A couple of things based on new lore:
1. Just an interesting tidbit, but as of the End and the Death, many Eldar survived on the Crone Worlds and formed their our faction before the traitors were pushed back into the Eye of Terror and wiped them out.
2. New lore as of Wild Rider has the Eldar being created by the Old Ones before the War in Heaven to fight against Warp entities.
We know this because they teamed up with Necrontyr (pre-necrons) to create vaults to lock away sections of the warp.
Oh wow, I haven't been keeping up with the more recent lore, thanks for the info.
Finally a dedicated channel about the BEST faction
As a Necron player, I disagree
The Eldar beat the Necrons during the war in heaven, we are the superior faction.
@lorescryer after fighting an exhausting war with the old ones? Yeah, we admit but that was a victory won because we fought your masters first. Now go and cope with Slaanesh and why the "inferior" Humans are the rulers of the galaxy and not you. Superior faction yet so heavily reliant on the Humans for their survival and if we decide to obliterate Terra with the celestial orrery, you will mourn the loss of the Humans
@justinianthegreat1444 Just take the L and go nap for another couple million years. 🧝♂️
Agreed, brother-asura!
Love this channel I just discovered. I love you call out the fact most fans only know the lore from memes and erroneous comments on the internet.
For the communication part there is also the fact that talking to a bunch of genocidal and racist race is also a big factor like that part with the Black Templars stopping Eldrad from awakening Ynnead fully and honestly that scene is enough to convince me that one of the only way for peace to happen is to literally destroy and probably genocide the Imperium of Man they are just too much of a liability for stability.
While it's true that many humans are completely consumed by their hatred, there are still some pragmatic enough to be useful allies. The incident on the crystal moon was actually between the deathwatch and Eldrad's forces, though the marine that was leading them may have been a Black Templar.
@@lorescryer Deathwatch, Black Templar. A Space Marine is still a Space Marine with just a slight and minor difference of profession at the end of the day though the guy leading them would rather have Chaos rule rather than trust a non-human also a mutated human. An Eldar can give the Imperium a secret that can take care of Chaos, but the Imperium would rather kill them aside with the Drukhari they apparently like them enough to "fix" the throne.
Though I might make a slight, not that big mind you, exception with the Grey Knights considering they returned some Spirit Stones to the Craftworld Eldar.
The inquisition tends to actually get along with some xenos, such as eldar, quite well.
Space marines aren't known for their open mindedness.
1. true
2. yes and no. The Great Old Ones were killed thus the eldar and the krorks failed their main goal. The Necorns were also fighting everyone not just the eldar where the eldar were allies with the kroaks until after the Necorns went to sleep which happenend after they enslaved the C'tons. Even the eldars themselves admitted that no one won The War of Heaven only that they gained the most from it
3. Their view is as complex as they are. They see them as both inferior/threat/potential ally but to say they respect humanity or don't react out of malice is wrong. They prefer humanity out of other races because the others are dangerous but they also attack plesasure worlds out of anger
4. Space Marines? Ease? Brother when was the last time they won a fight against a space marine?
5. They're a dying race because their population DECREASES with their most populated being the Drukhari
That's a lot to respond to.
On your second point, my point wasn't about who won the war in heaven, I was addressing the misconception that the eldar were handed control of the galaxy without effort on their part. The Eldar "won" the war in heaven because they were the last ones standing.
Your correct about your third point. When I said the Eldar respect humanity, I meant that they value human life to some extent, not that they see them as equals. However, I would not describe the Eldar reclaiming maiden worlds as malicious, from their perspective they are reclaiming territory that is rightfully theirs.
You're wrong about space marines beating aspect warriors, Eldar aspect warriors objectively outclass space marines.
The Eldar's population has remained consistent since the fall, there is no real threat of the Eldar race being totally destroyed, except if another cataclysmic event like the fall occurred.
@@lorescryer Black Library cannot make up their minds whether or not The Eldar are a dying race or stagnating. Gav Thorpe seems to believe in the former while Phil Kelly believes the latter for example.
Edit: Just elaborating. Nothing more, no objections from me. Nice work!
Thanks! 🧝♂️
@@lorescryer
1. Fair enough
2. Also correct to a degree
3. In specific areas? sure. Overall? Including their records? Lol no. The Invaders ended Idharae, World Eaters ended Tuonoetar, Space Wolves smacked Thuyela, a Scorpion exarch was killed by a ultramarine scout and a Phoenix Lord of the Striking Scorpions getting killed by a Dreadnought. the Siege of Alaitoc(worst written pile of crap) was just one chapter and a large number of Imperial Navy Warships while the eldar had three Phonenix Lords and an Avatar of Khaine, hell Khaine is a joke. The Space Marines has A WAY BETTER record
4. Consistently losing and dying. Lyanden is a prime example of this where they need to be saved almost every time
Of course space marines have a better record, they're the main characters. Novels aren't a great source of power scaling because the named characters are almost always going to win. If Iyanden's misfortunes prove the Eldar are a dying race, Biel-tan's constant victories prove the fall didn't really affect the Eldar very much.
Mon'keigh. Why are you making these videos glorifying those sniveling craftworlders? Surely you do not believe they are the best of the Eldar race? Surely you do not believe they are even the true Eldar? Who are the true Eldar you ask? Why, it is we of the Dark City, of course. However, I sense that you do not believe this, so I offer to be you guide and teacher. I know I can convince you of the truth.
I'm actually an Eldar in real life, I'm well acquainted with the dark kin. There is nothing you could say to convince me that the dark city's depravity and hedonism is preferable to the nobility and wisdom of the Craftworlds.
Obviously the path of the Ynnari is the only true path forward.
I don't think so, they're currently being hunted down by the Grey Knights.
Scurry back to your hole cousin
@@lorescryer aren't the Grey Knights focused on Chaos only?
