The '''Kabal of the Dying Sun''' is one of the oldest and most revered [[Dark Eldar]] [[Kabal]]s of [[Commorragh]].

==Overview==
Operating from an impenetrable mountain-like stronghold within Commorragh known as the '''Pinnacle of Disdain''',{{Fn|3}}, they prefer raids by sunset, for their leader, [[Archon]] [[Vorl-Xoelanth]], is obsessed with the transition from light and hope to darkness and despair.{{Fn|2}}.
The Dying Sun are known to show great disdain to anything that is not thousands of years old.{{Fn|2}} They maintain many old artifacts from the [[Eldar Empire]] and are infamous for their ability to extinguish stars.{{Fn|3}} Their ranks include more [[Trueborn]] Drukhari than any other Kabal, and they openly disdain the "lesser born" (including [[Asdrubael Vect]], who they view as a usurper).{{Fn|5}}
The Kabal keeps within it's armory ancient and forbidden arcane heirlooms of the [[Eldar Empire]], weapons of mass destruction as lethal to their users as their victims capable of sucking the life force from worlds to exterminate whole races of sentient beings, and even to destroy stars – much stars—much to the mockery of other Kabals – but Kabals—but their rivals cannot explain the disappearance of the sun Echillos during the [[Aleuthan Persecution]].{{Fn|5}} Because of the hazard of their use, these weapons are used sparingly.
The arch-rival of the Kabal of the Dying Sun is the [[Kabal of the Falling Moon]], with the lunar sect ruled by Vorl-Xoelanth's twin brother, [[Y'polleon]].{{Fn|1}}
