==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}} As such, the Black Library is guarded by [[Harlequin]]s such as those of the [[Masque of the Falling Moon]]{{Fn|9}} as well as the [[White Seer]]s.{{Fn|97b}}
Though most often mentioned in relation to its collection of chaotic lore, the Library contains other mysteries as well. It is said that knowledge of the fate of [[Arhra]], the fallen [[Phoenix Lord]], is contained within the vast archives of the Black Library, as is the nature of ancient "star gods" and more besides.{{Fn|5b}}
