Lanthrilaq
Lanthrilaq, also known as Lanthrilaq the Swift or idiogramatically "The Swift One",[2a] was an Eldar hero of legend and leader of people who fought with Khaine as well as Jaeriela, Ulthanash and Eldanesh against the Yngir.[1]
Lanthrilaq was one of the hundred heroes for whom Vaul had been charged to forge blades by Khaine, in a bargain to free Kurnous and Isha from Khaine's dungeons, but was given a faulty sword instead of a life-restoring Blade-Wraith and the result of which was the doom of the heroes.[1]
After seven days and nights of fighting the Necrontyr, Lanthrilaq's sword dulled and he grew tired and broke formation, giving Kaelis Ra the Deathbringer an opening to erupt from the earth and slay Lanthrilaq and many of his compatriots – turning their souls forever to dust.[1]
The Legend of Lanthrilaq is kept within the Arcadian Librarium alongside the majority of his faulty Blade-Wraith, which was reunited with that which Lavena the Joyful had found and re-forged it into the blade Vairocanum "The Touch of Death".[2b] Now reborn, Lanthrilaq's Blade now resides within Craftworld Biel-tan.[2c]
