Many of the splintered survivors of that apocalypse forged their own course of desperate existence from that time onwards, but the Drukhari can be sald to have trodden thelr dark path for far longer, turning an established decadence into thelr salvation Any knowledge of xenos is brutally ‘supprested within the Imperium, Tans ‘only a fraction of Mankind’s teeming twillions knows anything of the Aedaris supposed history Of these, most are high-ranking agents within the shadowy ‘Ordo Xenos ofthe Inquisition. Some within thie group are entrusted by AAcklari contacts with tales that daim total ofthe Fall oftheir race yet natural suspicion of Inguisitors leads them to view sich data as disinformation, myth of at best, apocalyptic metaphor. Nevertheless, they ae tals that all ‘Asldar learn end that dierent strands ‘oftheir ace teat variously as cautionary tales of hubris, stores of ultimate betrayal and even accounts ofthe excision of weakacss. The ancient Aeldari empire existed as the mos: advanced and daminant race {nthe gelacy many millions of years ago. Through ther science they ereated worlds and extinguished stars, while the unlimited potential oftheir paychic arts ensured that there was no force that could deny their authority. The technologies at ther fingertips meant the Aeléar could livea life of leisure free from concepts of manual labour, able to pursuc any diversions their powerful emotions and searing intellect could conceive. Using the webway, they travelled between the tars of the galaxy ina heartbeat, delving into esoteric studies and unusual passions ‘The long lifespan ofthe Aelder led many to seek ever more extreme avenues of exploration as they tevted the limits of their own psyches, The thoughts and emotions of thei race can rise to heights: of bliss or plumb dark nadirs of anguish that are unknowa to Mankind. These ‘extremes were reached for by many of an arrogant race that increasingly sow itself as far beyond any boundaries of morality. On many Aeldari worlds, cults of pleasure and pain, dabblers in extravagant technologies and lodges ‘that consorced with narcotics distied from across their pan-gelactic empire sprang up. ‘The Aeldari had spread from the worlds at the heart oftheir civilisation to, not ‘only counteteother planets throughout the galaxy bat abo within the webway ive.

Some of the pleasure cults, among waose devotees ‘were great numbers of the aristocratic aobility of Aeldar society, relocated into ‘hese webway sttements as they came aiador precure to curb their excesses Within these complex hubs, where shadowy trades in people and substances could be carried out secretly, many of ‘them flourished, The greatest ofthe webway’s mighty portcitles was a vast metropolis known as Comamorragh Is unzivalled connections to countless portals, fenured its valve, and grented the city unprecedented autonomy to ensure that no one faction within the empire sould deny its uee to any other. Yet with Jax regulation, Commorragh grew ever larger and hecame a home for every licit and ceprchensible pastime within the empire. The diletante lords and ladies whe headed maay of the pleasure cults grew more powerful and, with both their influence and Commorraghs vast flows of shipping and connections, countless shadowy creeds spread to world after world, The Aeldaris psyche souls fate brightly in the miezor calm of the warp. Powerful emotions in that dimension can take form, and the soaring highs and crushing loves ofthe psyehically sensitive Aeldari began to coalesce. Quiescent ripples of, agony and ecstacy echoed through ime and space, The surging tides of the warp began to ceil in avortex around the constant stream of extreme sensation that flowed from the increasingly depraved society ofthe Aeldari: Around their emotions accreted a nascent anit of excess contentat first to woit and grov, fed on the torrent of intensity pa oath by the Aeldar while its dreams in ten seeped back to them, driving their vile cexaberance to greater depths, THE FALL There were those inthe Aeldari empire, aong the spiralling insanities aad ‘obsessions pecrading their people, who foresaw calamity, Some ofthe frst to act were the Exedlies, who lef the decadent tre of civilisation behind to begin again on wilderness worlds far from the trappings of indulgence and exces, Much later, afer incalculable efforts of. psychic engineering. a movement af ascetic puritans departed on delicate planet-sized ships, bearing huge colonies through che void and into the depths of empty spoce, These were the caftworlds, and among those who fled upon themt were many with the seer sight.
