[[Arthas Moloch]] was the latest in a long string of Ork-held worlds Farsight was bent on conquering. However on this world, things began to go bizarrely. At an eight-pillared temple dubbed the Great Star Dais by the Air Caste, a disc of multi-colored light began to move into the sky as millions of Orks on the planets surface battled the Tau. The disc erupted in a gout of energy, revealing a swarm of [[Bloodletter|horned crimson aliens ]] that ripped the Orks to pieces with black swords. After finishing with the greenskins, the creatures moved onto the Tau, blasting them with streams of multi-colored flames that mutated all it touched into stone, water, or statues of screaming bones.{{Fn|2}} After these crimson Daemons came [[Horror]]s and [[Screamer of Tzeentch|winged mantas]] this time led by a [[Lord of Change|winged beaked monstrosity]].{{Fn|3}}

When Farsight awoke, he found the situation on Arthas Moloch had become critical. Fortunately for the Tau, the Greenskins were hurling themselves at the fearsome creatures appearing at the Great Star Dais, distracting them. Farsight immediately ordered an end to the evacuation of the planet, instead ordering that whatever the Tau had awoken here would be dealt with. Farsight immediately launched a counterattack at the Great Star Dais, facing three [[Bloodthirster|great wing beasts with brass axes ]] speaking in a hideous language that even hurt to hear, though the shouts of "Blood for the Blood God!" were recognized. The Tau took heavy casualties, but the worst loss came when two Ethereals [[Aun'Los]] and [[Aun'Diemn]] were discovered dead. Mass disorder broke out through the Tau ranks, and Farsight struggled with not only the approaching enemy but also maintaining discipline in his ranks. Ordering that all three active Tau battlegroups converge on his position, Farsight rearranged his battle plan in an instant.{{Fn|2}}
