" Because , young Seer, they dont deserve to live. They are pathetic slaves and nothing more. Worship of the Dark Gods are... moronic. You dedicate all your life, before and after your death, to their whim. Your soul is theirs to command. But if only, you are foolish enough to let them. That is why I slay them without any second thoughts, or plans for alliance. Because, unlike the lesser races of this universe, we do not bow to any force, we do not serve, we do not give! We are masters, lords, we demand and we take!"
"I see, Lord. I see now that their logic is pernicious as you stated."
"Have you contacted, Hauclir? I wish to know if he is successful or not."
"No, Lord. He has not responded, yet."
"Let me know if he does immediatly. Incompetence is not a luxury anyone on this ship have."
"Of course , Lord. Do you think you are closer to your goal here , on this ancient land of our kin ?"
"Yes....yes I do. The location of the key have been revealed. Enemy forces on this planet are bloody and battered. Mostly the ones that dared to face me. I will not let anything or anyone to stop me from reaching my destiny. This galaxy will remember its old masters."
"I understand. Excuse me , my Lord , but I have to ask. You do not sound much like yourself today. Even without my aetheric talents, I can sense it. Is there... is there something wrong, Lord Gargolmar?"
"Hah. The Gargolmar you know is resting now. After a couple of hours rest, he will be back with you, I presume."
"Then,then, who are you?! What have you done with him?! I demand you to speak. I will not let you or anyone hurt him, do you understand, daemon!"
"Insolent whelp! You do not make demands of me. But I will answer your questions so that you understand your lord and serve better. My name is not important but learn this, that your lord is blessed with an ancient soul of the archaic past. I am his desires, his passions, and his ambition. And he is the rage, the fury, the death of his enemies. Together, we will bring the hope of the Eldar race back to the heart of its people. Together, we will make the Dark Gods remember , that when they were in the peak of their power, they could not made us kneel, even when faced with unspeakable horrors and carnage, we stood tall, cried to the heavens and hell that we will not serve a creature that we have created. We have ruled this galaxy for countless millenia, so we refuse to die in denial and exile. This is the object of our union with Gargolmar. And the Crescent Moon on our forehead is the brand of the pact. The white light of the moon started to show her face , and it will become a Full Moon, as the Eldar race started to ascend once more!"

Gargolmar the Bug-Exterminator
"Haaha! Then I was like whoooosh die you 10 feet long bug scumbag. Their leader died there while screaming at me. Stupid asshole. And I think he said he is some sort of a prince. Prince Dying While Turning to Dust, thats who! After him, I sliced up his remaining buddies, while shouting "YOU MESS WITH THE BEST, YOU DIE LIKE THE REST!"
"Just when I stood at the top of a hill made by the fallen bodies of my enemies, I saw them. A horde of wailing, screaming monsters running towards me. Well, then I pointed my sword at them, looked each and every one of them in the eye and said "Now, fuck off!" They stopped on their tracks, turned back and started to flee like the cowards they are. Then I was at them like a lighting, hacking and slashing and butchering, they cried in fear, one of them even begged me for mercy. But not from me. I was there like an avenging angel, taking ten of their numbers for every Poisoned Fang fellow they've slain. When my slaughter came to an end , I stood there and gazed upon the battlefield. There were none of the filthy bugs around. At least alive."
" But then a lonely figure lurked out of the darkened woods. He started to run towards me with terrible speed. He was fast, but not fast enough. Before he could gnash at me with his filthy claws, I chopped his ugly head off. This time, no one challenged my glory. As I stood in the middle of the carnage, all I could hear was the cheers of my crew."
" Well thats about the whole story my friend."
" I would be honored if I was one of the anointed few who had the blessing to be at your side in these moment of glorious carnage, my Lord. I stand corrected with my false worries about the Tyranid fleet. I see they are no match for your hunger for battle, and finesse with tactics and weapons alike."
" Well , Sima Yi, you dont need to feel bad. Next time when I'm on the ground, you have my word that you will be at my side."
" You honor me with your confidence, my Lord. Pardon me for my curiousity, but the only ones that is missing , are the members of the Wych Cult. And Kabalites look like they dont even fought. Also the combat vehicles they have used. I know the Wych Cult can be reckless at times but like this?"
