Zarakynel

Keeper of Secrets, Bringer of Torments

Also known as Bringer of Torments, Souleater, The Unholy One, Angel of Despair

Zarakynel is a Keeper of Secrets serving Slaanesh, known as the Bringer of Torments and the Souleater, who specialises in preying on the Aeldari. Her further titles are the Unholy One and the Angel of Despair.

Slaanesh has many Keepers, and their aims differ. N’Kari seeks an audience, and Helbane seeks single combat; Zarakynel seeks the final cry of the inhabitants of a craftworld. Exodite worlds and maiden gardens have learned that a beautiful visitor may arrive as a harvester.

Aeldari songs name her as a personal debt rather than a random disaster. Spiritseers who read those verses are said to sleep poorly afterwards. Of Slaanesh’s many Keepers, Zarakynel is the one the Aeldari recorded, and the record treats her attention as directed at them in particular.
