Ilealeath Dynasty

"*From the most ancient times, to the most recent woes, there has been a singular uniting forced for our dynasty. From the Steppes to the Stars, from our homeworld to Ileatahn, we have strove to heal our species of it's ailments, it's cancers and it's short lives. Now, on the precipice of our eternal conquest of life, our ascension to the machine, I declare out journey is not done, our path not ended yet. For we shall, as we were amongst the Necrontyr, be striving for perfection in all aspects, and to do so, the Ilealeath shall, I declare it, work towards the fusion of the Machine and Flesh, to create something new and beautiful, and to overcome all restriction, to delve into the arts of sorcery, biomechanical forms, godhood, our thousand goals shall be our unifying might!*"
— Pektrath, The Phaerakh of the Ilealeath
The History of the Ilealeath is a Dynastic Tome, written by Grand Chronicler Liaphus the Eternal Word, for the Phaerakh Pektrath. It takes pieces of Ilealeath Quantum Tomes, clarifying history that is unfulfilled by Ilealeath Chroniclers, due to Degradation of said Qunatum Tomes, failure to note Key Details in Hindsight, or simply not being able to document the event, with contemporary sources, and is an attempt to document the full scope of the Ilealeath Dyansties Myriad history, over the span of more than 5 million years.

From here on, what is in Quotation Marks is a cross-referenced document, either of Imperial, Aeldari or Necron source, what has no quotation marks around it all is the history and context written by Liaphus, from observation taken either from his own Occular implants, or that of other Necrons.

## Overview

The Ilealeath Dynasty are one of the most ancient Necron Dynasties to have ever existed, formed incredibly early in that races history on the Steppes of their Homeworld, of roaming tribesman turned agricultural farmers. Now the Ilealeath Dynasty reign over a significant portion of the lower Segmentum Tempestus, which is for the Imperium and other Races in the vicinity, worryingly growing at a rapid rate, a mere dozen lightyears from Bakka, and nearly pushing into Segmentum Pacificus, yet mostly relegated to the Veiled Regions in terms of true power. They are locally known and feared for their usage of brutal Biomancy, causing great plagues and famines to occur on worlds they wish to conquer, and their arrival is usually signalled by a stagnant air and the smell of rot and decay, followed by beautiful flowers, which are in fact deadly poisonous.

Multiple times over Imperial History has the Ilealeath been declared vanquished, permanently destroyed and put only to ancient history books and scrolls in some forgotten archive, and always those archives frantically opened to learn any information they can on how to defeat the Immortal Legions that rise back up, over and over, for the Ilealeath may sometimes delay their reanimation for years to put a enemy at ease, make them think of themselves as in some form of safety, before then rising up once more, to reclaim a galaxy that has slipped from their grasp, but shall be gripped tight once more. This ability to remain dormant for months, years or decades is one of their most powerful, as their worlds may return to their dormant stages, putting their enemies at rest, and into complacency, before they spring into action once more, rising from their slumber to turn their enemies to piles of dust and ash in windswept planes. The Enders of Empires.

## History

### Modern History

#### The Conquering of Fianta

##### Rising on Ederna

"A World of Beauty, blessed by the God Emperor Himself, Ederna is a Paradise World, made for the highest nobles of then Sector Fiantina. It takes this title due to it being a world of great and various fauna, flora, fungi, a great variety of forms for which many would travel hundreds of lightyears to see, visting to lay in palaces on a world of beautiful skies, plains of amazing, dazzling flowers and crops, gorgeous mountain views and not a single natural predator to speak of, a world of perfection, where mankind could live out it's happiest days. It is devoid of any predatory life, and bears the most perfect biosphere, with nearly every environment the galaxy could ever provide, beautiful minerals, ores and gemstones that none had ever seen before, in large quantities, which allows for the creation of awe inspiring jewellery, which has become one of the only products of the planet, well made and dazzling necklaces, rings, wristbands, anything that could be beautiful was made with these natural resources, and it became a dazzling world of opulence. Elements of a Ancient Xenos Culture were found there, obelisks of black greasy stone, and God Emperor damned pyramids of that same putrid material, which were torn down, broken."

