Eldar

The Eldar (Aeldari) are an ancient xenos race that intervened selectively in the Heresy according to their prophecies. The Saim-Hann eldar freed the loyalist tech-priests of Stygies VIII so that the forge would not fall to Horus; at Iydris the Eldar were linked with the Crone World of Fulgrim’s ascension. The Ulthwé Harlequins performed the “Dance of the End and the Death”, foretelling the fifth god. A neutral power pursuing the survival of its species.
