hitting on 2+, re-rolling 1's.
**It also allows for Turn 1 Charges with your Shining Spear Deathstar you will without a doubt be bringing if you are Saim-Hann. Have a Quicken Warlock and maybe an Enhance Warlock buff them up, and use the free movement phase to Advance as far up the board as you can, using the regular movement phase to get yourself into position for a charge.

|[[File:Ulthwe Banner Flag.jpg|Border|50px|left]]
|'''Ulthwé''': Similar to Alaitoc, Ulthwé only confers one bonus across the entire army. A generic 6+ FNP is not a bad deal at all, as ignoring even one (mortal) wound could be the difference between a fully operational or crippled vehicle, or a passed/failed Morale Test. Unfortunately, as this rule explicitly doesn't stack with similar FNP abilities, it's a situational attribute at best. Needless to say, this attribute comes into play far more often on multi-wound models and supports vehicle-heavy builds particularly well.
|}
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''HQ Choice Recommendations''': ''Farseers'' are a delightfully fluffy and incredibly useful default choice for the average Ulthwé army, particularly if you're taking advantage of the unique Ghosthelm relic to dish out easier Smites. The army wide 6+++ also allows them to drop the Fortune Rune of Fate in favor of more offensive debuffs like Executioner, Doom, or even Mind War for your frontline needs. ''Warlocks'' and ''Spiritseers'' love getting the chance to shake off the odd Mortal Wound they may pick up from the stray Perils that occasionally crop up in Psyker-heavy detachments as well. For the Wraith-lovers out there, ''Wraithseers'' become the single most durable HQ choice you could ever dream off; a 3+ Armor with a 5++ Invuln on top of T7 and 12 wounds makes hurting these things a daunting task to begin with. A 6+++ not only gives it plenty of opportunities to shake off the few wounds that slip past its insane defenses, but it also allows it to focus on casting Enliven on its Wraith buddies since the Deliverance power is rendered obsolete by the attribute.

*'''Special Character Recommendations''': ''Eldrad''. If you were planning on taking a Farseer as your HQ or Warlord, putting Eldrad in your list should be a priority. Not only is he able to cast more powers each turn compared to his generic colleagues, but he can manifest them much more easily too. Running Eldrad with the Seer Council stratagem gives him Smites that, if cast after a successful first power, manifest on a 3+ and do D6 damage on a 9+. Combined with the Executioner power, this makes him one of the most reliable sources of Mortal Wounds you can field.

*'''Troop Choice Recommendations''': ''Guardian Defenders'' are another obvious choice. Shockingly resilient despite their initial statline, Ulthwé Guardians (both Defender and Storm variants) can take advantage of the unique Black Guardian stratagem to lay down insanely accurate firepower by the bulk. Imperial Guard wishes that it could have upwards of 40 shots that hit on 2+ and rend on 6's (which with 40 fucking dice, you're getting a good number of 6's). Webway Strike two squads of maxed Defenders (Heavy Weapons platforms optional and recommended, but not necessarily required for the frugal player) and drop a Swooping Hawk Autarch next to them to guarantee the death of something your opponent thought was safe. ''Storm Guardians'' are a decent alternative, as they become slightly more durable and can also benefit from Ulthwé's stratagem to become fairly proficient objective assaulters.

*'''Elite Choice Recommendations''': ''Wraithguard'' and ''Wraithblades'', particularly Ghost Axe variants, can become a solid wall that can weather all but the most intense firepower directed at them. Those that follow a Wraithseer around can also gain more focused support for their Advances and Charges, ensuring that footsloggers get where they need to be much more quickly then other craftworlders can. ''Bonesingers'' can ensure that the few wounds that scuff up your Wraith units or Vehicles can get spit-shined in short order, and serve as an additional vector for Smite spam should you wish.

*'''Fast Attack Choice Recommendations''': ''Vypers'' become quite durable indeed, and are reliable platforms for either twin Shuricannons or a more standard Heavy Weapon for your various needs. Forge World ''Hornets'' and ''Wasp Assault Walkers'' are also particularly durable in their own right, and can very easily serve as Heavy Weapon vectors if you wish to spam the firepower. ''Windriders'' and ''Shining Spears'' all appreciate the support as well, and can easily pick away at outlying forces while your wraiths or tanks burn through the core of your enemy's army.

*'''Flyer Recommendations''': Ulthwé ''Crimson Hunters'' and Forge World fliers all love the free FNP, given that stacks quite well with their innate -1 to hit modifiers. ''Hemlock Wraithfighters'', while quite potent in their own right, sadly gain nothing from being fielded in an Ulthwé detachment since they already enjoy built-in Spirit Stones. That all said, Alaitoc's modifier is arguably more useful seeing as consistent -2 to hit modifiers are far more likely to keep your fliers skybound compared to the low likelyhood of making FNP saves when those shots manage to make it through.

*'''Heavy Support Choice Recommendations''': Everything you can field in this slot loves the 6+++, since it effectively gives all your tanks and walkers free Spirit Stones (For the War Walkers, this is quite the boon seeing as how they can no longer take Vehicle Equipment at all). Special mention goes to your ''Support Weapons'', which can benefit from the Celestial Shield and Discipline of the Black Guardians stratagems. ''Wraithlords'' love the added durability, of course, and synergize quite well with a Wraithseer casting Enliven to give it a better chance to get into glorious melee combat. ''Dark Reapers'' are always a solid choice as well, should you opt for the Footdar approach with your army.

*'''Lord of War Choice Recommendations''': Ulthwé Sword-and-board or Suncannon ''Wraithknights'' can become particularly durable with their 3+/5++/6+++ string of saves, and are something to consider in games that can afford a LoW or two. Granted, it may be more cost effective to stick with the standard fair offered in the more conventional detachment slots.
**If you are going Guardian heavy then the unique Stratagem is actually pretty good as it lets your Guardians stick around longer. Plus that 6+ FNP can and will be the difference between a failed morale test. [[Awesome |It also allows Guardians to hit on 2+ with the Shuriken Catapults and Heavy Weapons (ormove with them and still hit on a 3+), and Storm Guardians to hit on a 2+ with Fusion Guns]].
**[[Creed| Another fun thing is having a maxed out 20-Elf blob of Guardians pop out of the Webway]], [[Dakka|then open up with 40 Shuriken shots all hitting on 2+, plus whatever the Weapon Platforms are shooting]]. [[Rape| Not much will be left standing after that]].

===Reborn Elves vs. Regular Elves===

Due to the massive rework of the Ynnari in their White Dwarf index, a lot of the incentive to run Craftworld units under them has kind of gone up in smoke. Always fighting first is a nearly entirely useless ability on anybody - just ask Slaanesh's daemons and the Emperor's Children legion - due to the fact that the way the game is usually played, the rule won't come up: typically 1 unit at a time charges, then Falls Back the first chance it gets to allow for shooting up its target, so chargers end up going before ASF chargees despite the rule. Strength from Death also offers nothing to any of your units that rely on their ranged weaponry to deal damage. Of the three colors of Eldar, this hurts you the least, but it still hurts you plenty. The loss of not only being able to personally cast buffing powers from the Runes of Fate/Battle at all, but also being unable to be targeted by them from an allied detachment, hurts a ''lot'', especially since your craftworlders often must rely upon those powers to supplement your rather specialized units so that they can perform their jobs effectively.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="10>
'''Ynnari''': Should you elect to combine the skills of the Aeldari as a whole into one detachment, fielding a Reborn Warhost may be the best option for you depending on what you wish to bring. This particular section will focus primarily on the Craftworld options for obvious reasons.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''HQ Choice Recommendations''': ''Warlock Conclaves'', interestingly enough, make for excellent shields for your Ynnari warlords. Not only are they relatively cheap and disposable, but they can also indirectly heal their ward when slain either from combat or from a Perils of the Warp (assuming the rolls for mortal wounds are modest). Additionally, since several of the Revenant Discipline's powers affect units within a 6" radius, larger Warlock Conclaves can maximize this area by spreading out to encompass much more ground than any single model could. If you are taking wraith units, ''Spiritseers'' are excellent supporting characters that can ensure that they make the most out of their soulbursting fight phase, and can be used to compensate for the Ghost Axe's reduced accuracy if you decide to field that variant of Wraithblade. Spiritseers can also learn Word of the Phoenix to heal their Wraith companions and even resurrect them should they fall, a unique niche compared to other Craftworlds. Lastly, ''Wraithseers'' are an exceptionally durable HQ unit that now benefit from Strength from Death while ''still'' being able to support fellow Wraith units with its unique powers. They can also be made borderline unkillable with the right combo of Warlord Traits and Relics that can not only heal it automatically each turn, but halve all incoming damage and provide an otherwise unobtainable 5+ FNP.
*'''Special Character Recommendations''': ''Yvraine'' is practically mandatory. Not only do you need a Ynnari Special Character, but as a Psyker she can offer a wide range of support to many of your units. In larger lists, the ''Visarch'' is a strong melee combatant and is an excellent emergency bullet sponge for Yvraine, but should probably only be taken in higher point games. Alternatively, he is the cheapest named character if you're looking for the bargain bin. ''The Yncarne'' is the single most expensive character the Aeldari as a whole can take, but is nearly an army all on its own.
*'''Troop Choice Recommendations''': ''Storm Guardians'' are the cheapest choice Craftworlders can field who can also actually benefit from the new Soulburst to some degree. Alternatively, ''Dire Avengers'' are well rounded troop choices who's Exarch also has decent melee potential. ''Rangers'' are another good choice, especially since they are particularly ideal for deep-strike denial and character harassment.
*'''Elite Choice Recommendations''': ''Wraithblades'' in particular are excellent and fluffy choices that dearly appreciate the melee buffs Soulbursting grants. All of their weapons are guaranteed to cause a unit of your choice to die horribly. ''Howling Banshees'' and ''Striking Scorpions'' in particular also perform quite well under the influence of the new Soulburst, but their lack of RoB support can hurt them even compared to regular Craftworld variants. Lastly, ''Fire Dragons'' offer a modestly cheap tank/transport busting option that can burn through heavy armor and open up those METAL BAWKSES so that your melee units can get at them.
*'''Fast Attack Choice Recommendations''': ''Shining Spears'', though slightly gimped by the loss of out-of-phase charging, love the new Soulburst mechanic. Though they ideally don't ''remain'' in combat, the +1 to hit from Charging+Soulburst makes missing an unlikely possibility and they can capitalize on several Ynnari stratagems to advance and charge then fall back and charge in relatively short order. Not much else in this slot really benefits from being in a Ynnari list, sadly.
*'''Flyer Recommendations''': ''Hemlock Wraithfighters'' actually become fully fledged psykers by going Ynnari (since they lose Runes of Battle and gain the Revenant Discipline, they no longer suffer restrictions on the powers they can cast), and as such can serve as a speedy, durable vector for offensive or supportive roles in addition to doing what they do best: blowing holes in virtually everything in the game. Outside Wraithfighters, nothing else here benefits from rolling with the Reborn, so keep them in a different vanilla detachment.
*'''Heavy Support Choice Recommendations''': ''Wraithlords'', namely CQC inclined ones, love the ability to the the first punch in whenever possible. Flamer+Shuricannon variants can keep mobile while softening up GEQ/MEQ targets for the charge. Other than them, sadly nothing else in this slot gains anything from being Ynnari. Dark Reapers or Fire Prisms could be quite handy, but you'd benefit more in every regard by taking them in a secondary vanilla detachment where they'd actually get some benefits.
*'''Lord of War Choice Recommendations''': None. The soulbursting Wraithknights of yesteryear are but a fading fever-dream of many players suffering PTSD from 7th Edition's Ynnari. Even if they could in today's 8th edition, Strength from Death is not the game changer it used to be.

==Matchups and Counterplay==
Last but not least, here are some general tactics and counterplay advice on dealing with the various factions you may find yourself facing.

