Among the countless cults of the Voidborn Ancients, none is more revered or more feared than the Cult of the Great Blade. Its followers believe that every worthy death is a sacred offering to the ancient God of War, and that the blood of the fallen sustains the strength and longevity of the cult's greatest champions. To them, battle is not a means to seize power, but an act of worship. Every duel is a prayer, every strike of the blade a sacred rite, and every victory another step toward martial perfection. From this faith is born the Deathblade Retinue, the personal host that accompanies the greatest champions and Archons into the deadliest wars across the galaxy.
At the heart of the Retinue stand the Ebon Court Blade, silent masters of the sword whose true origins have long vanished into legend. Some claim they were the first companions of the Archon, others insist they are warriors grown through forbidden arts, while the oldest tales speak of an ancient temple devoted entirely to death. Whatever the truth may be, they are united by absolute devotion to the Cult of the Great Blade. They serve as bodyguards, executioners, mentors, and guardians of the throne, protecting their masters both upon the battlefield and amid the endless conspiracies of the Obsidian Court.
Alongside them walk the Obsidian Greatblades, high priestesses of blood and pain and the greatest champions of the cult. They are trusted advisors, vigilant protectors, and keepers of ancient traditions, guiding the will of the Archons while ensuring that neither enemies nor false allies ever draw close enough to betray them. In war, they become brilliant tacticians, orchestrating lightning raids and leading the cult's elite into battle, turning every victory into another sacred sacrifice.
Leading the Deathblade Retinue is the legendary Ebon Executioner Prime, a being older than the memory of entire civilizations. None can say whether he is a single immortal warrior, an endless succession of champions, or a demigod born from the God of War itself. Only one truth is beyond dispute: his blades have claimed the lives of the galaxy's greatest heroes, and he continues to seek ever more worthy prey. Even the Great Archon lavishes the Cult of the Great Blade with wealth and influence, ensuring its endless campaigns never cease. Some call this devotion. Others believe the Archon simply understands that the wisest way to preserve the Obsidian Throne is to ensure the greatest killer in the galaxy is forever occupied hunting new legends rather than creating one upon the throne itself.
