An Eldar Guardian of Craftworld Iybraesil
Iybraesil is one of the lesser-known Eldar Craftworlds. Being located close to the Eye of Terror, the Eldar of Iybraesil constantly wage war against the Forces of Chaos in their quest to secure both Spirit Stones and any lost technology of the ancient Eldar empire on the long lost Crone Worlds deep within the Eye. The world-rune of Iybraesil, known as "Wisdom of Pain" and also the "Hand of Heg", is a reference to the Eldar myth wherein Morai-Heg, the Crone, persuaded the war god Khaela Mensha Khaine to sever her hand so that she could drink of the wisdom of her own blood. The Eldar of Iybraesil make frequent references to this act, claiming that no knowledge is truly claimed without sacrifice.
History
Iybraesil is a largely matriarchal Craftworld society, fostering many Howling Banshees shrines and female Autarchs. As followers of the blind Eldar Crone Goddess of the Underworld, Morai-Heg, the Iybraesil Eldar constantly aspire to recover the hidden secrets of the Crone Worlds, the original homeworlds of the lost Eldar empire which now reside within the Eye of Terror. Dutiful and fierce, the gifted Seers of the Craftworld labour long in their hunt for the hidden secrets of the Crone Worlds. They hope to secure not only the Tears of Isha, but also ancient technologies and doomsday artefacts that will allow them to tip the balance in the war for survival. The colours of Iybraesil are blue and white. The Iybraesil Craftworld can is usually located within the Segmentum Pacificus.
Notable Events
- Destruction of the Dark Eldar Fleet (107.M41) - Eldar spacecraft of Craftworld Iybraesil destroy a Dark Eldar fleet that had been ravaging the shipping lanes of the Javian Sub-Sector located in the Segmentum Obscurus.
