Craftworld Ulthwé (full name Ulthanash Shelwe) is one of the major Eldar Craftworlds in Warhammer 40,000, famous for its use of Farseers and Black Guardians. Its most famous scion is Eldrad Ulthran, the Chief Farseer of Craftworld Ulthwé and known as being one of the biggest dicks in 40k.
History
Ulthwé was one of the last Craftworlds to hightail it out of the Segmentum Obscuras, and as a result is within spitting distance of the Eye of Terror. In the last ten thousand years, Craftworld Ulthwé has suffered thousands of attacks by the daemons of Slaanesh and the Emperor's Children, earning its nickname "Ulthwé the Damned". As a result, the Craftworld's primary enemy is Chaos, and it has placed a high emphasis on the Path of the Seer and training Warlocks, allowing the Seer Council to predict when attacks will come and better prepare Ulthwe for it. Craftworld Ulthwé has occasionally worked with the Imperium of Man to better fight the forces of Chaos, but this relationship, like all Imperial-Xenos relationships, is an alliance of convenience and breaks down within moments of achieving the Eldar objective. This stems from failed first contact with the Imperium, when Eldrad attempted to warn the Imperium about Horus Lupercal's fall to Chaos, but instead of warning the Emperor himself gave his message to the Primarch Fulgrim, who was already in the throes of daemonic corruption. It resulted in a firefight and left several Eldar not just dead but lost to Slaanesh.