===Imperium===
*'''Space Marines''' - GW's posterboys are the most diverse and flexible faction you will ever face, especially if they're allied with any of the other Imperium factions. Space Marines generally have very balanced stats and reliable saves, but will suffer from a general lack of bodies and can largely be susceptible to your psychic powers. While the methods to deal with the following chapters are largely the same, each one has a unique twist that does significantly alter their playstyle compared to a generic or custom list.
**'''Black Templar''' - Space Marines with an emphasis on close combat, the Black Templar also specialize in shutting down enemy psykers; a problem for your Warlocks, Farseers and Spiritseers if you are expecting their support.
**'''Blood Angels''' - One of the most famous close-combat Space Marine chapters, the Blood Angels certainly aren't lacking for ways to get into melee and tear your squishy eldar inside out like the rabid vampires they are. Storm Guardians, Fire Dragon Exarchs and Wraithlords equipped with Flamers can discourage Blood Angels from getting too close while Shadow Spectres and D-Scythe Wraithguard can absolutely ruin the day of anyone attempting to charge them. In general though, you'll want to try to pick the Space Marines off at range where you can.
**'''Dark Angels''' - A gunline faction of Space Marines that's effectively immune to morale and absolutely loves plasma. They're somewhat more vulnerable to being tied up in melee than some of the other factions listed here, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're bad at fighting in it. To hit modifiers will severely discourage them from attempting to overcharge their plasma weapons while units with native invulnerable saves (like your Shining Spears, Ghost Axe Wraithblades) generally won't give a shit about the plasma's AP values.
**'''Imperial Fists''' - Space Marines who specialize with Bolters and are able to neutralize cover bonuses. They also have anti-building and anti-vehicle stratagems and Doctrines, so you'll want to take a care if you're fielding any tanks. Your Wraith Units can generally tough out their bolter-spam and aren't terribly bothered by the bonuses Imperial Fists bring to the table.
**'''Iron Hands''' - A 6+++ FNP, 5+ Overwatch and doubled wounds on vehicle damage tables make the Iron Hands a bit daunting to approach. This is made more potent by their Devastator Doctrine letting them casually cruise about and fire their Heavy Weapons without penalty, rerolling 1's to hit for good measure. Goddamn! You won't want to take half measures on Iron Hands vehicles; bring them down as quickly as you can. Wraithguard, Fire Dragons, Hemlock Wraithfighters, Fire Prisms and Dark Reapers are honestly your best bets to quickly punch through their armor, though you can endeavor to have some fast units like Windriders or Shining Spears tie up their vehicles and prevent them from participating.
**'''Raven Guard''' - Sneaky marines who'll be particularly tough to crack open at range and several tools for rapid deployment and battlefield control. Thankfully, your new ''Masterful Shots'' Custom Craftworld Attributes completely negates their primary Chapter Tactic while ''Hail of Doom'' and ''Masters of Concealment'' have particularly useful synergy in countering them. That said, many if not most of your units will need to get within that 12" range to even attack at all, so it's not like their tactic in and of itself will pose much trouble. You will ideally want screening units to ensure the Raven Guard cannot set up around your valuable gunline units.
**'''Salamanders''' - Pyromaniac Marines who ignore AP-1 shots and can re-roll one hit and wound roll per ''unit''. Thankfully, since your weapons mostly tend to have either 0 AP or -3 AP, their extra tankiness won't really affect you so long as you don't take ''Hail of Doom'' as an attribute. Salamander players looking to abuse their exclusive Doctrine or play true to their fluff will typically come packing with a fair few flamers, so you'll want to avoid getting into close combat when possible. If you insist on doing so, at least make sure you have some Howling Banshee screens to shut down their overwatch before you commit anything more to the charge.
**'''Space Wolves''' - A particularly unorthodox chapter of Space Marines that has access to particularly brutal close-combat units. Yet another faction to generally avoid close combat with.
**'''Ultramarines''' - Vanilla marines, in every aspect. While they have access to their own unique psychic discipline, relics and units (like Roboute Guilliman), much of what they do is pretty much what most generic custom chapters can do.
**'''White Scars''' - If there's any SM faction that could rival your mobility, it'd be the White Scars. All of their units get the ability to advance ''and'' charge while their {{W40Kkeyword|Bikers}} essentially gain your Battle Focus, only made better by letting them move and shoot heavy guns without penalty. Combined with their unique stratagems and psychic discipline which buffs their mobility even more, you'll find it borderline impossible to outflank these speedfreaks.

*'''Deathwatch''' - The Space Marines designed to slaughter anything not human (heretic or no), and they certainly pack the tools to do it. Try to spam Mortal Wounds against Kill Teams utilizing a Terminator or Storm Shield to tank high AP hits before you light up whatever's left of their squad and beware the hell of their Frag Cannons.

*'''Grey Knights''' - Everybody's a psyker and everybody is able to kill you at range or in melee. They're one of two factions in the entire game that can spam Smite without the Warp Charge increasing, though most non-elite units will only deal a flat 1 mortal wound. Save your denial roles for powers from their disciplines and engage them at range; they're significantly less dangerous and have a relative lack of dedicated gunline units. As an elite subdivision of an already elite faction, you won't find it hard to outnumber whatever force your opponent is bringing to bear. With the introduction of their Tides (combat doctrines), you'll want to pay attention and avoid engaging them in matchups that compliment their current tide. You can prevent them from changing the current Tide by denying any of their Psykers attempting to use Warp Shaping.

*'''Astra Militarum''' - A horde-friendly army with no shortage of heavy armor, Astra Militarum can spam bodies and tanks from table edge to table edge and be cost effective doing it. Their main weakness is a mediocre ballistic skill and generally non-existent weapons skill (with a few select exceptions), but they make up for it by being able to fill the air with so many shots that you'll still lose something valuable by the end of the turn. To hit modifiers are the bane of Imperial Guard players, and while spamming them is a good way to avoid taking any casualties, it's also a good way to [[RAGE|lose friends]]. [[Just as Planned|But that's why you're still going to do it anyways]]. Close combat is also a pretty decent way to deal with their infantry and tie up their tanks; Howling Banshees in particular can semi-reliably carve through them without support and as long as the Exarch is up and has her War Cry ability, the retaliating Guardsmen will struggle to do the same. The lynch-pin of guard hordes are ''officers''. A few Ranger squads taking advantage of their inbuilt -1 to hit and deep strike abilities will make a cautious guard player hug his officers close to LoS blocking terrain and gimp his effective order range since most guard players skip the range improving voxcasters to take more bodies. After that, prioritize any auto-hitting weapons such as Hellhounds and Flamer Special Weapon Squads since they don't give a damn about your hit modifiers.

*'''Adeptus Mechanicus''' - The Imperium's cyberpunk tech support is a mixed bag; very flexible and abundant special weapons make their basic troops particularly adept at handling virtually any standard threat while their heavier vehicles and servitors can weather no small degree of firepower before falling. Their Skitarii units share very similar statlines to aspect warriors like your Dire Avengers or Howling Banshees; reliable accuracy both at range and in melee make them significant offensive threats, but they crumble easily enough to most standard weapons. Caution should be taken around their basic Vanguard troops; not only do they put out a significant amount of dakka, but they can also debuff the toughness of anything they engage in melee. For you, this means any S4 attacks coming in on your living infantry will wound them on a 2+, a "privilege" normally reserved for nurgling swarms. Ad Mech notably lacks much in the way of in-house psychic support and are vulnerable to your offensive powers.

*'''Adeptus Custodes''' - The most elite standard army you could face, bar a pure Imperial Knight list, that is an absolute nightmare to face in melee. Though they are exceptionally durable, they do have a notable weakness to mortal wounds, particularly those incurred from psychic powers. You also won't find it challenging to outnumber and outmaneuver them. Under ideal conditions, don't attempt to match their close combat game under any circumstances.

*'''Adeptus Sororitas''' - Bolters, Flamers and Melta. The holy trinity abounds in the Sisters of Battle armies and should be expected whenever you see them take to the field. Though it is in somewhat short supply, using long range units like Rangers, Dark Reapers and Fire Prisms will let you engage the sisters well outside their conventional ranges. Despite their reliable saves, sisters are also notably squishy underneath all that armor and faith; massed fire from Guardian blobs, Dire Avengers, Windriders or War Walkers will invariably whittle through them reasonably well enough. If you're bringing psykers, keep in mind that much like the Grey Knights, every single unit of sisters can attempt to deny the witch. Unlike the Grey Knights, they are limited to only 1d6 for their denials, but they have several oppressive ways to buff their rolls and debuff your psychic tests if they're close enough. Keep your Warlocks at bay.

*'''Imperial Knights''' - Very big, very scary robots that can fuck your shit up sideways if approached carelessly. More often than not they'll be used to supplement detachments composed of the other Imperial factions (like the Adeptus Mechanicus, with whom they share a lot of synergy with), but they still occasionally are fielded as a pure-strain army. In the case of the later, you'll effortlessly be able to outnumber them and maintain much higher control over the table, giving you an advantage in objective-based game modes. Your Wraithguard, Fire Prisms, D-Cannon Support Weapons and Wraithknights can deal severe damage to them with enough support. You'll have no real trouble providing it either, as again they lack much in the way of stopping your Psykers from buffing or debuffing whatever you need so that you can reliably break through their defenses.

===Chaos===
*'''Chaos Space Marines''' - These guys play similarly enough to regular Space Marines that many of the same tactics that apply to them apply here as well. Key differences do start with their Daemon Engines, which regenerate automatically each turn if not completely destroyed, as well as the ability to summon in Daemon allies if they so desire. With the new legion supplements there's a wealth of sneaky combo's that CSM can pull of, -7 ld against guardian swarms can be devastating so keep an avatar or a WILL OF ASURYAN farseer close when fighting night lords, with the easy access that chaos space marines have to death star units your going to need to find a way to kill of their charecters of debuff their units without having JINX or DOOM denied, allying in a kabal of the black heart detachment for AGENTS OF VECT can be very useful hear as some CSM stratagems are so pivotal to their playstyle, Vect Concealed or Meat shields when you can as a unit of untargetable slaanesh Obliterators is going to cause you serious problems if it isn't dealt with early on.

*'''Thousand Sons''' - The only other faction in the game that can spam Smite to hell and back without penalty and has enough native psychic potential to rival and even outclass your own. Multi-wound weapons are arguably a must against these guys, as any 1-wound weapons actually increase their Rubric marine's saving throws by 1 (even the invuln save). Tzaangors are actually fairly threatening to engage in melee against, so much like the Death Guard, you'll want to keep your distance as you lay fire upon their ranks. You'll want to save your deny the witches for any major psychic powers your opponent attempts to cast

*'''Death Guard''' - Slow, thick and pestilent, Death Guard represents the best of what papa Nurgle has to offer; Disgustingly Resilient models that can shake off hits left and right as they gradually creep across the table. High strength/AP weapons are a must and any guns that deal multiple wounds (like Starcannons and Reaper Launchers) are ideal in order to overload any lucky FNP rolls they may get once you punch through their toughness and armor. You will have absolutely no trouble outrunning Death Guard units and keeping them from getting into combat with your ''much'' squishier infantry models.

*'''Chaos Daemons''' A general rule of thumb with Chaos daemons is that they all rely almost entirely on their invulnerable saves to deflect incoming attacks. This is exacerbated by their generally lower toughness (T3 infantry on average, Chaos God dependent). To this end, you should prioritize maximizing the number of shots your units put out as opposed to harder hitting firepower. You'll also want to bring a few psykers to both lay down mortal wounds to get through their invuln saves and to run interference against ''their'' psychic powers (particularly against Tzeentch).
**'''Khorne''' - Notably the only daemon faction without Psykers (given how Khorne [[RAGE|hates]] them, this is unsurprising), Khorne daemons are particularly vulnerable to your psykers and mortal wound spam in general. As an army entirely focused on melee units, they are also very vulnerable to being picked off at range, something you should have absolutely no trouble accomplishing. Bring down any Skull Cannons they may have brought and stay the hell out of melee with these guys.
**'''Nurgle''' - An army wide 5+++ FNP gives all Nurgle daemons some defense against mortal wounds and effectively two chances to shake off any damage that breaks through their 5++ invuln save. Their painfully slow movement speed will ensure you will have no trouble playing keep away the entire game.
**'''Tzeentch''' - A native buff to their standard invulnerable save means most of their standard units benefit from a 4++. Units to watch out for would be their Flamers and Blue Scribes, the later of which can make your Psykers permanently lose any power they fail at casting within 12" of them.
**'''Slaanesh''' - The subjects of She-who-thirsts and effectively the only faction you'll ever face who'll trigger your Ancient Doom ability (not that it really matters). Much like Khorne, Slaanesh daemons are dedicated melee combatants only with a heightened emphasis on speed over power. Suffice to say, pick them apart at range where you can. Dire Avengers are a cheap and decent option to intercept incoming charges due to their better overwatches.

*'''Chaos Knights''' - Evil Knights that individually are more flexible in their loadout than their imperial counterparts. As a dedicated Super-Heavy list, they are heavily limited by their minimal model count and being focus fired. Wraith units and D-Weapons in general are excellent Knight-B-Gone tools that can erase or cripple knights after a single volley. Psychic powers, namely Guide, Doom and Jinx are highly recommended to ensure every shot you make counts. Offensive powers like Smite are also great tools to bypass their toughness and armor/invuln saves. Special note, in a Battle-Forged Knight list, you can opt to use leadership buffs/nukes and Mind War against their nominated {{W40kKeyword|Character}} to lay down a large number of mortal wounds a turn. Defensively, hug LoS blocking terrain like your life depends on it; in many cases it does. You may also wish to place your more valuable units (like Wraithguard or Fire Prisms) in reserve so that they can be protected in the event you fail to get first turn.

*'''Renegades and Heretics'''

===Xenos===
*'''Craftworld Eldar''' - By now, you should have a solid idea on how they play, seeing as how that's what this entire page discusses. Try to focus on outmaneuvering your opponent and focus on taking down their psychic support whenever possible. Pay attention to whatever Exarch Powers they elect to give their exarchs where applicable and put their aspect warriors in generally unfavorable matchups when you can. Ironically, craftworlders are among the best in the game to deal with to-hit modifier spam should your opponent try to cheese you with them. Dark Reapers don't give a shit about these modifiers and between the flamers available to your Storm Guardians, Fire Dragons, Wraithguard, Shadow Spectres, Wraithlords, and Hemlock Wraithfighters you're not terribly short of potent auto-hitting weapons perfectly suited to bypassing these defenses completely. If nothing else, mortal wound spam through your plentiful psykers or aspect warriors (like Striking Scorpions or Swooping Hawks) also effectively neuter these tactics.

*'''Dark Eldar''' - Your edgy kin are just as fast and deadly as you, though they're a bit frailer. They lack any native psychic support, which gives you a slight advantage if you choose to go that route, but they make up for it by their units being a bit more flexible and deadly, especially in melee. Their poisoned weaponry doesn't give a damn about your Wraith units' high toughness, so caution should be taken when facing large numbers of splinter rifle wielding kabalites.

