Beginning in [[M30]]{{Fn|7}} as the Eldar Empire neared its end, 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 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}}
