The '''Black Library of Chaos''' (also known as just the '''Black Library''') is the [[Eldar]]'s repository of forbidden lore.
== History ==
The [[Craftworld]]s became the only surviving sources of their ancient knowledge after the [[Fall of the Eldar]]. As the Craftworlds have drifted apart, this knowledge has consequently become fragmented, and as some Craftworlds have become lost over the millennia, more knowledge has been lost with them.{{Fn|1}} The Library is the only source of the Eldar's knowledge concerning [[Chaos]] that has remained untouched. It was created by [[Cegorach]] (better known as the Laughing God), though for what purposes can only be guessed.{{Fn|2}}
===Location===
While it exists wholly within the webway, echoes of the Black Library persist within the [[materium]]. Some time after the opening of the Great Rift, the last of these traces in realspace were located at the western fringes of the [[Ghoul Stars]], within a triangle formed by the [[Grand Shrine of Asuryan ]] and the [[Exoditeworld]] worlds s of [[Syph ]] and [[Quilan]].{{Fn|5a}}
