Editing Craftworld Biel-tan (section)

==Culture==
Biel-Tan's culture is pretty simple and straight forward; the Eldar are the true masters of the galaxy and everything else is beneath them. They instill this mindset in their citizens and encourage an extremely militant lifestyle. This of course leaves little in the way of time or energy to spend on any other cultural pursuits or ambitions compared to other Craftworlds.

Biel-tan's greatest priority is protecting [[Exodite]] worlds, because they believe that the Exodites will be the foundation upon which the new Eldar empire will be built, with their planets used as staging areas for re-colonization and expansion efforts. Iyanden and Biel-tan used to work together on the "rebirth of the Eldar Empire" project, with Iyanden doing the colonizing and Biel-Tan acting as a provisional military force to protect the new colonies. However, Iyanden's refusal to aid Biel-Tan in protecting a Maiden World from [[Imperium|Imperial]] attack (having decided that it would be a waste of time to do so when they could be fighting greater threats like [[Chaos]] instead) led to the alliance's dissolution, as the disagreement led to both craftworlds assuming that the other was not as fully invested in the alliance as they were. Unsurprisingly, Biel-tan is the most populous craftworld (you know, following Iyanden getting eaten by Tyranids). However, despite their focus on keeping their worlds clear of non-eldar life and high population, they rarely if ever express any interest in subsequently ''colonizing'' the otherwise uninhabited maiden worlds they're so desperately protecting.

Biel-tan's claims of military might are true. The forces of Biel-tan were able to beat TWO Imperium sector fleets and TEN [[Space Marine]] chapters in order to get just one Maiden World. (As the saying goes: if six Space Marines fought six different [[Aspect Warrior]]s, the Space Marines would kill all but one, and the last Aspect Warrior would slaughter all the Space Marines.) This contrasts to [[Alaitoc]], which was attacked by a rather small Imperial force (given what they were up against) and the Eldar defenses were basically roflstomped <s>at high cost to</s> by the Imperial Guard, Space Marines and Titan legions. But hey, that's the difference between a Craftworld specializing in mass-producing Aspect Warriors and a Craftworld that's mostly just a bunch of scouts.
