Part of his job was to settle disputes among the gods without upsetting anyone too much, a job that he failed so hard at that he makes Failbaddon look good. Thus, when [[Khaine]] started butchering the [[Eldar]] because he heard from Asuryan's granddaughter (and the entire Eldar race's sister), [[Lileath]], that they would kill him one day, and [[Isha]] and [[Kurnous]] raised a fuss because he was massacring ''their children'', Asuryan decided that the realms of the gods and mortals would be separated -- that way, none of them could kill each other. This may sound like Khaine got off scot free (which he did), but think about it from the Eldar Gods’ perspective. To them, the dead Eldar either reincarnated as space Orangutan or (maybe after dying as one) showed up with the gods in Eldar afterlife to live happily ever after. From that perspective, the Eldar being killed doesn't seem like a big deal to cause a fuss about. Oh no, your children are dead which means now they must live in perfect paradise for all eternity. How terrible.

Isha and Kurnous weren't happy to be separated from their children, so with Vaul's help, they found a way to communicate with the Eldar, but when Khaine learned about this, he went whining to Asuryan about it.

Asuryan decided, in his infinite wisdom (and even more infinite laziness), that maintaining the separation between the gods and mortals meant keeping them ''totally'' separated, and that handing Isha and Kurnous over to Khaine was a reasonable punishment (Khaine certainly thought so -- though he could not kill his fellow gods, he could certainly torture them). [[Vaul]] managed to bargain with Khaine for their freedom: one hundred mighty blades delivered within a year. Unfortunately, he only had ninety-nine blades ready when the year was up, so he slipped in a mortal's blade for the last one. Vaul, Kurnous, and Isha had to run for it before Khaine figured out he had been tricked.

This lead to Khaine throwing a massive bitch fit and starting the [[War in Heaven#Eldar Mythology|War in Heaven]]. While the entire Eldar pantheon picked sides, Asuryan's contract stated that [[Stupid Neutral|he wasn't allowed to pick a side]] and had to sit stoically and watch his family try to kill one another while trying to give a few fucks as possible. In the end, Vaul finished his last and bestest sword and took it up against Khaine. Despite having the materiel advantage, Vaul was still a pussy while Khaine [[That Guy|was the guy]] who brags about eating Necrons for pre-workout. Khaine won easily, crippled Vaul and chained him to his anvil. Asuryan swooped in and declared that the entire disagreement had been settled.

Then fuck all happened for a long time, and the Eldar got bored and threw increasingly psychotic orgies. In the end, Asuryan was eaten along with most of the other Eldar gods when [[Slaanesh]] was born from the Fall of the Eldar. Despite this, his legacy lives on with the Eldar, particularly in name as part of the title for the [[Phoenix Lord]]s: the ''Asurya''. Then, ''The Gathering Storm'' expanded on this a little bit, stating that his last act was to gift his ability to see far into the future, a final gift to the Eldar, who had grown so short sighted; this can be taken literally, or can be seen in a more poetic way; his final gift to the Eldar was the emergence of the Seers (as we know them today), who would be instrumental in leading those who had fled the corruption at the heart of the core worlds (such far seeing individuals started to pop up even before the final fall, warning those who would listen to the growing danger). This gift may be a good thing, because the Eldar are few in number [[Grimdark|while many races in the galaxy try to butcher them]]; or maybe not, because [[Isha|Eldar reproduction is]] [[Grimdark|even slower, so their numbers may still be declining]]. In the end since it was Asuryan, and the Eldar, it was probably a bad idea either way as everything they touch tends to turn to fail.
