Editing Vaul (section)

==40k Version==
His name seems to be attached to other Eldar terms related to forging and production; for example, [[Mars]] (and possibly other [[Forge World]]s as well) is called "the Vaul-moon" by the Eldar. He's also a copy-pasted version of the real world Greek god Hephaestus/Roman god Vulcan with the serial numbers filed off.

Vaul was a pretty nice guy; not only did he forge the spirit stones that allowed [[Isha]] and [[Kurnous]] to speak with the Eldar after being forcibly separated from them by [[Asuryan]] (and later allowed the Eldar to protect their souls from [[Slaanesh]]), he spoke up for them when they were imprisoned and tortured by [[Khaine]] for doing so. When Khaine demanded one hundred mighty blades in exchange for the two gods' freedom, Vaul agreed right away. When Khaine got angry and started the [[War in Heaven]] because he only got ninety-nine blades by the time the deadline was up, Vaul forged the last one, made it better than the rest, and ''fought the Eldar God of War''.

Unfortunately, like all nice things in the [[Warhammer 40,000]] universe, Vaul was just too good to stick around; he was ultimately defeated by Khaine, who crippled him and chained him to his anvil for his trouble. With Vaul's punishment in place, [[Asuryan]] came in and declared the matter settled.

Like the majority of the Eldar pantheon, Vaul met his end when he got eaten by [[Slaanesh]] during the Fall of the Eldar. That said, some of his creations survive to the 41st Millennium; the spirit stones are the most numerous of these, while the "Talismans of Vaul," otherwise known as the [[Blackstone Fortress|Blackstone Fortresses]], are the most powerful.
