Editing Resurgent Eldar Empire (section)

===Early M42===
* Jhainen Khaine-Handed, a hero thought killed in a controlled distort detonation, emerges from the Warp, initially believing herself gone for merely a year. She immediately sets out in her Hemlock fighter, pursuing some unknown cause.
* Forces of the Extropian Collective are reported to be preying upon isolated worlds at the very edge of the Empire. Gathering a hundred Corsair Fleets, Prince Yriel hunts these vultures back to their own territories. He is joined by the forces of Duke Sliscus, and the two persecute a bloody campaign of revenge and/or enjoyment against the Collective's outer territories, withdrawing only when they are certain that the Extropians will reconsider their aggression.
* As prior visions of doom begin to crystallize into a definite form, twin Farseers Sgathaich and Aoifea deliver a message to Commorragh through their Corsair intermediaries
* Catastrophe strikes in the form of a Dark Crusade. The Forces of Chaos rampage through Segmentum Tempestus, the Crusader States amassing their full force to counter the wave of death. In the midst of the Crusade, forces belonging to the Silver Spears besiege the western worlds of the Empire. As the Dark Crusade is gradually driven back across the upper Tempestus, more and more Chaos Marines join their brothers in the assault. 
* Intent on carving through the Empire and securing further tracts of the Segmentum, the Undying Scions launch another attack from the galactic east. The Empire is caught between two vying forces, both intent on grinding it to dust and fighting for supremacy atop its ashes. Only minimal forces can be redirected from the galactic west, but Wraithseer Muirthrandil spearheads the counter-offensive, sensing the hand of his old foe Idrias.
* While the warhosts mobilized to the west begin to push back the forces of Chaos, the Undying Scions tear through the satellite Corsair states in the east, the defense steadily losing ground. When it seems that the Scions will soon breach the Blackstone Array and penetrate deep into the heartlands of the Empire, the Eldar forces dig in, determined to hold the line, choosing to lay down their lives to grant their comrades in the west even a tiny morsel of time. Determined to inflict as much damage as possible upon the Scions, they take the conflict to new heights of brutality.
* On the world of Ikarius II (Rhondgromryn to the Eldar), Muirthandil and Idrias meet once again, but again, their feud is interrupted. Stirred by Sgathaich and Aoifea's promise that Sarco Funerus would be present, a full compliment of Negators descend upon the world, the Giantslayer himself at their fore. A maelstrom of blood and carnage envelops the planet. 
* Eventually realizing that he has been tricked, Aodhán explodes into a furious rage, distraught at Sarco's absence, howling for his brother. His Legions rampage across the sector, battling Eldar and Astartes alike, until a tenuous alliance sees Idrias and Muirthrandil leading a vast host of venerable giants against the Warp-touched Primarch. Eventually overcome, a sullen Aodhán withdraws to his flagship, the ''Answerer'', departing the sector. In a fit of spite, he tracks down Sgathaich and Aoifea in their personal vessel and returns to the Webway with them in tow, claiming them as payment for his services.
* Both sides still licking their wounds, the Scions and Muirthrandil's forces retreat, leaving a decimated system in their wake. The Eldar still in fighting shape move to reinforce their comrades in the west.
* Against the flood of Chaos Legions there is little that can be done, it seeming an almost foregone conclusion that the Eldar will have to sterilize many worlds in the outer regions of their empire, denying their enemies significant gains and starving them of resources
* The first battles of this campaign are successful, Corsair fleets working to pull apart the Chaos-worshippers’ supply lines while the steadily retreating Imperial hosts annihilate the worlds behind them. The invaders are slower to feel the effects of this tactic than expected, however, and many Autarchs become fearful that they will have to sterilize vast swathes of the Empire in order to starve their enemies out.
* Sensing defeat, Prince Yriel gathers several Corsair fleets for a bloody, last-ditch effort to strike at the very heart of the Silver Spears forces, a Keeper of Secrets known as Heartslayer. Against all odds, the campaign is successful, and Yriel himself strikes the ancient daemon down, though the Spear of Twilight drains him of all life in the process. With their greatest anchor in the physical realm destroyed, many of the daemons marching alongside their mortal allies gradually fade out of realspace, and the Eldar begin to establish a permanent bulwark against the invaders.
* In an event unprecedented, the Spear of Twilight sees fit to return the very last spark of Prince Yriel’s life to him. Awe of his feats spreads throughout the Empire, and the Council of Iyanden sees fit to present him with the Armour of Eldanesh, its plating stained crimson with the blood of the ancient hero. The armour accepts him, and, with its strength fueling his tattered body, Yriel returns to the fray.
* The forces of Chaos are finally ousted, pressure from both the resurgent Eldar and the Crusader States pushing them far from the Empire's borders. 
* Prince Yriel returns to a hero's welcome upon Iyanden. Granted the position of supreme commander of Iyanden’s fleet, many Eldar begin to refer to him as the Phoenix King, whispering that he is Eldanesh reborn. Unprecedented numbers of Corsair Princes pledge themselves to his service, and several minor Craftworlds set course for the Empire.
* Somewhere in the Webway, Eldrad Ulthran keks heartily.
