That was sneaky. New turn then?

The cursed Cadian dogs had arrived, fresh and ready for battle. Nicholai could not fight a battle on four fronts, nor was he foolish enough to try. Back to Epsilon, let the orks, traitors and warp scum have the wretched Hive Armageddon!

Vostroya moves 1 to Epsilon, Reinforces 2.

Despite its immense size, the black-hulled Void Stalker Tear of Isha glided nimbly away from the listing wrecks of the enemy fleet. Warp-drunk mon'keigh called these evil vessels Infidel Class Raiders. To Farseer Ghreivan, who had just seen to their destruction, they were no more or less than a single strand each. Just a single strand among countless others, all woven through a much larger pattern . . . Ghreivan could almost see these numberless, ethereal threads of fate as he gazed out into the void.

"Your skills are formidable," the Autarch of Tear of Isha admitted. His melodious voice betrayed little of the reluctance lacing this confession. "We sustained no damage. The mon'keigh could not even manage to return fire."

Ghreivan did not turn from the starry voidscape toward the warrior. His gaze moved slowly over the ruins of once-mighty Iyanden. Only a small part of the ancient Farseer's waking mind had heard the Autarch's circumspect compliment. The rest of his thoughts followed the threads of fate, probing through time and space, groping for the shape of this part of the pattern. What strands bound Iyanden to great Ulthwe?

Farseer Ghreivan inhaled deeply, letting his consciousness coil slowly back into the confines of his physical body. He held the breath for a long moment as he turned to face the Autarch.

"My vision is clearing," he exhalded in a harsh whisper. "I am assuming command. Make course through the Webway for the Eye. Ulthwe will have need of us soon."

@Albatross: Keep in mind Orks cap at 20. If you get a chance, you can retake your turn before the end of the day (EST).

Crap! Sorry about that Manchu...I'll just reinforce by 1. That's a legal move, yeah?

The living wraithbone of the command deck aboard Tear of Isha was as deeply dark and lustrous as volcanic glass. Every surface dimly reflected the glittering stars of the Void without, mingling amid the sharper but lesser glints of Spirit Stones adorning ornate robes. These precious stones, mused Farseer Ghreivan, reflected other stars—the glittering stars of the Void within.

The ancient Farseer stood encircled by his meditating Seer Council. He slowly turned on his heel, looking into their faces one by one. Most of their eyes were closed, peering deep within themselves and so also far across time and space.

“We are upon the Eye,” a helmseer reported. “Shall I make for Home?”

A near-unimaginable distance yet lay between the Tear and her Craftworld but a mellow tone of hope rang in the helmseer’s voice nonetheless. Ghreivan did not share that longing, at least not exactly. To the sightless vision of his art, whereby he could perceive the soulfire captured in Spirit Stones, the Infinity Circuit of beloved Ulthwe blazed brighter than the galactic core.

“Commence long-range sensor sweeps,” the Autarch commanded, ignoring his Exarch’s appeal.

“Thorns prick at my mind,” a Warlock half-sang from behind Ghreivan. The Farseer smiled briefly. Melnibh was his most promising student and he relied upon her more and more.

“Confirm presence of the Swordwind, helmseer,” Ghreivan nearly whispered. And then to the favored Warlock: “Your coordinates were exactly accurate, Melnibh.”

“A sister fleet is present,” the helmseer responded immediately. “Two Eclipse cruisers escorting a Shadow. They bear the runes of Biel-Tan. They are closing in on a target but I cannot read it clearly.”

“Move to join their attack pattern,” ordered the Autarch.

“Correct, noble Autarch,” the Farseer remarked. He turned to his apprentice. “Melnibh. Tell me what else can you sense here, so near to our Home?”

“I feel its . . . absence . . . like a gaping hunger--” She broke off, her violet eyes flying open. “Farseer, the Devourer!”

The Autarch blanched and immediately turned to his weaponseers.

“Reserve power to the Tear’s pulsar lances! Ulthwe will not join Iyanden in the Songs of Sorrow!”

Hmmm . . . alright. Well, I guess that you will be taking Ulthwe back as of tomorrow.

"Autarch! Biel-Tan has broken off its attack run," the helmseer shrieked.

"What?" Ghreivan started, spinning around.

"They are entering the Webway now," the helmseer continued.

The Farseer hung his head and turned to face the Voidscape. Melnibh joined her mentor, her eyes focusing on her own reflection in the crystalline wraithbone of the viewing port rather than seeking further out to glare at their fleeing kin.

"They are fools," she hissed. "The Rebirth of Ancient Days, indeed." She sensed Ghreivan's disappointment, heavy as the tread of a Wraithlord.

"My vision remains clouded after all . . ."

"No," the Autarch insisted. "It is not your vision that is clouded, noble Farseer. Continue our approach and stand ready to enter the Webway after completing the attack."

Err. Alright!

"Danu" Lugh both yelled and mentally shouted. "Communications are going crazy."
The Farseer stood up suddenly as she sensed a change. She had been meditating in the crystal dome, psychically leading her warriors on the precision strike but this had left her isolated and unable to handle any communications other than those pertaining to the strike. The Strike had just been completed successfully and was coming out of her trance when she heard Lugh.Danu moved to where she was a bit more isolated and asked"What is happening?".
This time Lelldorin replied," We are receiving messages from two commanders claing that they each speak for Ulthwe." "They one has been asking for us to call off our arracks and the other is declaring that we ignore these messages because they are the new leaders of the Ulthwe War Host."
Danu stood for a moment with a pensive look upon her face before ordering, "Halt all operations and withdraw to the Eye of Terror. We WILL get this sorted out".

Upon arriving at the Eye of Terror, Danu was truly suprised for the first time in a century and uttered "What in the **** is going on?".........

@Manchu- do you want to adjust your post to today or do you want me to incorporate your post into my first of the day one?

Looking it over, I see it was a second early. So I will repost with your move to make it official (no going back, to be fair).

@manchu: If IS is back, and you're handing back Ulthwe, then undo both moves, and let him make the move??

@ff: did you miss a move? Where are Red Corsairs?