"Yet one day (M38.962), as a party of nobles explored the brisk, beautiful plains of the world, they came upon a cave. It was resplendent, filled with beautiful flowers and home to many animals of great beauty and with adorable features and actions that set the hearts of the nobles alike with joy, due to the properties of what would become known as the Cave of Joy, these nobles marked it on their map, and were especially interested to mention to their fellows the most beautiful sight they has found, a statue that looked like a huge skeletal human in the middle, stood on a fountain that was filled with fresh water, safe to drink as much as you wished, with the flowers there bearing fruit, if one wished to live in the cave forever, it was easy to do such. It became a common tourist spot for the next half millennia, as the animals never seemed to die or age and the plants filled with life, no matter the weather, even if the world never to stop being quaint in the meadows, and the statue became a special symbol for the world, to this day romantics draw and sing songs of the humanoid form, for it is believed to be made by a ancient artist, as a memorial to a lost lover."

- *"Ederna, Jewel of Fiantina",* cross referenced document from Historian Zeki, M39.426

Yet when Inquisitor Xialas of the Ordo Xenos heard of such, he expected foul play. Forever living animals and plants? It must have been some infiltrator xenos species, warping the minds of the residents to weaken a advance on the world of Bakka, long the defender of Segmentum Tempestus and the wall of the South, ever since the 'Plague of Unbelief' occurred in the ancient past, and so his quest towards the world to investigate this odd occurrence was established, to protect a sector so close to Bakka, despite the sectors near lack of true merit for such. When he got to the world however, easily landing and finding this cave, he found himself blocked from entering the cave, by a massive crowd of people, who simply watched something in shock, as he ordered people aside, having to threaten some with his Bolt Pistol for them to respond, until he got to the middle of the crowd, as he pushed into the cave, and his heart stopped in his chest. It was the worst fate.

"Infront of him, in it's ancient splendour, was a Necron, of our Ileaelath Dynasty, a Warrior. It had cracked off it's rocky shell, and now stared at the humans, stood still, as the animals and plants hung in frozen grace. Xialas raised his bolt pistol the moment he saw such, aiming for the creatures head as it looked at the humans with.. a cold sense of smugness, superiority, and let a shot ring, and to his deep horror, the Necron caught it mid air, it's body whipping around faster than he could see, as it seemed to.. fuzz slightly, holding the bolt to it's eye as if it was a easy, casual thing, before again whipping around, the Bolt rushing through the air at supersonic speeds. The shell shredded flesh, and turned a column of nearly 4 nobles into bloody pulp, and in his horror, the Necron looked down at the hand it had thrust the Bolt with, gripping the well detailed appendage to a fist, and laughed while the humans fled."

- *"Home of Nightmare", Chronicler Zythak, from the eyes of the Warrior.*

As the awakening began across the entire valley, the entire world, Pylons began to rise from the ground, Warriors and Immortals phased onto the surface of the world, or tore themselves through the ground, like the ground was a earthen womb birthing vast legions of death, covered in gore and viscera long gone stale and blackened, as Canopteks threw themselves onto the fleeing nobles and their families. Wraiths whipping their tails around and slicing apart the well crafted silks and fabrics, Acanthrites impaling men, women and children on their claws. By the eyes of the Warrior, Xialas merely stood and watched, ordering his fleet in orbit to bombard the world, as he felt the Necron walk up behind him, it's towering physique, the size of an Astarte, standing over him. He saw a young boy, no more than 12, have his brain eaten out by a Scarab, and he could tell it was not painless. He could only hear the cold laughter of the Necron, as he felt it put it's hand on his head and squeezed, shattering his skull instantly.

