And the fluff continues!

The Silence in Heaven

   With the commencement of the second war with the old ones Dagorekh believed he could become even more powerful and influential. But he was not prepared for the difference between war and politics, especially a war fought with armies of being who could not be manipulated any longer. He was at first put in command of the reserve forces which his father believed would not move to the fore front since he was beginning to see that his son was a far more dangerous potential opponent than he had a t first thought him to be. But fate was to smile in a grim way upon Dagorekh as the old ones attempted a highly deadly manoeuvre....

The Battle of Manderat

Dagorekh had for the first time (but by no means the last) been caught off guard by his opponent. The old ones seeing an opening in the Necron lines pushed their full weight against this opening but to little avail. However this was a cunning ploy and suddenly a great webway portal opened and the old ones poured forth upon the Necron rear; specifically at the point where Dagorekh’s forces were stationed: the Manderat system.

The assault was so sudden and so unexpected that within a virtual eye blink over half the system was in the hands of the old ones. But Dagorekh had his forces dig in and they became nigh on unshiftable. However the old ones were prepared for this stance of response and began to shift Dagorekh’s line with silent and unexpected hit and run attacks.

Slowly the line began to give until Dagorekh managed to at last to predict where one of these attacks would be. He prepared a trap for the old ones using a guass net which when the old ones teleported into instantly seized them and tore the life from all but one of them in an instant.

The very sight of the life being sucked out of his brothers and sisters was enough to almost totally break the old one and Dagorekh’s torture chambers did the rest. Finally one of the cryptekhs reached into the aliens mind and tore the location of the old ones from him with such force that it left the alien hollow and dead upon the floor of his cell.

Dagorekh wasted no time in striking back and in a great battle on the plains outside the old ones base The Lord of Silence personally lead the charge and defeated his enemies using their own tactics as he deployed death marks upon their flanks as well as flayed ones to keep them pined in position. Dagorekh was victorious and not one old one escaped the system alive.

Dagorekh was soon rewarded with a promotion and moved to the front line of the fighting for had shown unmatched military prowess in his offensive defence of Manderat. Manderat was Dagorekh’s first of many military stepping stones.

The tale shall be continued.......

Also does anyone fancy taking me on in a duel since I haven't done much online RPing (have done a fair bit offline) and I need to get used to my characters abilities (will have to be in about an hour though since I have to go and do my homework >:(
