*'''[[Eldanesh]]''', the first of the [[Aeldari]]{{Fn|6}} and greatest mortal hero of the Eldar{{Fn|5a}} Together with his brother [[Ulthanesh]] he fought against the [[Yngir]] with [[Khaine]],{{Fn|10}} and against [[Khaine]] in the mythic [[War in Heaven (Eldar)|War in Heaven]].{{Fn|5d}} The Red Moon of the original Aeldari [[Homeworld]] was known as '''Eldanesh the Red Moon''' and was supposedly created from the bloody body of the Eldar Lord after his death at the hand of [[Kaela Mensha Khaine]] (or [[Kaelis Ra]] by Khaine's failure){{fn|27b}} – red moons remains a portent of disaster in [[Aeldari]] culture.{{Fn|3}} Eldanesh had many descendents, the [[Eldanar]]{{Fn|21d}} who inherited [[Anaris]] - although the line would end with [[Inriam the Young]]{{Fn|21d}} who would lose the blade in the [[Sea of Broken Tears]].{{Fn|2a}}*'''[[Jaeriela]] the Thrice-Blessed''' fought against the [[Yngir]] with [[Khaine]]{{Fn|10}} but was slain when [[Kaelis Ra]] realized the Great Trick of [[Cegorach]] and turned infuriated back to the [[Aeldari]] – not yet equiped with the [[Swords of Vaul]].{{Fn|1027b}}*'''[[Lanthrilaq]] the Swift''', who fought against the [[Yngir]] with [[Khaine]]{{fn|10}} but was slain by [[Kaelis Ra]] after he had been given the one false [[Sword of Vaul]] of the hundred crafted for [[Khaine]].{{Fn|10}}*'''[[Ulthanesh]]''', or '''Ulthanash''', [[Eldar]] brother of [[Eldanesh]].{{Fn|5a}} Together with his brother he fought against the [[Yngir]] with [[Khaine]]{{Fn|10}} and against Khaine in the mythic [[War in Heaven (Eldar)|War in Heaven]]{{Fn|5d}} but was slain by [[Kaelis Ra]] after the discovery of the false [[Sword of Vaul]].{{Fn|27b}} The descendents of Ulthanash are alive today, their bloodline resting on [[Iyanden]].{{Fn|21d}}

Then came [[Aza'gorod|Kaelis Ra the Deathbringer]], and none could stand against it. Populations fell before its scythe, with those that died losing even their souls{{fn|10}} and the Death-Bringer itself portended the demise of the [[Eldar]].{{fn|2727a}} But the gods of the Eldar had other strengths than pure might, the Eldar and [[Cegorach|The Greatest Among the Soul-Dancers]] convinced many of the [[C'tan]] to turn on eachother{{fn|10}} even against Kaelis Ra.{{fn|2727a}} Whilst the Deathbringer slaked its unquenchable thirst on the Yngir{{fn|10}} and laid waste to the stars themselves to bring the traitorous C'tan into line,{{Fn|2727a}} [[Khaine]] consulted [[Cegorach]] and his [[Harlequins]] for their wisdom and advice.{{Fn|2727a}} The Bloody-Handed god struck a bargain with [[Vaul]] the Smith God: In exchange for the release of [[Kurnous]] and [[Isha]] from Khaine's dungeons Vaul would forge one-hundred swords for the war against the Yngir.{{Fn|10}} In time Kaelis Ra saw that he had been misdirected by Cegorach's Great Trick and his platinum hoards depleted, infuriated he turned once more agains the Aeldari slaying [[Jaeriela]].{{fn|27b}}

Thus the [[Blade-Wraith]]s,{{Fn|10}}{{Fn|2727a}} the legendary '''Swords of Vaul''', were created{{Fn|10}} and Khaine with rage incandescent in his soul{{fn|2727a}} led his heroes to war once more{{Fn|10}} and to a final stand.{{fn|2727a}} One hundred Eldar, each armed with a Blade-Wraith which reinvigorated their soul after every blow and fighting in an impenetrable circle,{{Fn|10}} faced the hordes of silvered{{Fn|2727a}} [[Necrontyr]]{{Fn|10}}{{Fn|2727a}} so vast the horizons glittered like the heavens{{fn|2727a}} and knew no dread{{fn|10}} and no fear.{{fn|2727a}} The heroes fought for seven days and nights never tiring or falling back before a fault was discovered, [[Lanthrilaq]]'s sword was blunt and did not restore his stamina{{fn|10}} causing the hero to falter, suddenly tired his face pale and his features gaunt.{{Fn|26}} In an explosion of darkness his blade-wraith cracked falling from his hands{{Fn|26}} and causing the ring of warriors to break – [[Vaul]] had cheated Khaine{{Fn|10}} and tricked the Eldar for one of his blades was imperfect and flawed and energies within it were imbalanced and unstable.{{Fn|26}}

From beneath the ground the Nightbringer, [[Kaelis Ra]] emerged and slew many great warriors{{Fn|10}} one after the other, valiant in their desperate and futile fight{{fn|26}} [[Eldanesh]] was first to die,{{Fn|27}} then [[Ulthanash]] was slain by the scyhe of Kaelis Ra,{{Fn|27b}} condemning their souls to an eternity of dust. {{fn|10}} The thousands of silvering necrontyr overran their position, their blades were shattered and ruined falling into the river of blood.{{fn|26}} Only Khaine stood above the fray, his spear flashing like lightning.{{Fn|26}} Nearing the point of his own exhaustion{{fn|26}} Khaine and the Deathbringer battled, spear and scythe clashing, Khaine was a great warrior but his blade could not cut shadow itself. Seeing Khaines death with certainty, Kaelis Ra struck for Khaine's throat but, heeding the advice of [[Cegorach]],{{Fn|10}}{{Fn|26}} Khaine danced inside the blow{{Fn|26}} and lunged into the attack seizing on the moment of corporeality.{{Fn|10}}