##### Conquerors of Ileatahn

"Where Mankind thought of themselves as the most safe and preserved, away from the terrors of the galaxy, away from xenos and heretics and all that came for mankind in the night, Legions of Undying automata rose across the world, as the Astropaths of the world collapsed, spasmed and dies, as some sort of psychic shock fried their minds, killing them nearly instantly. The world was cut off from help. The 'Ederna Planetary Defense Forces' attempted a defense, defending the Capital against these Xenos terrors they had never even heard of, let alone seen, and for a little time it worked, as they were able to lure them into kill zones, between the streets of the world, set up barricades and attempts to stop them, with a masterstroke move by the Phaerakh, creatures emerged from the darkness, with great claws, moaning, grunting, hunting beasts, who hungered for the flesh of humanity and the sacred ambrosia of blood and The Flaying began."

"Ederna was not the only world to be conquered in the Blood Crusade, but it was the Sector's most beautiful, important, culturally relevant world, the shining jewel of the so called 'Fiantina Sector', where humanity had set up a refuge for it's most rich, most powerful, to escape their Empire's darkness, to relax, sit back and be happym and so it;s loss sent a shock through the system. Humanity hadthought itself safe, and the rulers of a world that was never truly theirs, with the world of Ederna, truly Ileatahn, so full of beautiful views, a verdant paradise of so many biospheres and ecosystems it boggled the mind for those not addled on drugs or alcohols, found through impeccable war to be the Crownworld, the Jewel, the Seat of the Ilealeath Dynasty, ruled by the Glorious Pektrath. The vast biosphere the result of their ancient creations being allowed to run wild for nearly 60 million years, the perfectly planned environment allowed to cascade into vast speciation, instead of being pruned by our always observant dynasty undee the Glorious Pektrath, the overgrowth felt oddly perfect, as if it was the end of a plan they had not realised was drawn up."

- *"The Truth"* , Chronicler Harazid, the Omniscient

Rising from her tomb city under the earth, lodged and coated in blackstone and necrodermis, to hide away the Phaerakh from the effects of psykers, and to give her tomb the strength to hold the very world in place, came the leader of the Dynasty, Pektrath. Personally leading the Dyansty against the Ederna Planetary Defense Force, slaying nearly a million combatants with her own weaponry, her bare hands, seizing the Capitol, which was forged with such beauty that she allowed it to exist even upon the death of the humans, to be remembered as a great work of a race of less than great people. She rose her cities to the surface, mostly across cold and warm deserts, as to preserve the natural flourishing life that was adorned across the world, yet also created some in the meadows, the jungles, and the various other environments, loving the vast beauty the world of Ileathan now possessed, allowing life to then flourish, grow and develop under their watch, as she prepared to expand to the stars, to hold her dynasty high, and destroy their enemies.

##### The Taking of Garash

The Hiveworld of Garash was quite a important realm for the Fiantina Sector, and to lose it was to lose a majority of the Sector's military indsutrial complex, as it supplied the tanks and aerospace assets for the Planetary Defense Forces of nearly the entire sector. Cut off from astropathic messages seemingly at random, it was a pointed assault from the Ilealeath, so the world may not call for help. Overloading psychic minds via feedback loops, nearly every astropath on the world was wracked with insanity across 3 days, until their minds couldnt handle the stress anymore, and their brains exploded, killing nearly 300 Astropaths simultaneously, and around 1,000 other psykers. Once they were done away with, the Fleet of the Ilealeath manifested above the world, and the battle was on.

Initial Necron landings were made via swarms of Canoptek Scarabs, which were used to eliminate humanities Anti Air Turrets and Defense Lasers, for in the previous taking of the Agri World of Iophan a Defense Laser had managed to fell 2 Monoliths, though the devouring of it by Scarabs allowed for the recreation of one, it was still a grave insult to the Ilealeath, and they were determined to not let it occur again. The batteries the Scarabs went to destroy shredded their miniature forms, but the scarabs were like a vast skittering ocean, and as they devoured the enemies defenses they created more of themselves, growing evermore as they began to eat away at towers, allowing them to grow more massive in their numbers, and make a landing zone for the dynasty with little issue.

