The Kabal of the Dying Sun is one of the oldest [[Dark Eldar]] [[Kabal]]s that currently exist, only beaten in age by the [[Kabal of the Black Heart]]. Fittingly, they're all old as dust and treat literally everybody younger than them like shit and tell all sorts of crazy stories about blowing up suns or whatever, but that can't be true, right?
== Origins and Organization ==
The Kabal of the Dying Sun is old. Old as hell, almost one of the oldest in Commoragh. The Kabal is in many ways the very worst of the Aeldari race rolled into a single Kabal: An insufferable mix of Aeldari arrogance, as well as Drukhari cruelty. They hate pretty much anything that hasn't lasted over a Millenia, and given how few and far between something like ''that'' has ever happened, it's clear they hate pretty much everybody that isn't themselves or, begrudgingly, [[Asdrubael Vect]]. Their constant Eldar sneering has ensured almost nobody truly likes them in Commoragh, but are generally kept at bay by their ace in the hole that they swear up and down that they can in fact use: Eldar superweapons that can burn out stars and suck the life force out of planets.

Yes, they have those, and yes, they know how it works. Kinda.

While the other Kabals roll their eyes and say "Yeah sure, whatever grandpa.", the reality of the situation is that the Dying Sun are in fact completely correct in that they have these kinds of insane powers; hidden fragments of truly horrifying extra forbidden arcana from the old Aeldari empire managed to end up in their hands, and they usually keep that shit to themselves hidden under lock and key in their fortress known as the ''Pinnacle of Disdain.'' The problem is that those fragments are pretty good at getting their own killed while they're doling out planet-wide extinctions and mass inside-outing of planetary populaces, and a good portion of those superweapons have some form of strong [[Psychic]] reactivity, meaning that if they happen to use them too often, there's a good chance they could go and get some very [[Slaanesh|unwanted attention]]. Further, if they are discovered to actually ''have'' all that shit they're braying about, Vect is gonna wanna know why they haven't shared any of that sweet doomsday pie with them, and will more than likely turn the entire city on them. So for now, they have to use them very sparingly, and even then, only their [[Kabalite Trueborn| Trueborn]] and [[Archon]]s are even allowed to know these things exist, let alone touch them. As a result, they mostly spend their time bragging about how their uncle from Nintendo is totally gonna let them drive their extinction bombs to the dance, but their arrogance is, however unfortunately, completely justified in knowing they have the power that they wield could easily tip the scales in their favor.

Their Archon meanwhile, is the same kind of insane poetic nimrod that a number of Archons end up being, as he is obsessed with the concept of twilight, [[Edgy|the transition from light and hope to darkness and dispair]], and thus the Dying Sun tends to raid only during sunsets, ensuring that their name remains more than just a poetic threat, but more an embarrassingly literal translation of their Archon's continued mania.

The Obsidian Rose is a [[Kabal]] of the [[Dark Eldar]], and one of the major ones vital to the Dark Eldar success. They are a bunch of perfectionist gun nuts obsessed with building the very best guns and the very sharpest knives, and as such have a stranglehold on the gun manufacturing in the city of [[Commoragh]].

== Origins and Organization ==
The Kabal of the Obsidian Rose was previously a relatively uninteresting among Commoragh's gaggle of edgelord gangs, with your typical asshole [[Archon]], by the name of Vhorlac, who happened to toss a certain '''Aestra Khromys''' into the weapon shops, hoping she'd just die from boredom doing menial labor for daring not to suck his dick or something. Because the Dark Eldar are sense-freak sweatgoblins, anyone stuck to this fate often go deliriously mad or their soul starves, but Khromys...Khromys had a plan. She became obsessed with weapons, how to make them better, fire harder and faster, make the swords and knives sharper, make the whips even more painful, and she set to work making weapons that were beyond compare, all to her insane exacting standards. It paid off; within a year she went from slave to artisan master gunsmith, with many Archons asking for her workshop's gear by name. Eventually, Vhorlac, who had long forgotten about her, purchased her workshop wholesale, and Khromys lavished him and his retinue with some of the very best and edgiest weapons she had ever made. On the day of the sale, she and the other smiths gifted him a bunch of well-made but seemingly useless trinkets, but in fact were a bunch of concealed weapons that just so happened to disable the stuff Vhorlac and his men were wearing, and with that, Khromys slew them in an act of meticulous, perfectly executed treachery that is still talked about to this very day in Commoragh.

The Obsidian Rose since then has entrenched itself deep into the heart of the Commoragh arms business to the point that they're almost the only game in town, and they do it by instilling that same level of obsessive perfection into everything they do. Khromys got to where she is by planning literally everything out to the letter and by having only the very best quality weapons and armor, and she expects the exact same thing out of her gunsmiths and Kabalites, because anything less would tarnish their flawless reputation, and that shit cannot happen. Normally because she personally makes her way down to the workshop with her [[Talos Pain Engine|Pain Engine]] known only as "The Overseer" to go dole out some especially brutal punishment. This extends even into their warfare, where they practice their roles in the coming battles to the point that the average warrior can do their part in the fight blindfolded, and those who get caught daring to allow blood to get on their weapons during weapon will often get strung up with the slaves they capture, that's just how anal retentive they are when it comes to perfection.

Khromys these days spends most of her time raiding, specifically looking for [[Eldar]] slaves of any variety, as only they have the dexterity required to meet her insane standards, meaning she is probably on a lot of hitlists around [[craftworld]]s.
