Changes

The '''Exodites''' are the [[eldarAeldari]] who abandoned their homeworlds before the [[Fall of the Eldar|Fall]], establishing new cities on [[Maiden Worlds]] of the [[Eldar Empire]] in order to escape the growing decadence of their civilizationcivilisation.{{Fn|10}} Protected from [[Slaanesh]]'s predation by their [[World Spirit]]s, they purposefully live a physically rigorous life{{Fn|2a}}, expressing the intensity of their [[Aeldari]] aeldari nature through a powerful loyalty to their clans and a strong determination to achieve the clan's objectives.{{Fn|20}} They are known for the martial superiority of their [[Dragon Knights]].{{CME}}

Beginning in [[M30]]{{Fn|7}} as the Eldar Empire neared its Fallend, the degeneration of Eldar society leading to the Fall did not go wholly without resistance. Far-sighted individuals began to criticize the decadence of their citizens and warn against the newly formed cults{{Fn|2b}} and the abandonment of the [[Eldar Gods]].{{Fn|17}} Mostly ignored or else treated as narrow-minded fools and fanatics by their fellow citizens, as society collapsed they became resolute that this would be a decline without end.{{Fn|2b}} They were the ones still untainted by the touch of [[Chaos]], and by now they were few.{{Fn|10}} They would form a new group of doomsayers and survivalists, deciding to leave the Eldar worlds and settle planets far from Eldar civilization civilisation among the ''Lilaethan'', the Maiden Worlds{{Fn|2b}} seeded at the height of the empire by ''Turella Dandramensha'' ([[Dominion Genesis]]) ships,{{Fn|19}} abandoning their homeworlds in a series of migrations called the ''Exodus''{{Fn|2b}} and for their exodus they were named '''Exodites'''.{{Fn|19}}

The first Exodites would launch from [[Hiron-athela]]{{Fn|18}} and an assortment of spacecraft would follow, including craftworlds [[craftworld]]s built from the habitat towers, domes, and [[Webway]] pylons that would become the foundation of new cities.{{Fn|19}} The Exodites would also bring with them the tremendous war-machines of the [[Eldar Knights]].{{Fn|20}} The Exodites travelled far away from their collapsing civilizationcivilisation, mostly [[Eastern Fringe|eastward]], settling many, often harsh, worlds – a place of safety (for most) beyond the psychic implosion that would wipe out most of the Eldar race and its empire{{Fn|2b}} in [[M31]].{{Fn|7}}
