Alrighty, fluff time!
During the heyday of the C’tan and their Necron legions, which created a mighty Empire, which spanned the galaxy like little else, there existed one C’tan of whom was referred to as “Baldur”. This particular C’tan, while not the most powerful, was among the most ingenious of its kind. Such was the vastness of the ideas that spouted from this particular C’tan, that Baldur relegated the task of storing such ideas to his hundreds of Necron generals, called Einherjar by their master, who while lacking much of their former personality, still grasped much of their former intellect. However, one C’tan, above all others was jealous of the goodwill loaded up Baldur by the other C’tan, and as such, the Deceiver plotted to destroy Baldur in such a way as to forever be rid of this pest. In plotting, the Deceiver pitted the most powerful, and most shortsighted, of the C’tan to strike a swift blow to the popular Baldur. As such, the Nightbringer paid a visit to the far-flung lair of Baldur, where Baldur welcomed his brethren with open arms, only to be slain swiftly by the Nightbringer as the first C’tan victim of a mass wave of C’tan slayings. However, such was the grief of the fellow C’tan (Who where most worried with the loss of one of their number) that they set out to resurrect the slain Baldur, hoping to construct a wondrous plan. However, key player, the Deceiver, would have no part in this plan, and as such the whole plot fell apart. However, Baldur had made plans in case of such a dire situation, though they are but little more than a footnote. Yet such footnotes where the domain of his Necron generals, who went at once to implement such a plan, like computers programmed to fulfill their task with unerring accuracy, yet the task would need for the Nightbringer to be slain in such away that from its star spanning cadaver, Baldur could be made whole, weak for a time yes and lesser than before, but whole once more. As such, Baldur’s necron legions, under the Einherjar, march forward to destroy the Nightbringer, and wreak havoc upon the upstart races, using the plans of their master to create and repair their automatons. However, the distance involved in getting back to the well-populated centre of the universe is a long journey, with many stops along the way to regroup, and it has taken many millions of years to get this far. The host that the Einherjar lead face many hurdles, for their two greatest enemies are some of the last of the C’tan to survive, and the only other friendly C’tan remain dormant. However, like the Necron race, they have grown patent, and know that one day, sooner or later, the Nightbringer will face his Ragnarok.
