→Night of Revelations
===Night of Revelations===
On what would become known as the [[Night of Revelations]], a grand gladitorial gladiatorial spectacle was held in the Lelith's [[Crucibael]]. Many fought that night before the main event, a group of [[Sslyth]] [[mercenaries]], dozens of wyches against [[Space Marine]]s armed only with knives, and eventually the horde of [[Tyranid]]s cloned from those recovered from the [[Battle of for Valedor]]. The main spectacle was a long anticipated match between the Daughter of Shades, Yvraine, and the master of the arena Lelith Hesperax herself. The cost of securing a seat was high, drawing no insignificant crowd, even [[Harlequin]]s came to see Yvraine and her bloodbrides fight.{{Fn|2c}}
After a wide gamet gamut of bloodshed had the crowd baying for more, Lelith and Yvraine would eventually enter single combat. The master of the arena decapitating a [[Lictor]] the Daughter of Shades was dueling, nearly killing Yvraine in this opening strike. Lelith would make a show of their duel, goading Yvraine's fury. After toying with Yvraine for a time, Lelith would cut off Yvraine's left hand and leave her with a deep stab wound to the gut before departing to provide other bloody entertainment in the eclectic arena full of blood, corpses, and enemies.{{Fn|2c}}
As Yvraine struggled to hide her waning strength, she met encountered a Priestess of [[Morai-Heg]], [[Corag Hai]]. However, while between life and death she was resurrected by the awakening god [[Ynnead]], her left hand restored as a blood-red gauntlet. Her rebirth damaged much of the arena, turning swathes of spectators to flayed skeletons. More importantly it caused a great [[Dysjunction]] in much of the Dark City. Furious at the destruction caused to his realm, Supreme Overlord Vect would send many after Yvraine, but through the aid of the [[Visarch]], some Harlequins, and her old corsair crew of aboard the ''Lanathrialle'', she eluded capture by Asdrubael Vect and escaped into the webway.{{Fn|2x}}
