'''Ul-Khari''' is an [[Eldar]] [[Craftworld]] that was traveling through the with a long history intertwined their former [[Maiden World]] [[Gilead SystemAral'dha]] when within the [[Great RiftGilead System]] was created.{{Fn|1}}
While the Ul-Khari was traveling along the system's edge, the [[Great Rift]] tore open and ejected a frozen [[Hive World]] hurled directly in the path of the craftworld. With no time to evade, the aeldari vessel crash-landed on [[Trollius]], a long-dead world haunted by unknown terrors.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}} ==Overview==The Asuryani of Ul-Khari are largely defined by their present struggle. Tenacity in the face of hardship, loss, and scarce resources. The many orange banners fluttering in the cold wind and frozen environment gives their home an impression of an autumnal forest. Much of the outer sections of their vessel have become like graveyards, abandoned to consolidate in the more habitable and warmer interior sections.{{Fn|2c}} The Ul-Khari Asuryani have garnered an unjust reputation for cruelty. The recent hard times require every action to be weighed against available resources. Rather than wasting resources they don't have attacking a hard target that will pose little threat in a prophecy, they often strike currently vulnerable ones that will assuredly become a significant threat in the future. Such as obliterating an isolated group of [[guardsmen]] long before they are prophesied to cause a major daemonic incursion.{{Fn|2c}} ==History== ===Trollius===This proved to be disastrous for Ul-Khari, as the giant [[Warp Storm]] caused the long-dead and frozen [[Hive World]] [[Troilus (Hive World)|TroilusTrollius]] to suddenly appear in front of the Craftworld. With no time to evade TroilusTrollius, Ul-Khari crashed into the Hive World, which resulted in the Craftworld being seriously damaged due to a devastating impact on the Hive World's surface.{{Fn|1}} Now Ul-Khari lingers there half-buried within the ice and permanently fused to its surface, so the only way to separate the stone from the [[wraithbone]] is to smash Troilus Trollius to pieces. Almost half of Ul-Khari was ruined beyond recognition in the collision. A significant portion of Ul-Khari's population survived the crash and now struggle to live on and pick up the pieces of their shattered Craftworld.{{Fn|2b}} Although they can depart their wrecked home through the [[webway]], doing so would comdemn untold numbers of souls within the craftworld's [[infinity circuit]] to greedy [[human]]s and hungry [[daemon]]s.{{Fn|3a}} Although the asuryani of Ul-Khari are isolationists who would normally have no allies in a human-controlled system, they are now forced to work with lesser species to defend and repair their craftworld, while also preserving the Gilead system from [[Chaos]] and [[She Who Thirsts]].{{Fn|3a}} Ul-Khari's [[farseer]]s have struck a deal with the local [[rogue trader]] [[Jakel Varonius]]. Much to the chagrin of the diminished local [[Inquisition]], the details of this agreement remain unknown.{{Fn|1b}} Curiously, though Troilus Trollius is a Hive World, the Eldar of Ul-Khari have found its [[Hive]]s to be empty and there is no sign of what became of its previous population.{{Fn|11a}} There can be found icy statues of the former human inhabitants around some hives. Their last terrified moments preserved, flash frozen mid-stride, as if they were all fleeing from something. The most immediate threat to the craftworld is the environment. The unnatural ice of the dead hive world is malign and alive. It is psiThe name given to it by the Asuryani rendered in [[Low Gothic]] is [[Winter's Last Cry]], a more literal translation would be 'the final howl of a doomed season, killing as it dies'. The [[Tyranid]]s trapped under the ice are a fairly lower concern than the ice itself.{{Fn|2c}} Daemons lurk on the warp-infused world and they hunger for the prize of [[soul stone]]s within the vulnerable ship. Although the Asuryani still have war machine and elite warriors at their disposal, if it wasn't for the intervention of Princess Greensteel and Rogue Trader Varonius, they would have been overrun by [[Dark Apostle]] [[Marloquence]] during the [[Tide of Red Frosts]].{{Fn|3a}}
==World Rune==
The ''World Rune'' world-rune of [[Craftworld]] Ul-Khari has always underpinned their inherent persistence and tenacity in the face of hardship, even before the current crisis. With a few subtle alterations to the rune's elegant strokes is a glyph that now means : ''"We will not be forgotten."''. This further expresses the reality of their new situation and hope for change.{{Fn|2b2d}}
