===The Homeworld===

As Aenarion expected, an ambush was waiting for him on the capital world's orbit. Dozens of sleek, elegant warships were hovering over its cloud seas pierced with silver spires, ready to turn Aenarion's band of misfits into stardust. The Autarch was prepared for this turn of events, and he understood what needed to be done. Without telling anyone a word, he gathered his most trusted lieutenants equipped with Warp Spider teleportation devices, boarded a small shuttle and left his flagship in an insane bid to slip through the blockade and reach the capital world. Before leaving for his suicide mission, he left a recorded message for the officers under his command, where he said in a mocking tone bursting with vitriol that he had been using them the entire time to reach the home of the Senate and destroy the Eldar democracy. This was, of course, a foul lie, but this lie was intended to save the lives of his followers, should his mission fail.

Aenarion's way to the planet's surface was not unlike a flight through an ever-changing maze with walls of laser beams and deadly plasma clusters. The entire orbital fleet tried to concentrate its fire on the Autarch's shuttle, but they expected to face a sizeable squadron, not a single ship barely larger than a yacht, and in the resulting confusion their efforts failed. Still, the shuttle would be doomed were it not for Aenarion's exceptional piloting skills. Some say he possessed latent seer abilities, allowing him to peer into the near future; others assert that his prowess as a void pilot was the result of gruelling training he subjected himself to. Regardless, Aenarion was the only Eldar capable of safely guiding a spaceship through the ocean of hellfire unleashed by the entire planetary defence force. 

Landing, however, was a whole different story. The Autarch realised that wherever he decided to land, the shuttle would be surrounded by tanks and soldiers in a matter of minutes, so he hatched another insane plan. Instead of landing his ship, he crashed it at full speed in the middle of the colossal square in front of the Senate Spire, while he and his followers used their Warp Spider devices to teleport out of the doomed vessel at the last second. Using the confusion their crazy manoeuvre caused to their advantage, they infiltrated the tower and started their ascent to the great assembly hall. Trying to prevent Aenarion's arrival before the Senate by all means, the traitors threw all of the forces left at their disposal at him. In their desperation, they exploded the stairs and sabotaged the elevators, filled entire floors with toxic gas and tore rifts in the fabric of reality, unleashing hordes of nightmare spawn. But none of these obstacles could slow Aenarion's advance, for his masterful usage of the Warp Spider equipment allowed him to teleport out of harm's way.