*'''Harlequins''' - Your clown cousins are probably the trickiest of your kin to deal with; their insane speed coupled with their universal 4++ invuln saves make it difficult to successfully wound them on the approach, especially since they can simply move through terrain and models to get to your dudes. Wraithblades and Wraithlords can match or even overpower them in a straight up fistfight, but beware any Fusion Pistol wielding Troupes; they'll ruin your day. Where applicable, flamers from Storm Guardians, Fire Dragons, Wraithguard (D-Scythes) Wraithlords and Shadow Spectres are ideal for both overwhelming their invulnerable saves and heavily discouraging close range charges. Dire Avengers, with their 5+ overwatches and plasma grenades are also reasonably decent charge screens and the Exarch (if geared for melee combat) can perform almost as well as any one of their troupe models in a fight. Otherwise, just focus on overloading their invulnerable saves with sheer volume of fire. Guardian Defenders, Swooping Hawks, Windriders and Dark Reapers can do well in this matchup ''if'' they can get the first shots in. Alternatively, mortal wound spam courtesy of Rangers, Striking Scorpions, Swooping Hawks and the ever obvious Smite/Executioner powers to circumvent their invulnerable saves. In the case of your standard units, this is somewhat unreliable however. Conversely, so long as you focus down any Shadowseers your opponent may have brought, Smite spam is a very reliable option that can and will dispose of entire troupe squads at a time.

*'''Ynnari''' - Ultimately, the Ynnari will play just like any of the prior eldar armies mentioned, only with an obvious predilection towards melee combat. They'll honestly probably be easier to deal with than if the player had just run those factions in their vanilla incarnations, since Ynnari lists sacrifice a lot of the original synergistic psychic and stratagem options for more generic, overpriced, situational and arguably useless equivalents.

*'''Orks''' - A tough horde of [[Boyz]] who'll do their damnedest to close the distance and beat you to death in an ideal world. Don't waste your time going overboard with to-hit modifiers; tempting as it may be with their basic BS 5+, their Dakka Dakka Dakka! rule lets all Ork units auto-hit on 6's regardless of modifiers. Due to this, you should also not underestimate ranged lists in the slightest as they can and will wipe units through sheer volume of fire alone. Your Wraith units can safely tango in melee with Orks, though you'll want to keep an eye out for Power Klaws. For the rest of your infantry, use your superior speed to kite their units while dashing into cover wherever possible and pick away at them from range. Their relatively low armor saves makes them easy prey from these kinds of hit and run tactics.

*'''T'au''' - One of the shootiest armies in the game, and honestly one of the most vulnerable to your numerous to-hit modifier debuffs. An average BS of a 4+ makes it tremendously easy for units like your Warp Spiders, Shadow Spectres, Hornets and any Flier you field virtually impossible to shoot (especially if you're running Alaitoc as your Craftworld) while you can engage them in relative safety. They also have virtually no defense against your psychic powers and have next to no dedicated melee units outside of any Kroot they may have fielded. To this end, Howling Banshees in particular are an anathema to the T'au due to their ability to completely shut down overwatch.

*'''Necrons''' - Extremely tough metal skeletons that will. Not. Die. You'll need to focus down entire squads at a time or they'll slowly start replenishing lost models thanks to their reanimation protocols. Characters and any Vehicles with Living Metal also need to be focused down quickly, as their automatic healing makes attempting to chip them away an exercise in futility. They are particularly vulnerable to your vast array of psychic powers as the only way they can deny the witch is to upgrade their canoptek vehicles with Gloom Prisms. Take down any such vehicles and drown their units with psychic mortal wounds to make quick work of the rank and file they fielded.

*'''Tyranids''' - These space bugs are well renowned for two things; hordes and monsters. Both are particularly adept at melee combat and many of their units can either match your speed or even surpass it. Try to keep your distance and focus down any Synapse Tyranids that you can. Take a care with their innate Shadow in the Warp, as it can particularly interfere with your Warlock's casting. Warlock Conclaves can overcome this by using their ''Concordance of Power'' stratagem to cast safely outside the range of SitW if needed.
**Keep tabs on any units like the Venomthrope or Malanthrope, who can buff nearby tyranids with to-hit modifiers and take them down as soon as possible. Fire Prisms excel at killing single-model units like these, the Linked Fire stratagem in particular deserving a mention. Dark Reapers, as ever, serve as a handy counter to hit-modifiers and can even be used as snipers with the appropriate exarch power.

*'''Genestealer Cultists''' - Unlike Imperial Guard (whom they may take as "allies" btw), many of the Genestealer units in this faction are ''not'' ideal targets to engage in melee. Between their Aberrants, Acolytes and Purestrain Genestealers, these guys will tear through your infantry (and even Wraith units, in the case of Aberrants) like tissue paper. Be extra cautious of squads deep-striking into your back lines and keep a Farseer paired with a squad of Dark Reapers to heavily discourage this tactic.

==Army Rules==
===Universal===
*'''Dimensional Translocation:''' ''The Necrons are unparalleled masters of technological lore, and can even bend the dimensions of space to suit their whims.''
::During deployment, you can set up this unit in a hyperspace dimension instead of setting it up on the battlefield. If you do, then in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases, you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models.

*'''Living Metal:''' ''The composite metals that comprise a Necron’s skeletal form are all but impervious to destruction, and ensure that only the most grievous wounds can lay these ancient creatures low.''
::At the start of your Command phase, each model in this unit regains 1 lost wound. In addition, when the reanimation protocols of a unit with this special rule are activated, add one die to the reanimation protocols pool for each model that is attempting to reanimate (es. three Lychguards are killed during a fight and their reanimation protocols activate, you roll 6 dices plus 3 additional dices, one per Lychguard attempting to reanimate).

*'''Quantum Shielding:''' ''Miracle of Necron engineering, this shield exists only in the moment of deflection, absorbing the energy of incoming attacks to block even the most powerful of blows.''
::This model has a 5+ invulnerable save. In addition, each time an attack is made against this model, an unmodified wound roll of 1-3 always fails, irrespective of any abilities that the weapon or the attacker may have.

*'''Reanimation Protocols:''' ''The moment a Necron is laid low, its metal body enacts complex self-repair routines, reattaching severed limbs and fusing together shattered armour plating.''
::Each time an enemy unit shoots or fights, after it makes its attacks, if any models in this unit were destroyed as a result of those attacks but this unit was not destroyed, this unit's reanimation protocols are enacted and those destroyed models begin to reassemble.
::Each time a unit's reanimation protocols are enacted, make Reanimation Protocol rolls for that unit by rolling a number of D6 equal to the combined Wounds characteristics of all the reassembling models. Each Reanimation Protocol roll of 5+ is put into a pool. A Reanimation Protocol roll can never be modified by more than -1 or +1.
::If the number of dice in that pool is greater than or equal to the Wounds characteristic of any of the reassembling models, select one of those models to be Reanimated. A Reanimated model:
::-Is added back to its unit with its full wounds remaining.
::-Can only set up within Engagement Range of enemy units that are already within Engagement Range of the Reanimated model's unit.
::-Cannot, if it is your Charge phase, be set up closer to any enemy units that are targets of a charge declared by its unit this phase.
::-No longer counts as having been destroyed for the purposes of Morale tests this turn.
::You then reduce the number of dice in that pool by a number equal to the Wounds characteristic of the Reanimated model and repeat this process until either there are no more reassembling models, or the number of dice remaining in the pool is less than the Wounds characteristic of any of the reassembling models. Any models that did not Reanimate fail to reassemble, and any dice remaining in the pool are discarded.

===Detachment Rules===
*'''Dynastic Agents and Star Gods:''' ''There are those who move amongst the dynasties and switch their allegiances as best suits their needs, or else are seen as naught but chattel to be used and discarded at will.''
::{{W40kKeyword|DYNASTIC AGENT}} and {{W40kKeyword|C'TAN SHARD}} units can be included in a {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} Detachment without preventing other units in that Detachment from gaining a Dynastic Code.
::{{W40kKeyword|DYNASTIC AGENT}} and {{W40kKeyword|C'TAN SHARD}} units never gain a Dynastic Code unless the {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} of their detachment matches that on their profile.
::You can include a maximum of one {{W40kKeyword|C'TAN SHARD}} model in each {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} Detachment in your army.

*'''Dynastic Codes:''' ''The scattered dynasties of the Necrontyr pursue many different paths to dominance, embracing their own traditions, arcane technologies and martial doctrines.''
::All {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} units with this ability, and all the models in them, gain a Dynastic Code so long as every unit in that Detachment is from the same dynasty. The Dynastic Code they gain depends upon which dynasty they are from.

*'''Objective Secured:''' ''The Necron dynasties are assured in their supremacy, for the galaxy was once theirs and will be again. All shall kneel before the might of the phaerons or be destroyed.''
::If your army is Battle-forged, all Troops units in {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} Detachments gain this ability. A player controls an objective marker if they have any models with this ability within range of that objective marker, even if there are more enemy models within range of that objective marker. If an enemy model within range of an objective marker also has this ability (or a similar ability), then the objective marker is controlled by the player who has the most models within range of that objective marker as normal.

*'''The Royal Court:''' ''A strict hierarchy dictates every aspect of the Necrons' Royal Court. Though titles such as Nemesor, Vargard or Hierophactor confer far-reaching duties and martial authority, it is literally encoded into the Necrons' personality engrams to offer ultimate deference to the highest-placed noble on the battlefield.
::When mustering your army, if it contains {{W40kKeyword|The Silent King}}, that model must be selected as your Warlord. Otherwise, if your army contains a {{W40kKeyword|Phaeron}} model, that model must be selected as your Warlord. Otherwise, if your army contains a {{W40kKeyword|Overlord}} or {{W40kKeyword|Praetorian Agent}} model, that model must me selected as your Warlord. Otherwise, if your army contains a {{W40kKeyword|Lord}} model, that model must be selected as your Warlord. If your army contains none of the listed models, select your Warlord as normal.

====Command Protocols====
''The Necron nobility make war in a codified and relentless fashion. Their command protocols crackle out across multi-dimensional spectra from carrier-wave projectors, compelling their semi-sentient soldiery into battle one overriding directive at a time.''

If every unit from your army (excluding {{W40kKeyword|DYNASTIC AGENT}}, {{W40kKeyword|C'TAN SHARD}} and {{W40kKeyword|UNALIGNED}} units) is from the same dynasty, and you select a {{W40kKeyword|NOBLE}} model to be your {{W40kKeyword|WARLORD}}, this unit is eligible to benefit from this ability and the following rules apply.

At the start of each battle round, if any {{W40kKeyword|caharcter}} units from your army are on the battlefield, select one command protocol from the roster; that command protocol becomes active for your army until the end of that battle round. Each command protocol is made up of two directives. When a command protocol becomes active for your army, select one of its directives. Until the assigned command protocol stops being active, all eligible units benefit from the selected directive.

A command protocol may not be selected more than once.

*'''Protocol of the Conquering Tyrant:''' ''The legions employ the strategies of their masters in perfect synchronicity, laying down hails of mechanically coordinated fire.''
::Directive 1: Add 3" to the range of this unit's aura abilities (to a maximum of 12") and increase the range of the following abilities this unit has by 3" (to a maximum of 12"): Lord's Will, My Will Be Done, Rites of Reanimation.
::Directive 2: This unit is eligible to shoot in a turn in which it Fell Back, but if it does, then until the end of the turn, each time a model in this unit makes a ranged attack, subtract 1 from that attack's hit roll.

*'''Protocol of the Eternal Warrior:''' ''Temporary dimensional shielding flickers into being around the Necrons as they stand tall upon the battlefield like graven statues.''
::Directive 1: Each time an attack is made against this unit, if it did not make a Normal Move, Advance or Fall Back this battle round, this unit receives the benefit of Light cover, as described in the Warhammer 40,000 Core Book.
::Directive 2: Each time an enemy unit declares a charge against this unit, if this unit is not within Engagement Range of any enemy units, it can either Hold Steady or Set to Defend. If it Holds Steady, then until the end of the phase, any Overwatch attacks made by models in that unit score hits on unmodified rolls of 5+ instead of 6. If it Sets to Defend, then until the end of the phase, it cannot fire Overwatch, but until the end of the next Fight phase, each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack, add 1 to that attack's hit roll.

*'''Protocol of the Hungry Void:''' ''The Necrons strike with data-augmented accuracy, their murderous attacks as inescapable as the killing cold of space.''
::Directive 1: Make a note of the number of enemy {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} models during the Fight phase by each friendly {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} unit. When making reanimating protocols for those units, add that number of dice to their reanimating protocols pool. These extra dice may be used to return models to the unit which were slain earlier in the battle, not just in this Fight phase.
::Directive 2: Each time an attack made during the Fight phase against a {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} unit results in an unmodified roll of 1, the attacking unit suffers one mortal wound.

*'''Protocol of the Slaughtering Madness:''' ''Blinded by a thirst for slaughter, Necron shells of broken minds launched themselves upon the enemy, their frantic attacks overwhelming anything they encounter.''
::Directive 1: Each time a model in this unit makes a melee attack, on an unmodified wound roll of 6, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1
::Directive 2: Each time a model in this unit makes a melee attack, if this unit made a charge move, was charged or performed a Heroic Intervention this turn, add 1 to that attack's Strength characteristic.

*'''Protocol of the Sudden Storm:''' ''Arcing energies leap from one Necron unit to the next, lending speed to their limbs and causing their eye lenses to blaze.''
::Directive 1: Add 1" to the Move characteristic of models in this unit.
::Directive 2: If this unit is performing an action, it can still make attacks with ranged weapons without that action failing.

*'''Protocol of the Undying Legion:''' ''At a hissing static signal, nanoscarabs are released in boiling black clouds that whirl about the legions and effect constant repairs.''
::Directive 1: Each time this unit uses its Living Metal ability, each model in this unit regains 1 additional lost wound.
::Directive 2: Each time you make Reanimation Protocol rolls for this unit, you can re-roll one of the dice.

