	Of the various rituals Saim-Hann Eldar perform, there's currently only two really known at this time. Two clan warriors sometimes drink each other's blood in a ritual designed to create a bond between them in a manner not too dissimilar from the Blood Angel's insanguination rituals ([[Red Thirst\|only Saim-Hann Eldar don't go batshit insane if they don't regularly get some sip]]). Blood-Bonds are considered among the most serious of rituals; individuals who fail to honor or aid those to whom they've bonded with are fully exiled from Saim-Hann, full stop. The other known would be the racing/dueling system the clans or individuals utilize when they get offended by slights from other clans (hint: this happens a lot). The duel is overseen by a neutral party while the two participants name a champion not currently employed as a Wild Rider or Aspect Warrior to non-lethally joust high in the sky on jetbikes. Though such contests are ''intended'' to end at first blood, it is not unheard of or unexpected for participants to die. Such deaths are generally frowned upon, but accepted as legitimate outcomes none-the-less.		Of the various rituals Saim-Hann Eldar perform, there's currently only two really known at this time.

	When it comes to other Craftworlds, Saim-Hann is generally happy to help out Biel-Tan in cleansing aliens from maiden worlds, but are really turned off by Biel-Tan's extreme xenophobic tendencies and habit of murdering all non-Eldar life, even if they no longer pose a threat. They will also work well alongside the forces of Ulthwé but quickly grow tired of the constant manipulation and are not above telling the Seers of Ulthwé to go fuck themselves when asked to attack an unprovoked foe. They seem to get along alright with Alaitoc, as they've partnered up without issue to help defend Exodite worlds against insurgent Necron forces.

Hilariously, when it comes to non-craftworld Xenos, Saim-Hann has even worked ''with'' Necrons to curb a daemonic insurgence (that Saim-Hann admittedly and accidentally caused in the first place), though that was a particularly... unique circumstance.

	The only Eldar that most clans of Saim-Hann are regularly chummy with are the Exodites and Harlequins. The Exodite worlds apparently are fantastic places for the Wild Rider clans to host all sorts of rituals, with the exodites themselves being as close to any Wild Rider clan eldar as any. The Harlequins are the only space-faring Eldar that the Wild Rider clans never really have any beef with, partly because the murder clowns don't judge Saim-Hann for not being as "civilized" as the other Craftworlds.

	To be relatively fair to Saim-Hann as a whole, Qelanaris' campaign for revenge isn't endorsed by its Seer Council, nor do any of the other major clans of the craftworld approve. Indeed, even when Ultrasmurf Lieutenant Eothrus attempted to parlay with Qelanaris because of the bro-tier things his Space Wolf buddies told him of the Saim-Hann eldar, Qelanaris decided the best way to respond was simply wraithcannon fire. What's worse is that all of Qelanaris' efforts were sort of in vain to begin with; by the time he had organized his wraith host and attacked Vigilus, the Ultramarines had replaced the Aquilarian Council (who Qelanaris was coming to kill) and were the ones organizing the planet's defense at that point. So if anyone's to blame for this degree of fuckery, it's Qelanaris and his dead dipshit Autarch brother Rhyloor for not trying to coordinate in the slightest with the Imperium. One could argue to the later point that doing so would've only alerted Vannadan's little cult to the incoming assault, and [[Eldrad\|we know what happened the last time the Eldar]] [[Fulgrim\|tried to warn the Imperium]] [[Horus Heresy\|of Chaos corruption in its midst]]. Ultimately, Qelanaris' warband was repelled by the Ultrasmurf's [[Mary Sue\|tactical genius]] and he was forced to quit the field crying in impotent rage all the while.

	In a monumental show of common sense, Calgar (who had just taken complete command of Vigilus) managed to pin the remainder of Saim-Hann's forces and convince them to parlay. A Farseer called Keltoc had seen the possible futures that could come to pass in Vigilus and decided that actually working with humanity against Chaos would be the least batshit insane move available. The sons of Guilliman, being statesmen, as well as warriors, were able to cut a deal with warhost. Being that Saim-Hann still had a blood debt that needed fulfilling, (and knowing that their targets were both incompetent/moronic) Calgar rounded up all of the officers and senators that were complicit in the Craftworlder's deaths, promised them that there was candy inside the senate building, and then locked them inside with a bunch of pissed off magical aliens. Blood debt thus paid, the Wild Riders started waving their fast red elf butts in the face of every Speedwaaagh! they could find and then leading the charging Orks directly into Chaos battlelines. With these new warzones opening up, various Chaos Lords left their sieges to protect the traitor titans legions from the continued Ork assaults, hoping it would gain Abby's favour. With the Chaos forces distracted, an Eldar ship called ''Vaul's Ghost'' was able to deliver an Imperial payload directly into Abby's flagship, causing both it and him to quit the planet. Blood debt paid, planet saved, and Chaos given a good kicking, the Aeldari considered this a job well done and headed home. So in short, Eldar worked with humans without being dicks about it, a Chapter Master allowed Imperial officers and legislators to be murdered by Xenos to gain an alliance (Nth level Heresy), and an actual successful outcome for all parties. The Dark Imperium is truly a brave new world.