" Well, my friend, at the party last weekend, when they were fighting, they broke my grandfather's clock. It has sentimental value for me. They should be more careful in the future."
" But, Lord. You dont have a clock , not at least a grandfather.."
" SILENCE MINION!"

Welcome to the Choco Party!
Dressed in a black leather dress, Lilith the Seer, or as known by her fans among the fleet ,"Static Revenger" was singing atop a golden pillar that is carved in the shape of a dolphin. The dolphin, also known among the crew as Eddie, was holding a bolt pistol in one of its fins, and its face was a mask of revenge.
The entire crew was attending the party, as this rises the question that who is operating the moving ship at this moment, the crew did not seem to care. There were drinks and food and drugs being served everywhere by slaves dressed in nothing but shame. Somewhere in the corner, Dr. Mindbender was explaining the magnificence of the muscle structure of some creature they captured on the way, and the listeners were trying to hold what they ate so far. Sima Yi, and his brethren were sitting in a corner and silently sipping their drinks. Two members of the Wych Cult were trying to kill eachother with forks and broken glasses, and the Kabalites were watching with delight , while they shout at them, and waving their money. And the Scourges, the so-called Eyes of the Nihilator, were playing at security again, but nobody seemed to care.
As they enjoy the festivities, everybody was actually waiting their host and master, Gargolmar the Nihilator. As her song coming to an end, Lilith, took the attention of the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" "This sexual discrimination! Why the ladies first?!" "Shut the fuck up, Elbetthe, you scum-sucking asshole!" "Let the girl speak."..... " Thank you, Master Sima Yi. Again, Ladies and gentlemen, may I present you, The Dark One, Fatherless Warrior, Violator of Virgins, Cholocate Thunder, Gargolmar the Nihilator!" As Gargolmar raised on top of a platform at the center of the hall, soaked in chocolate, dressed in a robe de chambre and nothing else, the crew was screaming cheers and warcries.
"My fellow crew members, comrades, friends, MINIONS! Tonight we are gathered here for a celebration. A celebration of victory and bloodshed. As you are aware of, the monkeigh mariners tried to stop our scouting mission. "It was a pleasure tour , not a scouting mission." SILENCE MINION! Nonetheless they have intercepted it , but they did not calculated, that me, Gargolmar the Nihilator, will be with a scouting party , and their attack has turned into a massacre. In favor for us of course. I can tell with discretion, that some of their virgins has been violated, too. Anyway! ARE WE ENJOYING THE PARTY?!!"
The crew was howling with pleasure , as it started to rain cholocate from the ceilings , and Lilith started to sing again. They were dancing, drinking, fighting and fornicating all at once, and Gargolmar, as he watched the scene, some of his scars started to fade, he was already started to seem younger.

Qu'enephé will run red with blood!
"Divert all power to Sonar Awakening Device!"
"Yes, Captain Gargolmar!"
"Hey, do we have something like that on the ship? I have not detected any sonar technology and to awake what exactly?"
"Ah my naive friend Elbetthe." said Dr. Mindbender with a smug smile on his cableridden face. "First thing you have to learn on this ship, is how to deal with our illustrious Lord. If he orders you to do something you do it without questioning. But for some reason you are not able to accomplish the order, for example that being an imaginary ship compartment, you improvise."
"So , what should I do, now?"
"Just open and close the lights in his command room. He will get bored soon enough , forget his previous order."
"My lord , there seems to be problem with the lights. Should I check.."
"No! No need. It must be the crew activating the Sonar Awakening Device. It will soon be over, Lilith. Now tell me of this, Qu'enephé. It sounds.... delicious."
"I really dont have an expert view on the subject my Lord, but I can tell that this is ancient construction of our kin. Back in the early days of the Empire."
"AH THE GLORIOUS AND MIGHTY ELDAR EMPIRE! Do you remember how we have ruled the stars as our own, child?! But what we have done with all that power we have?! What?!"
"I had not the privilege to live in the days of the Empire, my Lord. What have you done with that your power?"
