"Only when you have soared through the morning skies on wings of flame can you understand the Hawk. Only when you have fallen screaming upon those who know they are already dead can you understand the Banshee. Only when you have annihilated those who would oppose you can you truly understand the power of the Dragon. And only one who has travelled but ultimately turned away from each of these paths can understand the Autarch."
- — Anthrillien Morningchild, Autarch of Yme-Loc
An Eldar Guardian of Craftworld Yme-Loc
Yme-Loc is a minor Craftworld of the Eldar located in the Segmentum Obscurus. They are not very well known throughout the galaxy. They are noted for their consummate weaponsmiths and large numbers of Engines of Vaul and Eldar Titans. The world-rune of Yme-Loc is known as the "Crucible of Souls." Eldar legends tells of the Crucible of Souls, within which the smith-god forged weapons of purest wraithsteel alloyed with the spirits of the virtuous in order to wage the War in Heaven. It was in this crucible that the ninety-nine-and-one Swords of Vaul were created. Yme-Loc uses the symbol as its world-rune, claiming that the Eldar's fate is theirs to forge. Yme-Loc's colours are light grey with orange highlights.
History
The Eldar of the lesser Yme-Loc Craftworld are talented artisans, boasting many weaponsmiths who supply its warhosts with Engines of Vaul and lithe titans that dwarf the Gargants of the Orks and the God-machines of the Imperium. Though it is not openly spoken of, the craftworld also possesses an arcane engine of destruction that can destroy a continent in a single night. Yme-Loc's Guardians wear grey armor with orange helmets and shoulder armour plates. Their mighty Wraithlords and other vehicles are often coloured grey with orange details.