*'''Protocol of the Vengeful Star:''' ''Criss-cross fire leaps from the Necron ranks, forming a blazing corona of deadly energy from which there can be no escape.''
::Directive 1: Each time a model in this unit makes a ranged attack, on an unmodified wound roll of 6, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.
::Directive 2: Each time a model in this unit makes a ranged attack that targets a unit within half range, the target does not receive the benefits of cover to its saving throw against that attack.

==Dynastic Codes==
*{{W40kKeyword|MAYNARKH}}''' - Blood-Hunger:''' ''This once great dynasty is now in ruins, its warriors and constructs eaten by the madness born by the Flayer's hatred. Like mindless zombies, these machines are only driven by one thing: the thought of hunger and blood.''
::Chose up to half of {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} units with this code (excluding special characters), those units automatically gain the {{W40kKeyword|Flayed}} keyword. In addition, Flayed Ones count as {{W40kKeyword|Troops}} and may be taken as a {{W40kKeyword|Troop}} choice and obtain the {{W40kKeyword|Core}} keyword.
::Each time a {{W40kKeyword|Flayed}} model with this code makes a melee attack, if that model's unit made a charge move, was charged, or performed a Heroic Intervention this turn, you can add 1 to the wound roll.
::When the Protocol of the Slaughtering Madness becomes active for your army, if every unit in your army (excluding {{W40kKeyword|DYNASTIC AGENT}} and {{W40kKeyword|C'TAN SHARD}} units) has this code, you can select both of that command protocol's directives instead of just one.

*{{W40kKeyword|MEPHRIT}}''' - Solar Fury:''' ''The Mephrit have harnessed the power of captive suns to power their weapons. This raging solar energy can sear through even the thickest armour with ease.''
::Add 3" to the Range characteristic of ranged weapons (excluding Pistols) that models with this code are equipped with.
::Each time a model with this code makes a ranged attack that targets a unit within half range, the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack is improved by 1.
::When the Protocol of the Vengeful Stars becomes active for your army, if every unit in your army (excluding {{W40kKeyword|DYNASTIC AGENT}} and {{W40kKeyword|C'TAN SHARD}} units) has this code, you can select both of that command protocol's directives instead of just one.

*{{W40kKeyword|NEPHREKH}}''' - Translocation Beams:''' ''The bodies of the Nephrekh are crafted from metagold. This rare and wondrous alloy allows them to transform into beams of pure light in order to teleport across open ground and even phase through solid matter.''
::Models with this code have a 6+ invulnerable save.
::Each time a unit with this code Advances, it can translocate. If it does, do not make an Advance roll for it. Instead, until the end of the phase, add 6" to the Move characteristic of models in that unit. If a unit translocates, until the end of the turn, models in that unit cannot shoot. Each time a unit with this code Falls Back or translocates, until the end of the phase, models in that unit can move across models and terrain as if they were not there.
::When the Protocol of the Sudden Storm becomes active for your army, if every unit in your army (excluding {{W40kKeyword|DYNASTIC AGENT}} and {{W40kKeyword|C'TAN SHARD}} units) has this code, you can select both of that command protocol's directives instead of just one.

*{{W40kKeyword|NIHILAKH}}''' - Aggressively Territorial:''' ''Regal and arrogant, the warriors of this proud dynasty will not give a single inch to their foes. They stand their ground defiantly, unleashing a formidably accurate hail of fire that cleanses the stain of the lesser races from their rightful lands.''
::Units with this code have the ''Objective Secured'' ability. If a model in such a unit already has this ability, that model counts as one additional model when determining control of an objective marker.
::Re-roll hit rolls of 1 for units with this code whenever they shoot, including when firing Overwatch, as long as they did not move in the preceding Movement phase.
::When the Protocol of the Eternal Guardian becomes active for your army, if every unit in your army (excluding {{W40kKeyword|DYNASTIC AGENT}} and {{W40kKeyword|C'TAN SHARD}} units) has this code, you can select both of that command protocol's directives instead of just one.

*{{W40kKeyword|NOVOKH}}''' - Awakened by Murder:''' ''The crimson hosts of Novokh remember well the sacred rites of blooding performed by their warriors in the ancient times. The dynasty’s proud martial heritage awakens a spark of violent pride within its legions, lending power and ferocity to their attacks.
::Add 1 to the charge rolls made for units with this code.
::Each time a model with this code makes a melee attack, if that model's unit made a charge move, was charged, or performed a Heroic Intervention this turn, you can re-roll the hit roll.
::When the Protocol of the Hungry Void becomes active for your army, if every unit in your army (excluding {{W40kKeyword|DYNASTIC AGENT}} and {{W40kKeyword|C'TAN SHARD}} units) has this code, you can select both of that command protocol's directives instead of just one.

*{{W40kKeyword|SAUTEKH}}''' - Relentless Advance:''' ''Nothing can halt the inexorable march of the Sautekh. These disdainful conquerors will stop at nothing to retake their ancient domain, obliterating any who dare defy them in a storm of death and destruction.''
::If a unit with this code Advances, it treats all ranged weapons it is equipped with as Assault weapons until the end of the turn (e.g. a Rapid Fire 1 weapon is treated as an Assault 1 weapon, and a Heavy D6 weapon is treated as an Assault D6 weapon etc.).
::Instead of following the normal rules for Rapid Fire weapons, models with this code shooting Rapid Fire weapons make double the number of attacks if the shooting model's target is within 18".
::When the Protocol of the Conquering Tyrant becomes active for your army, if every unit in your army (excluding {{W40kKeyword|DYNASTIC AGENT}} and {{W40kKeyword|C'TAN SHARD}} units) has this code, you can select both of that command protocol's directives instead of just one.

*{{W40kKeyword|SZAREKHAN}}''' - Uncanny Artificers:''' ''The Szarekhan dynasty exhibit a deep-rooted ability to fashion and maintain the finest wargear of any Necron dynasty. Enemy fire ricochets harmlessly from their magnificent android forms while, in return, every blast and blade stroke the Szarekhan level at their enemies is lethal in the extreme.''
::Each time a model with this code would lose a wound as the result of a mortal wound, roll one D6; on a 5+ that wound is not lost.
::Each time a unit with this code is selected to shoot or fight, you can re-roll one wound roll when making that unit's attacks.
::When the Protocol of the Undying Legions becomes active for your army, if every unit in your army (excluding {{W40kKeyword|DYNASTIC AGENT}} and {{W40kKeyword|C'TAN SHARD}} units) has this code, you can select both of that command protocol's directives instead of just one.

===Custom Dynastic Codes===
If your chosen dynasty does not have an associated Dynasty Code in Codex: Necrons: /tg/'s 9th Edition, you must instead create its Dynastic Code by selecting one code from the Dynastic Traditions list below. Unless you selected the Vassal Kingdom Dynastic Code, you can then also select one Additional code from the Circumstances of Awakening list below.

'''Dynastic Traditions:'''

*'''Aetheric Strikes:''' ''The arcane energies of this Dynasty pierce not only the physical plane but everything that waits across the veil.''

*'''Butchers:''' ''Whether they be battlefield vivisectors satisfying scientific curiosity or simply murderous by nature, this dynasty’s legions are eager to wreak bloody slaughter amongst the foe.''
::Add 1 to charge rolls made for units with this code.

*'''Contemptuous of the Codes:''' ''Rarely does this dynasty see any value in the ancient Triarchal codes that dictate the strategies of their peers. Instead, they eliminate their enemies’ leaders by any means necessary.''
::Each time a model with this code makes an attack against a {{W40kKeyword|Character}} unit, you can add 1 to that attack's hit roll.

*'''Disdain for the Weak:''' ''The weak must fall under the strong. Under the iron fists of the Necrons' legions, their enemies crumble, eaten away by the horror of death.''

*'''Immovable Phalanx:''' ''This dynasty see hastening into battle as unseemly - the province of primitive lesser beings. Instead, they form tight and unyielding battle lines to weather the excitable assaults of their foes.''
::Each time an attack with a Damage characteristic of 1 is allocated to an {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} model with this code, unless that model's unit made a Normal Move, Advanced or Fell Back this battle round, add 1 to any armor saving throws taken against that attack.

*'''Masters of the Martial:''' ''Having long prized martial excellence, this dynasty has become renowned for the lethal combat abilities of their legions.''
::Each time a unit with this code is selected to shoot or fight, you can re-roll one hit roll when making that unit's attacks.

*'''Pitiless Hunters:''' ''This dynasty has long viewed their enemies as little better than vermin, and seeks to scour them from the battlefield with overwhelming weight of fire.''
::Instead of following the normal rules for Rapid Fire weapons, models with this code shooting Rapid Fire weapons make double the number of attacks if either the shooting model's target is within half the weapon's range, or if the shooting model is {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} and its unit Remained Stationary in your previous Movement phase.

*'''Quantum Rebirth Protocols''' ''The protocols of this dynasty are embued with dark powers and science, making their number rise in orders greater than the fallen.''
::When the reanimation protocols of a unit with this code are activated, you can re-roll one failed roll, 3 if the unit is {{W40kKeyword|Core}}.

*'''Rad-Wreathed:''' ''Hailing as they do from tomb worlds long bombarded by cosmic energies, the soldiery of this dynasty have become saturated with spectra of lethal radiation. Foes who draw too close soon discover this to their cost.''

::If a {{W40kKeyword|Canoptek}} unit with this code hasn't moved in its Movement phase, add 1 to all its hit rolls until the beginning of your next turn. Units benefiting from this code cannot perform a charge move if they didn't move during their Movement phase.

*'''Superior Artisans:''' ''This dynasty employ their vast wealth of rare minerals to arm their legions with finely crafted and sublimely powerful weapons.''
::Each time a unit with this code is selected to shoot or fight, you can re-roll one wound roll when making that unit's attacks.

*'''The Unmerciful Horde:''' ''The warriors of this dynasty know no compassion nor fear towards the enemy on the battlefield.''

'''Circumstances of Awakening:'''

*'''Arise Against the Interlopers:''' ''This world was awakened by the presence of incautious intruders. Affronted, the risen legions seek to exact vengeance and make bloody examples at close quarters.''

*'''Greatness Long Lost:''' ''The once great empire of the dynasty has fallen into ashes. These furious warriors still remember the long-lost golden age and fight tirelessly to reconstruct it.''
::A unit with this code may re-roll failed hit rolls of 1 when it's Below Half Strength.

*'''Isolationists:''' ''This tomb world's rulers consider all around them to be a threat, be it the lesser races, old rival dynasties, or even the denizens of other worlds within their own dynasty! Whether this attitude is based upon dangers real or imagined, it has led to them perfecting weaponry capable of eliminating not only threats from outside their own species but also from within.''
::Each time a model with this code makes an attack with a Rapid Fire weapon that targets a unit within 12", add 1 to the Strength characteristic of that attack.

*'''Mindless Husks:''' ''The failed revivification protocols of this dynasty's tomb world have left its inhabitants as mindless husk devoided of will.''
::Units with this code automatically pass all Morale tests and roll the maximum value on any check made on their leadership value. In addition, units with this code can never benefit from Command Protocols.

::At the start of the first battle round, before the first turn begins, units with this code can make a Normal Move of up to 6".

*'''Slayers of Upstart Rulers:''' ''In a tomb world eaten away by an internal conflict, it isn't uncommon for an aspiring noble to assassinate his rivals to the throne. For this, his followers are well suited in the art of decapitation.''
::Units with this code may re-roll hit rolls of 1 against enemy {{W40kKeyword|Characters}}.

::Add 1" to the Move characteristic and charge distances of {{W40kKeyword|Canoptek}} models with this code. Each time a {{W40kKeyword|Canoptek}} unit with this code makes a pile-in or consolidate move, so long as each model that moves ends its move closer to the closest enemy model, you can move each model in that unit up to 4".

*'''Warrior Nobles:''' ''This tomb world's leaders are versed in the arts of combat and enhanced by their Crypteks. Perhaps they awoke to find their phaeron slain and were forced to fight for the throne, or perhaps they were beset by foes from the moment of their waking - in any case, only the strongest warriors have survived.''
::Each time a {{W40kKeyword|Noble}} model with this code makes a melee attack, re-roll a failed hit and wound rolls of 1.

==Destroyer Cults==
If a detachment in your army is composed of only {{W40kKeyword|<Destroyer Cult>}} units then choose one Cult from the ones below and replace the {{W40kKeyword|<Destroyer Cult>}} keyword with the corresponding Cult name. All units in that detachment benefit from that Cult's Creed but may not benefit from their Dynasty Traditions or any Command Protocol and may only be targeted by abilities that explicitly affect a {{W40kKeyword|<Destroyer Cult>}} unit.

*{{W40kKeyword|Cult of the Blood's Bath}}'''- Blood-thirsted Assault:''' ''The forces of this cult only desire more physical annihilation. They only feel any kind of fulfillment when ripping something into grizzly chunks, but as soon as the life has drained from their enemies' eyes they again crave more. Such Necrons push their forms to extreme lengths in order to gain this feeling, to bring true, gory annihilation.''
::Add 2 to the Movement characteristic and charge distances of units from this Cult. In addition, units from this Cult must move towards the closest enemy unit and must charge it (if two or more units are equally close, roll-off to decide). If an enemy unit is destroyed by attacks made from a unit from this Cult, and there are no other enemy units in Engagement Range, units from this Cult must consolidate 6" towards the nearest enemy unit.

