Lhamaean

"Agony’s Breath and Wrackbane would bring that creature down most quickly, Archon. Of course, if I know your tastes, a hasty death is hardly preferable."

- Morin, Sister of Lhilitu, to Lady Aileas

Many of the greatest and most powerful Archons who have warred against the Imperium were accompanied by these deadly female warriors, tentatively identified by the Imperium’s xenographers as belonging to the Sisterhood of Lhilitu. The workings or hierarchy of the sisterhood are largely unknown, but certain facts have been determined from devoted intelligence work, or the boasts broadcast by particularly proud Archons. The members of the Sisterhood are called Lhamaeans, and devote themselves to the studies of venoms, drugs, and other ways to kill indirectly. They are considered to be among the foremost poisoners in all of the Dark City, an accomplishment as impressive as it is sinister. Lhamaeans revere the mysterious figure known as Shaimesh, Father of Poisons. Certain xenographers hold him to be a mythological figure, and others a historical one. The tendency of Eldar mythic cycles to blur the line between the two has not helped what studies exist on the topic. Whether this Shaimesh was ever real, his influence lives on the deadly brews of his devoted followers. Such is the Sisterhood’s mastery that they can alter the poisons of others to enhance their effect, intuiting how best to maximise a weapon’s potency with a glance.
