However, Eldanesh's relationship with [[Ulthanesh]] soon became strained. It came to pass that the ambitions of Ulthanesh and the will of Eldanesh were at odds, and Eldanesh banished his friend into the desert. Meditating for a long time over the wrongs of the universe and the dishonor visited upon him by Eldanesh. The war god, [[Kaela Mensha Khaine]], sensed an opportunity for strife. Sending a scorpion made from one of his iron fingers down, Ulthanesh was stung and the scorpions venom nearly brought him to death. However Ulthanesh would survive, and realized it had been with no aid from Eldanesh. Seeing that he no longer needed Eldanesh's protection, he founded the House of Ulthanesh and the age of division for the Eldar began.<sup>1c</sup>
But with Khaine still at his side, Eldanesh continued to vanquish the foes of the Eldar. Khaine met with Eldanesh and promised him not only many more great victorious but lordship over all mortal life if he swore an oath of loyalty to the war god. However Eldanesh cared not for the bloody future of Khaine's dreams and refused, causing an enraged Khaine to strike down Eldanesh with the sword of [[Vaul]] and begin the [[War in Heaven]].<sup>1e</sup> During the war, the houses of Eldanesh and Ulthanesh would unite once more to fight the war god.<sup>1f</sup>
