In their preliminary investigations, during the earliest expeditions to Arkunasha's surface, the Earth Caste had made a disturbing discovery. And risen, and drawn the sword, and on the foe
Be Thou at my right hand,

The last of the Ethereals had been found, headless, surrounded by his unconscious bodyguards. However, a strange phenomenon occurred at an eight pillared temple dubbed the Great Star Dais by the Air Caste; wherever an Ork fell to the dusty stone, a bizarre explosion of light spilled out. Meanwhile, O'Shaserra took her Stealth Cadres to the dark side of Dal'yth, constantly moving in rotation with the system's sun so that every raid she performed was under cover of darkness. One infinite sea of glory: Thus, ye clouds,

Despite sustaining heavy losses to long-range suppression fire, they were slowly converging on the capital hexodomes central to the planet's eastern hab-states. Once the preparations were complete, Aun'Wei gave one of his final speeches and the fleet of the Great Reclamation was launched into the Damocles Gulf amongst grand celebration. An Ork invasion of vast size had descended, slamming giant asteroid fortresses into the planet's dunes. acclaim. Lured by the love of the genii that move

O'Shovah sombrely argued against this course of action. As his chillingly effective methods burned the Orks from his enclaves, O'Shovah's one concession to his own desires was the isolation of the Orks' leader, Grog Ironteef. After the Arkunasha War, Farsight continued to battle against the greenskins and helped defeat two more Ork WAAAGH!s, before being called upon to fight in the Damocles Gulf Crusade. With the collected winds within your womb,

Ordering his lieutenants to remain behind and fight on in his stead, Farsight strode quickly out of the Fire Caste's high command, climbed into the command cradle of his XV8 Crisis Battlesuit, and took off toward the horizon. path

Still within
Wherever the Ork glyphs for "Boss," "Mek" or "Dok" appeared on an Ork vehicle, the Hunter Cadres would prioritise their destruction with concentrated Hammerhead fire and XV88 Broadside Battlesuit support, slowing Ork response times to a crawl. A fear which tightly claims
The T'au were not the only ones to have taken advantage of the Imperium's armies being withdrawn however. Close combats erupted along the length of the gorge as the cramped conditions the T'au had engineered for the battle prevented them from using hit-and-run tactics.

Led by O'Shovah himself, each of the battlesuit pilots in the unit is a veteran of dozens of battles. The last stand became a massacre as a hulking, ostentatiously-dressed Warboss flung himself into the fight. In darkness I have light;

With the benefit of hindsight, it was clear that the expedition's Ethereals already knew something of the existence of such things. His old friend, O'Vesa, was still clinging to life by virtue of a cocktail of age-regressive drugs of his own invention. bound us,
You who used to make me tremble,
Farsight ordered the entire fleet of Tinek'la to enter extreme low orbit and mag-lift the nodes to safety. Though the T'au had known doubt before, the death of all three of the expedition's Ethereals cast billions of souls into confusion and angst. with a mighty wall,
They then went to the farm buildings, and found Bard outside, and told him of their journey, and withal that they would fain be there for the night. In deep talks with Por'O'Kais, Commander Farsight came to the conclusion that one of the Ork race's primary weapons was its warlike spirit. In a cavern under is fettered the thunder,
Within a matter of only a few moments, the affliction had spread to a second ship, followed swiftly by another and then another, until none were free of the malign tendrils. No longer did the Fire Caste dance out of reach, engaging the greenskin menace at close quarters only when absolutely necessary. Right onward to the golden gate of heaven,

Confusion reigned around the perimeter of each Imperial column as carefully-placed tank killers hemmed in the great mass of each vehicle company. And breathe pure celestial air;

She moved in front of Farsight, blocking him from view as she calmly outlined her plan. Something was attacking his world, something that was changing the substance of his home to better suit its purposes. Thy shadow o'er the vale moves slow;
Driven from her house, their mother tested her hard-hearted son Zethus, and her son Amphion easily moved to tears. Fill the soul with glad surprise;
Farsight relayed his greatest of respects to his honoured comrades and prepared to give his life to buy O'Vesa a few more precious seconds. They roamed the sands with their Knarloc packbeasts, stoically weathering the losses from rust tornados as they plunged into the tempests to ambush the Ork Nobs inside. Thus it is to us
He recalled the words of Master Puretide, reminding himself that though he and his fellow commander were very different, they strove for the same goals. Lead us in thy perfect way. The Orks roamed Lub'grahl in their billions, besieging every last node, and the T'au were beginning to starve. gain,

Friend,

When a towering monstrosity killed Shas'O Varg'ha with a blast of bio-electricity, burning him to death inside his Riptide, Commander Bravestorm, long interred within his life-supporting battlesuit, charged underneath the Tyranid Bio-Titan's midsection. O'Shovah and his Ethereal masters were forced to consider the matter of Ork reproduction, a train of thought no civilised species should have to follow. For suffering and sorrow was

Furthermore, whilst Farsight was methodically smashing base after base on the fringe of the Vorac Belt, hundreds of the furthest asteroid ships were accelerating towards the worlds of the next system. Ah,'tis heaven at last! E'en in its very motion there was rest,

With Admiral Kor'O'Li'Mau'Teng's finest pilots at the tip of each spearhead, the T'au fell upon the clumsy Ork fleet with dizzying speed. Over the rills, and the crags, and the hills,
Though the T'au's confidence in their own supremacy had been severely shaken, they had triumphed in the final reckoning and learned much about the Imperium. God's refuge is Jesus, the One that I spurned;

As more and more Ork vehicles became armoured in, or even wholly constructed from, oxidised metal, the hordes blended with the desert itself with a form of accidental camouflage. The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star - Volume 80 - Page 823 As still as a brooding dove. These were Space Marine craft, their blunt hulls somehow reminiscent of flying fists and launched with much the same intent. The tactics employed were O'Shaserra's, no doubt; Commander Farsight would recognise them anywhere. Even the drill-titan Stompa was protected by a force dome, the Heavy Rail Rifle rounds of Farsight's Broadside teams simply disintegrated on impact. Let me no more my comfort draw

After returning to the Western Veil to garner experience as a Fire Warrior shas'ui, Shoh was quickly inducted into the armoured elite of the T'au armies.

However, the Space Marines struck back hard, eventually assailing Gel'bryn city with an insertion pod assault so ferocious that it shattered the hexodome roof and blew out the atmosphere inside. In doing so, they had doomed themselves to a swift and painful death. March onward to the zenith, ever darkening,

This turned to eternal gratitude at the Battle of the Great Web, where Shoh shot the shas'ui free of a tangleclutch trap, saving him from the eggsacs of the Oestromystics and the horrific death that would otherwise have followed. When all is out of sight. With a sickening lurch of thought, Farsight realised that the most dangerous threat to the T'au Empire was himself. On Earth as on an open book;

A period of unprecedented mayhem and confusion erupted as the Imperial fleet fought its way through the orbital defences of Pra'yen and barged straight on to Dal'yth Sept, intending to make planetfall upon the T'au homeworlds no matter the cost. The End Times (2519 - 2528 IC) is the great cataclysmic apocalypse that was predicted to bring about the end of the Warhammer World.It was heralded by the arrival of the Twin-Tailed Comet, both an omen of hope and one of destruction.

Such was the diligence and precision with which they observed their military doctrine that, in studying them, Commander Farsight was able to write down their tactical imperatives as a set of commandments. He noted that the Imperial armies appeared to value armour above all else, and so he pioneered the deadly Sunforge pattern of Battlesuit armament as a counter.
