In '''778'''.[[M40]] the [[Masque of the Dreaming Shadow]] infiltrate the chronostatic Tomb-Fortress of [[Nemesor]] [[Torlak]] on [[Pardassos]], sabotaging the tomb complex's temporal matrices and triggering a singularity cascade that exterminates most of the planet's [[Necrons]]. The Masque's [[Death Jester]]s ambush Torlak and his [[Lychguard]] in the confusion.{{Fn|7e}}
In '''998'''.[[M40]]{{Fn|7e}} the [[Imperial]] forces of an [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] [[Explorator Fleet]] attempted attempt to plunder [[Archaeotech]] from the [[Dead World]] of [[Karadox]]. The [[Masque of the Midnight Sorrow]] executes hit-and-run attacks at dig teams and their guards to prevent the Imperials from taking the forbidden technology and unleashing the horrors it holds.{{Fn|14g}}
The fortress world of [[Magnor Prime]], defended by the [[Astra Militarum]], comes under sustained attack by the [[Night Lords]]. Just as the terror raids bring the Imperial forces to the brink of revolt, Harlequins of the [[Masque of the Veiled Path]] appear as though from nowhere offering the Imperial officers intelligence letting them deploy their surviving troops to counter enemy attacks before they arise, turning the Night Lords from ambushers to ambushed. After a fortnight, the Harlequin forces show themselves to the Night Lords, who melt away into the warp.{{Fn|14g}}
