Legend of the Taigenak
« on: March 17, 2002, 07:37:42 PM »
Just thought I'd put this here before I forgot it. Originally written by somebody else.

The Suin Dallae
As it is well known throughout the known galaxy, at the heart of every Craftworld sits a might incarnation of the Eldar war god, Khaela Mensha Khaine. This answer to the daemons of Chaos is easily more than a match for almost any foe in the cosmos, wading through the enemies of his people like a scythe through wheat. When the Avatar leaves his mighty Throne of Iron, he carries the Suin Dalllae, the Wailing Doom in the language of man. It is called so because it is incribed with many runes with writhe and shriek in pain and anger. This mighty weapon is far superior than anything the technology of any race reproduced, because it is a peice of the weapon of a god. The way this revered blade came into existance is a tale of the anger of a raging war god.

The Forging of the Blade
When Khaine triumphed in the War of Heaven, he chained Vaul, the Eldar smith god to an anvil. Although he had beat his nemesis, Khaine realised the immense skill that this crippled smith possessed. His infamous sword, Dawnlight, caused many a greivous wound to Khaine, and almost turned to tides of battle. Thus, he forced Vaul to forge him the mightiest blade for the mightiest god. At first, Vaul was reluctant to forge such a weapon for Khaine, as with it, he would become nigh-unstoppable. But, Khaine made him a promise. If he forged the weapon, he would not kill Lileath and Kurnous, his sibling gods. So, faced with such a choice, Vaul set to his work. By forging the very essence of the Warp into a truly massive weapon, capable of chaning if the War God so wished it. At a thought, it could become a scythe, an axe, or a spear. Khaine was please with it, and kept good on his promise. Lileath and Kurnous would not perish by his hand. To finish the blade, he dipped it is his own blood. From that moment on, it has always been smoldering, and eternally dripping blood.

The Battle with Slaanesh
When Slaanesh was awakened by the decadence of the Eldar, he destroyed all the Eldar gods except two: Khaine, and Cegorach the Laughing God. Upon facing the foul Prince of Chaos in the warp, Khaine's Wailing Doom took a form nobody had ever seen before. It appeared as a utterly huge sword of black obsidian, cracking with warp energy. Constant howling came from it, and blood poured from it's surface. Such a terrible blade was given a proper name: Taigenak, the Blade of Fury, essence of Khaela Mensha Khaine. With this sword, Khaine maimed Slaanesh horribly, but he ultimately retired to his Avatar forms on all the Craftworlds. However, the essence of the god was carried with him, along with his mighty weapon and all it's shape shifting abilities. Although the pure rage of Khaine at the time he fought Slaanesh will problably never be equalled, it is said that when the fury of an Avatar reaches higher points, his Suin Dallae becomes the favoured weapon of Khaine, War, Rage, Vengeance, and Fury given shape, the sword that is the mighty Taigenak.

When wrong, to be made right.
When right, to be kept right.
