Editing The Consortium (section)

==Divergence: Sigmar Redux==
There was a tense moment, before the tears faded and determination was granted a foothold to allow the farseer to perform the deed. Taldeer's pale hand trembled just out of reach of the Ritual Stone of Flushing, her shameful cargo deposited already in the Bowl of the Night Grimace. All about her played the gentle humming of the souls that passed all through the ship's every fold and end. Would they allow her to join them when her time came? They would know, no matter how she tried to hide it the Craftworld; Ulthwe would know.<br>

The shame almost saved the existence of the spawn, had it squirmed in the water of the bowl, had it not opened frog-like eyes all over its misshapen skull to look at its birth-mother... had it not wiggled the appendage that inexplicably poked from its belly.<br>

It gurgled, and struggled to touch its mother. It called out to her with a strained and sickened cry. In that moment fear was all that was needed to push Taldeer to activate the rune on the stone.<br>

The seer was broken at that point, the final act of disowning her child sending her crashing to her knees, bawling in depths of despair that no Eldar had explored in the longest time. The thing that was her child spiralled from view, and in time would be deposited cold and dead in space.<br>

Two stalls down, Belairus of the Singing Blade Banshees was relieved... she wasn't the only one who tried the enchiladas, apparently.<br>

The story of the spawn of Taldeer and the human was not over however. In its cold state it would hurtle through space, gathering debris to itself slowly to form an almost protective layer about it. That it was dead there was little doubt, but in time it would enter silently into the system of Loforia, where an exodite world had fallen under attack by the work of the ruinous powers.<br>

Though Biel-Tan mustered to aid the planet they would arrive too late to save their people, scant seconds after an attack by Chaos Space Marines would have swept through through the major tribal city of the Exodites.<br>

But it was there, as surprised Eldar scurried about arming themselves and the Defiling Lord Belthemon strode to a nearby hill to look down on his rich targets that the debris clad spawn entered the atmosphere, its body and shell burning up in the atmosphere as it roared ever downwards like a shining comet.<br>

Belthemon's entire head was removed as seemingly from nowhere Taldeer's child struck him solidly in the face whilst he roared praise to his dark lords. In the confusion of their master's death the Space Marines fled... and found themselves mopped up brutally by the Swordwind Host that arrived soon afterwards.<br>

This moment of seemingly divine aid passed into the legend of the system, a moment called Lofn, the Saving of Loforia.<br>
