The Khainite Shadowstalkers are a secretive cabal of assassins and shadow-walkers who serve the daughters-of-khaine, the murderous aelven cult devoted to the bloody-handed god Khaine. Unlike the ecstatic blood-worshippers who fight in the open, the Shadowstalkers ply their deadly trade from the darkness, striking from shadow and vanishing before their victims even understand they are under attack.
Cloaked in gloom-woven shrouds, these killers can slip between shadows as though passing through doorways, emerging wherever the darkness is deepest. At the heart of a Shadowstalker cabal stalks the Shadow Queen's chosen killer, wielding umbral blades and drawing upon the power of shadow-magic to blind and disorient their prey. They hunt in eerie silence, coordinating their strikes with lethal precision.
Within the temples of Khaine, the Shadowstalkers occupy a place apart, feared even by their fellow devotees. They are dispatched to eliminate rival cult leaders, silence enemies of the temple, and slay foes too dangerous or too well-guarded to face in open battle. To be marked by the Shadowstalkers is to be already dead, for their patience is endless and their blades never miss.
