Editing Resurgent Eldar Empire (section)

===Early M41===
* Waaagh! Gnarlgut returns, savaging several systems before being turned away by a vast ghost legion of wraith constructs.
* Many Corsairs begin establishing satellite abodes beyond the established borders of the Empire. They are bawdy and lawless by craftworlder standards, and continually draw the Empire into squabbles with minor powers. They also begin to employ a great many alien mercenaries.
*Savaged by a sustained conflict with a Necron Dynasty, Craftworld Kher-Ys arrives in Imperial space.
* Eldar raiders are reported to be preying upon Princedom Worlds across the northern fringe of the Empire. Blame falls immediately upon the Dark Kin of Commorragh, and Lugganath becomes mediator to a frenzied debate.
* The first forays into the use of automated, non wraith-guided constructs are made in secret, based on designs scrapped together in trade with various Webway States.
* The Masque of the Frozen Stars reenacts the War in Heaven before the citizenry of Iybraesil. The final scene, foreshadowing the birth of She Who Thirsts, is suspiciously absent, and the Masque departs before the Craftworld realizes that they have left the performance unfinished. Whispered rumours and speculations spread throughout the Empire. 
* Princess Saarania of the Void Dragons returns from a long sojourn abroad. Minor Princes scrabble for the attentions of the haughty pirate queen, resulting in a rash of minor border scuffles. 
* A potent psychic signal from the direction of the Jade Empire flares across the Empire, disrupting several important scryings. The Seers of Iyanden and Iybraesil make attempts to investigate the cause, and keep their findings to themselves.
* A gaggle of Telennaran Rangers, disfigured and incurably insane, are discovered by a regular patrol across the borders of a Corsair Princedom. They are interred into the peace of their Craftworld's Infinity Circuit and steps are taken to fortify the northern fringe.
* A trio of silent Craftworlds are reported upon the northern borders of the Empire. The local Princes quickly realize that the abandoned Craftworld of Ulthwe is among them. A state of emergency is declared as news spreads across the Empire and warhosts from across the Imperial territories converge upon the northern fringe.
* Pouring from the stolen vessels, a horde of Crone World Eldar, hailing from deep within the Eye of Terror, descend upon the Empire, bringing the spectral servants of She Who Thirsts with them. The combined Corsair Princedoms are hard pressed to hold their ground, even with Saarania and her legendary fleet present, and resort to using their Custodian Hosts as cannon fodder to stem the baleful tide. The ruins of Ulthwe broadcast a veil of psychic horror over its surrounding system, damaging morale and filling the dreams of nearby Eldar with fevered visions of the Old Empire's ritual atrocities.
* Imperial morale suffers a further blow when the warleader of the enemy reveals himself on the surface of Quelaash, a thriving Paradise World. An Eldar boy of stunning beauty, he strikes down Prince Sargonesse of the Errant Moons and Prince Illaren of the Storm Host with but a touch each. Corsair forces abandon the planet to the enemy, hastily glassing its largest continental mass in order to deprive their foes of its bounties. Declaring himself the rightful Prince of the Eldar Empire, the enemy commander retires to Ulthwe, letting his fleet ravage across the surrounding systems.
* The warhosts of Mymeara, Iyanden, and Biel-Tan arrive in the sector, alongside their auxiliary Custodian forces. They are able to bring the local Corsairs back into form and begin to push back the enemy fleet, preventing it from making landfall on several tactically valued worlds. Their efforts are disrupted when, in a base act of betrayal, Prince Raegathiel of the Solar Spears perverts the Webway gate upon his throneworld. The planet is enveloped in a sea of flame, daemons swarming its surface and severely hampering the passage of supplies to Iyanden and Mymeara's warhosts. Raegathiel is bathed in the corrupting energies of the Warp and ascends into something terrible to look upon.
* Finding themselves once again losing ground, the Imperial Eldar are approached by the combined Masques of the Dreaming Shadow, the Midnight Sorrow, and the Soaring Spite, alongside a courier of Lugganath, who propose a daring offensive. The majority of Mymeara and Iyanden's forces, alongside several Corsair Fleets, turn upon Raegathiel's domain, now a weeping sore from which daemonkind pours in droves, devoting the fullness of their might to his destruction. Biel-Tan's warhost and the majority of the remaining Corsair forces make for the ruins of Ulthwe, the Harlequins alongside them.
* Mymeara's Titan Legions spearhead the assault upon Raegathiel's throneworld while the beleaguered forces of Biel-Tan, the Void Dragons, and the combined Masques assault Ulthwe. Few of Mymeara's storied giants survive, most laying down their lives to ensure that the Eldar penetrate their former ally's inner sanctums, where they are faced with Daemon Prince Raegathiel. On Ulthwe, the Eldar fight without heed for their own survival, battling through a storm of psychic horror to reach the throne room of their foe. The Imperial forces valiantly hold the line, suffering extraordinary casualties, as the Solitaries of all three Masques engage the enemy warleader in combat. Freshly ascended and unprepared to face the full force of two major warhosts, Raegathiel is banished by the Void Sabre of Prince Olorinn, the attendant Voidseers to his fleet giving their lives to close the Warp-rift Raegathiel tore across his throneworld. Meanwhile, the Solitaires, for all their supernatural skill and strength, can only distract the uncanny youth in command over Ulthwe. This distraction is all Princess Saarania requires to drive an ancient offering knife of the Old Empire, delivered by Lugganath, deep into the corrupted Infinity Circuit of the Craftworld. Space buckles and twists and the battle becomes a race against time to escape as Ulthwe is drawn back into the Realms of Chaos, many Eldar choosing to stand and fight so that their kin can flee.
* In the aftermath of the conflict, a grave council is called, and greater importance is bestowed upon the task of monitoring the goings-on of Chaotic space, the ruling Seer Councils of the Craftworlds concluding that the Empire had become dangerously myopic and complacent as a result of its recent fortunes. Though his true nature is never divined, the Empire remembers its new foe as the Prince of Thorns, for the venomous, hallucinogenic briars that sprung up across Quelaash in his wake.