"You should not ask suck kinky questions, girl. So enough of the sublime adventures of the Eldar nobility back in the day. What does this planet system means?"
"I think it is a crude form of warp travel accelerator. Planets seems to be very similar and they are creating a turbulance."
"Ok I will stick to my webway if I have to travel the galaxy. Now get out and write some more songs for me".
Right after Lilith's departure, Master Sima Yi entered the chamber.
"I am here as an answer to your call, My Lord. What it is that you wish of me?"
"I assume that you have already prepared a report for me about the enemies I may encounter on the surface? Am I right?"
"Your insight precedes mine, as always. At first sight, we can classify our enemies in three different categories. First group is the Monkeigh Mmerri'Sou, as known in their own language as the Space Marines. They can be categorized further, by their allegiances also. A group calling themselves Dark Templars , serves the Terran Emperor. Another one with another weird name, the Dead Guard, serves the Enemy, so we should be vindictive specifically towards them. Third group which I admire the most, the so-called Angels of Salvation, does not seem to serve anyone , but their own ends. Our second group is also a Monkeigh brood but these ones are weaker in physical structure but not necessarily in mind. They also , serve the Enemy. Also they are being led by a witch. The last but not least, is the most dangerous group. A tyranid splinter fleet without numbers. I advice that we should avoid them as possible.
"HAH! Good speech my old chum. I have a here, the remnants of the Poisoned Fang Kabal, and they will be most eager to engage the foe for some sweet revenge. Also, if we can cull their numbers early, this planet will not be overwhelmed before I finish my business. We should strike fast in to their hearts and pluck it out. I dont want skirmishes. I want a frontal attack. We will kill what we need to kill , and be back here as soon as possible."
" But my Lord, If you go that deep inside, are you sure can you pullout in time?"
"THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!"
"Yes, Captain Gargolmar!"

Lilith the Seer
Gargolmar was in his room, staring out of his dome to the void between the stars. He was murmuring a song to himself "....then you are pushed and shoved into every corner, then they lead you out to the final slaughter.." then he realised someone was behind him.
"Who is that stalks me in my own domain, this I wonder?" he said without turning.
"Ohh, I..I'm terribly sorry. I didnt mean to stalk or anything, really." said a young female voice. From the stutter of her voice, it was obvious she was afraid.
"What do you want from me, girl ? I dont have time for your nonsense really."
"Ahh, Lord, Hauclir sent me here , for ahh, to report to you I believe."
"Oh you are that Seer brat then eh? I seet that they have collared you properly." he said still without turning.
"Well, yes they did. But no problem there really. I would hate myself If I do something to anger you really. But may I ask how did you saw my collar without looking at me? Are you also.."
"A WHAT? A Seer? An Oracle? Or a Mystic Pilgrim touched by the divine? No little girl. I saw your reflection on the glass.You Seers can see the future but not the tip of your nose. So tell me, what use you will have to me, hmm? With your connection to the warp severed, do you really have any use to me?" Now Gargolmar turned to face the girl, and her fear doubled to see the face of the scarred pirate and she started to shake visibly.
"I will be the connection between you and Hauclir, my lord! With this talisman, you will be able to talk with him anytime you want! Please oh please dont hurt me!Please!"
"Damn girl. Calm down. Show me that talisman and how is that work."
"Of course, Lord. This here is a Mirror of Correspondence. It was made by my master Farseer Nereid, for easy connection between her , the Captain and the 2nd Captain. It can only be used by a Seer, and people attuned to it. Hauclir is attuned to it so he can use it, but for you to interact it, you will need e Seer and I will be that Seer, with your permission of course."
"Ok then. That's a start for you. But gal, this isnt a Isha-damned Craftworld. We all carry our own weights here. Do you have any other useful skill other than your Seer tricks?"
"Well, I can....I...ahhh.."
"Spit it out, what?!"
"I can sing."
"Hahahaha. Really now? A singer eh? Ok, little one. You will be my singer from now on. I like to have some live music in here. I will call you if I want some singing going, you understand?"
Oh, ok. I will be at your service, My Lord."
"Well, ok then. But tell me. That 2nd Captain you told me about . Will he be able to connect if he wishes. I dont want to meet a total stranger on my Mirror."
