===Eldar=== With the Emperor still around, and the threat of Chaos considerably smaller than in the OG 40k, the Eldar may go two ways: either they are as uptight as ever, and thus be hunted down in any of their form, or they become some sort of shady on-and-off ally for the Imperium. In the first case, the Emperor knows that Eldar souls are quite powerful and feed chaos when improperly stored, so exterminating them all once and for all and collecting their Soulstones to protect them from destruction (the Eldar do have a weird habit of getting themselves killed) might stop them from feeding Slaanesh, and thus might starve one of the nastiest of the Chaos Gods. Considering the Emperor is still alive and Magnus is still loyal, the Imperium probably has semi-stable access to the Eldar Webway, and enough firepower to threaten Commorragh itself. Then again, the Human Webway is still a project worth consideration, given that Magnus' psychic phonecall never ruined it, so the Emperor may negotiate with the Eldar in exchange for Webway knowledge, as well as to help fight Chaos, Tyranids and many other threats. One of the most important things the Imperium can offer Eldar is safe passage when their people end up cut off from the Webway for one reason or another. Curiously, some Eldar have made mention that something is "wrong" with reality and that "pieces are in the wrong places on the board". Another possibility: The Dark Eldar are far, far fewer in number, and the supposed vileness and danger of Commorragh is mostly a ruse by the Drukhari Archons and their minions. The majority of the realm is just a mishmash of rundown dwellings and strange, barren streets; Commorragh is a ''slum.'' Most of the Eldar dwelling within, though called Dark Eldar for having fallen from the Craftworlds, are not spike-bearing sense freaks. The majority of them are instead sad, despondent space elves passing the time by either wallowing in mutual misery together, unable to go home and distraught at the practical death of their species and their civilization, or indulging in fairly minor pleasures such as smoke, drink and each other's company, many simply trying to push the awareness of the situation out of their brains. The events and troubles of the material plane are largely unknown to most Dark Eldar, as only few of them actually exit the Webway, and those few who do are usually Drukhari pirates and soldiers following the orders of the competing Archons, who are the "true Dark Eldar", being the ''worst'' specimens the Eldar species has left to offer and being more true to the OriginalHammer lore. Occasionally a Dark Eldar group may be approached by the Archons with offers of something worth living for in exchange for their service. Commorragh is actually quite habitable, and some Humans have been captured by the forces of Archons and then just either let loose when they stopped being fun playthings or somehow escaped, likely during a violent fued between Archons. The Humans have then been unable to exit the Webway and have simply ended up sitting around with the Dark Eldar slum-goers. Commorragh is, in essence, a spikier, quieter Underhive.
