Ulthwé Forces under [[Eldrad Ulthran]] attempted to stem the tides of [[Chaos]] shortly after the [[13th Black Crusade]] by launching an ambitious plan at the [[Battle of Port Demesnus]] in order to resurrect [[Ynnead]].{{Fn|}} The plan failed to resurrect the nascent god.{{Fn|18}}
Ulthwé would usher [[Yvraine]] and her [[Ynnari]] in a hyperspatial tunnel across the galaxy in a risky psychic ritual at the urging of [[Eldrad Ulthran]], turning the [[Dome of the Crystal Seers|Crystal Seer]]s away from their tasks within the infinity circuit and worse would cause three [[Farseer]]s to turn to crystal and worse. The Seer council turned against Eldrad, exiling him, and urged the Ynnari to waith for [[Ul-Khari]] to retrieve the [[Crone Sword]]s – [[Kyasduras|Kyasduras the Anchorite]] singularly ended the discussion launching Ynnari-aligned forces into the [[Eye of Terror]].{{Fn|14a}} Ulthwé, not assured by the new cult, continued it's fight against [[Chaos]] launching strike-forces to aid [[Imperial]] engagements within the [[Eye of Terror]].{{Fn|14b}}
Shortly after the formation of the [[Great Rift]], Ulthwé itself [[Battle of Ulthwe|came under assault by Daemons]].{{Fn|20a}} Though victorious over the Daemons, Ulthwé was left reeling after the attack and now is in the midst of civil strife. Three factions have emerged dominant on the Craftworld. The first and largest of these are the [[Seer Council]], which continues to dispatch forces to stem the tides of Chaos along the Great Rift. The second group known as '''[[The Exiles]]''' is led by [[Eldrad Ulthran]] and is heavily involved with the growing cult of [[Ynnead]]. The third and final group are the Ulthwé Eldar who have joined the [[Ynnari]].{{Fn|21a}}
