The Szarekhan Dynasty is a Necron Dynasty.[1]
History
At the time of the War in Heaven the Szrekhan Dynasty was preeminent among the Necrontyr, with its members serving as the Silent King for many generations. This included the last Silent King, Szarekh. After the end of the War in Heaven and the shattering of the C'tan, Szarekh took some of his now-Necron Szarekhan Dynasty into the intergalactic void with him on his mission of exile and penance. Though in stasis, they remained with Szarekh for millions of years until he discovered the Tyranids within the void and returned to the galaxy in late M41.[1]
The Tomb Worlds of the Szarekhan Dynasty remaining in the Galaxy suffered in the meantime. First against Eldar attacks and then by embittered Necrons of other Dynasties who felt the Silent King had abandoned them. the Szarekhan were slow to rise. This only exacerbated the issue, as rival dynasties caused further acts of sabotage while they continued to sleep. When they were finally brought back, they found their numbers much depleted. Despite these difficulties, they wasted no time in asserting their dominance once again.[2]
With news of the Silent King's return, many Necron Dynasties now eagerly ally themselves with the Szarekhan. The Szarekhan nobility views the galaxy with a sense of entitlement, and they are quick to subjugate their rivals and annihilate those who refuse to comply.[2]
