Because of Ulthwé's enormous reliance on seers and warlocks, the Craftworld has found itself lacking in Aspect Warriors. To compensate, it maintains a highly trained standing army known as the [[Black Guardians]] because of the colour of their armour, dedicated to rapidly responding to the many attacks from the Eye of Terror. Thanks to this force, Ulthwé has survived years of constant attacks.{{cite this}}
One of the more famous and integral aspects of the Ulthwé Craftworld is that of the [[Seer Council]]. Formerly led by the now deceased [[Eldrad Ulthran]], the council both overtly and secretly interferes with other races in an attempt to steer fate in their favour. This has no doubt allowed Ulthwé to survive so long in such a perilous position. Part of this method means that attacks carried out by the Ulthwé may seem purposeless or as serving no immediate reason. They are instead often meant to influence events far in the future, which has given the Eldar the reputation of being capricious and random. According to [[Inquisitor]]ial [[Teachings on the Unholy|records]] based on Eldar intelligence reports, Ulthwé interferes in the affairs of other races more than any other Craftworld, and is said to be responsible for several devastating events in the [[Imperium]], including the [[Second War for Armageddon]], the [[Sanapan Scouring]], the [[Mortis Annihilation]] and the [[Third Coming of Orian]].{{Fn|15}}{{Fn|1616a}}
They are the only Craftworld known to grow [[Dreamstone]]s to protect their minds from Slaanesh during sleep.{{Fn|24}}
