	Part of his job was to settle disputes among the gods without upsetting anyone too much, a job that he failed so hard at that he makes Failbaddon look good. Thus, when [[Khaine]] started butchering the [[Eldar]] because he heard from Asuryan's granddaughter (and the entire Eldar race's sister), [[Lileath]], that they would kill him one day, and [[Isha]] and [[Kurnous]] raised a fuss because he was massacring ''their children'', Asuryan decided that the realms of the gods and mortals would be separated -- that way, none of them could kill each other. This may sound like Khaine got off ~~Scott~~ free (which he did), but think about it from the Eldar Gods’ perspective. To them, the dead Eldar either reincarnated as space Orangutan or (maybe after dying as one) showed up with the gods in Eldar afterlife to live happily ever after. From that perspective, the Eldar being killed doesn't seem like a big deal to cause a fuss about. Oh no, your children are dead which means now they must live in perfect paradise for all eternity. How terrible.		Part of his job was to settle disputes among the gods without upsetting anyone too much, a job that he failed so hard at that he makes Failbaddon look good.

	Isha and Kurnous weren't happy to be separated from their children, so with Vaul's help, they found a way to communicate with the Eldar, but when Khaine learned about this, he went whining to Asuryan about it.

	The High Elves worship the same set of gods as the Eldar do, with a few minor changes here and there, but theirs are all still alive. Since [[Chaos]] (called the Ruinous Powers more often in Fantasy) came as a result of the [[Old Ones]] fucking up their attempts at protecting the world from Chaos instead of anything the elves did (quite the contrary, the High Elves actually manage to beat Chaos back into the Warp constantly and even fight alongside other races towards common goals with regularity), Khaine never heard any prophesy about mortal elves harming him and thus never had a reason to kill them, so the War in Heaven never happened. In addition, gods are much more powerful and themselves can provide at least some opposition to the Chaos gods on a cosmic scale, rather than just the Emperor (and [[Gork and Mork]], of course) in 40K.

	The Fantasy version of Asuryan is not called the Phoenix King, because that title belongs to one of the two rulers of [[Ulthuan]] whom he personally judges and blesses ([[Malekith\|or throws into a deep frier, pisses on, and drops back into the mortal world for being an egocentric dick]]).

	According to two legends, Asuryan was the first true god, and was around when Chaos first broke into the world. The dark gang took the other fledgling gods by surprise and Khorne slew Asuryan while he and the others were putting up a last stand, but he returned at the last moment in a fiery blaze and beat back the entire Chaos host. Since then he's sat atop his temple in a pose like Karl-Franz from ''Shadow of the Horned Rat'', grumpily staring down at the world and usually observing rather than acting while holding the flame of life in his hand, though he's said to adjudicate disputes between the gods to prevent literal holy wars.

	According to the <strike>skub</strike> fluff from the third bookset of [[The End Times]], Asuryan and his daughter are actually refugees from a previous world that was overrun by Chaos, part of a cosmic cycle that is doomed to repeat itself unto infinity. Though Asuryan perishes during the End Times, the former Wood Elf Araloth is sent to a new world by [[Lileath]] with their daughter, to be the new Asuryan of the next world. Unfortunately for Lileath, when Duke Jerrod of Bretonnia confronts her, no doubt pissed off after learning that the god his people were serving turned out to be a two-faced manipulative bitch, Be'lakor eavesdrops and learns about Lileath's safehaven. As a result, the Chaos gods murderrape it before Araloth has a chance to make anything out of it, most likely doing the same thing to both Araloth and his daughter in the process. In the ''[[The End Times]]: [[Khaine]]'' fluff book, when Asuryan dies, the Wood Elf Araloth sees under his helmet -- and sees his own face looking back.

	He appears as an Elf/Eldar seated on a [[Golden Throne]], almost never moving because his mind is always working on his ultimate plan for the universe.

Or because he's fuck-ugly, who knows. Or he’d be recognized assuming he’s secretly someone familiar.

