'''{{PAGENAME}}''' was one of the early [[Eldar]] homeworlds. However, after the [[Fall of the Eldar]] it was pulled into the [[Eye of Terror]] and is now a [[Crone World]], deserted and abandoned.{{Fn|7}}
==History==
Belial IV was once one of the thriving worlds at the heart of the [[Eldar Empire]]. For millennia it was a prosperous paradise of luxurious and beautiful cities at the centre of a web of influence. The cataclysmic birth of [[Slaanesh]] that tor tore the empire apart turned the world into a blasted wasteland and purgatory for the dead and all their treasures and riches, hidden within haunted cities. Countless [[waystone]]s are scattered across the world to this day.{{Fn|6a}}
During the [[Imperium]]'s [[First Survey]], Belial was marked on the star charts of the Imperium as [[Forbidden World|Forbidden]] under the interdict of the [[Ecclesiarchy]]. It was rumoured in the Imperium to be haunted, covered in the ruins of a lost race, and steeped in ancient evil.{{Fn|2b}}
