===The War in Heaven===
{{Main|Eldar Mythology#War in Heaven}}
[[Khaine]] bargained that he would release [[Isha]] and [[Kurnous]] if [[Vaul]] could produce one hundred perfect blades within a year.{{Fn|1a}} Vaul nearly acheived this task, when Khaine disguised in his aspect as [[Murekh]] the Scorpion{{Fn|3}} stung Vaul's hand preventing him from finishing the final blade. To conceal the shortfall, Vaul took an ordinary mortal blade and mixed it among his own works.{{CMEFn|1a}}
True to the deal Khaine freed Isha and Kurnous, and only after had escaped did Khaine realize Vaul's deception. Roaring with anger, Khaine began a war among the gods.{{Fn|1a}} Vaul finished the final sword, naming it [[Anaris]], and challenged Khaine but was defeated – and in his defeat crippled and chained to his anvil. The great falcon [[Faolchú]] spirited the blade to {{Fn|1b}} [[Eldanesh]] who himself challenged Khaine and was crushed in his hand, naming the war god '''Kaela Mensha Khaine''' the Bloody Handed Khaine and by [[Asurmen]]'s decree ending the War in Heaven. {{fn|1a}}
