===All the others=== ====Still Active==== :'''[[Altansar]]''' -- The home of [[Phoenix Lord]] [[Phoenix_Lord#Maugan_Ra|Maugan Ra]]. Once thought lost in the [[Warp]], Maugan Ra managed to find them and guide them out. Not very liked by the other Eldar, because they (rightfully) think that nothing can remain untouched by the Warp. But don't mention that around Ra if you want to avoid [[DOOM: Repercussions of Evil|repercussions.]] The only Craftworld, so far, to seemingly have completely joined the [[Ynnari]]. It is currently in Segmentum Solar and is, in fact, very near Terra. Fluff even notes that it is unknown why the Imperium has not acted against them, though those of us with brains would assume their doubtless utterly massive hatred of [[Chaos]] would probably make them ready allies to the Imperium (that and they're Ynnari and so the Imperium will probably leave them alone so long as they don't get ''too'' close to Terra). :'''Black Library''' -- Described as a Craftworld that exists wholly within the [[Webway]] (not [[Commorragh|''that one'']]). Not much is known about its structure or politics, other than that it houses an unparalleled archive on the secrets of the galaxy, including the origins of Chaos. Is protected by dread sentinels called the White Guardians, and only [[Harlequins]] ''and other trusted individuals such as Eldrad (and on rare occasions human Inquisitor under heavy supervision are permitted limited access)'' have the freedom to study here. :'''Ctho''' -- Another "lost" Craftworld. :'''Dolthe''' -- A little-known craftworld whose Dire Avengers fought alongside the [[Tanith First (And Only)]] to close a Webway portal in Monthax. :'''Dorhai''' -- An isolationist Craftworld that see themselves as the sole untainted survivors of the Fall, so refuse to deal with outsiders. ''Similar to Kaelor''. :'''Il-Kaithe''' -- On an eternal crusade against Chaos, they are unusual in that they take their [[Bonesinger]]s into battle. They hate daemons so much that they're surprisingly friendly to [[Drukhari|their darker brethren]] and the Imperium if they're willing to fight them too. :'''Il'sariadh''' -- Nearly got raped to death when the Changeling infiltrated a Harlequin troupe and summoned a Slaaneshi incursion led by the Masque. Devastated, but surviving. :'''Iybraesil''' -- A [[Drow|matriarchal]] society that likely employs large numbers of Howling Banshees. Staunch followers of [[Morai-Heg]] to the point they use her severed hand as their world-rune. They have a great interest in the [[Crone World]]s. :'''Kaelor''' -- Paranoid isolationists, even amongst Eldar. Consider all of the other Craftworlds to be tainted in some manner, and so avoid contact, so they get ignored, though we know them to be tainted by association with [[C.S Goto]], so we ignore them. Notable for their influence over the [[Rogue Trader (RPG)|Jericho Reach]] and the fact their community cleaves to the old system of noble houses, so aspect shrines owe allegiance to nobles rather then the Craftworld as a whole. :'''Kal'raktri''' -- Lies far in the Eastern Fringe. Mostly home to Seers and Wraithguards. :'''Karan-Ske''' -- Lies close to Ultramar and constantly butt heads with the Smurfs. :'''Kinshara''' -- Not much is known, other than this was home to a magnificent weaponsmith. The story goes that [[Maugan Ra]] kidnapped this smith and forced him to teach the Phoenix Lord everything he knew about weaponcrafting in order to manufacture the '''Maugetar'''. The Phoenix Lord was so pleased with the weapon that he mutilated the smith, [[Grimdark|cutting off his hands, tongue, and eyes so that he would never make a weapon to equal this creation.]] :'''Lugganath''' -- BFFs with the [[Harlequin]]s, they think that the Galaxy has gone down the crapper (no shit, Sherlock) and want to start anew in the Webway after ridding it of the Dark Eldar (which is not likely to happen). To do this, they're trying to find a Craftworld-sized webway portal. :'''Mero''' -- Sometimes referred to as "Meros". Only known to be a doomed Craftworld, like Ulthwé. :'''Miandrothe''' -- found in the [[Dark Heresy Second Edition|Askellon Sector]]. Their particular shtick is that the Imperium doesn't know where they are, and they act through [[Corsair]] proxies. If they ever do do something on their own, they hope the Imperium is too dumb to tell the difference between Corsairs and Craftworlders. While this technically true, they forget the Imperium