Kaelor - Age of Anguish: The Asuryani of Kaelor have preserved a number of stories relating to the lamentable event known as the Fall of the Aeldari, although the craftworld's history is punctuated with periods in which memory of this most formative and cataclysmic event appears to have been lost. Consider in particular the craftworld's so-called "Age of Anguish," during which a number of the practices designed to protect the Asuryani from their own natures as well as from the Great Enemy were either abandoned or questioned.Amongst some of the Knavir Aeldari of the craftworld, the term given to those Kaelorians who were alive at the time of the Fall, there appears to remain some skepticism about the historical legitimacy of the various stories of the Fall. On this issue, it might be lamentable that Kaelor has had such scarce contact with the Harlequins throughout its long, isolated history. According to the most common versions of the stories, typically those told by the Rune-singers of the craftworld's noble great houses, the Fall occurred dozens of eons into the ancient period, before the coming of the legendary Kaelorian figure known as Gwrih the Radiant. It happened at a time when the ancient Aeldari civilisation had reached its zenith, when its empire spanned the vastness of the galaxy. Its confidence -- and its arrogance -- knew no bounds.It was at this time that the tendency of the Aeldari soul towards extremes of emotion and intellect finally gave rise to the great cataclysm that was the Fall. Feeding on their unrestrained hedonism and fuelled by the exotic pleasure cults that flourished throughout the breathtaking Aeldari Empire, the great Daemonic form of Slaanesh was birthed into the mire of Sha'iel. Hence, according to this story, the Great Enemy is the unholy child of the children of the goddess Isha, produced by the uncontrolled nature of the Aeldari themselves.As hysterical and insane indulgence gripped the Aeldari, causing their civilisation to collapse under its own decadence and orgiastic violence, those who retained their senses and moral balance fled. At the same time, the Great Enemy worked its magic in the Warp, tearing the fabric of the Materium and producing immense maelstroms of Sha'iel (the psychic energy of the Warp) that started to consume the Aeldari Empire.Some -- known as the Exodine Knovah (the "Exodite Knights") -- led populations to new, virgin planets in the furthest reaches of the known galaxy, seeking to hide their souls from the thirsting clutches of Slaanesh. Others fled to the stars aboard massive craftworlds -- huge, self-contained, space-faring bio-systems like Kaelor. Those who remained behind were no longer recognisable as the children of Asuryan.It was on these craftworlds that the Asuryani Path (Ihnyoh in the Kaelorian Lexicon) was developed as a way of protecting the souls of the Craftworld Aeldari, now calling themselves Asuryani or "Eldar" to outsiders, from the temptations of their own extreme natures and hence as a way of keeping them from the clutches of Slaanesh, who constantly thirsts and quests after the slightest flicker of the extremist souls of those who first gave "She Who Thirsts" birth.
