the darndest mistake
==Overview==
They are outsiders, even among the Harlequins, and roam the universe alone, occasionally joining a masque for a single performance or battle as the fancy takes them. They almost always fight as individuals.{{Fn|3a3b}} They walk unseen and unnoticed even among other races, as they are said to be touched by the Great Harlequin directly, [[Eldar]] folk tales tell many accounts of a hero not realizing that instead with a Solitaire they met with Cegorach himself.{{Fn|1}} In the Harlequin masques, they play the part of Slaanesh, as all others who attempt to play this part are driven mad by the experience.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3b}}
The Solitaires seek out Eldar considered promising and able to survive the trial that all Harlequins must endure. Though they are capable of speech, they do not speak and are not spoken to, except in ritual form during a performance. It is said that any who accidentally addresses or touches a Solitaire is cursed, and would be better to take their own life outright.{{Fn|3b}}
