Khorne did claim that the eldar god khaine was an aspect of himself, and Slaneesh did absorb many of the eldar gods, but they are still around in the warp in a way, since time has no meaning there.

Prior to the birth of slaneesh, the other chaos gods were still around but did not act so aggressively. It wasn't as big a deal to get involved, and they didn't try as hard to corrupt and claim everything. They also had to compete with the old ones and the eldar gods. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5263400.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5263400.page GMT Eldar and Chaos Gods Pre Slaanesh

The Eldar before the fall did not fear ANY of the chaos gods though. The Eldar had already encountered the other three Daemons of the Warp in their travels through Warp Space, but thought themselves too strong-willed and technically advanced toe be endangered. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5275230.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5275230.page GMT Eldar and Chaos Gods Pre Slaanesh

Idiocy on their part. Had they taken notice of the power of Chaos, they might have avoided the Fall. Typical Eldar arrogance.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5276412.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5276412.page GMT Re:Eldar and Chaos Gods Pre Slaanesh http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5276518.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5276518.page GMT Re:Eldar and Chaos Gods Pre Slaanesh

Well, now they know better...with regards to Chaos at least. I think...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5276524.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5276524.page GMT Re:Eldar and Chaos Gods Pre Slaanesh
Citing Pg 4 of the C: Eldar

When the Eldar died their souls passed peacefully into the warp to be reborn again.

This (to me) implies that the warp was not home to anything of significant threat to the Eldar at the time. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5276538.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5276538.page GMT Re:Eldar and Chaos Gods Pre Slaanesh
I guess in a way they were right. It wasn't Khorne, Nurgle, or Tzeentch that actually rang their death knell, it was themselves.

Yeah, it even says the Warp didn't have the hunger for Eldar souls that it does today. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5276561.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5276561.page GMT Re:Eldar and Chaos Gods Pre Slaanesh

Or they simply didn't care. The Fall of the Eldar destroyed most of the Eldar Gods but had no effect on the Powers of Chaos. Most likely, they already knew the Eldar were doomed; and unlike the Imperium who actively seeks to prevent the same thing from happening to Mankind, the Eldar didn't care or even consider the possibility of the Fall (most of them anyway), so the gods saw no need to intervene. Just patiently wait and let the Eldar damn themselves.

EDIT: Chaos is life after all, and life has an innate tendency to Chaos. Even the Imperium and the post-Fall Eldar, for all their efforts, are just containing Chaos. The only way to truly destroy it, would be something like the oldcron C'tan had planned: sealing off the Warp from reality once and for all.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5276577.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5276577.page GMT Re:Eldar and Chaos Gods Pre Slaanesh ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5276582.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5276582.page GMT Re:Eldar and Chaos Gods Pre Slaanesh

So for the unknown thousands or millions of years prior to the fall, when Eldar souls passed in and out of the warp the other three were doing what exactly?


Not millions of years. AFAIK, the Powers 'awoke' during M2. Afterwards, they steadily built their power, expanded their influence, and waited. In any case, time is meaningless in the Warp. The moment they 'awoke', they have always existed, even before they actually 'awakened'.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5276594.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505558/5276594.page GMT
