Craftworld Altansar is a craftworld that has a penchant for surviving against near impossible odds. Back during the fall, when the Eldar were busy making snuff porn videos 24/7, Altansar ended up being one of the last craftworlds to leave the empire. However, they were thought lost after being outright swallowed by the Eye of Terror. The Pheonix Lord Maugan Ra was the only survivor, and being atypical of his entire race, barged through the Eye of Terror and saved their space elf asses in the aftermath of Abbadabbadoo's 13th Temper Tantrum and the great rift. Despite being saved, many Eldar distrust the Altansari, mostly because they think there is no way they can't be somewhat corrupted by Chaos.
History
Altansar got its start just like all the others; fleeing just in time to avoid being tentacle raped by Slaanesh. However, Altansar had the misfortune of being way closer to the Eye of Terror than even Ulthwe, so the gravity well of the warp began to swallow them in. Altansar put up a ferocious fight, but in the end they were swallowed up by unreality, with the world's only survivor being Maugan Ra, Pheonix Lord of the Dark Reapers. After this, all contact was thought lost with Altansar, and for 10,000 years nobody heard from them again.
Enter the Great Rift, which conventiently left open a hole in the Eye of Terror where Altansar should be. Maugan Ra grabs his Eldar LMG and rips and tears until he finds his home, and then leads them to out of the Eye of Terror, freeing them from the evil of Chaos. They don't get a warm welcome though, since pretty much every other craftworld holds them at gunpoint due to thinking of them as little more than a trojan horse for Slaanesh. The Altansari have aligned themselves with the Ynnari, which is either a good sign or extremely terrible, depending on your opinion of them.
Culture
Altansar literally means "The Broken Chain" in Aeldari, an almost on the nose reference to their seperation for 10,000 years. Altansar is notable for being silent, speaking only in whispers. They also never remove their masks to strangers from other craftworlds. This is bound to make visits from other Eldar extremely awkward when every citizen is watching these newcoming Eldar with their masks on. Funnily enough, the Pink Soldiers from Squid game have the same color scheme as the Altansari, which can probably be summed up as a collossal coincidence.
The other thing about Altansar is that they are really fucking good at killing Daemons and fighting to their last dying breath in their 9th edition rules, suggesting that these are some of the closest Eldar get to an army of Doomslayers. In fact, it is this combined with their alliance with the Ynnari that keeps the Imperium from trying to blowing them off the map immediately, as Altansar is extremely close to Terra, and the powers that be figure that it is better to let some space pansies chill nearby killing Chaos rather than waste time trying to make enemies where none need be made.
