The Blood Stalkers are Morathi's elite archers, a venomous guard who rain death from afar. Each bears a heartseeker bow, a weapon carved from the wood of the sentient ashdusk tree. The arrows loosed by such bows are blessed by Hag Queens, and imbued with the same enchantments as those that guide Morathi's own spear, Heartrender. With uncanny accuracy, these missiles streak across the battlefield to pierce their targets through the heart. In close combat, Blood Stalkers wield scianlar, long daggers forged to absorb the energies released when the bearer cuts the vital organs from the corpses of their victims after battle. Though it may seem so to their less monstrous sisters, these are no gory offerings to Khaine, but tributes destined to strengthen the Melusai's true master, Morathi.
