Craftworld Altansar is a craftworld that has a penchant for surviving against near impossible odds. Back during the fall, when the Eldar were busy making snuff porn videos 24/7, Altansar ended up being one of the last craftworlds to leave the empire. However, they were thought lost after being outright swallowed by the Eye of Terror.
The Pheonix Lord Maugan Ra was thought to be the only survivor, and being atypical of his entire race, barged through the Eye of Terror and saved their space elf asses in the aftermath of Abbadabbadoo's 13th Temper Tantrum and the Great Rift. Despite being saved, many Eldar distrust the Altansari because they think there is no way they can't be somewhat corrupted by Chaos.
History[edit]
Altansar got its start just like all the others; a craftworld fleeing just in time to avoid being tentacle raped by Slaanesh. However, Altansar had the misfortune of being way closer to the Eye of Terror than even Ulthwe, so the gravity well of the warp rift began to swallow them in. Altansar put up a ferocious fight, but in the end they were swallowed up by unreality leaving Maugan Ra as the sole survivor. After this, all contact was thought lost with Altansar, and for 10,000 years nobody heard from them again.
Enter the Great Rift, which conveniently left open a hole in the Eye of Terror where Altansar should be. Maugan Ra grabs his Eldar LMG, rips and tears until he finds his home, and leads the whole craftworld out of the Eye of Terror, finally freeing them from the evil of Chaos. They don't get a warm welcome though, since pretty much every other craftworld holds them at gunpoint due to thinking of them as little more than a trojan horse for Slaanesh. The Altansari have aligned themselves with the Ynnari, which is either a good sign or extremely terrible depending on your perspective. Lately they've been fighting alongside the Imperium, with their forces fighting the Planet Killer at Sangua Terra.
Culture[edit]
Altansar literally means "The Broken Chain" in Aeldari, an almost on the nose reference to their seperation for 10,000 years. Altansar is notable for being silent and aloof speaking only in whispers. They also never remove their masks to strangers from other craftworlds. This is bound to make visits to anyone even from any other Eldar feel extremely awkward, creeped out, and uncomfortable with every Altansari staring at their guests with wholly unreadable and expressionless masks on. Funnily enough, the Pink Soldiers from Squid game have the same color scheme as the Altansari, which is almost certainly a total coincidence.
The other thing about Altansar is that they are really fucking good at killing Daemons. They also fight to their last dying breath in their 9th edition rules. which further suggesting that Altansar are the closest Eldar get to an army of Doomslayers. In fact, it is this daemonslaying expertise combined with their alliance with the Ynnari, that keeps the usually hatful, paronoid and xenophobic Imperium of man from trying to blow them off the map immediately. Altansar happens to be extremely close proximity to holy Terra as you can see and the powers that be figure it's better to let some space pansies chill nearby killing Chaos rather than needlessly waste time trying to make enemies where none need be made. A refreshing outlook for the Imperium to have, and a welcome turn of events for the already isolated Altansari. What their Ynnari allies think of them is hardly elaborated on. They also seem to be the next faction getting a supplement.
