They travel from Craftworld to Craftworld, keeping the legends and ancient history of the Eldar race alive through their dance, drama and martial performance. The Harlequins are both servants of the Laughing God - the only deity of their race to survive the mighty Fall - and custodians of the hallowed Black Library of Chaos.'''''<br>

==Overview==

Harlequins carry out several self-appointed duties since their first reappearance after the [[Fall of the Eldar]], the most central of which is putting on theatrical performances of [[Eldar History]].

Their belief system is intertwined with the Fall, as Cegorach is one of the few Eldar deities reckoned to have survived it in some way. The Harlequins believe that his intrinsic light-hearted personality ensured he kept his distance from the depravity and corruption that became [[Slaanesh]] and that he survives to this day, often taking the form of a Harlequin himself - with those that meet him in this guise only becoming aware of his presence after he has left.{{Fn|1}}