The Monolith's soon descended upon the world, escorted by a Talwari's worth of Doom Scythes, 10 fighters to a Monolith, which were easily able to eliminate the Imperial Aeronautica Fighters sent against them, Death Rays equipped upon Monolith and Doom Scythe alike being able to cut them down from tremendous ranges, peppering the forms of the human fighters with strikes of energy so brutal that the simultaneous strikes of two or more instantly caused the forms of Lightnings, Avengers and Thunderbolts to combust from the pure heat of the energies strike, and together began to scythe through the Hive Spires until they began to collapse in such vast collections of metal and splintered electronics it could be compared to a artificial landslide, on a great mountain of metal and rust.

However, while the air battle was as easy as firing a few shots and destroying dozens of imperial fighters in efficient, horrific and souless rounds of fire, the ground battle was, if only slightly, more of a balanced combat scenario. Lord Karuphex in his arrogance had promised he could take the Hive World of Garash with a single Decurion, the so called Culling Decurion formation. Organised into Tri-Phalanxes of Warriors and Immortals, 3000 Blood-Soaked Warriors and 1,500 Immortals adorned with Bone and Organ, with 30 Royal Wardens attached letting their engrammatic orders flow to the warriors from the Lord like water and backing them up, Ancillaries of Deathmarks, Canoptek Wraiths and Acanthrites, Flayed Ones, Pariahs and Lychguard.

Facing down many enemies in the form of the Worlds PDF and Adeptus Arbites, the battle was brutal, and the fighting was much more terrible than regular necron campaigns, as the humans moved to a melee engagement, and came into direct contact with Necrons. While Warriors bore little high intellect, with their incredible machines strength, and clawed hands,

##### The Battle of Meggido

Nearly a year into their campaign, as the Dynasty had cascaded into nearly 80% of the Sector, came Battlefleet Amadeus. Compromised of nearly 3 Companies of Space Marines taken from 3 Chapters, the Stellar Claws, Eagles of Steel and Knights of Oblivion, 4 Cadian Shock Troopers Regiments and 3 Mordian Iron Guard Regiments, it was a force to be reckoned with, the largest concentration of ground forces deployed to a single campaign in the local sectors, showing the absolute fear they held for this rapidly advancing Dynasty, wishing to push it back, stem the flow of expansion like a beaver stems a river with it's dam, going to meet the Necrons on the world of Meggido, the single warp route that allowed access to the wider galaxy for the Fiantina Sector, and so they would hold there, unaware the Necrons simply didn't use Warp Travel, but even so, securing the only path in and out was crucial for the Imperial War Effort.

Crashing like a wave against the Imperial War Machine, the souless waves of Necron Infantry battled in the tight streets of the world, as they had faced on Ederna. Yet as they had fought through the Sector, overtime they had learned how to better navigate cities and tight spaces, exploiting the nature of Scarabs as small and compact beings to scurry through or under the street itself, flushing the infantry out of their hiding areas and reinforced bunkers, or collapsing their bunkers, crushing them inside their refuges, making the guardsmen less of an issue for the Ilealeath, but yet still a difficult foe, that slew more than a few Necron Warriors and Immortals. However, the Astartes proved incredibly difficult a foe to face, a new and powerful enemy that was both powerful, able to defend well and mobile, their mix of armoured warfare, quick strikes and usage of plasma en masse led to quite heavy casulties, while the Necrons adapted to their quick and powerful strikes.

Immortal Phalanxes were sent aorund the cities of the world, their Tesla Weapons being used to fry the Astartes inside of their armour, turning organs to red mush and killing them nearly instantly as they struck, especially with the mass usage of their Tesla Weaponry, while some used Gauss Blasters to shred through the heavy armour of the Astartes, penentrating through them with rapid fire and massed fire, using their robotic sensors and targeting systems to be able to lay down pinpoint, exact fire in specific areas, usually aiming for the head, but also turning the chests of the Astartes into gaping wounds. However, while at the end of the day they had forced the Imperials back and back and back, until they had been entirely eradicated from the world, it was a wakeup call to the dynasty that they could lose, if very rarely, and with nearly half casulties, even if every single being was either reanimated, returned to the Tomb Worlds, or a Canoptek, and so rebuilt, it had been the most catastrophic losses so far, and led the dynasty to conquer up to the sector, and then merely sit and wait for the opportunity to pounce.

