ASURYANI

The Asuryrani, also known as the Craftworld Eldar, are individual large groups of Aeldari who find home among the stars within giant ships known as Craftworlds. These Aeldari are those who had forseen the Fall of their brethren, so they voyaged through the final frontier to avoid damnation by Slaanesh. Though Craftworlds often have allyships with one another, there is no ultimate leader amongst the Aeldari. Rather, each Craftworld possesses their own form of leadership. The great Craftworlds themselves are able to traverse space through the use of the Webway, networks of extra-dimensional tunnels which graze the Warp that allow for surprisingly safe travel. Nearly every Asuryani follows a Path of the Eldar, a dedication to a specific craft in which they hyperfocus on that craft. They dedicate themselves to these paths in order to further deter Slaanesh's grip on their souls, as they become well-disciplined and avoidant of pleasure through this dedication.

Notable paths an Asuryani may take include the Path of the Warrior, the Path of the Seer, or the Path of the Outcast. The Path of the Warrior allows an Asuryani to become an Aspect Warrior, a paragon of battle devoted to a specific style of war. The Path of the Seer allows an Asuryani to invoke their psychic potential into potent abilities that can devastate opponents and provide great fortune to allies. Another important path is the Path of Command, a difficult road which often requires an Asuryani to have originally been on the Path of the Warrior, or at the very least, a Path of War. These Asuryani become Autarchs, leaders of Craftworlds who also often fight alongside their fellow Asuryani in battle when the time comes. Additionally, when an Asuryani dies, their soul is kept within a soulstone on their person, which can then be placed into a Wraith Construct. These machines allow an Asuryani to fight even after their final breath.
