Actually the Eldar were hoping to keep the Necron menace in slumber. They took measures to ensure that the Necron Tombs did not activate. Essentially while the necrons were sleeping they were not a threatl. However if theEldar attacked the sleeping tombs they would awakne the Necrons within, and be forced to fight them. Really if the Fall had never occured ti is possible that the Eldar could have kept the Necrons in stasis forever.
