Lilaethan means Maiden World in the Aeldari Lexicon. These worlds were originally chosen and terraformed to be paradise worlds by the ancient Aeldari at the height of their interstellar empire long before The Fall, and subsequently the birth of She who Thirsts, tore their realm apart and fractured the survivors of their race. It is on one such world that our story takes place.

Yonah, a small Maiden World with a fierce (but relatively few in number) Exodite population, has recently been seen by the Farseers of multiple Craftworlds. The Skeins of Fate show a grand threat to the planet, which will soon be beset by multiple enemies. The complex threads of possibility have seemed to coalesce over this tiny planet for reasons unknown. Yet, such dire warnings cannot be ignored. With the help of the Harlequins, an ancient and massive Webway Gate on Yonah's surface has been reactivated, and the psychic call for aid has gone out. Who will answer said call, and what terrible enemies are set against them? Perhaps more importantly; why Yonah? What ancient eldritch secret does this Maiden World hold that causes the Seer Councils and the Harlequins to be drawn to its defense? None yet know the answers; but of one thing we can be sure... the peace and balance of this paradise world will soon be shattered, for in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.



Heya'! Been gone from the Guild a long time, but this is something I wanted to do years ago, and just never had the time or drive. As luck would have it, I've got plenty of time on my hands now, and the drive is reignited! The general conceit of this roleplay is that we will be playing characters from all walks of Aeldari life, from Asuryani Aspect Warriors and Ghost Warriors to Ynnari weirdos, and even Exodite Dragon Riders! Very few Aeldari units will be off-limits, as I want the scale of this to be pretty large. This Maiden World is in for some serious warfare!

Players are encouraged also to make a character that commands a small force, as once again the scale of this rp will be pretty big.




Happy to answer any questions and will be working on getting the actual threads up! Oh and... tagging the OG pals who I suspect may still be interested, just in case. @Jb@Dead Cruiser@Andreyich

Potentially interested! Bit of a newer fan of 40k, sadly don't know all that much about Aeldari, but happy to read up and learn. When you say a "small force" what does that mean? Like a small army, or a squad, or...?

A squad would be best, but depending on the character concept you role with, something bigger may be warranted. A Farseer or Autarch, for instance, would likely be commanding a larger force, while an Exarch would just be commanding their squad of Aspect Warriors. Of course, you are very welcome to play a lone character also, such as an Exodite hunter or Dragon Rider or an Outcast!

If you have any Aeldari lore questions, ask away and I'll be happy to assist!

I think I would prefer to play a lone character, if possible. Would a Ranger work well for that? Stealthy lone sniper/scout, possibly working on the orders of someone else's higher ranking character?

A Ranger is an excellent choice for a loner character! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

You can play Drukhari on the condition that you be a genuine Ynnari convert, since the Drukhari wouldn't show up in realspace to defend an Exodite Maiden world under any other circumstances I can think of hahah. You can retain the brutality and tactics of the Drukhari (as well as the super cool wings of a Scourge) but keep in mind that those of other factions will look at you askance for being Ynnari, doubly so for having a Drukhari background! If you're cool with that, go for it!

ALSO, I will be making the Leaders of the separate faction warhosts, unless anyone else wants to lead a faction. (There will be a few requirements for that to weed out powerplayers/god modders.)

Sounds good! I just read up on the Ynnari real quick so if I get anything wrong on the character sheet lmk. Going for a kind of Eldar extremist.

Would it be possible for my character to lead a faction of scourges and drukhari converts? They could reside on Yonah already, perhaps having come to the world seeking alliance with the Exodites or sheltering there from other Drukhari.

Or they could be fleet based. Whichever works for you.

In terms of scales for factions are we doing hard numbers? Or just general estimates

So, regarding the Ynnari, the force has been sent by Yvraine herself, the Emissary of Ynnead, and the Ynnari Warhost will be lead by my character. Ynnari Warhosts are often comprised of squadrons of all sorts of Aeldari factions, including Drukhari, so your character could be the leader of the Drukhari detatchment of the Ynnari Warhost, if that makes sense! If that's the case, however, then your character and those in their service would have come to Yonah with the rest of the Ynnari force, through the Webway Gate.

In terms of scales for factions are we doing hard numbers? Or just general estimates

For the entire factions, general estimates; but if your character leads a squadron or a division of other Aeldari, I'd say harder numbers! You can always edit that into the character sheet skeleton. (I will likely be making a few edits to it myself, including Wargear and the like)

You're very welcome to! If you go for a Farseer, I'd like to communicate with you in DMs about some things your character will be sensing/experiencing!

Same goes for your Wraithseer, @Dead Cruiser!