## Dynastic Court

### Pektrath, The Phaerakh of Blood

Phaerakh of the Ilealeath Dynasty, she has ruled since the beginning of the War in Heaven, and was considered elderly by the time she bio-transferred, nearly dying before they could transfer her body to the form of a great Phaeron. Yet with her will, her determination, she managed to keep herself going until she was able to transfer. It felt like hell, and her old form was burning like it was licked by the flames of a star itself, as her body was ripped apart, and replaced with necrodermis, the skin of metal, and then she passed out from the pain. Having awakened from what felt like a dream, she could not feel her body, her senses were dead, and yet she felt only joy, only pure delight, only happiness, for she was something she had never believed was possible for herself, her species, and was so overjoyed to have it she cared, and still cares, very little about what she has lost, she was a immortal, she could not die, her mind was expanded beyond the furthest reaches of Organic Life, and she would never have to fear the end of her existence any more.

She strove to continue her experiments, tapping into the secrets of flesh and the Immaterium, even as all others turned away from both completely, and ignored their despise of her for such, of her dynasty, her ideology, for she was determined and happy for once in her life, and strove to these experiments not out of desperation, but love for the process of science and experimentation, augmentation, evolution. Throughout the War in Heaven she would capture live Krork and Aeldari, experiment to try and find how to tap into the Immaterium without a soul, learning how the Old Ones warped biology in such a beautiful manner, and experimenting on them, dulling their minds and turning them into addled creatures, eventually leading to the creation of the so called False Ones, lesser copies of the two races that bore no psychic power, but still retained the physical properties of their original beings, who she set upon their "ancestors" with great joy, seeing how her work went.

Eventually the Phaerakh had to descend to her tomb, after the Necrons broke the C'tan, and left the galaxy ablaze with the ruin of what they had done, the shell shocked Aeldari, Krork and Necrons staring at the.. lost of the gods themselves, what had become of the material galaxy, the immaterial realm, and even the webway burning before them, the Necrons chose not to push forward, but to rest, return to slumber, until the galaxy had healed, and the stars had dulled their flame. Awakening to a primitive race upon a world that flourished with her experiments having rose far beyond her expectations, the Phaerakh had to quickly choose what to do, and ordered her legions to kill nearly all of the human population, taking some for her experiments, to preserve the nature that had covered the world, and began to rebuild her Crownworld, and then her Dynasty, setting forth to the stars to Conquer the Sector, and then once the forces of Chaos had torn apart a seam in reality, to reinforce her dynasty, pushed beyond those bounds, and bore no intentions to stop.

## Dynastic Culture

### Crypteks

While every Dynasty respects the work of the Cryptek, as without them the necrons could never have risen to the heights they now enjoy, the Ilealeath as infaturated with the idea of science, evolution, technology, all the ideals the Crypteks espouse, to the point it is said that "There are more Crypteks than Warriors amongst the Ilealeath", which can be used by their few allies and many enemies alike, to both scorn the dynasty and praise it's power. While the statement is not true, the Ilealeath produced the most Crypteks of any dynasty, and today mould the Cryptek ideology into every rank and station, where even Royal Wardens are obligated to take the tests and knowledge that would make them a low level cryptek, while many Overlords and Lords take the title "X-Discipline", where X stands in for their noble rank, and then their discipline, such as "Azkhan, Overlord-Geomancer", as a sign of pride amongst the nobility, those with a more respected Cryptek discipline standing above others in court politics, with "Overlord-Biomancer" being the most respected.

### Flesh

Amongst the Ilealeath, Biological Life and Flesh is not as taboo to speak of as many other dynasties, where such topics are considered punishable by death for many dynasties and lords, while in the Ilealeath is is one of their main focuses, with Warriors, Immortals, and every other member of the dynasty, though they do occasionally clean themselves off when they meet other members of the Infinite Empire, which reveals their mostly white bodies, with various throbbing energy colours, various purples, yellows, greens, reds, dozens of beautiful shades of those colours. They are adorned in lights of great beauty, rubies, magentas, topaz, emerald, diamond, aswell as gems occasionally planted into their necrodermis forms themselves. The forms of the Necrons are usually adorned with spikes, bone-like forms stuck out of their bodies, hump of flayed skin upon their form, blood adorning these portions of the body, how the Ilealeath Necrons do not fall to the Destroyer Cults or Flayed Ones at insane rates is unknown, but it is known that they do fall at a higher rate than most.

