|align=center|'''Slight are the numbers of the [[Asuryani]]. So swindled is our race that many of my kin are drawn to tears should they dwell on that sad fact for a fraction too long. But we have learned the lessons taught by being so few. Each of my warriors is equal to a dozen [[Mon-keigh]] or more. With the thrust of a sword at the right moment I can dictate whether a system will still live in a millennium's time. With a burst of my pistol's shuriken I can preserve a world for generations more.'''

'''This is the hour of our demise.'''
'''The Time of nightmares come to life, and fiends gorging themselves on lost souls.'''
'''It is the hour in which we will be most sorely tested. More than even at the time of the Fall, when our race was trapped in a spiral of obsession so deep we found the vilest blackness within, and in doing so, triggered the apotheosis of a dark diety.'''
'''The unslakeable goddess. The doom of the Aeldari. [[She Who Thirsts]].'''
'''Yet that was not the nadir of our empire, not truly. Only now, as the Ruinous Powers stand on the edge of vistory, do we see the truth.'''
'''The events that tore the heart from our empire were a mortal blow, and one from which we have never recovered. Yet only now, as the skies burn and the [[Dathedian]] bleeds madness across the stars, do we stare into the abyss of total oblivian. In our blindness, we do not see the threat.'''
'''There are those amongst us who say through death can be found salvation. They claim to want nothing more than to unite the scattered Aeldari race, bringing the Children of Asuryan, [[Cegorach]], and even the [[Living Muse]] into close accord under the same black banner. Their philosophy is so volatile, its manifestation so terrifying, that they have brought as much strife as they have harmony.'''
'''Though their words are inspiring and full of dark hope, the truth at their core is a single diamond on a swathe of black silk.'''
'''They believe that through annihilation can be found rebirth.'''
'''One question abides – what if they are right?'''
