A Brief Overview of the Eldar:

Ever since the beginning of time the Eldar have roamed the Galaxies.
They are an enigmatic race, far more evolved than any in the Universe. Now they are caught in a desperate struggle against extinction and their race carefully cultivates its existence by picking strategic battles and maneuvering past altercations, and often insinuating them, purely for the selfish pursuit of their own survival.

The Eldar are much more psionically advanced than perhaps any other race in the Universe. They use the mysterious Warp (A different plane of reality) for mass communication and travel, using a vast connecting system in which they call the Infinity Circuit.

The Eldar have had knowledge of Warp Technology long before most known races, and it has been rumored that once when they were at the apex of their evolutionary chain, their mastery of the Warp too destroyed their true original Homeworlds, and in effect created the Chaos God Slannesh which in his mighty birth created the ?Eye of Terror,? a large black hole where there ?Hell? was supposedly to house the Demons of their destruction.

Most of the Eldar Homeworlds were quickly devoured by the Eye of Terror and the Eldar that were out of reach of this catastrophe; in their keen psychic ability, learned of this and escaped before they too were consumed by the Eye.

The few that did escape left their homes in mighty medium-sized Planet-like vessels called Craftworlds, which they still wander aimlessly throughout the Universe. What?s left of the Eldar race live on exodite worlds, or exist solely in these Craftworlds alone. They are said to sustain millions of Eldar in one vessel for Centuries.

The Asha-An Craftworld

A representation of the Asha-An Craftworld:



The Eldar of the Asha-An Craftworld Conglomerate were once members of many different Craftworlds before they received their calling. The Calling is what these chosen Eldar call a psychic summons given out by the spirit of one of the Eldar Gods who had fallen in the war against Slannesh, the Goddess Isha.
The Calling comes to an Eldar when they have found the Eldar path that puts them most at peace with the Universe, allowing the remains of Isha to map out the course for that person and their family for generations, with ten times the accuracy of any Farseer.

These chosen Eldar must, by any means, quest to the hidden planet Fenyr-Galdeisha, a desert world in the most wayward part of the Segmentus Obscurus System, created by the Goddess Isha during the fall of the great Eldar Race.

The New Homeworld Of the Asha-An Craftworld: Fenyr-Galdeisha

Fenyr-Galdeisha is far from being a paradise. It is a desert world filled with Wraithbone temples and a solid molten Wraithbone core. The Eldar who live there are known to worship the sun and moon in tribute to the bounty of Isha.
The planet is thought to have been created by the Goddess as a final sanctuary in the dark times after the fall and the place from which to launch an Eldar resurgence. The actual planet is constantly orbited by three Craft-moons, able to evacuate the planet or deploy its military forces anywhere in the Galaxy System.
Those Eldar who have been chosen by Isha are prophesized to lead the Eldar race to prominence once more. With most of the Eldar outcasts accounted for and formed into a powerful military force, the fate of the Eldar race looks much less grim in the dark Universe everyone lives in today.

The Eldar of Asha-An in Battle

The people of Asha-An have lived most of their lives in the desert, learning to love the sand and harsh sun that most peoples despise. Their tactics in battle are like the sands, swiftly changing and harsh to an enemy. Their forces make uses of speed and power in usual Eldar fashion, using a diversity of troops to work together in destroying all enemies.