*{{W40kKeyword|Cult of the Eternal Hatred}}'''- Unending Spite:''' ''Destroyers who follow this Cult's curse burn of a deep hatred for all things existent, to an extent even greater than that of other destroyers. When these insane monsters are put down by the blows of the living, their hatred bursts from their mechanical bodies, their wounds begin to repair as their deranged mind refuses to stand down at the attacks of such inferior and vile creatures.''
::Each time a model from this Cult would lose a wound, roll one D6; on a 6 that wound is not lost. In addition, when making the reanimation protocols for units from this Cult, add a number of dices to the dice pool equal to the number of models that are attempting to reanimate.

*{{W40kKeyword|Cult of the Unending Slaughter}}'''- Suppressive Blows:''' ''When freed on the battlefield, these deranged beasts immediately jump into a killing frenzy, extinguishing the light of life in a flurry of increasingly gruesome blows.''
::Each time an enemy model is destroyed by a ranged or melee attack made by a model from this Cult, after that model finishes making the rest of its attack, it can make one additional attack with the same weapon for every model killed. These attacks cannot generate additional attacks. In addition, each time this model makes an additional attack because of this rule, consider its Ballistic Skill and Weapon Skill as one point worse (for example, a Skorpekh Lord kills with its '''Enmitic Annihilator''' four enemy models, so it can make four more attacks using the same weapon profile but considers its BS to be 4+).

==Stratagems==
===Universal===
====Battle Tactic Stratagems====
*'''Amalgamated Targeting Data (1 CP):''' ''Synchronised targeting optics are fed to the Doom Scythe squadron, and they release a devastating pinpoint barrage.''
::Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase if a {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} {{W40kKeyword|Doom Scythe}} from your army is within 6" of 2 other friendly {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} {{W40kKeyword|Doom Scythes}}. The Doom Scythes cannot fire their death rays this phase – instead, select a point on the battlefield within 24" of all three vehicles that is visible to all of them. Roll a D6 for each unit within 3" of that point. Add 1 to the result if the unit being rolled for has 5 or more models, but subtract 1 if the unit being rolled for is a {{W40kKeyword|Character}}. On a 4+, that unit suffers 6D3 mortal wounds.

*'''Dimensional Corridor (1 CP):''' ''Obeying recall protocols, this unit step into a temporary dimensional displacement tunnel and re-emerge from the eternity gate of a nearby Monolith.''
::Use this Stratagem at the start of your Movement phase. Select one {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} {{W40kKeyword|Core}} {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} unit from your army that is on the battlefield. Remove that unit from the battlefield. In the Reinforcements step of this phase, set that unit back up on the battlefield anywhere that is wholly within 3" of a friendly {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} {{W40kKeyword|Monolith}}, {{W40kKeyword|Tomb Citadel}} or a {{W40kKeyword|Tomb World Gateway}} Eternity Gate and more than 1" away from any enemy models.

*'''Enhanced Dimensional Gate (1 CP):''' ''A shimmering dimensional portal yawns wide for a few moments, spilling yet more fleshless warriors into the fray.''
::Use this Stratagem before you set up a unit from Strategic Reserves using the ''Eternity Gate'' special rule of a {{W40kKeyword|Monolith}}, {{W40kKeyword|Tomb World Gateway}} or a {{W40kKeyword|Tomb Citadel}} from your army. You can set up two units from Strategic Reserves instead of one.

*'''Eternal Protectors (1 CP):''' ''Lychguard are the ultimate bodyguards; they never tire, never give a thought to their own safety over that of their master and fight all the harder as the danger to that master grows greater.''
::Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase. Select a {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} {{W40kKeyword|Lychguard}} unit from your army. Until the end of the phase, while that unit is within 3" of a friendly {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} {{W40kKeyword|Noble}} model or {{W40kKeyword|Dynastic Agent}} {{W40kKeyword|Noble}} model, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of each model in that unit.

*'''Extermination Protocols (2 CP):''' ''Destroyers have sacrificed every last ember of their souls in order to pursue the obliteration of all mortal life.''
::Use this Stratagem in your Shooting or Fight phase before attacking with a {{W40kKeyword|<Destroyer Cult>}} unit from your army. Re-roll all failed hit and wound rolls for that unit until the end of the phase.

*'''Fractal Targeting (1 CP):''' ''Augmentative targeting routines have been pre-programmed into these Tomb Blades' strategic engagement protocols, holding the craft momentarily level as they lock on to their victims and unleash a withering barrage of fire.''
::Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase. Select one {{W40kKeyword|Tomb Blades}} unit from your army. Until the end of the phase:
::-All Rapid Fire weapons that models in that unit are equipped with are treated as being Assault 2 weapons.
::-Models in that unit do not suffer the penalty to hit rolls incurred for firing Assault weapons in the same turn that their unit has Advanced.

*'''Judgment of the Triarch (1 CP):''' ''Those who defy the will of the Triarch are subject to swift and merciless retribution.''
::Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a {{W40kKeyword|Triarch}} unit is selected to shoot, or in the Fight phase, when a {{W40kKeyword|Triarch}} unit is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, add 1 to that attack's hit roll.

*'''Null Field Matrix (2-5 CP):''' ''Linked together in a powerful network, the Warp-repellent properties of Necron technology grow exponentially, encompassing the enemy units in a blanket of pure, null void.''
::Use this Stratagem at the beginning of any Command phase. Select from 2 to up to 5 friendly {{W40kKeyword|Null Pylon}} models at least within 18" of another; until the beginning of the following Command phase, extend the range of those models' ''Null Field'' special rule by 6" for each Null Pylon selected. This Stratagem costs a number of Command Points equal to the number of models selected.

*'''Stabilizing Thrusters (2 CP):''' ''Enormous thundering thrusters propel these instruments of massacre forward, ensuring no life form is too far away to hide from the incoming slaughter.''
::Use this Stratagem at the start of your Movement phase. Select one {{W40kKeyword|Lokhust Destroyers}}, {{W40kKeyword|Lokhust Heavy Destroyers}} or {{W40kKeyword|Lokhust Lord}} unit from your army. That unit can make an Advance move and still act as if it remained stationary for the remainder of the turn.

*'''Storm of Flensing Blades (2 CP):''' ''Driven into a grotesque frenzy by the hot gore sluicing through their innards, the Flayed Ones lay about themselves wildly with their vicious talons.''
::Use this Stratagem at the end of the Fight phase. Select one {{W40kKeyword|Flayed Ones}} unit from your army within Engagement Range of any enemy units; that unit can fight again.

*'''Techno-oracular Targeting (1 CP):''' ''Guided by the painstaking predictions of a conclave of astromancers, this shot strikes inescapably true.''
::Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, before making the wound roll for an attack made by a {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} model from your army. If your army contains at least one {{W40kKeyword|Astromancer}}, do not make a wound roll for that attack: it automatically wounds the target.

====Epic Deed Stratagems====
*'''Dimensional Destabilization (1/2 CP):''' ''As the powers of this C'tan Shard reshape reality, its aftershocks roll across the battlefield, triggering further cosmic phenomena.''
::Use this Stratagem at the end of your Movement phase, when a {{W40kKeyword|C'tan Shard}} model from your army has used a Power of the C'tan. Roll one D6; that model can immediately use the corresponding power from the Powers of the C'tan, even if it has already been used this turn. If that model has the {{W40kKeyword|Titanic}} keyword, this Stratagem costs 2CP; otherwise, it costs 1CP.

*'''Entropic Strike (2 CP):''' ''The disruption field emanating from this warrior’s weapon is so powerful that it entirely obliterates matter from existence.''
::Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase when a {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} {{W40kKeyword|Character}} from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a melee attack is made by that model, invulnerable saving throws cannot be taken against that attack.

*'''Resurrection Protocols (1 CP):''' ''Necron rulers possess sophisticated self-repair systems that can knit together even the most grievous wounds.''
::Use this Stratagem in any phase, when a {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} {{W40kKeyword|Noble}} or {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} {{W40kKeyword|Cryptek}} model from your army is destroyed. You can choose to roll one D6 at the end of the phase instead of using any rules that are triggered when that model is destroyed (e.g. the Surrogate Hosts abilities). If you do, then on a 4+, set that model back up on the battlefield as close as possible to where they were destroyed and more than 1" away from any enemy models, with D3 wounds remaining. This Stratagem cannot be used to set the same model back up more than once per battle.

*'''Strange Echoes (1 CP):''' ''Battling its imprisonment, this C'tan Shard shows a flicker of will as it molds its powers anew to the alarm of friend and foe alike.''
::Use this Stratagem in your Command phase. Select one {{W40kKeyword|C'tan Shard}} model from your army. Select one of the powers from the Powers of the C'tan that the model does not know. The selected power replaces one of the Powers of the C'tan that the model does know.

*'''The Deathless Arise (1 CP):''' ''Focusing all of its talents, this Technomancer drags rank upon rank of sundered Necron soldiery back to their feet.''
::Use this Stratagem in your Command phase. Select one {{W40kKeyword|Technomancer}} model from your army. Until the end of the phase, that model can use its Rites of Reanimation ability one additional time.

====Requisition Stratagems====
*'''Court of the Tomb World (1/2 CP):''' ''An overlord may grow of so much influence to have an entire crowd of nobles and cryptek who follow him to battle.''
::Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army. Select one {{W40kKeyword|Overlord}} in your army; up to two {{W40kKeyword|Lord}} and/or {{W40kKeyword|Cryptek}} units may be taken alongside him in any combination without taking up additional Battlefield Role slots. This Stratagem costs 1 CP if it targets an {{W40kKeyword|Overlord}} and 2 CPs if it targets a {{W40kKeyword|Phaeron}}, although in that case, one of those Cryptek can be a {{W40kKeyword|Hierophactor}}.

*'''Destoyer of All Life (2 CP):''' ''A title often devoided of meaning in the courts of the dynasties, this dark epithet finds purpose in the deranged eyes of the destroyer lords, who wear it as a badge of honor and fulfillment.''
::Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army. Select one {{W40kKeyword|<Destroyer Cult>}} {{W40kKeyword|Character}} from your army. That model gains the {{W40kKeyword|Maktlan}} keyword and each time this model makes an attack, you can re-roll the wound roll. You can only use this Stratagem once.

*'''Dynastic Heirlooms (1 CP):''' ''In times of need, the phaerons will order the relic-vaults emptied, their priceless contents distributed amongst the legions.''
::Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if your Warlord has the {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} keyword. Select one {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} {{W40kKeyword|Character}} model (excluding {{W40kKeyword|C'tan Shard}} models) in your army and give them one Relic (this must be a Relic they can have). Each Relic in your army must be unique, and you cannot use this Stratagem to give a model two Relics. You can only use this Stratagem once, unless you are playing a Strike Force battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem twice), or an Onslaught battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem three times).

*'''High Cryptek of the Court (1 CP):''' ''Despite not being a noble, Hierophactors have a powerful presence in the hierarchy of a Tomb World, frequently gathering around themselves courts of lesser Crypteks and lackey lords.''
::Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army. If a {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} detachment in your army does not contain a model with the {{W40kKeyword|Hierophactor}} keyword, select one {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} {{W40kKeyword|Cryptek}} from your army (excluding named characters). That model gains the {{W40kKeyword|Hierophactor}} keyword, and it can take one additional item from the Cryptek Arkana list. You can only have one {{W40kKeyword|Hierophactor}} model per {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} in your army.

*''' Pyrrhian Eternals (2 CP):''' ''Loyal beyond everything, these sworn warriors of Anrakyr march onward with their reinforced necrodermis, fighting tirelessly for the glory of reunification.''
::Use this Stratagem when mustering your army, only if it contains Anrakyr the Traveller. Select one Immortal unit from your army, that unit loses its {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} keyword but obtains the {{W40kKeyword|Dynastic Agent}} keyword and the ''Living Metal'' special rule. In addition, add 1 to the Wounds and Attacks characteristic of models in that unit.

*'''Rarefied Nobility (1 CP):''' ''In a show of arrogant superiority, the Necrons' leader has brought the cream of their noble allies to war at their side.''
::Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if your Warlord has the {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} keyword. Select one {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} {{W40kKeyword|Character}} model (excluding {{W40kKeyword|C'tan Shard}} models) in your army and determine one Warlord Trait for that model (this must be a Warlord Trait they can have); that model is only regarded as your Warlord for the purposes of that Warlord Trait. Each Warlord Trait in your army must be unique (if randomly-generated, re-roll duplicate results), and you cannot use this Stratagem to give a model two Warlord Traits. You can only use this Stratagem once, unless you are playing a Strike Force battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem twice), or an Onslaught battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem three times).

*'''Tyrant of the Crown World (2 CP):''' ''The word of the Phaeron is absolute, there is no Necron being under its control that can oppose to its commands.''
::Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army. If a {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} detachment in your army does not contain a model with the {{W40kKeyword|Phaeron}} keyword, select one {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} {{W40kKeyword|Overlord}} from your army (excluding named characters). That model gains the {{W40kKeyword|Phaeron}} keyword, and in your Command phase it can use its ''My Will Be Done'' special rule one additional time. In addition, each time a {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} {{W40kKeyword|Core}} unit within 6" of this model makes an attack, you can re-roll the hit roll. You can only have one {{W40kKeyword|Phaeron}} model per {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} in your army and this Stratagem may not be used on a {{W40kKeyword|Maynarkh}}, {{W40kKeyword|Sautekh}} and {{W40kKeyword|Szarekhan}} models.

