However, just as the Crusade began to fall to Tzeentch's might, a large strike force from the [[Craftworld]] [[Ulthwe]] arrived in the Sector without warning and began to push back the Chaos God's forces. The [[Eldar]] did not arrive to aid the Crusade against the forces of [[Chaos]] though. Instead, the Craftworld's [[Seer Council]] contacted the Crusade's commanders and told them they could not save the Stygius Sector and staying there would not aid the Imperium. Indeed, the Seer Council claimed the visions they had received, showed only the Crusade's destruction if they stayed and warned that Magnus knew this as well. Despite the mistrust the Imperium had for the Eldar, the Crusade's commanders agreed to retreat and evacuated what forces they could, as the Eldar's strike force acted as a rearguard against Tzeentch's hordes. Eventually though, the Crusade and Eldar were both forced to retreat and the Stygius Sector became the first of the domains, Tzeentch planned on claiming for itself.{{Fn|1}}
