"The scions of the Dark City would never admit that the unceasing hunger at their core is what drives them to such heights of cruelty. Instead they maintain that they act only upon their own desires. Some have even managed to convince themselves of this. In truth, unless our cousins in the Webway feed upon a constant diet of extreme emotion they will slowly wither away, leaving naught but a soulless husk. We of the Craftworlds deny all such urges, and in doing so become less than ourselves. Perhaps it is those that we left to perish who are the lucky ones."

[@laurinkaebelmann6373]

The Imperium, the Eldar, Tau, Necrons have reasons to be evil? Isn't one of the major tragedies of the imperium their unnecessary hatred against other intelligent live, except Orks. The Dark Eldar on the other hand have to inflict pain to not be consumed by Slaanesh. They could use souls tones, but they are rare. That's why there are relatively few craftworld eldar.

The Dark Eldar have a pretty valid reason, they don't torture and murder a lovecraftian cosmic horror gets their souls... I mean it doesn't make what they are doing a good thing or okay, but from their perspective, the lives of a few billion humans(who number in the countless trillions), hardly matters in the face of their own survival. Sorta like the Inquisition murdering a billion to save hundreds of billions more. If you were a person being tortured by the Dark Eldar or Virus Bombed by the Inquisition, I doubt you'd care about either ones moral justifications.

[@TK199999]

For those confused about Spirit Stones, did they exist before the Fall or after? Spirit Stones did exist before the Fall, its implied many of the Craftworld Eldar use these ancient stones. But since the Eldar could be reincarnated the Stones were more a curiosity then a necessity. But it does appear the pre-Fall Eldar could make Spirit Stones themselves. After the Fall all the Eldar lost the ability to make more Spirit Stones, so once the limited supply the Craftworlds took with them probably as historical oddities ran out. Future Eldar would need Spirit Stones from the Crown worlds. Its not explained if those are still pre-Fall Spirit Stones left on the Crown worlds or they the crystalized bodies of destroyed Eldar from the Fall, it maybe both.

@@jinpachibobochan3532 It should be noted that porn has been crammed in massive amounts into all forms of fiction even since ancient times, with most ancient pantheons even having a sex deity with cults who are basically just nympho conventions. Even in the most stringent of cultures, huge amounts of sneakily crammed in sex is present in literature (ancient Christian and Muslim poetry and fiction is hilariously packed with innuendos worded to technically be passable to the rage of their churches).

Food for thought: low general birthrate for the Eldar may have to do with their nearly indefinite life span. Soul stone sorcery and advanced medicine aside: let's say every live birth had a margin of fatality, even a super low one like say .05% chance.

Well, someone could probably make a decent argument for Hellraiser taking place in the distant past of Warhammer 40K and that the god, Leviathan, is just Slaanesh by a different name. As once a Chaos God is born it now exist across all space and time, like it was always there thanks to how the warp works. This would make the Cenobites something akin to Champions of Slaanesh or Daemon Princes, seeing as they were once just extremely perverse humans before seeking an audience with the god, Leviathan, desiring more pleasure and hedonistic experiences, before being elevated to what they are now... demonic creatures from another dimension.

Greatly done overview Luetin!:) On the topic of Drukhari psychic atrophy, there are some mentions (iirc Path of the Seer novel) that Eldar have a level of psychic empathy towards each other, at a subconscious level. My theory is that Drukhari having that part of themselves atrophied would mean they exhibit less or no empathy, which facilitates their horrible acts towards others...

[@MrJerichoPumpkin]

taking into account their "cenobitian" attitude, I would venture in the opposite direction. Having a greater degree of empaty let them not only experience more extreme sensations, but also imagine way more efficient methods of inflicting pain and pleasure. Maybe they simply have gone so wide they can't focus it anymore...

I just can't wrap my head around how the weakest of the Chaos Gods could somehow lay claim to an entire race.

Their anger, ambitions, and desires would be of equal value.

[@Xo-3130]

The other three are far older and have been making moves of races for far longer. Simply put in the galaxy its not uncommon for most xenos cultures to have fallen to the worship of the chaos gods. In fact, the Imperium in the Great Crusade kept coming into conflict with many races who only in hindsight they would realize had worshiped the dark gods. Many of the races enslaved humans had the taint abput them and are moved around to new colony worlds. The Chaos Gods use them as a tool to infect the Imperium. They already have but there are still more to corrupt and there are still races yet uncontacted. This is something people temd to forget that the Chaos Gods mess with every race in the setting and only a few are able to recongize this or are immume/resistant to it. Most the galaxy might as well be written off as chaos tainted because in all likelyhood they are.

Every Eldar craves Slaanesh, the way a recovered addict craves their drug. When they die, their soul is not taken by slaanesh by force, but rather they are drawn to slaanesh willingly.

I think it's a mistake to think of the Dark Eldar as being full of self-pity and self-loathing. They are basically psychic vampires, and one of the reasons they've been my guys since they were introduced is because in a universe with no good guys the Dark Eldar are arguably the worst. They _chose_ this path and they make no pretenses about their voracious hunger or what they need to do to sate it. Every other faction is a milquetoast level baddie by comparison.

@@corrosgamingyt9673 Ork aren't evil. To be evil you must choose that path (regardless of the reason). The Ork just follow their instinct to war with absolutely anyone or anything, including themselves. They aren't evil, every last bit of their very biology pushes them to fight. Without conflict they actually wither and die, which is why they instinctively fight each other if no other targets exist. Ork will also work or fight alongside anyone else too. There exist Ork merc groups that fight alongside the Imperium and Tao for example. One can't really generalize "Chaos". Chaos is 4 separate factions that fight each other. So you'd have to pick their factions for which you consider to be evil. Khorne and Slaanesh pretty well fight each other whenever given the opportunity for example, as do their follower. Thus you cannot consider them to truly be part of the same faction as they refuse to work together. Khorne Berserkers are forced to consider all Slaanesh units as hostile targets by game rules after all. Which is why in 2v2 fights you will never see those two armies fielded side by side...as the Khorne Berserkers MUST advance toward the nearest enemy unit...of which they consider every last Slaanesh unit as an enemy regardless of being "ally" or not.
