Warhammer 40,000 (5E D&D)

Aeldari

As a humanoid race, Aeldari are physically very similar to Humans, although not entirely identical by any means. They possess longer and cleaner limbs, and fine ascetic features with penetrating and slightly slanted, almond-shaped eyes.

Their ears are also slightly pointed, but otherwise they could pass as Human at first glance. The most obvious difference between Humans and Aeldari can only be seen when they move, for the movements of an Aeldari radiate a subtle grace which is impossible for a Human to emulate.

This can be seen in even their slightest gestures or the dexterity with which they manipulate small objects.

The Aeldari mind, while similar in general to the Human psyche, is far more inclined towards emotional extremes. Because of this, Aeldari are more intelligent but also far more intense than Humans.

Although an Aeldari and a Human can both feel grief or joy, the Aeldari's experience is likely to be far more extreme.

This natural inclination towards emotional extremes is both a blessing and a curse to the Aeldari. On the positive side, it gives them an unparalleled appreciation of life and an unrivalled ability to express themselves through music and other creative endeavours.

A melody or gesture made with grace and skill can elicit an intensity of pleasure which is unimaginable to a Human.

But this potential for joy is paralleled by an equal capacity to feel despair, ambition and even hatred. Confronted by grief or other personal setbacks, an Aeldari suffers mental torments which far exceed the boundaries of Human anguish.

The extreme nature of their temperament makes it very important that the Aeldari maintain a measure of self-control at all times, for it is dangerously easy for them to become entranced by and ultimately dependent upon the experiences that their culture offers them.

They must learn to control the darker side of their natures, which is no less an essential portion of the Aeldari psyche -- and the source of the catastrophe that nearly caused their extinction.

For this reason, the Asuryani are defined as a culture by their pursuit of the Asuryani Path. This philosophy teaches them how to balance their potent minds and pursue constructive goals rather than falling to the amoral pursuit of pleasure and selfishness that ultimately destroyed the ancient Aeldari and still defines their dark kin, the Drukhari.

The Aeldari are a naturally psychic species, and all Aeldari possess the potential to become powerful psykers if they choose to pursue this path.

The Aeldari can use these innate abilities to shape matter, which lies at the foundation of their extraordinary command of technology.

Though highly advanced and feared across the galaxy, the Aeldari are still a dying people in the late 41st Millennium -- a shadow of their former glory -- and their species teeters on the brink of final annihilation.

Age. Although Aeldari reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the Aeldari understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An Aeldari typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old.

Alignment: Aeldari love freedom, variety, and self-expression, so they lean strongly toward the gentler aspects of chaos. They value and protect others’ freedom as well as their own, and they are more often good than not.

Meditation: Aeldari don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Alien reflexes Aeldari gain advantage on initiative rolls and a + 2 AC When not Wereing Heavy Armor.

Languages: You can speak, read, and write gothic and Aeldari. Aeldari is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Aeldari literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among the Imperials.

Asuryani

The Asuryani ("children of Asuryan" in the Aeldari Lexicon), also called Craftworld Aeldari as they were named before the fall of their lost realm, or the Eldar as they were long known to outsiders, are an ancient humanoid alien species whose vast empire once extended the width and breadth of the known galaxy, but who now live on vast, city-like starships called craftworlds.

A Craftworld is a vast, planetoid-sized spacecraft populated by the highly advanced humanoid species known as the Eldar. The Craftworlds travel through the void of space at sublight speeds, carrying the greater remnant of the Eldar race after their Fall. Each Craftworld is a self-sufficient, independent realm with its own distinctive culture. The most important Eldar Craftworlds of the Milky Way Galaxy are listed and described here.

Every Craftworld is built upon a skeleton of Wraithbone whose structure extends throughout the gigantic voidcraft. A similar skeletal core lies at the heart of most Eldar constructions and every one of their spacecraft. In function, this core is similar to the blood vessels and nervous system of a living creature, pumping life-giving energy around the body and also transmitting the psychic impulses that coordinate its many functions. Wraithbone is psycho-conductive, and the core of a Craftworld acts as a self-replenishing reservoir of psychic power. The invasive rib-like structures carry this energy throughout the entire length and breadth of the vessel.

In a very real sense, the Craftworld is a living entity, powered by psychic energy and responding in an organic way to the stimuli of psychic forces. The power contained within it can be expended as light and heat, and most ship-board devices could not actually function without the wireless psychic power grid that runs throughout the substructure of the Craftworld.

The Eldar refer to this grid as the Infinity Circuit, a metaphysical neural structure studded with the Spirit Stones of the Craftworld's dead, their gestalt psychic collective serving as the source of the great vessel's power--and its ghostly sentience.

