My fellow nobles of the sector,
I feel compelled to record the events of the Dark Eldar raid upon my household, both as warning and testament. The intervention of the Blood Wolves Chapter demands recognition, though their methods were... unsettling to witness.
The raid began during our annual Harvest Ball. The Dark Eldar emerged from hidden portals within our very ballroom - a horrifying breach of our ancient house's defenses. Our house guards proved woefully inadequate against these xenos monsters.
I witnessed several of our most noble guests dragged screaming into the darkness. Lady Esmeralda's entire family was taken before my eyes. The sound of their tormented screams shall haunt me until my dying day.
When all seemed lost, the Blood Wolves arrived with unprecedented precision. Their war beasts had apparently detected the Dark Eldar's presence despite their technological sorcery. What followed was both salvation and terror to behold.
Their approach was unlike any Space Marine action I had previously witnessed:
Most disturbing was their efficiency. These were not the thunderous warriors of legend, but predators stalking prey. Their war beasts moved with terrifying purpose, sniffing out hidden Dark Eldar with unerring accuracy.
The Space Marines demonstrated:
I witnessed one of their Chaplains corner a Dark Eldar leader. Rather than a noble duel, the Chaplain's war beast simply... I shall not describe it in detail. Suffice to say, the xenos died screaming.
Most remarkably, they:
Their Chaplains provided immediate spiritual and medical care to the rescued, though their methods were unorthodox. I observed them using some form of blood ritual to detect lingering xenos corruption.
Captain Umbra Ironbark demonstrated impeccable noble courtesy, despite:
He apologized most graciously for the bloodstains on our ancient marble floors.
Despite their savage methods, they showed remarkable respect for:
Their Chaplains even performed proper burial rites for fallen nobles, though their prayers were unfamiliar.
The Blood Wolves left us with:
They requested only star charts and migration patterns in return, apparently for hunting purposes.
I must recommend:
I have since modified house protocol to:
While their methods may offend noble sensibilities, their effectiveness is undeniable. I watched my eldest son being dragged away by those xenos monsters. The Blood Wolves returned him to me, traumatized but alive. Some prices are worth paying.
The sight of their war beasts tearing through Dark Eldar like paper may disturb my dreams, but I'll gladly accept nightmares over the alternative.
House Blackhaven hereby declares:
Let it be known that while their methods may be savage, their honor is beyond question.
[Document bears the seal of House Blackhaven and multiple noble house acknowledgments]
To those who would question their methods: I invite you to witness a Dark Eldar raid firsthand. You will find your noble sensibilities regarding acceptable warfare swiftly revised.
The Blood Wolves may hunt like beasts, but they hunt beasts worse than themselves. In this, they have my eternal gratitude.
