The Pyre of Kiliak's Bane
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Pyre of Kiliak's Bane was a battle that occurred in 838.M41 between the Eldar and the Imperium. Imperial xenologists attempted to un-earth and plunder buried Eldar artifacts from the Maiden World of Kiliak. This prompted a vicious retaliation from the Eldar of Craftworlds Biel-Tan and Ulthwé. The Eldar attack was also bolstered by the presence of the legendary Phoenix Queen Jain Zar and over a hundred Howling Banshee disciples. The human invaders were butchered to the last man and their ashes scattered to the wind.[1]
