User blog:Zixes/The Coven of the Deviant Seal

Ok, so I had a little change of mind, and I thought to make a Dark Eldar Haemonculi Coven. I did because I was finding difficulties with creating a Corsair Warhost. Took a lot of time to name my Corsair Prince and his Bloodsworn and etc... after a while I have realised that I was still unsatisfied with my Fanon Faction, so I thought a little bit and decided to make a Fanon Haemonculi Coven. This will be more interesting for me.

So I present to you my Dark Eldar Faction- The Coven of the Arcane Seal.

The Coven was created 3000 thousands Terran years before the Fall of the Eldars, during the time when the Pleasure Cults began to rise. It is rumored that the Coven was formed in the Dark underground tunnels of Commorragh, where the first Haemonculi have started their wondrous experiments upon those who were to foolish to give into the mindless temptations. One of those Artists of Flesh have created the Coven of the Arcane Seal, this Master of Agony is so aged that his name is all but forgotten(Even to himself). His Disciples call him merely "The Elder", though he is known as "The Ancient".

The Coven is called such because of the Elder's never ending task for enlightenment. During his rise for power, the Elder has discovered a lair within the underground catacombs of the Dark-City. These were an ancient Eldar Lexicon Hieroglyphics, the Elder belived that those Hieroglyphcis were created during the creation of the Dark-City itself. He have studied every letter that he could find, except the last Seal. The Elder believes that those Runes hold some mystical powers behind their true meanings.

The Ancient holds no real power over the Coven, for he had given it to his most trusted Disciples. The Ancient spends all of his time uncovering the enigma of the Seal, while studying all of the aracne texts that his servants bring from across the galaxy. There is a Great competition over the rule of the Coven, though none of the Disciples would dare to plot against their old Master, knowing fully well the price for their failure... legends tell of the suffuring of those who had gone against the Elder, anyone who could have been linked to the plot pays the double price for the conspiracy, the Ancient is very old and paranoiac being, and would not even hesitate to punish his most loyal sons...

The Elder have created the Coven for the sole task of the Great Revelation, to aid him in maintaining the power over those tunnels and to search the Galaxy for clues that could help him reveal the Truth about the Last Seal, and ofcourse... to feed upon the suffering emotions of the any living being...

While some of his Disciples do hunger for the Arcane knowledge as much as their "Father", most of the Coven desires the raw-power over their rivals in Commorragh. Like any other Haemonculi, they want to feel nothing more but endless sensation of Agony of their enemies and that of the Inferior races of the realspace.

Faction Short info:

Leader: Nameless Haemonculi(believed to have forgotten his own name), known as: The Father, the Elder and as the Ancient(the Spiritual Master of the Coven).

Disciples of the Ancient- are a group of Haemonculi who control the Coven. Their task is to feed the never-ending hunger of their Master for the arcane knowledge, as well as to bring him more suffering emotions of the other creatures of the Galaxy.

Notable Disciples of the Ancient:

Lord Magrathol- One of the Eldest Disciples of the Ancient. He holds some knowledge regarding the ancinet Hieroglyphics, but would never dare to share them with the others. As any Haemonculi, he is a Sinister and sadistic being, taking great joy of tormenting his enemies and the weak ones. Centuries old being, he have seen and discovered more than any other member of the Coven. He remains the most trusted Disciple of the Father until this day.

Lord Zinac- One of the most paranoiac Disciple of the Father, his age is only seconded to the Ancient himself. A great Sage, Zinac is the most untrusted amongest the Disciples. Some believe that he is playing a roll of a spy for his Master, yet no one really knows the truth of the matter. When there is no other way to solve the issue, the servants of the Ancient come for Zinac's aid. His price is Great, but so is his knowledge. Like Magrathol, Zinac has a piece of his Master's knowledge. Though not even the Disciples of the Ancient can tell where he has obtained it, Zinac is the most mysterious Haemonculi of the Disciples.

Varcalith- The most youngest of the Disciples, the least tempered, bright and serious of his so called "Brothers". He is the most Sinister and Ruthless, no one really knows how he had achived this position. Some say that the Ancient have saw some potential in him, other say that Varcalith gained this power through plots, blackmails, and assassinations. Like his Master, Varcalith hungers for uncovering the Truth behind the Seal. unknown to the other Disciples, Varcalith has more knowledge of the Hieroglyphics than the two combined. He is greatly underestimated by Magrathol and Zinac, for his childesh and foolish manners. Though Varcalith is very persistent and strong-willed. He may even succeed his own Master one day.

That's the story behind the Coven... the military strength will be uploaded soon...
