===The Alliance Shatters=== Of course, the Eldar weren't completely blind to the grim events that transpired in the realm of their eternal allies. As the scale and brutality of slavery in the Slaugth domain grew, so did the disgust of the Eldar officials who witnessed these events. Some hot-headed generals, traumatised by the horrors they had seen in the Slaugth space, proposed to break the treaty of eternal friendship, arguing that the Eldar cannot be allied to a race so utterly evil. Yet their voices were silenced by the members of the upper echelons of the Eldar hierarchy. Some of them still remembered fighting back to back with the Slaugth during the War in Heavens and couldn't bring themselves to break the bonds of camaraderie that tied the two races. While they were deeply concerned by the dramatic transformation their friends and allies underwent, they hoped to convince the Slaugth to abolish slavery and return to the old ways. Unfortunately, their hopes were in vain. Constant criticisms of slavery coming from their Eldar allies annoyed the Slaugth elites to no end. By this point, slavery became the cornerstone of their society, which would surely collapse overnight if the slaves were to be freed. The rulers of the worm people began to wonder whether they really needed allies who considered themselves in the position to teach the designated heirs of the Old Ones how to run their empire. And the conclusion they reached was that they needed no allies at all - only subjects. A realisation dawned on the Slaugth elites: the Eldars were in practise just another race originally created by the Old Ones to serve them, and were essentially no different from any of the savage races toiling in the countless mines of their glorious empire. The only reason the pointy eared monkeys managed to forge a realm that rivalled that of their own was because they fooled their naive ancestors and used their help to seize what rightfully belonged to the Slaugth. But it was about time to rectify this ancient mistake and put the uppity savages in place - that is, in chains. And so the Slaugth principals began working on a secret plan to destroy the Eldar empire and enslave their race. They started by infiltrating all levels of the Eldar society. This wasn't particularly challenging, as they were still more than welcome in the Eldar empire, the common citizens of which viewed them as their greatest ally and a brotherly race. Subtly using their mind control powers to incept certain thoughts and emotions into the minds of the high-ranking Eldar, they were slowly building a network of sympathisers and assuming control over the rival empire. It wasn't too long before the majority in the Eldar senate belonged to the Slaugth sympathisers and spies. They started a massive demilitarisation campaign, arguing that the Eldar didn't need a big army since their Slaugth allies were always ready to protect them from any threat. Pro-Slaugth propaganda flooded the media, and any compromising information on the eternal ally was brutally censored. As the Eldar fleets withdrew from the border worlds, no longer included in the dramatically shrunken military budget, the Slaugth took their place, covertly beginning to colonise the fringe worlds of their allies. Worse still, they started to enslave the Eldar living in the border worlds. The friends of the Slaugth in high places carefully monitored this silent invasion, making sure that no witness to these events escapes alive. But nothing can stay a secret forever.
