The Kabal of Agony Eternal-

History-
Before the fall- The beginnings of the Kabal of Agony were anything but humble. Long before the fall the Noble House of Braxsus made a massive profit as slavers and merchants all across the Eldar Empire. They were traders and profiteers without compare and steadily rose to be among the wealthiest and influential noble houses in all Commorragh. At the great Port of Hollow Spire the House made their good fortune by dealing in mass amounts of slaves and exotic goods. The secret to their success was a the noble houses family heirloom; relics of a forgotten past that mapped out secret and lost passages all thought the webway that aloud Braxsus and his line to trade faster and farther than an trader in the Merchant City.

After the Fall- The fall of the eldar changed everything for the House of Braxsus. With much of the webway in ruins and many of Commorraghs old trade and slave grounds gone the house found itself able to monopolize on their advantage more than ever, that was… in till the rise of Vect. Unknown to the Braxsus house Vect was not only a slave… but he was a slave captured by Braxsus slavers and traded at the Port of Hollow Spire. Much like many of the noble houses Braxsus adjusted to the change and reformed into the Kabal of Endless Greed. No sooner had Vect claimed control of Commorragh then he turned his eyes to getting revenge on those who wronged him and crushing those that might cause him problems. Near the top of his list was the Kabal of Endless Greed. Vect knew he could not attack such a powerful house outright and thought of a much more devious and clever demise for the Kabal. In the coming years the Kabals competitors began moving in on their slave and trade grounds. The terrible Crystal Disease laid waste to the Port of Hollow Spire, and a dozen other misfortunes began to take place. During this time Ithir Braxsus was Archon and his son Ithir the second was being groomed to take control of the Kabal. Ithir senior was no fool and knew Vect was behind the crumbling of his ancient houses empire. In a last ditch effort to save his wealth and power Ithir senior gathered his houses vast armies and planned a direct assault on Vects Spire. On the eve of the assault Vects ultimate plan unfolded. In the slave holds of Hollow Spire were over 100 Space Marines of the Black Templar Chapter, that night they were somehow freed of their bonds and set loose destroying the spire in a zealous fury. With perfect timing Vect ordered Braxsuses rivals to assault Hollow Spire. Ithir was completely overwhelmed and Hollow Spire was brought crashing down. The Kabal was in ruins and Ithir junior was horrifically damaged in the conflict. Ithir senior took what was left of his armies and what used to be his heir and retreated to lower Commorragh deep into the underside of Hollow Spire.

Braxsus Reborn- Deep in the catacombs of Hollow Spire was the dwelling of the ancient Haemonculus Coven of the Vile Craft. The coven were very long term allies to Braxsus house and Ithir senior came before them with the mass of flesh that was his son. Ithir senior needed an heir and his son was his only child. The Ancient Haemonculus Ssythic Vile, head of the Coven said he would rebuild his son on one condition; that he have free reign to rebuild him as the Coven saw fit, that Ssythic would have the chance to try and make his most perfect creation. Left with little choice Ithir senior agreed. Staying hidden from Vect the Kabal of Endless Greed skulked in the halls of the Coven for many years licking there wounds. Untill the day Ssythic came before Ithir saying it was time for the unveiling. What came out of the crystal coffen was no longer Ithirs son at all, it was a monster. Ithir junior came out bearing talons instead of fingers, crimson flesh in place of skin, venomous fangs, and worse "additions". In a berserk fury the creature killed Ithir senior and all the wrack attendants in the chamber all to the great pride of Ssythic, in his eyes he had made the perfect killing machine, the perfect eldar. Ithir Braxsus the second looked at the twisted experiment he had become, saw how far his great house had fallen, and fed on the hate and pain it all gave him. Ithir saw how weak his father was and he allowed his Kabal to fail, Ithir swore to make it great once again. Ithir came before Ssythic and the coven of the Vile Craft and made an eternal pact. Ithir would provide the Coven with all the flesh material and protection it wanted in exchange for the service of the covens meat armies. Ssythic rejoiced at the thought of his greatest creation leading a host of his other works of art so of course he agreed.
Ithir Braxsus reforged his father’s pathetic Kabal of Endless Greed into the Kabal of Agony Eternal, among lower Cammorragh he became known as Ynneaoath meaning “The Ghoul King”. The Ghoul King rose from lower Cammorragh a different being. To Vect the memory of the House of Braxsus was a vendetta settled and when he heard word that a new Kabal was rebuilding the Hollow Spire he thought nothing of it.

Present Day- The Ghoul King still sits as Archon of the Kabal of Agony Eternal at the head of an army of haemonculi creations, and utterly devout Kabalite Warriors. The Kabal slowly but surely becoming greater and more terrible than the noble house of Braxsus ever was.


I still have alot more "fleshing" out to do and more to add a in the present day slot and Im going to make a few more slots for army orgnization, tactics, and famous battles. But what do you all think so far?

OMFG! its not a made up SM chapter, why should I waste my time reading this xenos crap? ugh fanboys.

Any advice please?

Sorry... i read it earlier but forot to comment... got a touch side tracked.
It's pretty good but i am wondering how you're gonna represent the Ghoul King, is just a normal
Archon but super powered?

I was thinking just an archon with plenty of wargear. Really in fluff he is stronger than the average eldar but compared to older more experienced archons who have gorged on souls for millenia I imagine he is right on par with the rest of them just much younger.

Thanks for the reply btw. Ill get to the second part this weekend and refine and smooth out the first.

Holy Wall of Text, the things I do for you I swear. Anyways, I like the fluff, just remember to spell check and revise so you avoid Nazis like me.

As far as modelling goes are you going to count him as an archon but model him all freaky deaky? His character sounds more akin to a super wrack than an archon.

Looking forward to the next part, and remember, more paragraph breaks means more views. Appeal to the masses, because they don't have to appeal to you

I really like the fluff, fits the vampyric side of the dark eldar, i am waiting for more
