	They do however share a number of strong similarities that build a much stronger argument for the Drukhari being the counterpart of Idoneth over say the Daughters of Khaine. Both the Idoneth and Drukhari favour lightning fast, hit and run attacks using large numbers of flying vehicles or monsters in the case of Idoneth as their mounts move by "swimming" through the air thanks to the Ethersea creating an artificial magical ocean environment.

	In their quest to save and fix the vast majority of their race, the Idoneth soldiers were forced to resort to large scale violence. As it stands, Idoneth are not the grimdark Dark Eldar, they are cold, nobledark Elves of the sea. The ACTUAL AoS Dark Eldar equivalents are more along the lines of the [[Daughters of Khaine]], or [[Malekith\|Malerion]] and his bunch whenever they scuttle out of whatever hole they've been hiding in.

			The only real similarity between Daughters of Khaine and Drukhari is Daughters of Khaine wear spikey armour? And are the remnant of WHFBs Druchii...?

	Though it is established that becoming an Akhelian King or Queen is done via meritocracy across enclaves, he wrote that Briomdar has an inheritable throne, like a monarchy. Whereas most Idoneth see the loss of each others' lives as to be avoided where possible, Guymer has them engage in murderous duels and violent infighting at the drop of a hat with little consequence. While this behavior would fit the Fuethan and maybe Dhom-Hain, the enclave in the story is the Brimodar (canonically one of the friendliest and most level-headed enclaves).

	Pointless abuse against Namarti is rampant; they are not only seen as cursed and unfortunate, but borderline not worth living. While some enclaves ~~are callous towards the Namarti and the~~ Fuethan ~~now~~ treat them like this, again, this is very out-of-character for the Brimodar. Where the Battletome established that Namarti are born without eyes, Guymer for some reason thinks that their eyes are ritualistically removed in their youth.

	While the actual prose is great, his novel is filled to be brim with lore contradictions that make the Deepkin much worse than they actually are.		While the actual prose is great, his novel is filled to be brim with lore contradictions that make the Deepkin much worse than they actually are.