"My Lord, Hauclir is the 2nd Captain actually."
"What? Who is the damned Captain, then?!"
"Elder brother of my master Nereid. Kinleader Zaknafein."
"You will inform me immediatly, if he tries to connect, you understand me? If I see you talking with that guy in secret, life will be very hard for you here!"
"No,no, of course not, no! I will serve you loyally, I will ...I.." and she broke into crying hystericly.
"WHAT? Why are you crying now? Get up and tell me, worm!"
"I'm afraid that you are going to do me something horrible, please dont!"
"What something?!"
"You know, you are a pirate, and a man, and I'm a woman.."
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU CRAFTWORLDERS?! You are just a little girl you sick minded crazy fool! Get the fuck out of my room! Damn, I dont know what they do teach these kids in those decadent craftworlds.
"Who is that stalks me in my own domain, this I wonder?" he said without turning.

Xeber Cett Campaign için Background
Kabal of the Twin-Snakes of Doom, ismini liderleri olan Gargolmar the Nihilator’ın şahsi insigniasından , Gargolmar, Dracon olarak görev yaptığı sırada o zamanki kendi efendisi Archon Velendris’i öldürüp filosuna el koyduğunda almıştır. Aslında bir Trueborn olmayan Gargolmar’ın Archon mevkiine yükselmesine karşı olan sesleri bastırmak için, Gargolmar Velendris’in Commoragh üzerindeki bütün topraklarını Asdrubael Vect’e devretmiş, Vect de bu sesleri bastırmayı başarmıştır.
Bu noktadan sonra elinde bir filo olan Gargolmar, Commoragh’a dönmeyecek, böylece hem orada kendisini bekleyen düşmanlarından uzak olacak, hem de ödemesi gereken bütün vergilerden kaçacaktır. Korsanlık konusundaki tecrübesi ve ikiz kardeşi Sadobael’in tavsiyeleriyle, kendi yağında kavrulmayı başaran bir filoya sahip olacaktır.
Hayatını tamamiyle değiştiren olay, geceleri gördüğü ve anlam veremediği kabuslarla başladı.Rüyalarının uyku dışına taşmaya başladığı anlarda, kaderi onu bir yıldızharitası aracılığıyla çağırdı.Daha önce gitmemesine rağmen yerini ve hazinelerini bildiği ölü bir yıldıza filosunu sürdü. Bu lanetli taş parçasının üzerinde tayfası ile birlikte aklını yitirmek üzereyken, aradığı yeri buldu. Bu harabeler, Eldar İmparatorluğu’nun son zamanlarının ünlü Autarch’ı Hammanas Archedoleth’in ruh taşını saklıyordu. En son gemisiyle Commoragh’a gittiği bilinen Hammanas’ın bir ruh taşına nasıl girdiği ise bir muammaydı. Bu taşın sakladığı ruhu yemeye karar veren Gargolmar, rüyalarında gördüğü sahneyi gerçekleştirdi ve kızıl bir sisi yuttu. Taşın ev sahibinin isteğini tam olarak yerine getiren Gargolmar, deliliğe giden yolda adımlarını çok hızlı atmaya başladı.
Yeni hali Gargolmar’ı ne kadar kontrolsüz bir manyağa çevirmiş olsa da, bu efektifliğini azaltmadı. Taştan aldığı güç ona yol gösteren bir öğe haline geldiğinden, savaş alanında kendisini kaybetse de, savaş öncesi planları genellikle başarılı çalışmaktaydı.
Ve bir noktada, Gargolmar’ın aklına mal olan planın taşları yerine oturmaya başladı. Dinlendiği odasına bir çeşit Warp yolu ile gelen iki kişiden biri olan bir Astartes’i , diğer kişinin yardımıyla öldürdü. Bu diğer yabancı ise, sadece Gargolmar için yabancıydı. Zira artık zihninde yer etmiş olan Hammanas, karşısında duran Eldar’ı olmasa da, onu aynı kendisinin yaptığı gibi ele geçirmiş olan üç eski dostunu tanımıştı. Bu mavi zırhlı Eldar ise kendisini Hauclir olarak tanıtmıştı. Hauclir the Kinslayer.
