Tales of House Arcaness
(The Black Wolves)
told by Raven-X
Historian of the Black Templars
We will start this tale with how House Arcaness came to be known as "The Black Wolves".
High Marshal Proximo Arcaness and his household were returning from the Armageddon Crusade. Their trip was interrupted by a distress call from Fenris, the homeworld of the Space Wolves. It was muddled and all they could make out was "We...under...attack...beasts...everywhere......." High Marshal Proximo assumed it was "tyranids", and hating them the way all the Emperor's children did; he could not ignore the call. As he was returning from fighting alongside the great Wolf Lord Logan Grimnar, he would not let the children of Russ fall to such scum. He would cleanse the unclean!
They set course for Fenris. Arriving a short time later, they readied the drop pods and started their decent. When the first of the pods opened they were very shocked by what was before them.They saw not tyranids but great wolves by the hundreds, some as large as a MKII Rhino. With only a moment to gasp, the beasts started attacking the drop pods. The Templars lust for battle kicked in, and to battle they went. After almost 10 hours of battle the last of the beasts died at the hands of High Marshall Proximo himself.
The battle was won with few casualties. Wolf Priest Tyranus greets High Marshal Proximo, and thanks him for his speedy arrival. Tyranus asked him to join them for a victory feast that would not have been possible with out him. Proximo accepts and relays the orders to his men.
At the feast, Wolf Priest Tyranus offered the pelts of the wolves that had been slain to Proximo and his company as a gift for their help. He had the pelts, claws, and teeth made into necklaces and ornaments for the armor of Proximo and his house. Tyranus also gave them the honorary title of Furvus Lupus (Black Wolves).
