Asuryani - Notable Events: The once-glorious history of the Aeldari is preserved only in myth; most of the truths of ages past have long been lost. In the millennia since the Fall, the Craftworld Aeldari have been locked in an endless struggle to survive, and they have no choice but to fight with every weapon at their disposal.An Empire Ascendant (ca. M15 - M20) - The Aeldari Empire reaches its zenith in terms of territory acquired and cultural and technological achievement. The Eldar of this age refer to themselves by their original species name of "Aeldari."Darkness Rising (ca. M18 - M30) - Throughout the Aeldari civilisation, a profound degradation in moral discipline sets in. Over the Terran millennia, there is a gradual slide into sensual excess. With the rise of the Cults of Pleasure, the worship of the Aeldari gods declines. Slowly, the foundations of the once-great empire start to crumble. As the Aeldari's quest for excess crosses the line into outright evil, a perverse new god begins to form in the Warp.The Hidden Kin (ca. M18 - M20) - The Aeldari Cults of Pleasure slowly take over the lawless port-cities of the Webway. Many of the leaders of the Aeldari Empire are among them. The largest and most influential, Commorragh, becomes synonymous with vice. The forefathers of the Drukhari are born.A Sickness of the Spirit (ca. M18 - M29) - The sheer luxury and indolence of the technologically advanced Aeldari Empire breeds a combination of curiosity and complacency amongst the Aeldari.The Great Exodus (ca. M30 - M31) - Those Aeldari able to see the rotten core of their empire for what it truly is flee. First to leave are the Exodites, followed not long after by the Craftworld Aeldari.Fall of the Aeldari (ca. M30 - M31) - The core of the Aeldari Empire is consumed by the cataclysmic birth-screams of the Chaos God Slaanesh. Trillions of sentient beings die as the centre of the empire -- over a thousand worlds -- collapses into the Immaterium, leaving the Eye of Terror and the Crone Worlds in its place. The unified Aeldari civilisation shatters, and the psychic backlash of Slaanesh's ascendance curses the immortal souls of all those Aeldari who survive to be subject to consumption by the Dark God upon death. The survivors of the Fall, regardless of faction, begin to refer to themselves as "Eldar" to mark the loss of their past. The Aeldari species' long battle against extinction begins.The Rise of Humanity (ca. M30 - M31) - The Warp Storms isolating the Human homeworld of Terra are swept away by the violence of Slaanesh's birth and the Emperor of Mankind unites Humanity in conquest during the Great Crusade under the aegis of the newborn Imperium of Man. Their stranglehold on space travel broken, the Aeldari are powerless to stop it.The Pride of the Phoenix (ca. M31) - Farseer Eldrad Ulthran of Craftworld Ulthwé contrives a parley with Fulgrim, the primarch of the Emperor's Children Legion, to warn him of the tendrils of Chaos already corrupting the Legiones Astartes. Tragically, the Asuryani's warnings fall upon deaf ears. They remain largely uninvolved in the great slaughter of the Horus Heresy that ensues.The Shattering of Lugganath (764.M34) - The Emperor's Children Traitor Legion ravages Craftworld Lugganath in Slaanesh's name, killing thousands of Eldar before the hedonistic Chaos Space Marines are repelled.The Ghoul Star Supernova (818.M35)The Ghostly Harvest (334.M36) - Twelve Alaitoc Wraithknights plunder Waystones from the ruins of Belial IV. The cavorting daemon hosts of the Crone World in the Eye of Terror attack in force, but the Eldar are able to forge a path back to their Webway portal and escape unharmed.War in the Webway (514.M38) - The Craftworld Eldar of Ulthwé and the Dark Eldar Jade Knife Kabal of Commorragh battle for dominance within the shattered spars of the Webway. An uneasy truce is called only when the death toll becomes unbearable for both sides.A Cruel Thirst (487-492.M39)The Sons of Khaine (741.M41) - A conclave of Autarchs decide the "lesser races" of the galaxy must be shown their place, leading to a great surge of Eldar taking the Path of the Warrior.The Coming of the Great Devourer (745.M41) - The Seers of the Eldar lament as the true magnitude of the encroaching Tyranid Hive Fleets becomes horribly clear.Maedrax Stirs (783.M41) - Eldrad Ulthran brings about the destruction of the Necron Tomb World of Maedrax before Imperial Explorators awaken it fully. In doing so, the Eldar uncover a vast Necron Dynasty that spans the star system.The Death of Gnosis Prime (786.M41) - Autarch Zephyrblade's warhost sweeps down upon the Imperial world of Gnosis Prime, outmanoeuvring its lumbering human armies at every turn. In alliance