==History== [[File:Ulthwe symbol.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Everyone's favorite pseudo-egyptian crying symbol. (It's called "Wadjet".)]] Ulthwé was one of the last Craftworlds to hightail it out of the Segmentum Obscurus, and as a result is within spitting distance of the [[Eye of Terror]]. In the last ten thousand years, Craftworld Ulthwé has suffered thousands of attacks by the [[daemon]]s of [[Chaos]] and the teaming armies of the ruinous powers, earning its nickname "Ulthwé the Damned"; the Craftworld itself is covered in scars as a result of countless dark crusades. The Craftworld's primary enemy, unsurprisingly, is [[Chaos]], and it has placed a high emphasis on the [[Paths of the Eldar|Path of the Seer]] and training Warlocks, allowing the Seer Council to predict when attacks will come and better prepare Ulthwé for it. As a result of focusing on the Path of the Seer, Craftworld Ulthwé has far fewer [[Aspect Warrior]]s than other Craftworlds. To compensate for this, Craftworld Ulthwé has a standing army of [[Guardian]]s called the Black Guardians, a much more thoroughly trained Professional army ready to respond at a moment's notice. Craftworld Ulthwé has occasionally worked with the [[Imperium of Man]] to better fight the forces of Chaos, but this relationship, like all Imperial-Xenos relationships, is an alliance of convenience and usually breaks down within moments of achieving either sides objective. This stems from failed first contact with the Imperium, when Eldrad attempted to warn the Imperium about [[Horus|Horus Lupercal]]'s fall to Chaos, but instead of warning the [[God-Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]] himself gave his message to the [[Primarch]] [[Fulgrim]], who was already in the throes of Slaaneshi corruption thanks to the daemonic sword he kept after the Cleansing of Laer. It resulted in a firefight and left several Eldar not just dead but lost to Slaanesh (You would think that he would have been able to foresee that, but apparently not; it's not as if the powers of Chaos could mess with his foresight... the Dark Prince was directly hiding Fulgrims true fate thread, it was only when standing directly in front of the Primarch that Eldrad was able see the gods interference), along with the numerous atrocities heaped upon their race, both during the time of the Great Crusade and in the next 10,000 years by the forces of the Imperium has left a very sour taste. The Craftworld has been responsible for things like the Second War of [[Armageddon]], as it was Eldrad who diverted [[WAAAGH]] [[Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka|Ghazghkull]] to Armageddon, instead of towards a isolated Craftworld; so their not blameless here either. Craftworld Ulthwé also has a secret alliance with House Belisarius, a [[Navigator]] house with exclusive rights to fly to the starships of the [[Space Wolves]]. In M31, Craftworld Ulthwé saved the fortunes of House Belisarius, which began an arrangement where Belisarius gave Craftworld Ulthwé seven coins to call upon the debt. If an Eldar of Craftworld Ulthwé gives a Navigator of Belisarius one of the coins, the Navigator immediately drops whatever they're doing and helps the Eldar, taking the coin and paying back the debt. So far, this has happened five times in past ten thousand years. Naturally, House Belisarius makes an effort to keep the Space Wolves unaware of this agreement. They also have a working relationship with elements of the inquisition, and human agents throughout the Imperium, including Terra itself. Once trapped in orbit around the Eye of Terror, Ulthwé now finds itself able to travel across the galaxy. This would normally be monumental moment for Ulthwé, being able to travel outside the orbit of the Eye of Terror for the first time since the Fall of the Eldar but seeing as the same incident also let Chaos run rampant across the galaxy... let’s just say that Chaos may have gotten that better deal here. The Ynnari have royally screwed up the social order of the Craftworld, with many leaving to join their number, and with the Exile of Eldrad (He and Ahriman should really team up, both tried to make thing better with a ritual but ended up getting exiled for it. The two could end up being bros for life) many more have chosen to follow him instead.
