History
The destruction of Death's Welcome's Knight Houses in battle, has long been foretold and has greatly impacted the Households' society. Each House is now composed of morbid nihilists who worship the Emperor as the harbinger of war and ending, and go to war in Knight suits of sable and bone; while singing fervent dirges from beneath their chain mail veils. Because of their beliefs, when the splinter of Hive Fleet Hydra invaded Death's Welcome, the Households greeted the news with sombre rituals of celebration, before gladly marching to meet their foretold ends. However the Knights of Death's Welcome take such a heavy toll on the invading Tyranids, that Hive Fleet Hydra's Bio-ships retreat after their reserves of biomass become dangerously spent. While through their efforts Death's Welcome is saved, the World's Knight Houses are devastated and just eighteen Knights remain alive from a starting force of over four hundred.[1]
