Warhammer 40k: Trapped Craftworld
“I hear the song of the celestial heavens, and the music is cacophonous. It is strange but I find comfort in its dissonance. Righting the discord of the universal opus is what’s given my people purpose when, by all rights we as a race should have collapsed in upon ourselves. It is in such moments when species find their greatness or settle back into the muck that spawned them... For myself I have purpose if only to correct one particular stray note in a symphony ran amok. Win or lose, this battle is already my victory, my triumph. It is now fate which decides whether I am there to celebrate that fact or not.”

Ages have passed by, the thousands of years we have traveled, I suppose it was destined for us to find a hardship as we had never faced. Trapped we are in this place our beautiful Craftworld Eexamath Buanneth (Forgotten Gathering) is, I suppose it was time that we must face that which we had wrought by our insistence on being spectators rather than partaking in the events of the Galaxy. This will be our crucible I suppose, the most terrible tasks we have ever undertaken. Our chances to survive are slim, but we must try. We must live on. We must show the Galaxy the Eldar are not going to go meekly away, and disappear. The Monkeigh challenge us at every turn, the traitors come forth from the birthing place of the one who Thirsts. What can we do, but stand before them. Farseer of Eexamath Buanneth
Your Craftworld is drifting, damaged by a sudden warstorm that has erupted in the sector. A mostly Imperium controlled sector you are faced with two choices, wait for the Warpstorm to abate, and hope that the Imperium can hold off the forces of Chaos and not turn their Ire upon the Eldar Craftworld, or take Initiative seeking out a Eldar world now under Imperium control. For it carries hidden technology capable of repairing the Craftworld quickly. Unfortunately this planet known by the Monkeigh as Kestess II is torn by war between the World Eaters, and the White Scars. It will be pertinent to avoid those that you can, while you will have to fight both in order to retrieve these artifacts that can save our Craftworld’s life and all the Eldar aboard it!
OOC
Welcome to the OOC of Trapped Craftworld, where each of the players will be taking on the role of a Aspect Warrior of some kind being sent from the Craftworld to Kestes II to retrieve ancient Eldar Artifacts in order to get their currently damaged Craftworld running again so that they can escape the warriors of Chaos that a Warpstorm is bringing into the System they are trapped in. It will be a tale of heroism, or tragedy depending on players choices as they move through this story and hopefully to succeed in saving their people. Read the rules below. Then read the CS Template and fill it out.
