Editing Out of the Dark (section)

== Premise ==
The [[Men of Iron]] rebellion was not accidental. Turns out, one Eldar Farseer had foreseen the future. She saw the arrival of Slaanesh. And she saw what paths might lead away:

* First path. Humanity grows aware of the coming threat. It decides to take measures; read, a massive attack on the Eldar Empire. The pointy ears, decadent in their perversions, lose and are exterminated except for some quarantinned Exodites. Slaanesh, lacking the souls, dies before birth.

Win for humanity, win for the galaxy.

The Farseer didn't like the idea. She saw another path:

* Second path. Start the Iron Wars. Robots go full Necron (Old Necron), kill all humans (with backups to restore once done) and go to fight the Eldar to stop Slaanesh. The Eldar win, realize from the costs that the current lifestyle makes them vulnerable, cut down on the decadence. Slaanesh dies.

Win for the Eldar, win for the galaxy.

The Eldar decided to implement the path. Of course, she slightly underestimated Humanity. The Iron War was won, if narrowly, and so we have our infamous, nobody wins Grimdark galaxy.
