Alenthrasis Craft World Fluff Part 1

Craftworld Alenthrasis is currently traveling between and defending the eldar exodite planets within the Orpheus System from both the Imperium and its enemies. Craftworld Alenthrasis, which literally translates to Retribution of the Morning, was renamed in year 38,931 from Killaq Ra'h, the Flare of the Dying Sun. This change occurred with the ascendance of Autarch Friouq who influenced the craftworld's seer council to take a more aggressive stance in the system. Friouq said that he had been visited by the long dead warriors of the craft world residing in the Infinity Circuit while he was centering his soul. These warriors told him that the sunset of the eldar was over and soon the morning would come and the eldar would once again ascend to their rightful place as rulers of the galaxy. As the Farseer Council meditated upon this vision Friouq disappeared into the webway in search of what he called Thrensis or Nova's Wrath; a weapon that would allow him to conquer all who stood in the way of the eldar's rightful place as rulers of the galaxy.

The Farseer Council decided to heed the dream of Friouq and renamed the Craftworld Alenthrasis. They redirected the craftworld's resources to train and maintain more aspect shrines and prepare themselves to defend the exodite worlds from oncoming Imperial, Tau, and Ork expansion. Bonesingers worked tirelessly to create new grav-tanks and wraithbone constructs. Warriors trained night and day to better hone their skills against the foes of Alenthrasis. Even the warlocks and farseers practiced their divination and precognitive skills to better assist their brothers in battle.

The farseers did well in their divination, saving the craftworld from not only direct assaults but really any concerted attacks whatsoever. The farseers were able to manipulate their foes against each other so that each was incapable of waging war against Alenthrasis.
