'''Asurmen''' is said to have been the first [[Eldar]] [[Phoenix Lord]]. He was the founder of the [[Path of the Warrior]] and he created the first shrine of [[Asur]], the [[Dire Avenger]] shrine, which was to grow into the most wide-spread of the [[Aspect]]s. Asurmen's name means ''"The Hand of [[Asuryan]]"'' and it was he who led the Eldar race away from their doomed homeworlds at the time of the [[Fall of the Eldar]].
== History ==
AsurmenBorn '''Iliathin's name means ''"The Hand , the Eldar who would become Asurmen was born on the world of [[AsuryanEidafaeron]]. Before the [[Fall of the Eldar]]"'' and it , he was he skeptical of the prophecies of doom being spread by those who led would become the [[Exodite]]s. Iliathin's brother [[Tethesis]] wanted to join the Exodites but his skeptical sibling refuses to take part. Once the Doom of the Eldar race away from came, Ilaithin and his brother both somehow survived the calamity and waged a desperate struggle for survival amid the ruins of their doomed homeworlds world, now overrun with [[Daemon]]s. When Tethesis is possessed by a Daemon, Iliathin is forced to kill him. Afterwards, he manages to find shelter at an old temple which Daemons do not venture near due to the time lingering presence of the [[Fall of Eldar God]]s.{{Fn|5}} Contemplating suicide, Iliathin lives alone in the temple for several years but is saved by an Eldar feral child [[Jain Zar|Faraethil]]. Though initially shunning the girl, later when Faraethil is assaulted by [[Dark Eldar]], Iliathin renames himself '''Asurmen''' after the god [[Asur]] and saves her. After Asurmen agrees to take the girl as his disciple and they leave the Fallplanet, eventually gathering more like-minded followers.{{Fn|5}} Asurmen and his followers landed on a barren world and renamed it [[Asur]]. There, he founded the first of the Aspect shrines, the Dire Avengers, which have become the most common of all the warrior Aspects.{{Fn|1a}} Asurmen established the [[Asurya]], who went on to open new Aspect Shrines across the stars.{{Fn|2}}
He has traveled to more [[craftworld]]s than any other Phoenix Lord, teaching those Eldar who wanted to learn, and has founded more shrines than any other Phoenix Lord. The greatest of his students went on to found their own Aspect shrines and became Phoenix Lords themselves.{{Fn|1a}} Soon after the inception of the Aspect Shrines, the Hand of Asuryan vanished, but tales of his deeds continue to be reported. Experiencing various deaths but being reborn again thanks to his armor, notably at the hands of the [[Keeper of Secrets]] [[N'Kari]]{{Fn|3}}, he has been rumored slaying the agents of [[Chaos]] in the [[Eye of Terror]] to the [[Eastern Fringe]]. His actions have even become legends to the lesser races.{{Fn|2}}
