====[[Dark Eldar]]==== *Overviews of the typical makeup of a Kabal, Wych Cult, and Haemonculus Coven. *The Great Rift's appearance did a number on the Webway, but the plethora of poorly defended worlds cut off from the greater Imperium has made for excellent raiding opportunities among the Dark Eldar. **The Cult of the Cursed Blade in particular has been amusing itself by "defending" Imperial worlds against Chaos attack in order to raise the hopes of their inhabitants- the better to savor the shock of the following betrayal. *The former region of Khaine's Gate is now called the Chasm of Woe, and is still infested with Daemons. Unable to actually seal it up, the Dark Eldar settled for creating layers of sub-dimensions between it and Commorragh proper to slow the tide of Chaos. Dilapidated parts of the city and territories of uppity Archons are preferred for being used as makeshift barricades in this manner. **After stumbling over the recent conflicts between the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Necrons, the Dark Eldar discover the anti-Warp capabilities of blackstone and begin incorporating it into the Chasm as well. *[[Asdrubael Vect]] is murdered. After inexplicably sending away his Incubus bodyguards, he is killed by Mandrakes working for an unknown employer and every failsafe the Haemonculi have made for him in the event of his death is destroyed. Just about every Archon in Commorragh is stunned, wondering if they'll be the next to die. The Harlequins of the Masque of the Veiled Path arrange a funeral for him in the Cult of the Cursed Blade's arena, and Urien Rakarth promises to show his newest creations there. ** At the crescendo of the funeral, the Harlequins release hallucinogenic gases into the arena the proceedings are taking place, and Rakarth's creations as well as the Wyches of the Cult of the Cursed Blade join the Harlequins in massacring every Archon who attended it. The sheer pain and suffering thus produced resurrects Vect on the spot, and he is declared a living Dark Muse. The Archons loyal to him who showed up at his "funeral" were revived, and those who were only there to gloat over his corpse were turned into Grotesques forced to serve Vect. Vect's hold over Commorragh is now stronger than ever before, and his next order of business is to punish Yvraine for her humiliation of him. *[[Lady Malys]] had the good judgment to take the Kabal of the Poisoned Tongue out of Commorragh to lie low after word of Vect's death spread, and so she avoided the fate of the other Archons present at Vect's "funeral". For the time being, she's still gone to ground but not even her own Kabal is sure of what her plan is by now. It's also not stated whether or not she had a hand in Vect's death, with the wording leaning towards not. *The mysterious being Lady Malys met and gained the heart of is explicitly stated to be [[Cegorach]]. *The Prophets of Flesh have taken a special interest in the Primaris Space Marines, and Urien Rakarth personally wishes to acquire a Primaris Marine from every Space Marine Chapter as part of his flesh-libraries. *A White Scars strike force led by captain Khajaten Khan of the 3rd company launch a system-wide search for a Dark Eldar Haemonculus known as the Shatterling Prince. Though the White Scars slew many Dark Eldar in the Asmari System, Khajaten refused to send his forces into the webway after the Prince, citing what happened to Jaghatai Khan. A year later, Khajaten is found dead in his meditation cell within the White Scars Fortress-Monastery of Quan Zhou, and every mirror and window within his quarters shattered. *After the abduction of several Adeptus Custodes, Inquisitors of the Ordo Xenos discover that the Coven of the Twisted Spiral has constructed something that looks like a monstrous parody of the Golden Throne. They are slain shortly after they report their findings. *[[Lelith Hesperax]]'s real goal in joining the Ynnari is predictably self-serving: she wishes to capture [[Lucius the Eternal]] and engage him in the greatest duel that Commorragh has ever seen. She does know about his whole resurrection thing, but she believes that if his armor is taken away from him beforehand she won't end up turning into Lucius if she wins. *Vect and Urien begin the creation of "false humans"- Dark Eldar who have been surgically altered to seem like ordinary humans- as spies against the Ynnari. *Drazhar comes very close to killing Yvraine on Craftworld Saim-Hann, but his killing blow is parried at the last second by Jain Zar. Jain Zar and her Howling Banshees pursue Drazhar to the lost city of Shaa-dom, where she is outmatched and cut in half by Drazhar. In the ruins of Craftworld Zandros, Yvraine has a vision of Jain Zar's death, and prays to Ynnead to revive one of the dead Exarch's that accompanied her. The Exarch puts on Jain Zar's armor, and Jain Zar is reborn. Yvraine sets up a duel between the Ynarri and Drazhar's forces on Zandros. Jain Zar and the Ynarri get powered up by the souls of the Eldar that fall in the battle, and Jain Zar decapitates Drazhar. **Afterwards, an Incubi puts on Drazhar's armor and merges with it, pretty much confirming Drazhar is Ahra.