	Some time after Vigilus, the Ynnari petitioned the clans of Saim-Hann for aid in exploring the world Agarimethea, which was rumored to have a vault containing pre-fall Aeldari relics of great power. Nuadhu, current Wild Lord and heir to clan Fireheart, offered the aid of his Wild Riders almost explicitly to [[That Guy \|tap the ass of the Reborn Drukhari emmissary]] Yvraine had sent. Of course, when they actually arrived on Agarimethea, it was revealed that it was in fact a Necron Tomb World when Nuadhu managed to trigger their defense systems and woke up the Phaerakh in charge of the place. Thus, the Ynnari and clan Fireheart were forced to petition the rest of Saim-Hann's clans for help in cleaning up Nuadhu's mess. The majority of the clans on Saim-Hann were unimpressed by clan Fireheart's pleas for action (due to Fireheart's dwindling influence and the Ynnari's sketchy reputation) and were content to leave Agarimethea alone. Nuadhu called the opposing clans' representative a coward, resulting in a high-speed jousting honor duel between Druthkhala (that piece of Ynnari ASS Nuadhu was so thirsty for) and the opposing clan champion. When it became clear that Druthkhala intended to kill the other champion (as this duel normally ends at first blood), Nuadhu forfeited the match. This threw away any chance they had to gain the full support from Saim-Hann. Despite this massive setback, clan Fireheart was still able to rally their closest allies to battle while the Ynnari (specifically Eldrad) managed to convince the Saim-Hann Seer Council to lend the aid of several Aspect Shrines in addition to a few token seers to coordinate them. The newly bolstered combined forces attempted a lightning strike to reach the vault and the "treasures" inside for use against the burgeoning necron forces. Unfortunately, the vault was actually a gateway into the warp containing an innumerable Slaaneshi daemonhost who promptly began slaughtering aeldari and necron alike. In the face of this new threat, the Ynnari/Saim-Hann armies team up with the local necrons to close the portal (boy, Saim-Hann just seems to get along with anyone not affiliated with Chaos these days) at the cost of roughly a third of the Ynnari forces present. Once the portal was closed and the demons defeated, the necron Phaerakh made it clear to the eldar that the only thing she cares about is keeping the portals under her care shut and as long as the eldar leave them the hell alone, she is content to let them depart unmolested (at least no more molested than the Slaaneshi demons had left them). Eager to put this debacle to rest and content to accept the cease-fire, the Ynnari left and the Saim-Hann clans returned to their craftworld. While the Ynnari forces seemed to take the brunt of the casualties, so far it seems Saim-Hann as a whole still wants nothing to do with them; the clans who openly allied with [[Yvraine]] likely enjoy a much reduced political influence for their troubles.

	As the Psychic Awakening has been unfolding across the galaxy, Saim-Hann has been assisting Alaitoc in the defense of various Exodite worlds who have come under attack from the Mephrit Dynasty. They've hosted several more meetings with the Ynnari, but after [[Drazhar]] somehow managed to sneak in through a webway portal located in the heart of Saim-Hann [[What\|that not even a single local chieftain knew about]] and killed several Autarchs while trying to assassinate Yvraine, they are even less inclined to commit to the Ynnari's cause than they were after the Agarimethea incident. Though there were no notable individuals or clans named, it's extraordinarily likely Saim-Hann had at least a token delegation sent to Iathglas like literally every other Eldar faction to discuss the potential long-term alliance or reunification of all the Aeldari peoples. Much like all Eldar lore as of late, ultimately nothing of note came from the event; despite a sudden Slaaneshi daemon invasion being successfully repelled by the joint efforts of all the Aeldari involved, the victory evidently meant absolutely nothing since the leader of the daemonhost, [[Shalaxi Helbane]], wasn't [[Bullshit\|actually fighting at his/her true power]]. So, rather than appreciate that they were still able to defeat a sizeable daemonhost with relatively few casualties (by GW standards) by working together, the various factions became stereotypically prideful and accusatory towards one another since they didn't ''really'' win the day. With this clearly "false" victory, [[Advancing the Storyline\|all parties departed with little fanfare and no notable alliances achieved whatsoever]].

