Coven of the Thirteen Scars
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Coven of the Thirteen Scars is a Dark Eldar Haemonculi Coven.[1]
The Thirteen Scars are notable for the Tower of Flesh, the Coven's main stronghold in Commorragh and a living organism made from the flesh of those who defied the Thirteen Scars. It is said that Fabius Bile tutored under the dark arts of the flesh in the Tower.[1] The Coven later battled Bile after he fled Commorragh and attempted to pass on what he had learned.[2]
None outside the Coven know why they chose the number thirteen in their name, and even lower level Haemonculi are unaware of the reason. Some see it as a simple joke or inherent to the fickle nature of its fleshcrafters. Others see this as symbolic of why Haemonculi are not to be trusted.[3b]