doesn't give a damn about said difference, so the plan is still terrible. :'''Mymeara''' -- Has an [[Imperial Armour]] book named after them detailing their fall from planet to Craftworld. Home to the Shadow Spectre [[Aspect Warriors]] and their lost [[Phoenix Lord]] Irilyth. The Craftworlders successfully recover his armor and re-awaken his spirit, but at the price of getting their asses kicked by [[Space Wolves]]. :'''Telennar''' -- Buddies with Alaitoc and an infamous Harlequin troupe known as the Masque of the Twisted Path, who have a fetish for kidnapping anyone except for those from this Craftworld. :'''Ul-Khari''' -- A craftworld trapped in the Gilead system. Got trashed pretty bad after colliding with a Death Guard daemon world but is still chugging along. :'''Yme-Loc''' -- [[Munchkin]] motherfuckers who spam grav-tanks and [[Titans 40k|Titans]] in battle. Unluckily for them, their reliance on rare toys would prove to be a double edged sword. The [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] found their Craftlworld and proceeded to attack the hell out of it, only relenting once they had stolen enough Eldar technology to sate their deviant curiosity. :'''Varantha''' -- Hates Chaos more than usual. Interestingly, it's known history has it going so far as to actively protect even Imperial worlds from Chaos threats and genuinely co-operate with Imperials. Even non-Chaos threats cause this like when they directed an Ork WAAAGH!!! into an Iron Hands fortress instead of allowing it to slaughter its way through Imperial and Exodite Worlds in the region. While this might be Imperial Worlds being saved by accident, it would arguably have been far more effective to direct the Orks to the Imperial Worlds knowing those would be total tarpits and honey pots to Orks or simply evacuate the Exodites and wait out the WAAAGH!!!. So, this might be the one Craftworld who ''maybe'' is genuinely helpful and just doesn't want more people in general being murderized by space monsters. To a reasonable (by 40k standards) degree, at least. Also, Varantha does actually trade with humans, so good public relations is good business for them. ====Ruined==== :'''Aon'tai''' -- Destroyed by Biel-Tan during a darker period in Asuryani history. :'''Bel-Shammon''' -- Wrecked by the Imperium sometime before the Gothic War. :'''Féin-Cineál''' -- Homeland of Achillrial, one of the first [[Autarch|Autarchs]]. His death due to betrayal led to the Craftworld's destruction. All that remains of it is Achillrial's Shimmerplume, a helm that absorbed sunlight and used it to blind people. :'''Ila-Manesh''' -- Utterly wiped out by the Night Lords and their Defilers. A specially violent Defiler called ''Ghostcrusher'' single-handedly wrecked a shrine to Eldanesh and everything inside it. :'''Idharae''' -- a small lightly populated Craftworld that teamed up with Malan'tai and Iyanden to fight Tyranids before Malan'tai got Doomed, then got themselves destroyed by the [[Invaders]] Space Marines. The Invaders also had the help of the Legion of the Damned along with other imperial forces. The Invaders also only attempted to attack after the craftworld had just fought off Hive Fleet Naga all on its own and was still in a weak position. :'''Jielthwa''' -- Attacked by the Ultrasmurfs during the Great Crusade. :'''Kher-Ys''' -- Destroyed by a [[Slaanesh]]i daemon incursion. Oh, and a [[Keeper of Secrets]] possessed their [[Khaela Mensha Khaine|Avatar]] during the fighting, you can imagine how much <s>proverbial</s> buttrape happened there. Sidenote: the whole story is a 40k version of the Breton legend of the sunken city of Ys[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ys] (''Kêr-Is''). :'''Lanimayesh''' -- Population wiped out by Khornate daemons. After an expedition from Biel-Tan, what remained of it was ripped apart and pulled into the Warp. :'''Lu'Nasad''': A craftworld that tried to escape The Fall by using the webway to find a safe refuge in realspace. After unlocking a sealed craftworld-sized webway gate, they passed through... to find themselves in a warp/realspace interstice known by the Imperium as the Rifts of Hecaton, which promptly [[Derp|ended]] [[RAPE|badly]]. The primary McGuffin of [[Rogue Trader (RPG)|FFG's Warpstorm Trilogy]] adventures. It's been completely corrupted by Chaos (The Eldar equivalent of a [[Daemon World]]) and is filled with creatures known as "Aspect Shells", hollow armors of Asuryani Aspect