Reavers of Karrad Vall

Karrad Vall’s name is a dark curse on those who have
ventured into the Koronus Expanse. No one has ever seen
him, but the barbed prows of his ships and the baying of
his scarred warriors are enough to have caused captains to
scuttle their craft rather than be taken before Karrad Vall, the
Faceless Lord. Some whisper that Vall was once an Adept of
the Munitorium, a former tithe-master swayed and fallen to
the lure of the Dark Gods, whilst others claim he was once
a trusted admiral of Battlefleet Calixis. What is known is
that Karrad Vall braved the Maw in 794.M41 and promptly
established his intent by shelling Footfall and engaging
Calligos Winterscale in battle. His small fleet tore through
the defenses arrayed against them. As Vall departed, he cast
several last taunting messages in his wake before disappearing
without a trace for the next decade.
The ships of Karrad Vall are a brutalized selection of
Imperial ships taken in raids or pulled as hulks from the
void and refitted, and steered by the craft of vassal sorcerers
and powerful daemons pacts. Each of the Reavers of Karrad
Vall owe loyalty to him above all, but the Dark Gods and
the punishments for treachery are as terrible as a dedicated
servant of Chaos can devise. So far all of the Reavers’ actions
have been aimed at gaining resources to expand Vall’s pirate
fleet: ships, weaponry, and slaves. With each successful raid on
ships in the Expanse, the danger posed by these jackals of the
void becomes greater.

Karrad Vall’s fleet is often called “the Wolfpack,”
a mismatched group of vessels including many of
obvious Imperial origin. Some of these ships are
captained by ruthless raiders as infamous as the vessel
itself. A partial list of known ships belonging to Vall’s
Wolfpack is presented here:
*Excrucian
*Gift of Despair
*Mortis Ex Astra
*Optimus Nemesis
