The Solemnace Infiltration is a battle that kicked off the Wayforgers of Craftworld Gia'trell campaign to claim an anti-warp device that would free their Craftworld from an insidious Thousan Son trap.

Within the first exposed vault of the Tomb World, the Wayforgers encountered a Raven Guard Vanguard force looking for map data to the entire Tomb World. The Wayforger force engaged the Raven Guard to distract them from the anti-warp device. Unfortunately for both forces, neither side emerged from the battle with their intended prize.

The Raven Guard were denied their map, but suffered minor losses. The Wayforgers, however, were denied their prize by the sudden appearance of Tzayn the Infinite, who stole the device and disappeared deeper into the Tomb World. Though they did not receive their intended prize, the Eldar did emerge with the map the Space Marines wanted, as well as a cache of Asuryani relics and spirit stones. The losses the Eldar suffered for this gain was great, as the Space Marines fought more to eradicate the Eldar force than any strategic objective.

## Wayforger Narrative

Farseer Nuadarir and her mobile force snuck into the Tomb World labrynth and quickly made their way to the revealed vault. Nuadarir had to be led by the Twins, as she focused entirely on her divinations. This world was fraught with dangers, moreso than perhaps any other campaign the Farseer partook in. She suddenly halted, +The Raven Monkeigh are here...They do not seek what we do, but that does not prevent their usual proclivity for devastation from impacting the device.+ Nuadarir proceeded to engage the Ravens in conversation. There was no hope of convincing them to leave well enough alone, but she held hope that the interaction might reveal something to her mind's eye. And it did. Two consoles stuck out to the Farseer's eye. +...Spiritseer, I need you to punch a hole through their lines and hold the designated corridor. Get into positions. Exarch, push the Shrike from the field, even briefly. He is too much a threat to let run wild. Keep the monkeigh focused on these corridors away from my council and the Wraiths.+

The farseer led her council to a console by a stasis tower, +Keep us concealed, Yhued-Yrae, this has what we seek.+ Nuadarir then proceeded to subtly nudged the threads of fate to smile on Spiritseer and his Wraith retine. For the rest of the host, she could offer little without jeopardizing the retrieval of the device that would free their Craftworld from the trappings it found itself wrapped in.

As the stasis field was finally deactivated, a Necron apparition appeared to snatch the device and retreat back into the portal. Despair flooded Nuadarir's mind. A touch on her shoulder from one of the twins helped her restore tranquility to the storm that threatened to overwhelm her. +We are retreating. We did not get what we came for, but we aren't leaving empty handed.+ And, to herself in reassurance, \*The losses we sustained weren't for nothing\* as she clutched a container with an ancient asuryani relic and precious spirit stones to her chest.