### Dynastic Items

#### Khuran

Before time had a name, before the Ilealeath truly existed, there was the Khuran. From the first tribes of the Il, to the Ilea, then to the unification of the Ilea, the Lekha and Athaqu Tribes, and to the modern era, the Khuran has rose time and time again, as a symbol of unity, of war, of power. Where the sun shone, the Khuran rose, and in the darkness, it's light guided the Peoples of the Great Steppe. When the Hordes of Khans rode forth, the Khuran rode with them, and in victory or defeat, the Khuran rode back to the homes of the Khans

Of the ancient Steppe peoples of the Necrontyr Home, the peoples who would form the later Ilealeath Dynasty were a spiritual people, and they believed that Gods resided in Animals, and their Goddess Gjakh rose on the back of Horses, and made them hers. So a uniting symbol of the Il, and the Ilea after the Eatahn were subsumed, was the Khuran, made of a pole, topped with a disk, embellished as much as any wish to, and with a candle on top.

However, the most and absolutely needed factory, for everything of it, the material of the pole, length, embellishments, can change. However, it must have 6 Horse Tails, of black colouration. That is the the Khuran, the sixfold wind, the flowing god. It is a symbol many flock and flocked to, from the necorntyrs distant paths to the modern day. The Khemrian Warhorse can be found on nearly 600,000 Imperial Worlds, and is cultivated on many Ilealeath Worlds, renouned for it's sturdy nature, able to hold a entire astartes with ease.

At the Ride of the Great Khan, the Unification of the Steppe, the Thousand Nations War, from the ground and dust of the steppes to the stars and meteors of the heavens, the Khuran has been at every great ocassion of the Ilealeath, it hung over the first Kurultai of the new Ilealeath Tribe, and the biotransference chambers of the C'tan, across battles from the War in Heaven to the modern millennia. A tradition held, for eternity.

The first Imperial documentation of a Khuran came during the Great Cataclysm of Charon, where it was used during the counterattack of the Ilealeath Forces after having pushed back by the "7th Zatgusan Mechanised Infantry, where it was theorised by them to be a "...calling point, a strengthener of Engramatic protocols, which can push through any blocker, and through any surface..." even being able to bring back the spark of life to a Warrior, giving them a tactical flexibility lost on their race, intelligence.

Since that day, it has been used on 5 other occasions and has been the noted reason for victory (whether such is true, or is used to pass on blame, is unknown) and has become a odd myth amongst the Regiments meant to defend against the Ilealeath, and is a.. humanising story, that even souless machines may gather around a banner that can lead them to success, even against the Imperium. Such myths are soundly put down by Commissars when encountered.

For once, the Imperium is not entirely incorrect on the intricacies of our race, our dynasty. Modern versions of the Khuran are in fact woven with quantum string technologies, which are able to bring a form of spark, a light of life, to Warriors, and gives other forms of our race a boosted intelligence, emotional capacity, strength and battling ability. However, ancient Khurans, such as the Khuran of the Phaerakh, are able to emit such a effect, even when lacking high technology.

This Phenomenon is known by my fellow Chroniclers as "The Membrance", supposedly symbols they knew well, so well that they saw it every day of their lives, many times, awakens something inside of our ancient racial kin, and brings their engramatically locked personalities to the surface. I agree, on a personal note, as research by Technomancers shows with effort one may drag the Engramatic Personalities to the surface once more, so a primitive form is never out of the question, though I question how it is as effective as Quantum String Recollection Technology.

