adding a list of the young races
==Fate==
It would be the implacable onslaught of the C'tan combined with the mistakenly unleashed Warp-spawned perils that ultimately led to the Old Ones being defeated, scattered and destroyed.{{Fn|6a}} The surviving C'tan and Necrons had the pleasure of seeing the demise of the Old Ones' civilisation, whilst they themselves retreated into stasis until the cataclysm ended.{{Fn|1c}} In the power vacuum following the war, the lesser creations of the Old Ones such as Mankind were known to have continued to develop but in unforeseen ways.{{Fn|1a}} The mantle of galactic dominion would eventually pass to the Eldar, who had fought alongside the Old Ones during the war. This species would survive where the Old Ones did not and would see the Necrons depart into the Great Sleep after they had turned against the C'tan.{{Fn|6a}} Legends continued to speak of the Old Ones with the rune-singers of [[Craftworld]] [[Kaelor]] depicting the Webway as being a construct of this ancient progenitor race who used it to travel through the stars.{{Fn|5}} It is rumoured that the Empathic Obliterator used by the [[Necron Lord]] [[Trazyn]] the Infinite may be constructed from technology designed by the Old Ones.{{Fn|6b}}