with Dark Eldar raiders, the Autarch sees the world brought to the brink of destruction.The Hounds of Khorne (794.M41) - Caelec the Wanderer, a famed Eldar explorer, breaches a sealed runic portal, only to find it leads to Khorne's realm. A warband of hound-headed fiends, Flesh Hounds, slays Caelec and follows his scent to his home Craftworld of Yme-Loc, causing utter carnage before it is finally banished to the ether.Fist of the Machine God (801.M41) - When Craftworld Yme-Loc refuses to yield its technological secrets to an Adeptus Mechanicus war fleet, battle breaks out within the armouries of Vaul. Millions die before the Tech-priests seize enough advanced Eldar technology to sate their predatory curiosity for forbidden xenostech.The Doom of Malan'tai (812.M41) - The Craftworld Malan'tai was destroyed by a splinter of the Tyranid Hive Fleet Naga and was the location of the first known encounter with the potent Tyranid Zoanthrope later called the "Doom of Malan'tai" by the Eldar. The derelict Craftworld became nothing more than a drifting, lifeless husk floating through the void. In 994.M41, Craftworld Iyanden came to Malan'tai to see if its people could find anything of use to help with repairs of their home after their recent battle with Hive Fleet Kraken, but instead, they found the abandoned Craftworld swarming with vile Orks. When the Eldar finally regained control of Malan'tai, they discovered that the Orks had stolen or destroyed anything of use. With heavy hearts, they altered the abandoned Craftworld's course towards the nearest sun and headed home.The Twin Betrayals (845.M41)The Perfect War (891.M41) - Upon the sludge-planet of Yurk, an army of Orks is engaged and destroyed by Craftworld Iyanden without Eldar loss. The pinpoint precision of the Eldar assault prevents the Yurkoid WAAAGH! and saves a virgin Eldar colony from destruction.Scorpion's Sting (928.M41) - Karandras duels his predecessor as Phoenix Lord of the Striking Scorpions Aspect Warriors, Arhra, the Father of Scorpions, in the ruins of the lost Craftworld of Zandros.Roar of the Beast (941.M41) - Whilst preventing a WAAAGH! that would have strayed into the path of Craftworld Idharae, Eldrad Ulthran of Ulthwé raises the Ork Warlord Ghazghkull Thraka to prominence, capsizing a huge swathe of the Imperium in the process.Time of Ending (991.M41) - The Eldar mystic Kysaduras the Anchorite proclaims the End Times to have begun. After lengthy meditation alongside Eldrad Ulthran of Ulthwé, he preaches to the High Seers of that Craftworld that the Eldar's only hope of survival lies with the awakening of Ynnead, the nascent Eldar God of the Dead.The Doom of Iyanden (992.M41) - Craftworld Iyanden is locked in a death-struggle against Hive Fleet Kraken. As the Craftworld teeters on the brink, the infamous Eldar Corsair Prince Yriel rallies the desperate defenders and slays the monstrous Hive Tyrant leading the invasion, saving his people.Sanctity Breached (998.M41) - At great cost, the Eldar defend the sacred Black Library in the Webway from the Chaos Sorcerer Ahriman of the Thousand Sons Traitor Legion who seeks to claim its vast knowledge of Chaos for himself.The Bio-Purge (778.999.M41) - Using the Dark Eldar device known as the Fireheart that was capable of destroying the core of a planet, Craftworlds Biel-Tan and Iyanden unite in an uneasy alliance with their dark kin of Commorragh in the incineration of Dûriel and dozens of Imperial and Ork-held worlds within the Octarius System. In doing so, they deny Hive Fleet Leviathan precious biomass and bring about the destruction of one of its tendrils.Chaos Ascendant (999.M41) - Abaddon the Despoiler, the Warmaster of Chaos, launches the greatest invasion of realspace ever seen, his 13th Black Crusade. Ulthwé has waited long for this moment, and leads the Craftworlds to war.

The death toll rises ever higher, with no end in sight.Rise of the Phoenix (999.M41) - The Eldar Phoenix Lords gather together for the first time in millennia.The Awakening of Ynnead (999.M41) - Ynnead, the Eldar God of the Dead, awakens within the Warp due to the actions of the Farseer Eldrad Ulthran on the crystal moon of Coheria at the Battle of Port Demesnus and chooses Yvraine, the Daughter of Shades, a child of both the Craftworlds and Commorragh, as his priestess and prophet. She founds a new Eldar faction, the Ynnari, the "Reborn," and for the first time since the Fall unites members of all the Eldar cultures under one banner. She calls on the Eldar to revive the legacy of the Aeldari and even to readopt the ancient name of the race for their own. For the first time in 10,000 Terran years, the Eldar dare to hope that the future offers more than extinction...
