Jain Zar The Storm of Silence

Jain Zar (translated as the Storm of Silence2) is the Eldar Phoenix Lord of the Howling Banshees Aspect. It is said that she was favoured by Asurmen in that under his tutelage, she became the first of the Exarchs (the Asurya, or Children of Asur)1,2,3.

Unlike many of the other Phoenix Lords her devotion to her shrines is all but unmatched and she regularly travels between many Craftworlds to instruct her deadly craft, so that now, only the most remote Craftworld does not have a shrine to the Howling Banshees. She disappears and reappears at her own whim and her shrines keep a constant vigil for her, looking for the Jainas Mor (Silent Death) and Zhai Morenn (Blade of Destruction)1,2,3.

In the Second Edition rules she carried also carred a modified version of the Banshee Mask, known as the Mask of Jain Zar1. In the Third Edition Rules she was armed with a Banshee Mask, Executioner and Jainas Mor2.

Jainas Mor

Jainas Mor, or Silent Death, is a three-bladed throwing weapon, tempered within the warp itself. It is wreathed in black fire and is sharper than any mortal blade. It always returns to Jain Zar and never harms her, despite its deadliness1,2,3.

Zhai Morenn

Zhai Morenn, or the Blade of Destruction, is a light, curved blade forged thousands of years ago before the Fall and shimmers with power. It is light and is wielded with dizzying speed1,2,3.

The Mask of Jain Zar

The Mask of Jain Zar was the first Banshee Mask produced and all others have been copies. It is similar in its workings however is much more potent1.