	Part of his job was to settle disputes among the gods without upsetting anyone too much, a job that he failed so hard at that he makes Failbaddon look good. Thus, when [[Khaine]] started butchering the [[Eldar]] because he heard from Asuryan's granddaughter (and the entire Eldar race's sister), [[Lileath]], that they would kill him one day, and [[Isha]] and [[Kurnous]] raised a fuss because he was massacring ''their children'', Asuryan decided that the realms of the gods and mortals would be separated -- that way, none of them could kill each other. This may sound like Khaine got off Scott free (which he did), but think about it from the Eldar Gods’ perspective. To them, the dead Eldar either reincarnated as space Orangutan or (maybe after dying as one) showed up with the gods in Eldar afterlife to live happily ever after. From that perspective, the Eldar being killed doesn't seem like a big deal to cause a fuss about. Oh no, your children are dead which means now they must live in perfect paradise for all eternity. How terrible.		Part of his job was to settle disputes among the gods without upsetting anyone too much, a job that he failed so hard at that he makes Failbaddon look good.

	Isha and Kurnous weren't happy to be separated from their children, so with Vaul's help, they found a way to communicate with the Eldar, but when Khaine learned about this, he went whining to Asuryan about it.		Isha and Kurnous weren't happy to be separated from their children, so with Vaul's help, they found a way to communicate with the Eldar, but when Khaine learned about this, he went whining to Asuryan about it.

	Asuryan decided, in his infinite wisdom (and even more infinite laziness), that maintaining the separation between the gods and mortals meant keeping them ''totally'' separated, and that handing Isha and Kurnous over to Khaine was a reasonable punishment (Khaine certainly thought so -- though he could not kill his fellow gods, he could certainly torture them). [[Vaul]] managed to bargain with Khaine for their freedom: one hundred mighty blades delivered within a year. Unfortunately, he only had ninety-nine blades ready when the year was up, so he slipped in a mortal's blade for the last one. Vaul, Kurnous, and Isha had to run for it before Khaine figured out he had been tricked.

	The High Elves worship the same set of gods as the Eldar do, with a few minor changes here and there, but theirs are all still alive. Since [[Chaos]] (called the Ruinous Powers more often in Fantasy) came as a result of the [[Old Ones]] fucking up their attempts at protecting the world from Chaos instead of anything the elves did (quite the contrary, the High Elves actually manage to beat Chaos back into the Warp constantly and even fight alongside other races towards common goals with regularity), Khaine never heard any prophesy about mortal elves harming him and thus never had a reason to kill them, so the War in Heaven never happened. In addition, gods are much more powerful and themselves can provide at least some opposition to the Chaos gods on a cosmic scale, rather than just the Emperor (and [[Gork and Mork]], of course) in 40K.

	The Fantasy version of Asuryan is not called the Phoenix King, because that title belongs to one of the two rulers of [[Ulthuan]] whom he personally judges and blesses ([[Malekith\|or throws into a deep frier, pisses on, and drops back into the mortal world for being an egocentric dick]]). Instead, he is known as the Emperor of the Heavens and the Creator. Might just be an old one according to the Obernarn Stone.

	According to two legends, Asuryan was the first true god, and was around when Chaos first broke into the world. The dark gang took the other fledgling gods by surprise and Khorne slew Asuryan while he and the others were putting up a last stand, but he returned at the last moment in a fiery blaze and beat back the entire Chaos host. Since then he's sat atop his temple in a pose like Karl-Franz from ''Shadow of the Horned Rat'', grumpily staring down at the world and usually observing rather than acting while holding the flame of life in his hand, though he's said to adjudicate disputes between the gods to prevent literal holy wars.

	According to the <strike>skub</strike> fluff from the third bookset of [[The End Times]], Asuryan and his daughter are actually refugees from a previous world that was overrun by Chaos, part of a cosmic cycle that is doomed to repeat itself unto infinity. Though Asuryan perishes during the End Times, the former Wood Elf Araloth is sent to a new world by [[Lileath]] with their daughter, to be the new Asuryan of the next world. Unfortunately for Lileath, when Duke Jerrod of Bretonnia confronts her, no doubt pissed off after learning that the god his people were serving turned out to be a two-faced manipulative bitch, Be'lakor eavesdrops and learns about Lileath's safehaven. As a result, the Chaos gods murderrape it before Araloth has a chance to make anything out of it, most likely doing the same thing to both Araloth and his daughter in the process. In the ''[[The End Times]]: [[Khaine]]'' fluff book, when Asuryan dies, the Wood Elf Araloth sees under his helmet -- and sees his own face looking back. The reason behind this gets revealed (sorta) at the book's end.
