DateTime:7/8/2009 5:21:12 PM

Mythic has spread strange messages to various Warhammer Online blogs, essentially hinting at an upcoming RvR event possibly this Valentine's Day for the MMO set in Games Workshop's fantasy universe. The hints are as cryptic as they are creepy, and possibly suggest the event has something to do with Witch Elves and their very special day according to Dark Elf custom .The morning after Death Night, the survivors celebrate their escape by sacrificing one of their own household to Khaine - usually a slave or an elderly relative - as thanks for sparing their lives and those of their children.

When Death Night comes all the citizens of a city bar themselves in their homes for ten nights (the duration of Death Night). However, the Witch Elves do break into the houses and drag away their victims to the temple of Khaine where they are ritually sacrificed to the Bloody-Handed God. Newborn babies, however, are offered to the Lord of Murder in the Cauldron of Blood. Most perish this ordeal but those who survive are taken by the temples where they are inducted as assassins.