Gargolmar ve Hauclir, zihinlerine çöreklenmiş olan bu Eldar’ların planlarını anlamışlardı. Talisman of Vaul’lardan bir tanesinin yerini biliyorlardı ve onu çalıştırıcak olan anahtarların yerlerini de. Gargolmar ve Hauclir’e ise, anahtarları toplamak düşüyordu. Gargolmar’ın filosu anahtarların üçüne de uzaktaydı. Bu sebepten yolculuk biraz uzun sürse de, kaybettikleri zamanı telafi eden olaylar olacaktı. Yolculuk sırasında Hauclir, kendi korsanlarına ulaşmayı başardı. Son savaşlarından geriye kalmış olan grup, Hauclir’in müttefiklerinden rahatsız değildi. Bu yüzden buluştuklarında, korsanlığı kendilerine meslek edinmiş bu tayfa ile kaynaşmaları uzun sürmedi. Gargolmar ayrıca, Kabal of the Poisoned Fang’den geriye kalan bir kısım gemiyle karşılaşmış ve onları da ,isteyerek veya istemeyerek filosuna katılmaya ikna etmeyi başarmıştı. Birinci anahtarın olduğu gezegene yakınlaşmak üzereyken, Hauclir eski tayfasını, Poison Fang’den alınan filoya yükleyip, ikinci anahtarı bulmaya gittiğini açıkladı. Elinde ise bir cihaz vardı. Görünürde gösterişli bir ayna olan cihaz, Hauclir’e, Seer yoluna yeni başlamış olan Lilith tarafından getirilmişti. Daha önce de efendisi Farseer Nereid’e ait olduğunu söyleyen kız, Hauclir’den okkalı bir tokadı da yemeyi ihmal etmedi. Hauclir, aynayı ve Lilith’i , Gargolmar’ın yanında bırakacaktı. Bu şekilde Seer kız Hauclir ile Gargolmar arasında bağlantı kuracak ve böylece zihinlerindeki Eldar’larda planlarına birlikte devam edebileceklerdi.
Bu noktadan sonra elinde bir filo olan Gargolmar, Commoragh’a dönmeyecek, böylece hem orada kendisini bekleyen düşmanlarından uzak olacak, hem de ödemesi gereken bütün vergilerden kaçacaktır. Korsanlık konusundaki tecrübesi ve ikiz kardeşi Sadobael’in tavsiyeleriyle, kendi yağında kavrulmayı başaran bir filoya sahip olacaktır.

Taşın ev sahibinin isteğini tam olarak yerine getiren Gargolmar, deliliğe giden yolda adımlarını çok hızlı atmaya başladı.
Yeni hali Gargolmar’ı ne kadar kontrolsüz bir manyağa çevirmiş olsa da, bu efektifliğini azaltmadı. Taştan aldığı güç ona yol gösteren bir öğe haline geldiğinden, savaş alanında kendisini kaybetse de, savaş öncesi planları genellikle başarılı çalışmaktaydı.
Ve bir noktada, Gargolmar’ın aklına mal olan planın taşları yerine oturmaya başladı. Dinlendiği odasına bir çeşit Warp yolu ile gelen iki kişiden biri olan bir Astartes’i , diğer kişinin yardımıyla öldürdü. Bu diğer yabancı ise, sadece Gargolmar için yabancıydı. Zira artık zihninde yer etmiş olan Hammanas, karşısında duran Eldar’ı olmasa da, onu aynı kendisinin yaptığı gibi ele geçirmiş olan üç eski dostunu tanımıştı. Bu mavi zırhlı Eldar ise kendisini Hauclir olarak tanıtmıştı. Hauclir the Kinslayer.
