I just finished reading the DE codex and There is something I am curious about.
How do the DE feel about the craftworlders?On one hand they came to the rescue in their hour of need.However Incubi need to kill an aspect warrior in order to become fully fledged and a succubus most prized trophy is a head of autarach.
So what is their attitude toward their cousins in general? Disdain, respect or something in between?

DE look at the Craftworlders as they do most other races pawns to be used, slaves, and playthings that also can be allies in the right circumstance. DE have come to the aid of Craftworlds under the attack of Tyranids but also regularly capture/use Craftworld Eldar as slaves.

Commorragh really makes no distinction with race, even fellow DE are often slaves there.

IIRC that was done for amusement. Pretty much Dark Eldar trolling.

I think it was stated in previous fluff that Dark Eldar though their Eldar counterparts foolish or stupid for not following the Dark Eldar way of life.

The official reason was for their own personal amusement. But I suspect that the Dark Eldar would claim that regardless of what the actual reason might have been. Suffice to say that my personal thought is more of a "Eldar against everyone else" whim, albeit one that CANNOT be counted on by the Craftworlders in the event of another impending disaster.

Dark Eldar and Harlequins consider the Craftworld Eldar as somewhat less than Eldar because they 'hide' from the obsessive nature of the Eldar. On the other hand, Craftworld Eldar and Dark Eldar pity and revile the Dark Eldar for indulging themselves in depravity. The Harlequins accept the obsessive nature of the Eldar, but are beyond it, which is why both the Craftworld Eldar and Dark Eldar fear and respect the Harlequins.