Warriors and Wraith constructs possessed by daemons. :'''Magc'Sithraal''' -- A hub of piracy that was home to large groups of Corsairs and Wraiths. Basically the Eldar version of Reavers. Destroyed by [[Sanguinius]] and the [[Blood Angels]] during the Great Crusade. :'''Malan'tai''' -- Got LOLDRAIN'D by a unique [[Zoanthrope]] who feeds off psychic energy. Needless to say, after it devoured the souls on the Craftworld's [[Infinity Circuit]], things went very bad for them. Are now extinct. The [[Grey Knights]] under the command of [[Anval Thawn]] went and saved the remaining soulstones from a Keeper of Secrets and were [[Matt Ward|uncharacteristically]] generous enough to give them back to the Eldar. (Considering what would happen if those stones were destroyed, it would have been best to give them to the Eldar) :'''Mor-rioh<nowiki>'</nowiki>hi''' -- Back in the Great Crusade, they fought the Imperium during the War in the Shedim Drifts, which ended with its destruction at the hands of the [[Luna Wolves]], but not before the space elves decimated two Titan Legions. :'''Muirgaythh''' -- Wiped out by a Slaaneshi incursion. Only one man survived, who went full Exarch afterwards out of [[RAGE|sheer rage]]. :'''Sethoywan''' -- The master of this Craftworld was slain by Daylight, from the Imperial Fists. The exact time is unknown, but prior to the War of the Beast. :'''She'enshar''' -- Destroyed under unknown circumstances. Wreck lies close to T'au space, but is guarded by Harlequins. :'''Taial'shara''' -- Destroyed by the birth of Slaanesh. Its remains lie close to the Cadian Gate. :'''Theminarae''' -- Destroyed during the initial escape from the Fall when it crashed on the planet Quintus due to a Warp Storm kicking off in the Calaphrax Cluster. :'''Thuyelsa''' -- Destroyed by [[Space Wolves]] and the [[Imperial Guard|Imperial Army]] at some point during the [[Great Crusade]]. The Army soldiers called it 'Scintilla City' because of the way it sparkled... as the 6th legion systematically smashed it to pieces. The Wolves took their time on this fight. :'''Tuonoetar''' -- Smashed into bits by the [[World Eaters]] during the Great Crusade. :'''Ul-Khari''' -- Fell victim to the Great Rift, which [[Exterminatus|threw a Hive World at it]]. Some of its people survived and have settled the planet, which was strangely devoid of any human life. :'''Uthuriel''' -- Crashed on the planet Darcturus in the Moebius sub-sector. [[Bronislaw Czevak|Inquisitor Czevak]] tried to loot its Shrine of Khaine, but the Deathwatch was having none of that and tried to arrest him. :'''X'amot''' -- "Vanquished" under unknown circumstances. Source of loot for the [[Iron Warriors]]. :'''Zandros''' -- Only mentioned twice, once as the home to a unique warrior aspect called the '''Slicing Orbs'''. The second time as the site of a duel between [[Karandras]] and [[Arhra]] throughout its shattered ruins and over the shrine of the aforementioned aspect warriors. :'''Zaisuthra''' -- Isolated from other Craftworlds. Unlike the other Craftworlds, Zaisuthra didn't follow the Paths and worshipped the old Eldar pantheon nommed by Slaanesh. They also didn't have an Infinity Circuit and willingly allowed a [[Genestealer]] cult to spread and corrupt the entire population, thinking it would protect them from being raped and eaten after their deaths (not the worst idea, given the [[Slaanesh|alternative]]). The Craftworld also had a portal that led straight to the tomb of Eldanesh, in the long-lost Eldar homeworld. Needless to say, the Ynnari were so disgusted by the inbred Elfstealers that the [[Yncarne]] purged the whole damn ship after they were done looking for their special sharp stick. :'''Zu'lasa''' -- Destroyed by the Fall and crash-landed on the planet Shanriatha. [[Lorgar]] once went there to kill what remained of its Avatar of Khaine. ====Uncertain==== :'''Os'Tara''' -- Featured in Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2. Ynnead worshippers and buddies with the Ynnari. They bear black and white colors and use the Sign of the Phoenix as their world-rune (The symbol also represents Ynnead after his awakening). Gets ripped in two in the Necron, Chaos and Tyranid campaigns and in the Imperium campaign if Spire sides with Inquisitor Darkhammer. If Spire sides with the perfidous Xenos, they leave for parts unknown. Since the game is not canon outside of the prologue, they are likely alive. . . If their existence is itself canon.
