Dark Eldar were the original Eldar, leaving Craftworlders to be just transients, homeless bums wandering around looking for handouts. Dark Eldar were also the green eldar, meaning they spent their time recycling souls throughout the galaxy. Highly misunderstood, and as such, deemed evil. Torturing?, well we had to make sure each soul inside was worth saving.
Without any real background besides "Hey we're evil" it was fun for me to throw down some good one liners for all these years. Before you go and throw some of my dry humor around down at your local gamestore, please remember that telling long time eldar players this, tends to piss them off and create long arguements and many quotations from various eldar books and lore. Just smile and call them transients again, and remind them that dark eldar recycle souls, while craftworlders tend to pollute the galaxy while flying around in their floating garbage piles (full of dead souls).
Yesterday we were treated with Phil Kelly and Jes Goodwins take on the origins of the dark city Commorragh and the Fall of the Eldar race. Now we truly know why the dark eldar are so pushed towards evil. Here is installment 2.
