Kabal of the Liquid Sword
The Jade Emperor sat back in his throne of blood. Why he called himself that was beyond anybody, and most in Commaragh thought he was a f*cking nut anyway. But the man yielded results, and persevered through the worst agonies and pain. And he was gaining a following more and more everyday. Without the offer of payment. That made the Jade Emperor worthy of respect. About 3 feet from him stood the great Eldar warrior, champion of more than 1,000 campaigns of horror. A conversation commenced. After a few seconds that seemed an eternity for the warrior, The Jade Emperor told the man to rise. The man was annointed with oils of a unique scent by beautiful slave women, and then promptly dressed and knighted. He no longer existed for himself, but for the Jade Emperor, and as such he would combine his title with his name. His former identity was utterly useless. He was now Archon Shaka. Archon Shaka the Great, the first of Jade Emperor's Archons. The two then met in the conference room...
J.E.: Shaka, I want you to set up titles for the leaders of every unit, the same way I have done for you. Their lives are for you, so they no longer need names, just like your life is for me.
A.S.: Yes, your mighty Omnipotence.
J.E.: Please cease the pleasantries, you are a man of power now. Sir will do just fine. But first, we have work to do. My new Kabal is no longer secret, and obviously there are those who would stop us before we've started. In fact, Lord Scarab has already learned of my secret outposts and has threatened to reveal them to all. He, as well as the others, dissaprove of my unorthodox methods. They think we will not last. We will prove them wrong.
A.S.: Such treachery from our own race. How can we take the galaxy when we can't even get it together on our own esteemed homeworld?
J.E.: Such is the way of our kind, do not challenge it. It is for the best. This galaxy is one without mercy. So we must be merciless. Our race epitomizes this, we don't hold back and we don't attempt to justify our actions with meaningless propaganda or limit ourselves in the name of some higher power who never set such limits upon us. If the dark eldar are capable of such atrocities with each other, imagine what we can do to the other races. The dark incident nearly destroyed all of our kind. The despicable Craftworlders are too busy yielding to the false Emperor and his human scum to be useful. The earthlings have a term I like that applies to them: sellouts. We have adapted to the cruel nature of our galaxy better than the rest, and they hate us for it. They give us useless terms like "evil" and "treacherous". We are above their morality, indeed we are above them, but they refuse to yield to us. So we shall take what is ours with force and enthusiasm.
A.S.: So shall we deal with Scarab now, sir?
J.E.: Quite the contrary, we are going to work for him. Calm down, Shaka. You are without peer on the battlefield, but I will show you how to become a master off of the field, too. The key to our kind is to know what to expect from them. Don't attribute them with attitudes and tasks that you know they can't or won't perform. Know what to expect from them ahead of time. I will show you how our kind will not mess with us unless it is convenient for us. You see, Scarab needs help, but is too proud to ask for it so he thinks he is manipulating me into helping him. A slave of his has escaped his grasp; a Craftworld slave. This slave has vital information concerning Scarab's Kabal. He wants us to recapture that slave before the Biel Tan do. He is so desperate, I mean "enthusiastic" to work with us, he is even providing heavy weaponry and troops on retainer. This is an excellent opportunity to whip my legion into shape and weed out the weaklings we no longer need. You will lead the strike, send your troops in first and then support them as they need it.
A.S.: Yes, my Emperor.
