→Overview
After years of isolationism, the ‘doom-courters’ of Ul-Khari who failed to heed the omens of annihilation have become stranded amidst vengeful, crystal ice — but adapted impressively well.{{Fn|2g}}
The Asuryani of Ul-Khari are largely defined by their present struggle and 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 been abandoned in order to consolidate within the more few surviving habitable and warmer interior sectionsdomes. The asuryani do what they can make make the craftworld feel less like a vacuous graveyard, rebuilding ruined [[wraithbone]] architecture structures to be more compact and comfortable, rather than readily distinct from the original monolithic and grandiosearchitecture. With so many dead and so much ruined by the crash, most Asuryani have been forced to retread old [[Path]]s for the survival of their craftworld, shunted into old roles they had abandoned long ago out of practical necessity.{{Fn|2c}}
Like most Asuryani galaxy-wide, Craftworld Ul-Khari has garnered an unjust reputation for cruelty amongst the lesser-races. 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. To an ignorant Imperial, such attack are viewed cruel and pointless. Regardless, Aeldari prophecy and early intervention has saved the Gilead system many times over and continues to do so.{{Fn|2c}}
