Kabal of the Wraithkind

The Wraithkind are a Kabal that has suffered a unique type of punishment inflicted by Asdrubael Vect after a failed attempt to secede from his rule.

History
The Kabal of the Wraithkind were once a powerful Kabal that ruled the Pleasure-City of Aur-IIithain, a vassal state to Asdrubael Vect and his Kabal of the Black Heart, but their fall came when Archon Tliensic D'raque grew unsatisfied with being at Vect's feet. Declaring he and his Kabal would never again bow to Vect, D'raque proceeded to destroy the only hyperspatial bridge that lead from Commorragh to the Cyclops Gate of Aur-Ilithain, effectivly preventing any other force within the Webway from invading his realm.

The next night, as D'raque began celebrating his newfound independence Vect launched his attack as six secret portals suddenly opened across the city, allowing thousands of shadow-creatures to pour in. Before the night was over, the shadow-creatures had forever changed the inhabitants of the city by plunging it into a half-real state slightly out of phase with the rest of the Webway.

Now the Kabal of the Wraithkind are no longer Dark Eldar when within the Webway, but resemble the shadow-fiends that attacked their realm. In these forms they are incapable of feeding off the suffering of others like the rest of their species. Only when they depart into realspace to do they return to normal. Venting their extreme frustrations upon the lesser races.

Notable Campaigns
Waaagh! Rekkfist (995.M41) - Only a single year after barely surviving Hive Fleet Kraken, Craftworld Iyanden came under attack by a determined Ork Waaagh! While normally the Orks would be easily avoided or destroyed, the Craftworld in its crippled state was in real danger of being destroyed. U nable to stop the invasion before it reached the surface of their Craftworld, the Eldar of Iyanden were forced to awaken the souls of the dead once again into their Wraith-constructs in order to hold back the coming green-tide. As events become desperate, a Webway portal at the rear of the Craftworld activated and members of the Kabal of the Wraithkind and the Cult of the Flayed Hand emerged to immediatly fight beside their Craftworld cousins against the Orks without ever having been called for aid. After saving Iyanden, the Dark Eldar were questioned by Iyanden's Council of Seers as to why they intervened, and they replied simply that they gain extreme entertainment from watching Iyanden's angst-ridden use of necromancy.
