She and the Sisters of her Shrine - composed of Fiyanna, Narimeth, Mytheneth, Loronai and Kailleach - joined the strike force, led by the Farseer Tyleannar, that was charged with destroying the corrupted Craftworld Lanimayesh before it could be claimed by the Chaos God Khorne.[1]
Once they arrived on Lanimayesh, they were attacked by the Daemons of Khorne and disaster soon struck the strike force. Kailleach, the newest member of the Shrine (who had not yet shed blood as a Banshee), was overcome with the heat of combat and charged a Herald of Khorne, who easily struck her down. Before she could be killed by the Daemon, Clyona intervened and clashed blades with the Herald, but soon found herself outmatched. During the battle, Clyona overreached in an attack that left her fatally open to the Herald's weapons and was killed, but her vengeful Sisters soon sent the Herald screaming back to the Warp. Though they were bereft of Clyona's leadership, her Sisters went on to aid the strike force in successfully completing its mission and later recovered her body, before Lanimayesh was destroyed. Once they returned to their Shrine aboard Biel-Tan, the surviving Howling Banshees mourned not only the loss of Clyona, but Mytheneth as well, who had also died on the mission to destroy the doomed Craftworld.[1]
