Editing Warhammer: Age of Sigmar (section)

====[[Idoneth Deepkin]]====
A new take on the Sea Elves from the early editions of Fantasy, sometimes nicknamed "Teclis' Sea-Monkeys". Teclis's attempt to reconstitute the Elves from [[Warhammer Fantasy|The-World-That-Was]] resulted in them going horribly wrong because they kept having PTSD-style flashbacks to their time with Slaanesh. Many of them were also bald, blind or both. Many of them [[Grimdark|even have souls that are slowly losing their strength and thus have extremely short lives. The only way to fix this is harvest the souls of others <s>Dark Eldar</s> Drukhari style]]. Teclis tried to find out what was wrong with the aelves, but they resisted his attempts to investigate, and he eventually declared them a mistake. They fled, and when he decided to start killing them off the aleves renamed themselves Idoneth Deepkin and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twVvnr7bOw4| decided to start a new life under the sea] (unaware that Tyrion talked Teclis out of killing them off). They move around using Whirlways, Realmgates that are underwater.

So between their dark attire, hunger for souls to replenish their own and living in a remote location with interdimensional travel, they're like the [[Dark Eldar]] but with the torture fetishes replaced with an oceanic motif and they aren't a society of sociopaths. They also mostly regret that some of them have to harvest souls to survive and aren't atheistic like nearly every Dark Eldar bar the Incubi and Ynnari; fittingly enough, many of them follow [[Mathlann]] and the soul-essences that they can conjure in battle often manifest in the form of the deceased sea god. Like the Daughters of Khaine, they're aligned with Order but are generally viewed with suspicion due to their raids on humans, aelves, and occasionally Sylvaneth when they're running low on souls. Unsurprisingly, this also makes them unpopular with Death since Nagash hates everyone who tries to claim the souls of the dead other than himself.

In battle, they summon a magical ocean called the ethersea that allows them to deploy powerful aquatic creatures in battle and use their skills at fighting underwater, even when they're hundreds of miles away from any body of water.
