Eidolon is a former Eldar Maiden World hidden deep in the heart of the Eye of Terror.^[1]

The land mass of the planet is in a constant state of flux and is divided into several continents, each claimed by different Chaos powers who wage eternal wars to encroach into other territories. The planet is supposedly home to many valuable ancient artefacts dating back to the Fall of the Eldar.^[1]

During the 13th Black Crusade,^[4] victories by the Eldar of Biel-tan have carved several enclaves of sanity in the planet's roiling seas of possibility. They hope to one-day use these enclaves to stabilize and reclaim lost secrets Eidolon.^[1] But these pockets of resistance are being attacked by the Daemon World's inhabitants and it is not known how long they will last. Also, once the Inquisition learned of Biel-tan's enclaves, Inquisitors began journeying to Eidolon in order to explore it.^[4]
