| THE PAIN ETERNAL The Pain Eternal are exceptional in that they do not stage gladiatorial bouts in the arenas of High Commorragh. Instead they are a spacefaring cult that dock only once every few years in the Dark City. Unstinting in the service of the dark muse Hekati, Mother of Strife, the Pain Eternal exists only to tear down and destroy everything that is holy to the lesser races of the galaxy. Acts of anarchy and iconoclasm are held as a kind of inverse worship for the Pain Eternal, for they believe in a higher reward than the adulation of the crowd. The stagnant serenity of worship is a powerful goad to the Pain Eternal. Shrine worlds in particular are preferred targets; the Adepta Sororitas is well aware of the cult's agenda and has brought it to battle in countless warzones. Nonetheless, despite the best efforts of the Sisters of Battle, many a religious stronghold has found massed strike forces of Wyches descending without warning, hell-bent on replacing the surety of faith with terror and doubt. The covens of Hekatrices that lead the Pain Eternal love nothing more than to snuff out the flame of hope wherever it can be found, taking pains to defile and destroy the saints and lordlings of those they see as beneath them. Their detractors often say that the Pain Eternal wreak their own brand of havoc purely to prove that nothing is sacred, but the Succubi that lead them to battle profess a far greater aim — they wish to bleed away the lifeblood not of mortals, but their gods. | |
