ANHRATHE

The Anhrathe, or Aeldari Corsairs, are bands of Aeldari who fall into a middle ground between the rigid Asuryan Paths of the Asuryani and the hedonistic depravity which fuels the Kabals of Commoragh. Rather than either of these ideas, Anhrathe relish freedom above all else, indulge in what they are passionate about, and seek lives that lack routine or safety in the name of what destiny shall bring. Groups of these freedom-seeking daredevils are often known as Coteries, with each Coterie being quite unique from one another. No matter how small a Corsair fleet may be, they are still agile and elegant warriors, with imaginative tactics to boot. They relish in using skills they once learned before becoming Corsairs in their combat prowess, whether that be the dirty tactics of the Drukhari or the well-trained techniques of the Asuryani.

Coteries are nearly always led by a Corsair Prince or Princess, a fierce and cutthroat individual who truly deserves the ranking of captain. The most well known Corsair Prince across the stars is Yriel, Prince of the Eldritch Raiders. Yriel heralds from Craftworld Iyanden, a Craftworld stricken with suffering and misfortune since the Fall. He exiled himself from the Craftworld when he became a Corsair, but when what he once considered home was facing destruction at the hands of a Tyranid Hive Fleet, he returned with his Eldritch Raiders to destroy the threat entirely. He is an odd case in which he is still considered an Autarch of Craftworld Iyanden, though he has never had notable experience within any of the Paths of War. Rather, his experience in the Path of the Mariner allows him to hold this commanding position.
