Never the most fortunate of chapters the Lamenters have always suffered their ill fate in stoic silence. This luck appeared as if it had started to turn for them after the rise of the Primarch. Shortly prior to the gaining of their Primaris bretheren the chapter miraculously received news of a massively overdue resupply shipment coming in from the Forge world of Ryza.
The jubilation at this resupply however was short lived, the expected arms and armaments were not forthcoming and the shipment amounted to a single, ancient pattern, Thunderhawk that was barely armed or battleworthy.
The Ryzan contingent, not wanting to be marred by the foul luck of the Lamenters, delivered this single vessel via remote pilot. On delivery in to the Lamenters flagship hangers the final transmission the received by the Ryzan fleet before breaking orbit as rapidly as decorum allowed was a single archaic and cryptic phrase in high gothic - quid est hoc, formicis planum?