Gargolmar ve Hauclir, zihinlerine çöreklenmiş olan bu Eldar’ların planlarını anlamışlardı. Talisman of Vaul’lardan bir tanesinin yerini biliyorlardı ve onu çalıştırıcak olan anahtarların yerlerini de. Gargolmar ve Hauclir’e ise, anahtarları toplamak düşüyordu. Gargolmar’ın filosu anahtarların üçüne de uzaktaydı. Bu sebepten yolculuk biraz uzun sürse de, kaybettikleri zamanı telafi eden olaylar olacaktı. Yolculuk sırasında Hauclir, kendi korsanlarına ulaşmayı başardı. Son savaşlarından geriye kalmış olan grup, Hauclir’in müttefiklerinden rahatsız değildi. Bu yüzden buluştuklarında, korsanlığı kendilerine meslek edinmiş bu tayfa ile kaynaşmaları uzun sürmedi. Gargolmar ayrıca, Kabal of the Poisoned Fang’den geriye kalan bir kısım gemiyle karşılaşmış ve onları da ,isteyerek veya istemeyerek filosuna katılmaya ikna etmeyi başarmıştı. Birinci anahtarın olduğu gezegene yakınlaşmak üzereyken, Hauclir eski tayfasını, Poison Fang’den alınan filoya yükleyip, ikinci anahtarı bulmaya gittiğini açıkladı. Elinde ise bir cihaz vardı. Görünürde gösterişli bir ayna olan cihaz, Hauclir’e, Seer yoluna yeni başlamış olan Lilith tarafından getirilmişti. Daha önce de efendisi Farseer Nereid’e ait olduğunu söyleyen kız, Hauclir’den okkalı bir tokadı da yemeyi ihmal etmedi. Hauclir, aynayı ve Lilith’i , Gargolmar’ın yanında bırakacaktı. Bu şekilde Seer kız Hauclir ile Gargolmar arasında bağlantı kuracak ve böylece zihinlerindeki Eldar’larda planlarına birlikte devam edebileceklerdi.

Master Sima Yi, Incubi Master
"It seems my Lord Gargolmar wishes to see his most loyal servant. How may I help my Lord to achieve his goals today?" Gargolmar was standing in his quarters with Sima Yi, leader of the Incubi Cult under his command, and also his Chief Advisor. Gargolmar was wearing a black robe of the finest silk, and Sima Yi, a battered and old yellow robe.
"Well, Sima Yi, I am planning to attack this monkeigh city called Ephrebe, and I would like to take your council on the situation first."
"If my Lord wishes to strengthen the defences of this Ephrebe, and enhance the moral of his people, he should attack immediately. But if he wishes to capture its riches, and enslave its population, he should not attack at all."
"What? Explain your logic!"
"As you wish. The people of Ephrebe, is divided. They are in a conflict that tears them apart. I believe it is about their religious beliefs. If you attack now, they will find a common enemy in you, and will stand together and thus they will be strengthened."
"So what? Do I have to wait until they rip each other's throats out?"
"Of course not. We should attack the city of Al-Khalum."
"That city is a Isha-damned fortress! Do you have any suggestions on that?!"
"If my Lord lets me explain further. The city of Al-Khalum is both a friend and an enemy to the city of Ephrebe. They support a side on their religious division. And they accuse the other side with consorting Xenos as they call it. We should use their suspicions as our weapon against them before our dark lances. If we plant one of our Raider transport secretly to a location near the eastern side of the city, and make it leave there in an exact moment, our victory can not be denied."
"And that exact moment is?"
"The arrival of Al-Khalumian ambassador.When they see our spacecraft leaving the city in a hurry, they will think they catched their opponent with their crime. But as we do not wish to wait for them to act, we will raid a supply outpost of Al-Khalumian origin. They think the position of this particular outpost is only known by them, and their ally city of Ephrebe. So when we attack, they will think the Ephrebians sold them out for a Xeno alliance. And thus we will see the flames of war burning very soon."
"Ok I like the way this plan goes. But, the siege can take months. And we have to act fast."
"We will act fast. When the monkeigh are fighting eachother on the walls of Ephrebe, we will raid Al-Khalum, and thus will gain a plunder greater than Ephrebe can provide, and also cutting the supply for the sieging army. And we will make that known to Ephrebians. So when the sieging army starts to retreat, they will follow with vengeance in their eyes, and then we will raid the city of Ephrebe."
"Damn. Dont you think sometimes it is easier to just act fast and attack, instead of doing some crafty plans and waiting for this and that?"
"No."
