Varantha

Varantha is a minor Craftworld of the Eldar. Varantha is also known as "Crown of our Steadfast Hopes". Varantha is known for the gems it crafts, the rare flowers it breeds, and for the beautiful metals its artisans works. Varantha hates Chaos with a white heat, and so have deployed many of its forces to combat its servants as well as to defend the Exodite Worlds from its taint.

Notable Events

 * The Fall of Karlsen (Date Unknown) - Varantha's warhost had held off Karlsen of the Night Lords in his raids on the Clavian Belt until the Ultramarines had arrived.
 * Luring the Beast (Date Unknown) - Varantha's Farseers had tricked and feinted to lure the Orks of WAAAGH! Chobog into falling on the Iron Hands' fortresses on Taira-Shodan instead of the Imperial and Exodite worlds around them.
 * The Shame of Arhendros (Date Unknown) - Varantha's warriors were able to drive Arhendros the Silken Whisper off the three worlds he had claimed for Slaanesh.
 * The Failed Rebellion (Date Unknown) - Varantha had balked the Word Bearers on Sahch V, the Craftworld's forces had unravelled their plans and made sure the great citadels and halls they would have built could never be. A Varantha Witchblade had cut down the Dark Apostle of the warband. Varantha wraithships had driven their battle-barges and strikers out of the system. And when the Word Bearers had broken free of the warp outside the Cadian Gate, ready for their final jump back to the Eye of Terror and sanctuary, it had been Varantha craft which had led the fleets of Ulthwé and Cadia, driving into the Chaos fleet like a bullet tearing into flesh.

Notable Locations