	When it comes to matters concerning the Craftworld, the clan chieftains will call a council formed from all the other clans of Saim-Hann to vote on a course of action. They spend most of their time mainly bickering amongst themselves over who <s>has the biggest dick</s> has the fastest jetbike before actually voting on whatever it is they originally met up to talk about in the first place. Bar extreme circumstances or personal codes of honor, no individual clan is truly beholden to the will of the overall council and may still act as they see fit without fear of being censured. That said, as a clan's reputation is one of their most prized values, it isn't too often a clan can constantly blow off the council and still retain any real say in Craftworld affairs.

	As you'd expect, the position of clan chieftain is primarily hereditary. Once a chieftain comes into power, they must walk the Path of Command if they have not already and ~~cannot~~ be part of any Aspect Warrior shrine. To this extent, no individual (regardless of rank or import) may participate in clan-based politics while they are a part of the Wild Riders or Aspect Shrines, nor can such individuals act on a clan's behalf (such as championing a clan in a duel).

To this extent, no individual (regardless of rank or import) may participate in clan-based politics while they ''are'' a part of the Wild Riders or Aspect Shrines, nor can such individuals act on a clan's behalf (such as championing a clan in a duel) or fully claim the title of chieftain until they relinquish their position from their Wild Rider host or Aspect Shrine. This is, simply put, because a member of the Wild Riders or Aspect Shrines is duty bound to put the Craftworld itself above all other concerns, including the individual's clan.

	In a stark contrast to most other Craftworlds, the Seer Council on Saim-Hann holds very little sway among its people. As the chieftains are much more concerned with brand recognition and personal honour, they generally have little interest in galactic affairs not immediately concerning them or the Craftworld and don't pay much heed to the seer's obscure visions or requests. It is, in fact, almost becoming a trend for a majority of the clans on Saim-Hann to ignore or outright dismiss the Seer Council out of hand whenever it asks for an audience. Individual seers may still advise their relevant chieftains and the Seer Council may cast a single vote whenever the chieftains convene, but their actual influence is pretty minimal among the clans.

	'''[[Craftworld]] Saim-Hann''' is one of the five big Craftworlds, notably the one most ~~player's~~ are exposed to (seeing as their colors are used on all the Craftworld miniature boxart). Saim-Hann specializes in jetbikes and about everybody there is part of a Wild Rider family - basically a clan of crazy Eldar jetbikers. They are known for loving it fast and rough; maybe they watched the [[Orks\|Speed Freeks]] and thought "We can do that too, but even better than those amatuers!" (They, like the Speed Freeks and [[Blood Angels]], believe that 'Red ones go faster!') Unlike other Craftworlds, they are not particularly big on the typical Eldar Path, instead being more outgoing and enjoying the simple things of life to a higher degree than other Craftworld Eldar. This has earned them a reputation as barbarians among other Craftworlds; things like settling disputes and disagreements with ritual duels to the first blood and a general dislike for intrigue and manipulation do not help that impression. This does mean, though, that you can actually use diplomacy with them or at the very least won't at first oppertunity go Corvus on you.

	==Tactics and Military Doctrine==		==Tactics and Military Doctrine==
	Saim-Hann tactics are all about speed. Be it their Guardians or Seers, a solid majority of their military tends to rely on Windrider or Vyper jetbikes as the mainstay of their army. Unsurprisingly they also have a high concentration of the Swooping Hawks and Shining Spear [[Aspect Warriors]] on their [[Craftworld]]. Predictably, this high emphasis on fast, highly maneuverable units gives them even more of a predilection towards hit-and-run tactics or ~~blitzkrieging~~ compared to other Craftworlders. While their preferred tactics are fully valid in most cases, they are also the most typical and by extension, predictable, of all the other Eldar Craftworlds.		Saim-Hann tactics are all about speed.

	Bar the Aspect Shrines and Wild Riders, all personnel and war assets belong to the various individual clans of Saim-Hann. Each clan has full autonomy regarding whether or not they wish to partake in a militarized campaign, or if they just want to chill back on their Craftworld. The Seer Council or other Wild Rider clans can attempt to pressure or encourage each other into action, but any clan who can't be bothered can and will just tell each other to fuck off and go about their business as usual.
