This The collision with with the rogue planet proved to be disastrous for Ul-Khari, as the giant [[Warp Storm]] caused by the [[Great Rift]]'s opening caused the long-dead and frozen [[Hive World]] [[Trollius]] to suddenly appear in front of the Craftworld. With no time to evade Trollius, 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 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}}

==Overview==
The Asuryani of Ul-Khari are largely defined by their present struggleand recent tragedy. 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. Many of the Asuryani have been forced to retread old [[Path]]s for the survival of their craftworld, shunted into new or old roles out of practical necessity.{{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}}
===The Call===
Most Ul-Khari Aeldari experience a psychic vision known as the Call at least once in their lives, with varying clarity and force. The details of the vision are clouded in metaphor and symbolism, but the [[Seer]]s have arrived to a consensus: something real and tangible from the ancient [[Aeldari Empire]] was lost in the Gilead System.{{Fn|2c}}
The prevailing theory espoused by Ul'Khari Seer [[Seleithe Taranlys]] is that whatever the Call is guiding Ul-Khari towards might help restore their Craftworld's [[Avatar]]. All aeldari factions in the Gilead System know of this preoccupation the Ul-Khari craftworlders have and will sometimes use it to their advantage, sending would of a strong lead so that craftworlder agents might be sent to help investigate.{{Fn|2c}}
==History==
===Trollius===
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}}
