**Kaev-Lianach** is an Aeldari Craftworld that held the reputation as great artisans and record keepers in ancient times, it was thought extinct by their kin as the world-Ship was on the very distant edge of Slaanesh's psychic birth scream which trapped the Craftworld; this forced Kaev-Lianach to drift around the Eye for many generations, this close escape enraged Slaanesh and caused the Craftworld to be the target to the follower's of Slaanesh. Ever since they have stayed in Segmentum Pacificus however in recent reports the warriors of Kaev-Lianach have been reported to be in multiple warzones all over the Galaxy including them fighting alongside the Ynnari.

It is said that the people of Kaev-Lianach hold past glories of the Aeldari Empire in such respect that they eternally search for anything of Ancient Aeldari culture to help the Asuryani remember who they once were. The people of the craftworld are in particular search for a relic called the Anvil of Vaul which they believe could create a haven for the Aeldari.

### Background

#### The Fall

"*During our evacuation had we stayed for one extra day, this entire Craftworld would've been swallowed by She-Who-Thirsts.*"
— Kelmadhrwal Maeilealann, Doomseer of the Wraithbone Helix
The craftworld was late in its evacuation from the Aeldari Empire they weren't the last to leave but were delayed numerous times, as they were on route to leave the Aeldari Core Realm they received a distress call from one of Eldar homeworlds by the name of Alyss-Lheignn, the Aeldari of this planet attempted to create their own world-ship but it was sabotaged and assaulted by the hedonistic cults; the few uncorrupted citizens were under attack and sent out a distress call to which Kaev-Lianach heeded. The people of Kaev-Lianach responded by battling their blood-thirsty kin and shepherding the uncorrupted citizens and anything deemed important to shuttles. Because of this delay the craftworld barely managed to escape the Birth Scream of Slaanesh.

When Slaanesh was born Kaev-Lianach was far enough away that they weren't consumed by the Newborn God however, they were close enough that it forced the vessel to coast near the Eye of Terror for generations. Because Kaev-Lianach was near the Eye of Terror for so long the inhabitants had to fend off numerous assaults against the forces of chaos as the souls of Eldar was such a delictable opportunity that they could not pass up, overtime the Eldar placed an importance on war equal to artistry. Slaanesh, was said to be enraged at this close escape and that to this day the people of Kaev-Lianach can hear faint echoes of the God-Scream when they dream and Warp-Storms are near.

### Notable Events

#### Defense of Kaev-Lianach (931. M34):

While trapped to coast around the Eye of Terror the craftworld was targeted by a large Emperor's Children warband led by the Slaanesh Champion known as the "Pristine Serpentine". However, the first wave of enemy combatants weren't followers of Slaanesh but the Warriors of Khorne tricked into thinking the world-ship was undefended by The Serpentine. While the First wave was slaughtered the true force managed to breach the craftworld. The craftworld was flooded by uncountable tides of mortals, astartes and daemons led by the Pristine Serpentine and his Keeper of Secrets Patron called the "Sin-Weaver"; In desperation the Warrior Hero Kelmir Aegallyan led a valiant but desperate attack with his Tempest Kin against the Greater Daemon cutting a bloody path, the Tempest Kin was slain to the man but Kelmir was able to cut down the Greater Daemon, his spear piercing its heart but Kelmir was impaled, his eyes locked with the Daemon with unquenchable rage. Kelmir's attack allowed the surviving Aeldari forces to fall back, regroup and reinforce. After many weeks of fighting the Serpentine's Forces unceremoniously withdrew. It wasn't until after the battle that the Inhabitants realized the Serpentine's goal, the Slaanesh Forces managed to drag away the Doomseer Kelmadhrwal Maeilealann.

#### The Discovery of the Shraennar Void Garden (178.M37):

When the craftworld broke free from their drift they stayed in the Galactic West searching for some hope, that search was rewarded when they found the Void Garden of Shraennar, it wasn't a maiden world or even a craftworld but a void station abundant in flora and fauna being continuously cultivated by the few hundred families that call it home. This caused much celebration between the two groups and formed a long-standing alliance with a strong kinship between the two that many aeldari on both sides see the other as a second home and people.

#### Defense of the Void Garden (800.M40):

Over the years the Void Garden thrived and information about it slowly becoming know in a few circles among the Eldar, that made it a target ripe for plunder to some within Commoragh. The Kabal of Emaciated Hope sought to drink their fill of slaughter and slavery and so attacked the station, destroying the meager defenses and setting fire to the land. The skies darkened with Drukhari raiding yachts and jet bikes. the invaders drove deeper and deeper into the garden slaughtering or enslaving all they found; the flowers being watered with blood, the militia forces did all they could to try and halt the attackers but they were out gunned and out maneuvered. Salvation came to the inhabitants when forces of Kaev-Lianach stormed through the webway gate, the Craftworld sent the Warhosts to slaughter the invaders. Farseer Ecoahyash sought to cut off the Drukhari from their means of escape. Over the days of battle Wyches clashed blades with Howling Banshees and Dire Avengers exchanged shuriken fire with Kabalites. Even Harlequins joined in assistance of Kaev-Lianach their acrobatics cutting down the intruders. The Craftworld's fleet managed to disable and board the Drukhari vessels freeing the eldar captives The captured eldar were released and were sent to rebuild the void garden.

#### +++ Ordo Xenos Investigation of Aeldari attacks in the Erepastus system+++

Inquistor Hetten has returned from his investigations of the Erepastus System, his reports state confirmation that the Erepastus System was under attack from the Craftworld Kaev-Lianach Kill-teams. At first the attacks were small and random; a Manufactorum overseer or a Dock Laborer, over the course of a year the amount of killings gave rise to a local superstitious belief of green creature who preyed on Sinners. This belief soon went from local superstition to Widespread belief across the entire planet as the killings intensified Examples of the mass killings include entire mining groups, brothels, guild halls and even Arbites precincts were all cut down in the following nights. This caused cults of fanatics to emerge and wander the street killing all who didn't meet their expectations of Emperor Worship.