====Strategic Ploy Stratagems====
*'''Adaptive Subroutines (2 CP):''' ''The Crypteks have invested their mechanical constructs with complex hunter-killer algorithms.''
::Use this Stratagem after a {{W40kKeyword|Canoptek}} unit from your army has Advanced. That unit can still shoot and/or charge this turn.

*'''Aetheric Interception (1 CP):''' ''With hunters' instincts honed over eons, the Deathmarks pounce precisely at the moment their prey enter battle, gunning them down before they can even act.''
::Use this Stratagem in the Reinforcements step of your opponent's Movement phase, after an enemy unit has been set up on the battlefield. Select one {{W40kKeyword|Hyperspace Hunter}} unit from your army that is either on the battlefield, in a hyperspace dimension, or in Strategic Reserves.
::-If that {{W40kKeyword|Hyperspace Hunter}} unit is in a hyperspace dimension or in Strategic Reserves, set it up anywhere on the battlefield that is within 18" of that enemy unit and more than 9" away from any enemy models.
::-That {{W40kKeyword|Hyperspace Hunter}} unit can, at the end of the phase, shoot as if it were your Shooting phase, but until the end of the phase it can only target the enemy unit that was just set up on the battlefield (and only if that enemy unit is an eligible target for that attack).

*'''Atavistic Instigation (1 CP):''' ''As the Doom Scythe screams overhead, its foes search for any cover lest they too be disintegrated in the ensuing onslaught.''
::Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a {{W40kKeyword|Doom Scythe}} model from your army is selected to shoot. After you select the target unit for that model's Heavy Death Ray, select one enemy unit (that is not a {{W40kKeyword|Vehicle}} or a {{W40kKeyword|Monster}} unit) within 3" of that target (you can select the target itself if you wish); that enemy unit can either brace or duck for cover.
::-If that unit braces, it suffers D3 mortal wounds.
::-If that unit ducks for cover, then until the end of the turn, subtract l from the Attacks characteristic of models in that unit, and that unit cannot fire Overwatch or ''Set to Defend''.

*'''Burrowing Nightmares (1 CP):''' ''Writhing and hissing, these Ophydian Destroyers plunge back into the bedrock with slashing claw strokes and flickering dimensional displacements. The foe looks on fearfully, knowing that the murderous androids will not remain buried for long.''
::Use this Stratagem at the start of your Movement phase. Select one {{W40kKeyword|Ophydian Destroyers}} or {{W40kKeyword|Ophydian Lord}} unit from your army that is on the battlefield. Remove that unit from the battlefield. In the Reinforcements step of your next Movement phase, you can set that unit back up on the battlefield anywhere that is more than 9" away from any enemy models. If the battle ends and that unit is not on the battlefield, it is destroyed.

*'''Curse of the Phaeron (1/3 CP):''' ''Necron nobles are jealously protective of their armory - should foes destroy such a jewel of the dynastic hoard, they risk triggering vengeance protocols intended to demonstrate the Necrons' displeasure in an explosive fashion.''
::Use this Stratagem in any phase, when a {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} {{W40kKeyword|Vehicle}} model from your army is destroyed. Do not roll to see if that model explodes: it does so automatically. If that model has the {{W40kKeyword|Titanic}} keyword, this Stratagem costs 3CP; otherwise, it costs 1 CP.

*'''Damage Control Overrides (1/2 CP):''' ''Its self-repair routines overridden, the vehicle briefly operates at peak efficiency despite being critically damaged.''
::Use this Stratagem in the Command phase. Select one {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} {{W40kKeyword|Vehicle}} model from your army that has a Wounds characteristic of 10 or more. Until the start of your next Command phase, that model is considered to have its full wounds remaining for the purposes of determining what characteristics on its profile to use. If that model has the {{W40kKeyword|Titanic}} keyword, this Stratagem costs 2CP; otherwise, it costs 1CP.

*'''Emergency Dimensional Corridor (1 CP):''' ''Before it is destroyed, the Necron construct shifts all power to its dimensional gateway, beaming in warriors to take its place.''
::Use this Stratagem when a {{W40kKeyword|Night Scythe}} from your army is destroyed. Do not roll for the embarked models, they all automatically survive.

*'''From the Dust We Rise (2/3 CP):''' ''It is impossible to destroy the mechanical hordes of the Necron. Even when they fall, they just rise up again from the ground and continue their endless advance.''
::Use this Stratagem when a unit with the ''Reanimation Protocols'' special rule is completely destroyed by an enemy unit's attack. That unit’s reanimation protocols are enacted, and every destroyed model in that unit begins to reassemble. This Stratagem can only be used once for each unit.

::Use this Stratagem in your opponent's Shooting phase, when a {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} unit from your army is selected as the target of an attack. Select one {{W40kKeyword|Canoptek Reanimator}} model in your army that is within 6" of and visible to the targeted unit. That model can use its Nanoscarab Reanimation Beam ability as if it was your Command phase, selecting the targeted unit to be healed by its reanimation beam (any unit that was already being healed by that model's reanimation beam is no longer considered to be healed by it).

::-At the end of the phase, that {{W40kKeyword|Canoptek Doomstalker}} model can shoot as if it were your Shooting phase, but it can only target that enemy unit (and only if that enemy unit is an eligible target for that attack).
::-Until the end of the battle, each time that {{W40kKeyword|Canoptek Doomstalker}} model makes an attack that targets that enemy unit, add 1 to that attack's hit roll.

*'''Self Destruction (1 CP):''' ''The self-destruct protocols of Canoptek Scarabs cause them to explode in a hail of razor-sharp armor fragments.''
::Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a {{W40kKeyword|Canoptek Scarab Swarms}} unit from your army is selected to fight. Select one model in that unit. After that unit has finished piling in, you can select one enemy unit within Engagement Range of that model and roll one D6: on a 2-5, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds; on a 6, that enemy unit suffers 3 mortal wounds. The {{W40kKeyword|Canoptek Scarab Swarm}} model is then destroyed.

*'''Shadows of Drazar (1 CP):''' ''These Flayed Ones have drawn the crawling shadows of their charnel realm through the veil with them. Now, they slink ever closer to the enemy, their red eyes glowing like eerie lanterns from amidst coiling curtains of ice-cold darkness.''

====Wargear Stratagems====
*'''Disruption Fields (1 CP):''' ''The thrumming aura of negative energy known as a disruption field warps and dissolves both armor and flesh.''
::Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} unit from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, add 1 to the Strength characteristic of models in that unit.

*'''Matter Annihilation (2 CP):''' ''The antimatter enchased into this weapon is held with force and then unleashed fully on the enemy in a single salvo. This can prove fatal to the bearer as the annihilating reaction can occur inside the weapon itself, though the incredible destructive power it can provide is well worth the risk.''
::Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} or {{W40kKeyword|Biker}} unit from your army is shooting with a Particle weapon. Choose one model in the unit, and roll a die; on a 1 it is immediately slain (this model can't be reanimated later) and each unit within 3" of it suffers D3 mortal wounds.

*'''Funeral Mask:''' ''This Ancient Necrontyr funeral mask contains a fragment of Aza'Gorod's ethereal body. On the field, the mask acts as a black sink of life, projecting the fear of death into the enemies, making them shake with existential dread.''
::Enemy units cannot fire Overwatch at a model with the Funeral Mask and enemy units within 1" of the bearer are not eligible to fight until after all eligible units from your army have done so. In addition, enemy units within 6" of this model must subtract 2 from their Leadership characteristic.

*'''Gauntlet of the Conflagrator:''' ''Crafted by the Cryptek Harri’apt the Conflagrator, this gauntlet uses interdimensional energy-exchangers to open a microscopic conduit to the raging heart of a star. The superheated plasmic flame that erupts through this hole is forced down a cone of hyperdense gravitons that spew the energy forth in a blazing cloud of unstoppable fury.''
::This Relic replaces a Gauntlet of Fire. Once per battle, select an enemy unit within 18" of this model, then roll a D6; on a 2+ that unit suffers 3D3 mortal wounds.

*'''Lightning Field:''' ''This formidable adaptation of tesla weapon technology is a defensive shield that surrounds the bearer with a web of emerald lightning. Any foe that attempts to draw close is engulfed in this living electricity, and swiftly transformed into a blackened, smoking skeleton.''
::The bearer of the Lightning Field has a 4+ invulnerable save. In addition, roll a D6 for each enemy unit that is within 1" of the bearer at the start of the Fight phase. On a 4+ that unit suffers a mortal wound.

*'''Mindshackle Scarabs:''' ''Thousands of miniature canoptek scarabs swarm from the necrodermis body of the wielder, entering the blood vessels of the victim and reaching the central nervous system, where they can control it like a puppet under the pharaoh's will.''
::At the beginning of the Fight phase, before any blows are struck, select a model within 1" of a model with Mindshackle Scarabs and roll 3D6, if the result is higher than that model's Leadership characteristic, that model cannot attack any of your units and has to attack his own unit or another enemy one within 3" (you choose which one).

*'''Nanoscarab Casket:''' ''Invented by the Cryptek scientist known as the Onyx Swarm, this unassuming vial of black crystal is filled with thousands of tiny writhing Canoptek automatons. Once released, the swarm of miniaturized constructs envelops the bearer’s necrodermis, repairing grievous wounds and flooding their body with synthetic stimuli.''
::Model with Phylactery only. The bearer regains D3 lost wounds at the beginning of your opponent's turn instead of just your own. The first time the bearer is slain, roll a D6. On a 4+ set the bearer up again at the end of the phase, as close as possible to its previous position, and more than 1" from any enemy models, with D6 wounds remaining (if the roll exceeds the maximum number of wounds of that model, it's instead brought back with all its wounds).

*'''Sempiternal Weave:''' ''Only the finest Cryptek artificers know the secret of crafting a Sempiternal Weave. These gossamer-thin plates are formed from phase-hardened amaranthine and threads of adamantium. They are then layered over the bearer’s carapace of living metal, and when struck they stiffen and contract, turning aside energy blades, bolt shells and even the searing heat of a plasma burst.''
::Add 1 to the Toughness and Wounds characteristics of the bearer.

*'''Tesseract Labyrinth:''' ''Disguised as a simple cube, the Tesseract Labyrinth is the physical manifestation of a pocket-dimensional prison gateway, used by the Necrons to imprison those enemies they find too difficult to face directly head-on. These arcane relics are extremely dangerous as once one is trapped inside, there is no escape.''
::Once per battle, before the model with the Tesseract Labyrinth attacks, select an {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} enemy model that is within 1" of it. Roll a die, if the result is equal or higher than that model's wound characteristic, remove it from play.

*'''The Arrow of Infinity:''' ''This advanced tachyon weapon contains a gravitationally compressed sliver of the Star of Ages, the magnificent energy crystal that was the heart of the Khosyphane civilization, The Crypteks of the Mandrakyn Conclave eradicated the Khosyphane to seize the crystal, and now use its tremendous destructive force to subjugate new foes.''

On a hit roll of 1, the bearer is immediately slain.

*'''The Nightmare Shroud:''' ''This heavy cloak of living-metal scales was forged by Ut-Hekneth the Unsleeping during his million-year madness. The cloak itself is virtually indestructible, each scale formed from quantum-folded layers of void-hardened adamantium bonded with a hyper-flexible energy weave. This is a by-product of its primary design, however, which is to project the worst excesses of Ut-Hekneth’s madness, assailing nearby enemies with phantasms of dread as potent as any mortal danger.''
::The bearer's Save characteristic is improved by 1 (i.e. a Save characteristic of 4+ becomes 3+, a Save characteristic of 3+ becomes 2+ etc.) In addition, enemy units subtract 1 from their Leadership characteristic whilst they are within 6" of the bearer of the Nightmare Shroud.

*'''The Orb of Eternity:''' ''The Orb of Eternity is thought to be the first resurrection orb ever created. For millennia, it rested in a primitive fane on the world of Ormandus, where the indigenous populace marveled at its seemingly divine ability to effect repairs upon their technologies. Ever since this state of affairs was righted by a host of Triarch Praetorians, the orb is imparted as a boon to those nobles who are deemed worthy.''
::This relic replaces a resurrection orb. Once per battle, in your Command phase, the bearer can use this Relic. If it does, select one friendly {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} unit within 6" of the bearer that is not at its Starting Strength and has not had its reanimation protocols enacted this phase. That unit's reanimation protocols are enacted, and every destroyed model in that unit begins to reassemble. Each time a Reanimation Protocol roll is made for those reanimation protocols, add 1 to the result.

*'''The Veil of Darkness:''' ''This device was fashioned from transpositanium, a substance so rare that it can only be found in a handful of places in the galaxy. It is highly sought after by the Necrons, and wars have been waged to secure it. Activated with a thought, the veil causes space and time to warp around its user and those near them, enfolding them in a swirling darkness. As the darkness fades, the user and their comrades appear elsewhere on the battlefield, transported through a miracle of arcane science.''
::Once per battle, in your Movement phase, the bearer can use this Relic. If it does, the bearer's unit and up to one friendly {{W40kKeyword|<DYNASTY>}} {{W40kKeyword|Core}} {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} unit within 3" of the bearer can be removed from the battlefield and set back up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models. If two units are set back up on the battlefield using this Relic, both units must be placed wholly within 6" of each other.

*'''Voidreaper:''' ''Legend has it that on the day Aza’gorod the Nightbringer was sundered into shards, this warscythe appeared in the armory of the Nekthyst Dynasty’s crownworld. Its blade is a sliver of the void, and when swung, it cuts through more than just mere physical forms. Its victims drop to the ground as husks, their souls torn from their bodies like tattered shrouds before dissipating with final screams of horror.''
::This Relic replaces a Warscythe and has the following profile:

====Dynasty Specific====
*'''{{W40kKeyword|MAYNARKH}} - The Butcher Sword:''' ''An ancient sword property of the Maynarkh dynasty imbued with the flayer virus. This weapon seems to possess a mind of its own and actively seeks gruesome conflicts, driving the owner's hand into the massacre to bathe in the enemy blood.''
::This Relic replaces a Hyperphase Sword.

