'''The Shattering''' is a term used to refer to the attack by the [[Emperor's Children]] on the [[Eldar]] [[Craftworld]] [[Lugganath]] in 764.[[M34]].{{Fn|1}}

The events that would lead to the battle began when [[Sylandri Veilwalker]] secretly contacted the [[Emperor's Children]] [[Apothecary]] [[Oleander Koh]] and instructed him to make contact with [[Fabius Bile]] and together orchestrate an attack on [[Lugganath]] in concert with the powerful [[Chaos Lord]] known as the [[Radiant King]]. Veilwalker's reasons for doing this are unknown, save that she states that it would prevent many more Eldar deaths in the future. Oleander was successful in recruiting Bile, who wished to steal Eldar technology to unlock their secrets of immortality. The two were equally successful in convincing the twisted Radiant King to join their effort, for a [[Craftworld]] proved an irresistible prize and the Chaos Lord hoped its sacking could elevate him to [[Daemon Prince|Daemonhood]].{{Fn|3}}

Seeing the terrible devastation, the [[Autarch]]s of Lugganath authorized the use of [[Hemlock Wraithfighter]]s, eventually causing the Emperor's Children to retreat. During their withdrawal, they were pursued every step by vengeful [[Harlequin]]s. The Harlequins and Lugganath [[Warlock]]s were able to surround and isolate the Radiant King, cutting him down before he could turn into a [[Daemon Prince]] after gorging on a great many [[Spirit Stone]]s.{{Fn|3}}
