The Weeping Veil are a Word Bearers Chapter that is led by the Dark Apostle Mor Jalchek[1a]

Overview

The Weeping Veil use the Styx Heavy Cruiser Ayamandar, as a base of operations[1b]. They took part in the Thirteenth Black Crusade and were a part of the Despoiler's fleet that attacked the Forge World Agripinaa, though this ended when the Great Rift was created. For it was after the giant Warp Storm's creation, that the Chaos Gods charged Mor with conquering the White Consuls Homeworld Sabatine and the Weeping Veil soon departed from the Cadian Gate, to complete their holy task. However due to the Great Rift effect known as The Blackness, the Weeping Veil were unable to locate Sabatine's exact location, no matter what sorcery or instruments they used. Their salvation came though, when the Lords of Silence Warband approached the Ayamandar aboard the Solace. The Lords of Silence also sought to attack Sabatine and its Chaos Lord Vorx offered to lead the Weeping Veil to the world, if the Chapter agreed to combine their forces for the invasion[1a]. After some consideration Mor agreed[1c], though the Dark Apostle planned on betraying the Lords of Silence once Sabatine was conquered.[1a]

With their two forces, the Weeping Veil and the Lords of Silence easily overwhelmed the garrison force that the White Consuls had left to defend Sabatine. But disaster struck the Weeping Veil, when they moved to betray the Lords of Silence by sacrificing a large group of Sabatine's captured population in a ritual, that would allow the Daemonic forces of three loyal Greater Daemons to materialize on the world. Vorx had been prepared for the Chapter's betrayal, since their agreement and had ordered his Warband to poison Sabatine's population during the invasion, which turned them into Plague Zombies. This prevented the Weeping Veil's ritual from succeeding[1d] and soon the Lords of Silence and their new army of Plague Zombies began to overwhelm the Chapter. Mor was quickly forced to lead a retreat back to the Ayamandar, which then escaped from Sabatine's System.[1e]