These extra attacks cannot themselves generate any further attacks.
|}

*'''{{W40kKeyword|MEPHRIT}} - The Voltaic Staff:''' ''The Mephrit are masters of the art of aethermancy, and the greatest of their creations is the Voltaic Staff. Blazing arcs of lightning continuously ripple down the shaft of this onyx stave, and the bearer can send these electrostatic beams hurtling towards his enemies with fearsome rapidity. Living targets are enveloped in a searing halo of bone-charring voltage, while vehicles find their guidance systems burned out and their hulls peeled open.''

*'''{{W40kKeyword|NEPHREKH}} - The Solar Staff:''' ''Forged within the Heliaconvarium of Aryand, the Solar Staff burns with the light of truth and honor. Set loose, the staff’s energies blaze outward in a mighty flare, as though a new sun was born. The darkness is driven back by this false dawn, and the foe reels as their eyes are blinded and their deceptions are laid bare.''

|}

*'''{{W40kKeyword|NIHILAKH}} - Timesplinter Cloak:''' ''Fashioned by the chronomancers of the Nihilakh Dynasty, this relic grants the bearer the ability to alter their destiny. This glittering shroud is formed from slivers of crystallized time, and the bearer can expend the power of these shards to glimpse a matrix of potential futures. The knowledge granted by this foresight allows them to perform incredible feats in battle.''
::Once per turn, you can re-roll a single hit roll, wound roll, or damage roll made for the bearer of the Timesplinter Cloak. In addition, roll a dice each time the bearer loses a wound; on a 5+, the model does not lose that wound.

*'''{{W40kKeyword|NOVOKH}} - The Blood Scythe:''' ''It is said that Ultep the Divider fought ten thousand duels, and was never once defeated. He is amongst the greatest heroes of the Novokh, venerated to this day by the dynasty’s warrior cults. Only the untrammeled power of a rampaging C’tan finally scattered Ultep’s metal body to atoms, though his crimson war scythe survived his destruction. Forged from sanguiphagic starmetal alloys, a single cut from this blade can siphon a torrent of blood from an opponent.''

|}

*'''{{W40kKeyword|SAUTEKH}} - The Abyssal Staff:''' ''To succumb to the swirling ebon mist called forth from an abyssal staff is to be swallowed by impenetrable madness. Legend has it that Sautekh Crypteks have embedded each of these artefacts with a tiny sliver from the necrodermis of the Deceiver, allowing the bearer to summon wisps of shadow imbued with the star god’s anarchic insanity. These emanations drive victims to tear at their flesh and gouge out their eyes, gibber uncontrollably, or open fire on their allies.''

Roll 3D6 if a unit is hit by this weapon in the Shooting phase; if the result is equal to or greater than the target unit's highest Leadership characteristic, then it suffers D3 mortal wounds.
|}

*'''{{W40kKeyword|SZAREKHAN}} - The Sovereign Coronal:''' ''A hand of living quicksilver, this strange artefact is shot through with artificial networks of command-wave nanocircuitry. This strange pseudo-animate crown is gifted to especially prominent nobles amongst the Szarekhan Dynasty. As it is donned it sinks through the metallic skin of its wearer's brow and meshes with their synthetic cortex, enhancing and projecting their dominating will through multiple spectra across a substantial distance.''
::The bearer has the following special rules:
::'''Command-wave Amplifier (Aura):''' While a friendly {{W40kKeyword|SZAREKHAN}} unit is within 9" of the bearer, that unit benefits from the selected directive of your army's active command protocol while it is within 9" of a friendly {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} {{W40kKeyword|Character}} model (excluding {{W40kKeyword|C'tan Shard}} models), instead of 6".
::'''Synthetic Cortex Enhancer (Aura):''' While a friendly {{W40kKeyword|SZAREKHAN}} {{W40kKeyword|Core}} unit is within 9" of the bearer, that unit benefits from both directives of your army's active command protocol, instead of just the selected one.

===Cryptek Arkana===
*'''Atavindicator:''' ''Employing psycho-interrogative transoptic projectors, this cruel device plucks the target's most primitive fears from their mind and projects them in a bewildering assault upon their field of vision. Bombarded by horrible visions of their own onrushing death, foes are likely to harm themselves in an effort to escape their hallucinatory fate, or else suffer crippling psychological and physical side effects from their state of abject terror.''
::{{W40kKeyword|Psychomancer}} model only. At the end of your Movement phase, select one enemy unit (excluding {{W40kKeyword|Vehicle}} units) within 18" of the bearer and roll 3D6; if the total is equal to or greater than that enemy unit's Leadership characteristic, it suffers D3 mortal wounds.

*'''Cortical Subjugator Scarabs:''' ''Paranoid and self-obsessed, this Cryptek has seen to it that key underlings are infested - without their knowledge, of course - with a specialized variant of mind shackle scarabs. In an emergency, these allow the parasitized minion to be activated, their thought patterns overridden by the singular and overwhelming desire to storm into battle and protect their master, no matter the cost.''
::Once per battle, at the start of the Heroic Interventions step of your opponent's Charge phase, you can select one friendly {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} unit within 6" of the bearer. Unless that unit is within Engagement Range of any enemy units, it can perform a Heroic Intervention as if it were a {{W40kKeyword|Character}}.

*'''Countertemporal Nanomines:''' ''Released from a hive-gem about the bearer's person, a swarm of nanoscarabs sweep out and lace the ground before them with microscopic temporal charges. Foes advancing into this invisible minefield find reality stuttering and glitching around them as they trigger one minute chronofault after another.''
::{{W40kKeyword|Chronomancer}} model only. In your Shooting phase, you can select one enemy unit within 18" of the bearer. Until the start of your next turn, halve Advance rolls and charge rolls made for that unit.

*'''Crust Destabilizer:''' ''At the activation of this device, the ground around the cryptek begins to shift and erupt. Buildings are eradicated, hills are rewritten and the enemy is deprived of any means to hide from the incoming salvos.''
::{{W40kKeyword|Geomancer}} model only. Once per battle, at the beginning of your Command phase, you can select one piece of terrain or {{W40kKeyword|Building}} within 18" of this model; if it's a terrain, then its terrain traits are replaced with "Difficult Ground and Exposed Position". If it's a {{W40kKeyword|Building}}, it suffers 2D3 mortal wounds instead.

*'''Cryptogeometric Adjuster:''' ''Keyed to trigger vertiginous responses in the sensory apparatus of non-Necron life forms, this malicious device causes nearby foes to shoot wildly and inaccurately as their perception of space and time warps in a dizzying rush.''
::At the start of your opponent's Shooting phase, you can select one enemy unit that is within 12" of and visible to the bearer. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, subtract 1 from that attack's hit roll.

*'''Dimensional Sanctum:''' ''This Cryptek has had a personal dimensional pocket-reality crafted for them, from which they can emerge into battle at will.''
::The bearer gains the ''Dimensional Translocation'' special rule.

*'''Ether Crystal:''' ''In the hands of a Plasmancer, this glowing crystal is an incredible source of destruction. Bolts of lightning strike from the sky and black clouds cover the sun as the victims of the Cryptek's wrath are torn apart by the force of nature.''
::{{W40kKeyword|Plasmancer}} model only. Once per battle, at the beginning of your Command phase, you can select one enemy unit within 18" of this model; that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds. In addition, until the beginning of your next Command phase, that unit and every unit within 6" of it must subtract one from their hit rolls.

*'''Fail-Safe Overcharger:''' ''By triggering the override protocols embedded in this stave, the bearer can activate the guardian fail-safes in nearby Canoptek constructs. Believing the Master Program of their tomb world to be under direct assault, the constructs access hidden power reservoirs and enter a furious state of aggressive overdrive.''
::{{W40kKeyword|Technomancer}} model only. In your Command phase, you can select one friendly {{W40kKeyword|Canoptek}} unit within 9" of the bearer. Until the start of your next Command phase, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of models in that unit. If that unit is a {{W40kKeyword|Monster}} or {{W40kKeyword|Vehicle}} unit, add D3 to the Attacks characteristic of models in that unit instead of 1.

*'''Hypermaterial Ablator:''' ''By simply pointing and activating this slender quasinium rod, the bearer shrouds their targeted allies in a whirling field of accumulated hyper matter.''
::In your Command phase, you can select one friendly {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} {{W40kKeyword|Core}} or {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} {{W40kKeyword|Canoptek}} unit within 9" of the bearer. Until the start of your next Command phase, each time a ranged attack is made against that unit, if the attacker is more than 12" away, then the unit you selected is treated as having the benefits of Light Cover.

*'''Metalodermal Tesla Weave:''' ''This microsilicate weave generates a cyclical electrostatic overload that, providing its user triggers it in time, sends arcing lightning leaping out to roast onrushing attackers.''
::At the end of the Charges step of your opponent's Charge phase, you can select one enemy unit that finished a charge move within 6" of the bearer this phase. Roll one D6; on a 2+ that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.

*'''Multi-linear Destiny Analyzer:''' ''Reading the stars, this Cryptek's cortex is able to track the course of destiny, identifying its branches and blocking the reach of one target's.''
::{{W40kKeyword|Astromancer}} model only. At the beginning of your Command phase, you can select an enemy unit that is visible to this model. Until the beginning of your next Command phase, your opponent can't use any Stratagem on that unit.

*'''Photonic Transubjector:''' ''This device fashions temporary, hard-light hologrammatic simulacra of its user to bewilder attackers and confound assassins.''
::Once per turn, the first time a saving throw is failed for the bearer, the Damage characteristic of that attack is changed to 0.

*'''Phylacterine Hive:''' ''Held in a stabilized flux-field within this small mica-steel orb is a swarm of particularly potent, if short-lived, nanoscarabs. By deactivating the field, then tossing the hive into the midst of a friendly Necron unit, these quick-burning repair drones can be unleashed to restore the physical forms of even the most complex or unusual android soldiery.''
::{{W40kKeyword|Technomancer}} model only. Once per battle, when the bearer uses its Rites of Reanimation ability, you can revive one additional model in the unit.

*'''Prismatic Obfuscatron:''' ''The bearer of this glimmering inter-spatial gem is surrounded by a multispectral glare so dazzling to organic sight, and so bewildering to artificial senses, that they resemble nothing less than a blazing star. Even looking at them is a trial, much less attempting to fire upon them. Only as they draw nearer does the cosmic glamour subside and the bearer resolves into their true self.''
::Unless the bearer is the closest eligible target, enemy models cannot target it with ranged attacks.

*'''Quantum Orb:''' ''This smooth and featureless orb is activated by the depression of a series of hidden triggers across its surface in a particular sequence. This act releases the safeguard fields within it one at a time. When the last of these is released, the device is annihilated along with those nearby as it frees the collapsing quantum singularity at its heart.''
::{{W40kKeyword|Plasmancer}} model only. Once per battle, in your Command phase, the bearer can activate this item of Cryptek Arkana. If it does, select one point on the battlefield anywhere within 24" of the bearer and place a marker on that point. At the start of your next Command phase, roll one D6 for each unit within 6" of the center of that marker, subtracting 1 if the unit being rolled for is a {{W40kKeyword|Character}}. On a 4-5, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds, and on a 6, that unit suffers 3 mortal wounds. The marker is then removed.

*'''Seismic Crucible:''' ''This small hand-held device is capable of emitting earth-shattering pulses that reap the ground and open the enemy for retaliation.''
::{{W40kKeyword|Geomancer}} model only. At the beginning of your Command phase, you can select one enemy unit within 18" of this model; until the beginning of your next Command phase, that unit must halve its charge distances and may not choose to Hold Steady or Set for Defence.

*'''Stellar Alignment Projection:''' ''Through this intricately crafted heirloom, an Astromancer is able to read the wisdom of the stars, gifting their secrets to its master.''
::{{W40kKeyword|Astromancer}} model only. At the beginning of your Command phase, roll a die; if the result is equal or lower to the current battle round number, you gain one Command Point.

*'''Synaptic Horror Implanter:''' ''An irradiating light emitting from the Cryptek's wrist breaks the minds of those who watch it, greatly impacting the fear region of their brain.''
::{{W40kKeyword|Psychomancer}} model only. In your enemy Morale phase, you can select one enemy unit within 12" of this model; until the end of the Phase, that unit must halve its Leadership characteristic.

*'''Temporal Flux Manipulator:''' ''Shifting the temporal lines of the target, this device can invert the effects of time, repairing damage sustained by erasing it in the first place.''
::{{W40kKeyword|Chronomancer}} model only. In your Command phase, you can select one friendly {{W40kKeyword|<Dynasty>}} model; that unit immediately recovers D3 previously lost wounds. Each model can only be affected by this Arkana once per turn.

===Other Wargear===
*'''Canoptek Cloak:''' ''A tool of the Technomancer, this semi-sentient mantle lets the bearer float into the air to keep up with its tasks at hand.''
::A model equipped with a Canoptek Cloak has a Move characteristic of 10" and gains the {{W40kKeyword|Fly}} keyword. In addition, at the end of your Movement phase, you can select one friendly {{W40kKeyword|<DYNASTY>}} model that is within 3" of this model. That model regains D3 lost wounds. Each model can only be repaired once per turn.