## Dynastic Structure

The Dynasty is segmented into various portions, which have been referred to as Bloodhouses, Tribe Kingdoms, Sector States and Vassal Empires by the Imperial Scholars who documented the Ilealeath over the Millennia, however what to the Imperium looked like Vassals that made up a whole was merely multiple overlords ruling over Alactien of the Dynasty for their Phaerakh Pektrath. The Confusion seems to have arose from the Overlords each ruling their Alactien in a different way than all the others, and their own specialisations of warfare and colours confusing Imperials who do not have insider information. This has been exploited by the Ilealeath, who constantly exploit this weakness in Imperial Record and their misunderstanding of Dynastic Politics, performing false flag attacks where a Overlord attacks the Imperials, making them expect a similar type of attack to come after, before a allied overlord swoops in and attacks, winning the latter honour and prestige and the former a wealth of resources from the raid. *(See: Octlain Ensnarement, Raid of Fornix-IV)*

## Relics

### The Blade of Fire

"Wielded by the Bastard Overlord Kul'rex the Conqueror, created by Master of Transmogirifcation Io'phan the Black Forger, the blade was stylised to be like the Volcanic Magma's of the Overlord's Homeworld of Rul, so much so that it flicks like flame and the blade itself like a magma. Scripture suggests that it was used by The Conqueror to personally slay ten thousand of the Fair Ghast Species before the War In Heaven."

"During the War in Heaven, it is stated in the \*"Book of Rul"\* that "He (Kul'rex) went to battle with the Khainite Lord, Raghar The Eternal. Engaged in a melee to majestic that thousands watching though two C'tan were clashing blades, as the battlefield was incensed by the passionate sparks that emitted from both blades, nearly twenty four hours passed before the battle ended, sparing his foe out of honour". No other reference is made to the Blade itself, though Kul'rex engaged in many other battles. Attempted cross reference ended in the Campaign of Asuryan's Eyes."

"After the Great Sleep was ended upon Rul, Kul'rex attempted to expand his Domain. Exeucting thrice tactical blunders, the attempt on taking Garash with a single Decurion, the Failure of Jurian and the Scouring of Slakkor. Disgraced, he engaged in a desperate assualt on the Daemon World of Mai'texzalan, he somehow managed to nearly overtake it, perhaps through luck, the usage of Noctillith or the usage of Canoptek Spyders, though likely all three. However at the precipice of victory, the world lashed out at him, and Kul'rex and his Blade vanished into Oblivion. Lost Forever.!

### The Spear of Speech

"Crafted for the High Overlord Haqurin, the Mute, by Master of Transmogirification Abel the God Maker, the Spear of Speech is a unique artifact, from centuries before the War In Heaven, passed down generation to generation of the mighty Liuqq. Cursed with muteness, a lack of a tongue, as much as Necrontyr were cursed with cancerous tumours, the Spear of Speech acts as the communicator of emotion for whomever does hold it's slender form. Akin to a Warscythe in the neutral form, with a curved rather than straight blade, and a multiculoured energy field to display emotion, it is a masterwork of engineering and it's many forms change the actual aspects of the blade itself."

"Falling to the hold of Tra'za, the Unspeaking, and used during the strategic victory of Kareal, it's property to show to his warriors what their commander felt was pivotal, as none had to hear the order to fall back when he realized the field was trapped. Over the battle, his blade changed form no more than eight times, changing it's form like a fluid, which the *Kareal Blood Campaign* dictates to us as being "a Ornate and Beautiful Spear, a dual handed Hyperphase Khorpesh, a huge dual sided Voidaxe, a Black Scythe which reaved souls and a Lance of Pure Light", this confused his enemies, and as he was engaging in multiple honour duels, eliminated their command structure, a tactic that won him the battle. "

"It is unknown what exactly Tra'za the Unspeaking did during the War In Heaven, but we are aware that he, 3,526,007 years into the conflict was a part of the capturing of an Old One's Stronghold known as Caerl, where his valiance was noted as being one of the two major factors of Caerl's Fall, alongside the strategic usage of Death Sphere. In the modern era, the Overlord has not yet awakened, but those serving under the Liuqq Royal Family on the world of Confex believe he shall rise soon, as his blade has been rapidly changing emotions for the last decade, showing a link between his latent mind and active intelligence still exists"

- *"Liuqq Reliquary",* by Chronicler Harazid, the Omniscient
