'''{{PAGENAME}}''', also known as '''Lanthrilaq the Swift''' or idiogramatically "The Swift One",{{fn|2a}} was an Eldar hero of legend and leader of people who fought with [[Khaine]] as well as [[Jaeriela]], [[Ulthanash]] and [[Eldanesh]] against the [[Yngir]].
Lanthrilaq was one of the hundred heroes for whom [[Vaul]] had been charged to forge blades by Khaine, in a bargain to free [[Kurnous]] and [[Isha]] from Khaine's dungeons, but was given a faulty sword instead of a life-restoring [[Blade-Wraith]] and the result of which was the doom of the heroes.
After seven days and nights of fighting the [[Necrontyr]], Lanthrilaqs sword dulled and he grew tired and broke formation, giving [[Kaelis Ra]] the Deathbringer an opening to erupt from the earth and slay Lanthrilaq and many of his compatriots – turining their souls forever to dust.
'''The Legend of Lanthrilaq''' is kept within the [[Arcadia (Eldar)|Arcadian Librarium]] alongside was hidden the majority of his faulty [[Blade-Wraith]], which was reunited with the that [[Lavena|Lavena the Joyful]] had found and re-forged it into the blade ''[[Vairocanum]]'' "The Touch of Death"{{Fn|2b}}, now reborn the Lanthrilaq's Blade now resides within [[Craftworld]] [[Biel-tan]].{{Fn|2c}}
