==A Word on the Necron Grudge== Alaitoc used to be known for fighting mostly the [[Imperium]] (which they did very well, very much adding to the Imperal commanders notion that fighting the Eldar is like fighting ghosts), but they became archenemies of the Necrons because [[Games Workshop|GW]] needed an Eldar force that "remembers" being created for that very purpose, and also because everyone and their dog fights the Imperium. Also, common sense says that a whole Craftworld devoted the Imperium isn't that intriguing. The choice was made easier by how spread out Alaitoc's forces are; this means the Imperium being their primary foe was unfeasible. A better choice might have been [[Saim-Hann]] as they keep alive most of the Eldar's ancient traditions and would be more likely than Alaitoc to return to their roots; even their colors, white and red, are a perfect contrast to the black and green most Necrons favor. Alaitoc has had mixed success, at best, in confronting the Necron. One part of this is probably because their preferred leader for fighting the Necron is an absolute loser called [[Eldorath Starbane]] who, like most Farseers, [[Macha|will only win a battle if he has Space Marine allies holding his hand for him.]] But the blame can't all be placed on him; the famed ranger Illic Nightspear, for example, has never managed to do anything more than run away from battles and get captured. How did he escape capture? Well a [[Plot_Armor|Space Marine]] saved him. Beginning to notice a pattern? ===Alladrios Kulcassian=== A possible reason for Alaitoc's newfound [[Necron]] hatred could be the story of the Alaitoc [[Farseer]] Alladrios Kulcassian from the 3rd edition Necron codex. In the story, Alladrios had ordered Craftworld Alaitoc to attack the Imperium's training facility for [[Culexus]] assassins on a rogue planet. He was doing this because a Culexus assassin killed his sister (who was also a Farseer), and the Eldar consider dying at the hands of one to be a horrific fate (as it resulted in complete destruction of the soul vs. being consumed by Slannesh... tough call). Once within striking distance, Alladrios was about to give the order for Alaitoc's forces to destroy it. However, though eager to avenge his sister, Alladrios came down with a case of something rare in 40k: common sense. He read the runes to see the future consequences of the attack-- a wise choice, as every alternate future after the Culexus temple's destruction showed Alaitoc being destroyed by an unidentified enemy (possibly Necrons or the Imperium's forces). Alladrios was torn but swallowed his pride and called off the attack; though he loved his sister dearly, the price of vengeance was too high. As Alaitoc turned and left, the story concluded with a bitter Alladrios deducing that the Necrons and/or the [[C'tan]] put the pariah gene in humanity, likening it to sowing crops, and are preparing to harvest them.
