Exodites: The Eldar Who Chose Dirt Over Paradise

The Exodites were the Aeldari who saw the Fall coming. Long before Slaanesh was born, they abandoned the pleasure-worlds and the endless leisure of a dying empire and went out to the Maiden Worlds to break their backs in the dirt. Their cousins laughed at them. Then their cousins died screaming. This complete history follows the Exodites from the rot at the heart of the old Aeldari empire and the flight of the so-called fools, through the taming of the megasaurs and the binding of their dead into the World Spirit, to the arrival of the Adeptus Mechanicus with tracked harvesters and an appetite for xenotech. It covers the burning of the forests, the Swordwind of Biel-Tan, the Core Crack Protocol that shattered a world from the inside, and the bitter schism that followed the victory — with the shadow of the Great Devourer already falling across the stars.
