Note that this will involve spoilers, although I'll tag them as much as possible.

I've been reading over my copy of Xenology and it's a fun read (except for the same tired old
Spoiler:
"Necrons are in charge of everything"
line that GW was pushing at the time). A couple of questions:

Spoiler:
Is the god the Hrud are talking about the Slann?
If so, how does that fit into the old "Fantasy is just a planet in the 40k world (possibly in the EoT)" theory I hear every so often, (despite it being disavowed by GW, what do THEY know about Fantasy/40k)?

What is going on in the
Spoiler:
Eldar exodite tablet?
I'll admit I know next-to-nothing about Eldar fluff.

I guess I'm trying to figure out if this is the cliffs notes for the entire history/theology of the 40k continuity or just an over-priced art book.

Either way, it's a fun read. Anyone else read it who cares to discuss it?

EDIT: Man those spoiler blocks are ugly. Sorry about that.
