Here is a work-in-progress background for my Kabal army. Just thought I should post this to corrupt this Board with the presence of the Dark Kin
Kabal of the Black Skull History
Supreme Leader: Tokath-Marg, The Death Scorpion
Notable personalities:
-Ard-Iadanna, Tokath-Margs personal champion and member of the Council.
-DorchSuith, High Priestess of the Wych Cult of the Warped Princess
-Distau-Shenestra, Priestess of the Wych Cult
Kabal History
The Kabal has its origins in the early days of the Dark Eldar society, and wields great political powers, even though it is a quite small Kabal. This is possibly because of the seemingly strong bonds between Tokath-Marg and the shadowy Incubi. Unlike most Kabals, they have a strong martial discipline. To become a member of the Council of 6, the leading unit of the Kabal, it is required to challenge and win over a member in single combat. This also applies to the lead seat as the great leader of the Kabal, but none has ever succeeded in this for millennia. This tradition means that assassinations are far fewer from inside the Kabal. When someone betters a council member in combat, the tradition is that the defeated member will be burnt by the “Black Flame”, a weapon that destroys the flesh and leaves the skeleton blackened. The skull is then inscribed with runes and given as a trophy to the winner.
History of Tokath-Marg
When Tokath-Marg was born is not known. Some believe that he has lived since before the fall, and that he was amongst Asdrubael Vects henchmen the first years after the fall. Others say that he was born shortly before he took over the Kabal through bettering the old leader in single combat. He managed to get powerful allies, such as the Incubi and the Wych Cult of the Warped Princess.
The Wych Cult of the Warped Princess (?)
This Cult is the favoured ally of the Black Skull Kabal. From the outside it looks like a normal wych cult, but it harbours strange secrets. None has ever seen the Cult High Priestess unmasked, and her name is long forgotten. She has become a legend in Commoragh, and has been given the name DorchSuith, the Unseen Dancer. Now she is seldom seen in the arenas, but still her ethereal beauty and grace amaze the crowds. Skill-wise she is a match for anyone, and it is said that she once fought 100 assailants without a drop of blood being drawn from her body.
DorchSuit herself has however not been seen out of Commoragh for millennia, but her cult has grown rich on raiding none-the-less. Especially one young Wych seems to have gotten great powers. She is, if possible, even more beautiful than DorchSuith, and many have pointed out that she does in fact share a lot of features with her.
Distau-Shenestra is the wych most often seen accompanying the Kabal of the Black Skull, and she seems to have some special relations with the Great Leader himself, just as many have said that DorchSuith have or had.
Some say that the Cult worships the gods of Chaos, although this seems not to be true. However, many say that they have seen captured slaves being ritually sacrificed to some unknown deity.
The Cult Wyches dress in night-blue armour with a contrasting light grey on parts of it.
Just so it is said, this was written in about an hour or two. Haven't really used too much time on it (the most difficult was finding the names, but most of that had been sorted out earlier (only DorchSuith had to be made...). Thank you, Eldar Language Guide
Oh, and the Kabal History/Tokath-Marg history is to become larger when I get the right ideas.
