Eldar Assassin Lore

Recently, a mysterious and terrifying presence has been 'identified' by select Craftworld Leadership and several other Eldar Warbands of different backgrounds - particularly but not exclusively in horrifying battles with Chaos and other Warp obsessed races. In whispers, the very few Eldar kin who have seen or heard of these refer to them as 'Voidsongs', 'Half-Deaths' or simply 'Silencers.' They have yet to be affiliated with any Craftworld, Troupe, Corsair Band or even Kabal/Cult, but have appeared unannounced in battles with all. The closest communication to a Silencer was after a gruesome and violent campaign with Craftworld Aedenea and a Slaanesh Army that had grown to immense power. Two Silencers, acting in cohesion, had slain a Slaaneshi Daemon Prince, to the aid of Aedenea's Autarch Vailayden Stormsong in a challenge he was but destined to lose. One of the most memorable and unsettling parts of the Twin Eldar fight with the Chaos Daemon was the silence; on both sides. You see, the Slaaneshi Prince was a talker; he laughed, taunted, jarred, moaned, screamed, yelled, almost constantly. He never stopped. For days and nights he would scream in pleasure and yell in anger, always taunting, always bellowing - but when the Twins appeared, he fell silent. It's unclear if his silence came as a result of his incredible concentration on fighting the Eldar Ghosts, of if their mere presence sonically muted him, but minutes turned to hours and the once mighty Prince who was as loud as he was powerful fell as silent as his foes. Appropriately, His death was amplified by the void; a silence so loud it reverberated across the planet. After the fight, there was a terrifying attempt by the Craftworld's Farseer to try and communicate with the Voidsongs telepathically, which nearly cracked her Ghosthelm in two. With no other option, Autarch Stormsong approached them slowly after calling out verbally with no response. As he finally closed in on the two motionless beings and got within arms reach, both Voidsongs held out their hands in syncronized motion and dropped two halves of a broken piece of wraithbone at the Autarch's feet. He carefully leaned down to pick it them up, and when he looked up, both the Twins were gone. The broken piece of Wraithbone was a rune on a chain. It wasn't ornate, no jewels or embellishments; just a pale dusty gray and black; like that of the Twins' suits. It was seldom seen to him, but he recognized it nonetheless, and a shiver of brief fear climbed up his spine as he mentally registered the sign...it was the Rune of Ynnead.