*'''Canoptek Control Node:''' ''This small wrist device forcefully links itself to the neural cortex of nearby canoptek construct, allowing the bearer to better guide their actions.''
::The bearer has the following ability:
::'''Control Node (Aura):''' While a friendly {{W40kKeyword|<DYNASTY>}} {{W40kKeyword|Canoptek}} unit is within 6" of this model, improve the WS and BS of models in that unit by 1.

*'''Dispersion Shield:''' ''Disguised as a simple obsidian shield, this piece of advanced Necron technology hides a kinetic-repulsion field generator able to not only protect the bearer and its master but deflect the blows it sustains right back at the attacker.''
::A model equipped with a Dispersion Shield has a 4+ invulnerable save. In addition, add 1 to armor saving throws made for that model. Each time you roll an unmodified 6 for this model's invulnerable saving throw, the unit that made that attack suffers a mortal wound after it has finished making all of its attacks for that phase.

*'''Fabricator Claw Array:''' ''Tasked with maintaining the advanced structures of a tomb complex, these small maintenance tools can find their worth even in the heat of battle, repairing vital war engines on the fly.''
::At the end of your Movement phase a model equipped with a fabricator claw array can repair a single {{W40kKeyword|<DYNASTY>}} {{W40kKeyword|Vehicle}} or {{W40kKeyword|Building}} within 1". That model regains D3 wounds lost earlier in the battle. A model can only be repaired once per turn.

*'''Gloom Prism:''' ''Pulsating with dark arcane energies, this small pendant is able to fend off the influence of the Warp, protecting the bearer and those around it from the Dark Gods.''
::A model equipped with a Gloom Prism can attempt to deny one psychic power in each enemy Psychic phase in the same manner as a {{W40kKeyword|PSYKER}}. In addition, a model equipped with a Gloom Prism can never be targeted or affected by psychic powers in any way.

*'''Nebuloscope:''' ''Relic from the War in Heaven, the Nebuloscope grants the already lethal weapons of the Necrons the ability to by-pass solid matter, making so that no creature can hide from the deadly barrage.''
::Each time the bearer makes a ranged attack, it can target units that are not within its line of sight and the target does not receive the benefits of cover against that attack.

*'''Phylactery:''' This small amulet contains a swarm of repair nanoscarabs that come to aid their master against the gruesomest of wounds.''
::Each time this model uses its ''Living Metal'' special rule, it regains up to D3 lost wounds instead of 1.

*'''Repair Nanoscarabs:''' ''Thousands of minuscule canoptek scarabs swarm the outer shell of the Necron war engine, repairing every damage with surgical precision.''
::Each time a model with Repair Nanoscarabs loses a wound, roll a D6; on a 5+, the model does not lose that wound.

*'''Resurrection Orb:''' ''A perfect sphere of shiny stone. In the hands of a lesser creature, it's nothing but a jewel, but in the hands of a Necron its energies are able to move mountains and make the deathless march once again on the earth.''
::Once per battle, in your Command phase, the bearer can use its Resurrection Orb. If it does, select one friendly {{W40kKeyword|<DYNASTY>}} unit within 6" of the bearer that is not at its Starting Strength and has not had it Reanimation Protocols enacted this phase. That unit's reanimation protocols are enacted, and every destroyed model in that unit begins to reassemble.

*'''Shadowloom:''' ''A Shadowloom is a small device commonly found mounted on Tomb Blades, once active, it creates a zone of space devoided of light, cloaking the vehicle in a dark mist.''
::The bearer has a 5+ invulnerable save.

If this model did not Advance or Fall Back and hasn't shot with its Storm Pyramid in this Shooting phase, it can use this ability.

</tab>
<tab name="Storm Pyramid">
The Storm Pyramid provides the following three additional abilities: Gravitational Well, Null Zone and Quantic-Void Shields. When this component drops below 10 wounds, choose one of these three abilities; the effects of that ability immediately stop being applied. When this component drops below 5 wounds, choose one of the remaining two abilities; the effects of that ability immediately stop being applied. As soon as this component reaches 0 wounds the Tomb Jackal may no not fire its Storm Pyramid or use its ''Macro-Gravitational Killer'' special rule anymore. In addition, roll a die; on a 4+ the Tomb Jackal suffers D6 mortal wounds.
::'''-Gravitational Well:''' At the start of your Shooting phase, roll a dice for each enemy unit that can {{W40kKeyword|Fly}} and is within 18" of this model; on a 4+ that unit suffers 3D3 mortal wounds.

::'''-Quantic-Void Shields:''' Each time this model fails a saving throw, roll a D6. If the result is equal or less than the damage inflicted by that attack, the damage is ignored (e.g. if this model suffers 4 damage and you then roll a 3 or less the damage is ignored). This also provides a 4+ save against mortal wounds.

=Crusade Rules=
==Agendas==
===Universal===
*'''Inescapable Retribution:''' ''As though it were not enough of an insult that the creeping thieves of the lesser races defiled the dynastic tombs with their intrusion, they also stole precious artifacts whose true worth they cannot comprehend. These must be recovered, even if the quest should take a thousand years!''
::If you selected this Agenda, then after both sides have finished deploying, your opponent must set up one objective marker on the battlefield that is not within their own deployment zone. This objective marker represents the Dynastic Treasure, but does not count as an objective marker for any rules purpose other than for this Agenda.
::{{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} units from your army can attempt the following action:
::'''Recover Treasure (Action):''' At the end of your Movement phase, one unit from your army that is within 3" of the Dynastic Treasure objective marker can start to perform this action. This action is completed at the start of your next Command phase. If completed, remove the Dynastic Treasure objective marker from the battlefield.
::A unit gains 3 experience points if it completed this action. If that unit is either within your deployment zone at the end of the battle, or if every enemy unit on the battlefield is destroyed, and if that unit is a {{W40kKeyword|Character}}, you can additionally use the Relic Requisition or Cryptek Arkana Requisition to give that model a Relic or Cryptek Arkana as if it had gained a rank, without spending a Requisition point (that model must be able to take either a Relic or an item of Cryptek Arkana).

*'''Mechanical Support:''' ''Canoptek constructs have only one purpose in existence, to serve their Necron masters.''
::Keep a Support tally for each {{W40kKeyword|Canoptek}} unit in your army. Add 1 to that unit's Support tally each time they destroy an enemy unit or use their Fabricator Claw Array on a friendly {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} unit.
::Each unit gains a number of experience points equal to half its Support Tally (rounding up).

*'''Supremacy Through Annihilation:''' ''To the Necrons, it is not enough to simply defeat their enemies. They must prove their superiority by completely obliterating them with contemptuous ease. How else, after all, are the lesser races to be truly put in their place?''
::Keep an Annihilation tally for each {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} unit from your army. At the start of each battle round, select one enemy unit that is at its Starting Strength in which every model has its starting number of wounds. If that enemy unit is destroyed this battle round, add 1 to the Annihilation tally of each unit from your army that destroyed one or more models from that enemy unit during this battle round.
::Each unit gains a number of experience points equal to their Annihilation tally.

*'''The Unending Tally:''' ''Destroyers care only for the murder of organic life - their obsession is monomaniacal, their tally of the slain ever-growing and their joyless appetite never sated.''
::Keep an Unending tally for each {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} {{W40kKeyword|<Destroyer Cult>}} unit from your army. At the end of each battle round, add 1 to that unit's Unending tally if it destroyed 2 or more enemy units that battle round.
::At the end of the battle, each unit gains 2 experience points for every mark on its Unending tally.

*'''Territorial Imperative:''' ''During the Great Sleep, the Necrons' once-sprawling territories were steadily eroded, conquered and parcelled up by other beings. Now that they are rising once more, the dynasties are loathe to lose any more ground.''
::Keep a Territorial Imperative tally for each {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} unit in your army. Add 1 to a unit's Territorial Imperative tally each time it destroys an enemy unit that started the turn within 3" of an objective marker and each time it completes the Territorial Imperative action (see below).
::If you selected this Agenda, {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} units (excluding {{W40kKeyword|Character}} units) from your army can attempt the following action:
::'''Territorial Imperative (Action):''' At the end of your Movement phase, one {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} unit from your army (excluding {{W40kKeyword|Characters}}) that is within range of an objective marker that is not wholly within your own deployment zone, can start to perform this action.

*'''{{W40kKeyword|NEPHREKH}} - Devout to the Light:''' ''The members of the Nephrekh dynasty wish to become beings of pure light. Although this is a dream long distant from reality, the metagold in their bodies is able to make them live their ambition.''

::You gain a number of victory points equal to the Eternal Protectors tally.

*'''{{W40kKeyword|NOVOKH}} - Blood Ritual:''' ''In the age of flesh, the warriors of the Novokh used to paint their bodies with the blood of their enemies.

==Requisitions==
*'''Cryptek Arkana (1 RP):''' ''Crypteks are forever inventing, seeking to bend the laws of the material universe to their whims by shackling those forces within devices that stand testament to their subjugation of the living cosmos. Here is but the latest product of that endless quest.''
::Purchase this Requisition when you add a {{W40kKeyword|Cryptek}} unit to your Order of Battle (excluding named characters), or when a {{W40kKeyword|Cryptek}} model in your Crusade force gains a rank. That model is upgraded to have one item of Cryptek Arkana; increase its Power Rating accordingly and make a note on its Crusade card. A model can never have more than one item of Cryptek Arkana. You cannot purchase this Requisition if doing so would cause your total Power Level to exceed your Crusade force's Supply Limit.

*'''Cunning Advisors (1 RP):''' ''The greater a Necron nobles reputation, the more cunning and accomplished are the Crypteks who seek them out and offer them service.''
::Purchase this Requisition when you add a {{W40kKeyword|Cryptek}} unit to your Order of Battle if your Crusade force already includes a {{W40kKeyword|Noble}} unit of at least Blooded rank. That {{W40kKeyword|Cryptek}} unit gains 6 experience points (and therefore gains the Blooded rank). Select one Battle Honour for them as normal.

*'''Eldritch Artifice (1 RP):''' ''No greater status symbols are there to the Necron nobility than mighty war engines. Any dynastic leader with designs on hierarchical elevation would do well to pour all the resources they can into furnishing their armory with the finest weapons they possibly can.''
::Purchase this Requisition when you add a {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} {{W40kKeyword|Vehicle}} unit to your Order of Battle, or when a {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} {{W40kKeyword|Vehicle}} unit in your Crusade force gains a rank, if your Crusade force includes a {{W40kKeyword|Technomancer}}. That {{W40kKeyword|Vehicle}} unit gains one Weapon Enhancement; increase its Crusade points accordingly and make a note on its Crusade card.

*'''Flayed Epidemy (1 RP):''' ''The curse of Llandu'gor, the Flayer, lurks still in the Necron ranks and turns those it touches into macabre displays of gory insanity''
::Purchase this Requisition after a battle in which your Crusade army contained one or more units with the {{W40kKeyword|Flayed}} keyword. Select one unit that was also part of that Crusade army and that can take a '''Flayed Upgrade''' (e.s. '''Flayed King'''; '''Flayed Warriors'''; etc...). That unit's '''Flayed Upgrade''' is immediately taken and takes effect from the following battle.

*'''The Glory of Subjugation (1 RP):''' ''As the ancient codes of honour demand, the victor in any dynastic war may claim the resultant spoils - greater notoriety, rich treasures and a tithe of soldiery subsumed from the legions of the defeated foe.''
::Purchase this Requisition after a victory is achieved in a battle against a {{W40kKeyword|Necrons}} army. Your Warlord gains 5 experience points and you can immediately purchase the '''Fresh Recruits''' Requisition once, for 0RP.

*'''The Secrets of the Stars (1 RP):''' ''When unlocking the secrets written in the cosmos, an Astromancer enriches not only itself but the court of its patreon too.''
::Purchase this Requisition after a victory is achieved in a battle. If your Crusade force includes a {{W40kKeyword|Astromancer}}, that model gains 3 experience points and you gain D3 Requisition Points.

*'''The Slow Decay of the Self (1 RP):''' ''It is perilous to fight alongside the Destroyer Cults for too long, lest their nihilistic madness finds purchase within the personality engrams of formerly stable Necrons.''
::Purchase this Requisition after a battle in which your Crusade army contained one or more units with the {{W40kKeyword|<Destroyer Cult>}} keyword. Select one {{W40kKeyword|Lord}} or {{W40kKeyword|Overlord}} model that was also part of that Crusade army; remove that model from your Order of Battle and replace it with either a {{W40kKeyword|Lokhust Lord}}, a {{W40kKeyword|Ophydian Lord}}, or a {{W40kKeyword|Skorpekh Lord}} from the same dynasty (if the model replaced is an Overlord then the replacing model must be upgraded to its Overlord counterpart). You cannot purchase this Requisition if doing so would cause your total Power Level to exceed your Crusade force's Supply Limit. The newly added {{W40kKeyword|<Destroyer Cult>}} {{W40kKeyword|Character}} model starts with the same number of experience points as the {{W40kKeyword|Character}} it replaced and immediately gains the appropriate number of Battle Honours for its rank.

You can either select one from the tables below, or you can randomly generate one by first rolling a D6 to select one of the two tables (on a 1-3, use table l; on a 4-6, use table 2), before rolling a D66 on that table (to roll a D66, roll two D6s, one after the other - the first result is your 'tens' and your second is your 'units'. For example, a D66 roll where the first result is a 3 and the second is a 6 is a result of 36). Make a note of any Dynastic Epithets gained on that model's Crusade card.

For every third title gained, you can select one of the Dynastic abilities shown below for that {{W40Kkeyword|Character}} unit. Increase its Crusade points by 1 for each of these abilities selected.
