Farseer Macha of Craftworld Biel-Tan is responsible for divining the path of her Eldar army. Unable to leave the path of the Seer, Farseer Macha is a knowledgeable and focused prophet.
When an Imperial Excavation team on the Planet Tartarus uncovers a Chaos Marker that leads to an ancient artifact called the Maledictum, Farseer Macha mobilizes a small Eldar force to ensure that the artifact is left undisturbed. The Maledictum is a prison built by the Eldar long ago to contain a very powerful Chaos Daemon. Unfortunately, the Alpha Legion Chaos Sorcerer Sindri Myr is also keen to acquire the Maledictum, and so set in motion a scheme that would uncover the artifact and unlock its power for himself.
The forces of Chaos were now aware of the Chaos Marker. The Alpha Legion led by Lord Bale had already made planet fall. The recent Ork Waagh, lead by Warboss Orkamungus kept the Imperial Forces engaged in battle, and made Bale and his Chaos Space Marines practically invisible. Farseer Macha knew that the Orks recent Waagh was somehow tied into the presence of the ancient artifact. Chaos, on the other hand could not be allowed to obtain the Maledictum.
The Maledictum was in danger of being found as Inquisitor Mordecai Toth of the Ordo Malleus had also been searching for some time for the dark artifact. The impulsive actions of the Imperium were always driven by fear more than understanding, and their brute force methods always caused more complications than they solved. For Farseer Macha, the Imperium could not be trusted with the handling of the Maledictum.
Four armies then came together on the planet Tartarus: the invading Orks, the defending Imperials, the skulking Chaos Marines, and the enigmatic and knowledgeable Eldar. Using her psyker divination abilities, Faseer Macha tried to formulate a battle plan that would keep the Maledictum safe. Only the ancient Eldar were knowledgeable enough to guard the artifact.
The Maledictum required a key to unlock it. Gabriel Angelos and the 3rd Company of Blood Ravens wanted to find and destroy it in order to keep it out of the hands of Chaos. In a desperate attempt to guard the key, Farseer Macha called upon the Eldar God Kaela Mensha Khaine. One of her Eldar warriors became Khaine's avatar. Unfortunately, it was Chaos Sorcerer Sindri's plan all along for the Eldar and the Blood Ravens to meet in combat. While the Eldar and the Space Marines distracted each other, Sindri stole the key. To make matters worse, the Avatar of Khaine was eventually slain by the Space Marines, leaving the Eldar greatly weakened.
Sindri was a wily Sorcerer indeed. Like a skilled puppeteer, Sindri masterfully controlled the tides of battle. The Chaos Sorcerer even orchestrated the demise of the Alpha Legion Chaos Lord, Bale. Now Sindri commanded the Chaos Space Marines, and for his coup de grace, Sindri attained the Maledictum.
Farseer Macha soon realized that her destiny and Gabriel Angelos’ destiny were intertwined. It was folly to try and avoid it. Farseer Macha was forced to use her army to support Brother Captain Gabriel as he took on Sindri and the Alpha Legion.
The Maledictum granted Sindri the rank, powers, and form of a Daemon Prince. With the support of the Eldar, the Blood Ravens, and the Daemonhammer: Godsplitter gifted to him by Inquisitor Toth, Gabriel was able to destroy the ascended Sindri. Farseer Macha saw a glimmer of hope. The Forces of Chaos had been denied the Maledictum. If only the Blood Ravens’ Force Commander could be reasoned with, but all of Macha’s hopes were in vain. Urged on by Toth, Gabriel swung the mighty Godsplitter and destroyed the Maledictum, thereby accidentally setting the daemon free. Farseer Macha and her small Eldar force departed from Tartarus as a warp storm traveled towards the decimated planet.
