History

Beastmen were instructed to lure Shadowfast by capturing and torturing Way Watchers, killing the beasts, the wardancer discovered that Nastor Rakk was awaitng him near the now burning family tree of the elf. [1a] Shadowfast ran quickly to the sacred mounds of Equos to confront the Champion of Nurgle who had retrieved a staff of power from the buried elvish dead with which he could raise them as ghosts and command them. [1b]

Refusing to fight his dead kinfolk, the wardancer was captured and about to be sacrificed when another sorcerer spoke inside his head and gifted him with the command word to take back control over the staff. The ghosts of the dead elves were then swiftly turned upon Rakk and his warriors, killing them all before returning to their rest.

Seemingly bound to the artefact, Shadowfast began searching for answers - entering The Vaults he came upon other elves being attacked by Skaven and came to their assistance, only to discover that they were in fact Dark Elves! [1c] Led by Katrar, the Druchii had been searching for the staff themselves, in the ensueing conflict, Shadowfast unleashed the power of the artefact and raised the dead Dark Elves to fight for him until they had all become as ghosts, discovering from them that the staff was linked to the nearby castle of Drakash the Boneseer. The Wardancer led his ghosts to it, even as undead forces began to emerge from its gates. [1d]