The Aeldari Empire was without equal, and they counted themselves masters of the stars. But millennia ago, the Aeldari's overweening pride and their fall into hedonistic practices led to a cataclysm that all but eradicated their kind and led to the birth of the Chaos God Slaanesh.

Despite their boundless power, the heart of their civilisation was torn out by this catastrophe of their own making, forcing many of the surviving Aeldari, now calling themselves "Eldar" to outsiders and "Asuryani" among themselves, to flee upon gigantic, continent-size starships once used for commerce and trade that they named craftworlds. Now the Asuryani cling to survival by a thread, fighting the horrors of the galaxy with ritualised discipline and consummate skill.

The Aeldari species has a long and complex spacefaring history, so long in fact that little is known for certain about the course of their physical evolution and early planet-bound existence. The original Aeldari homeworld was destroyed during the catastrophic collapse of the Aeldari civilisation known as the Fall of the Aeldari.

The remnants of Aeldari culture that survived the cataclysm among the Asuryani preserved much of their species' history in the form of traditional stories, songs and dance. Written records, monuments and visual records were almost completely destroyed except for a few instances where they were taken aboard voidcraft fleeing from the doomed worlds.

Warlock

A Warlock is an Eldar Seer or psyker who previously walked the Path of the Warrior as an Aspect Warrior of the Eldar Craftworlds and now uses his potent psychic powers to help lead Eldar warhosts. Warlocks who lose themselves upon this path ultimately become Farseers. The most aggressive and warlike of all the potential variants of the Path of the Seer is that of the Warlock. Since Warlocks are Seers who once trod the Path of the Warrior, their previous experience as Aspect Warriors allows them to harness their more destructive impulses when using their psychic powers in combat. The ornate helmets worn by Warlocks in the field are kept in the shrines of the Warrior Aspects as a sign of the close link between Warlocks and their former status as Warriors. A Warlock can only attain that status by returning to the Aspect Shrine that he once belonged to and receiving his helmet from the shrine's Exarch as part of the same blood-ritual undergone by Aspect Warriors.

A Warlock not only learns the use of the psychic runes of war but also how to wield the Witchblade, a powerful Eldar Force Weapon. Witchblades writhe and twist with living runes of the Eldar Lexicon that focus the inherent power of the Warlock's mind into destructive psychic energy using a helical psychic matrix that runs through the core of the blade. In the hands of a Warlock, a Witchblade strikes with a devastating burst of psychic force that can incinerate an enemy where he stands.

Spiritseer

A Spiritseer is an Eldar psyker who walks the Path of the Seer in a way that allows him or her to commune with the souls of the dead Eldar preserved in the Craftworld's Infinity Circuit. In times of peace, the Spiritseers serve as a bridge between the living and the dead, ensuring the wisdom of the past remains available to those still able to influence the present. In time of war, the Spiritseers entreat the souls of the dead to empower Wraithguard and Wraithlord constructs, using the dead to protect their living kindred.

When an Eldar dies, his or her Spirit Stone is reverently grafted to the Wraithbone core of his or her Craftworld in the place known as the Dome of Crystal Seers, joining and mingling with the countless souls of the past Eldar already present within the Craftworld's structure. The resulting gestalt psychic entity is known as the Infinity Circuit, and is an integral part of a Craftworld's life, subtly providing guidance to the living Eldar dwelling within the Craftworld and protecting them against Warp-spawned perils.

With the souls of the deceased "trapped" within the Infinity Circuit, and with their numbers dwindling rapidly, the Eldar eventually turned to their deceased kin as a source of knowledge, wisdom and in time of dire crisis, even combat assistance. The Spiritseers are those Eldar who walk the Path of the Seer who specialise in communing with the spirits of the dead present in their Craftworld's Infinity Circuit.

The Path of the Spiritseer is one of the most difficult of Paths to walk for an Eldar. Like all variations of the Path of the Seer, it requires the Eldar to call on his or her psychic powers with all the risks that usage entails. The Spiritseer must possess a mental discipline and fortitude beyond compare, for communing with the dead is extremely taxing. Depending on the spirit's past life and manner of death, it might be cooperative, but often is either unresponsive, racked with grief, jealous of the still living or even malicious. The Spiritseer must adapt himself to commune with the intended spirit without being refused or even worse, possessed. Another, more subtle danger of this Path is that the Spiritseer must be self-possessed enough to always ask and never demand assistance from the dead, no matter how dire his and his people's need might be. Making demands of the dead, forcing them to serve the will of the living, is a practice considered anathema amongst the Eldar, who view it with the same loathing that humans reserve for necromancy. It is for this reason that many Eldar view Spiritseers with some suspicion. Although the line between spiritseeing and necromancy is sometimes very fine, the Spiritseer must always remain aware that the dead must only give assistance to the living willingly. The combined pressures of resisting the dead and enduring the cultural censure of the living makes the Path of the Spiritseer an uneasy road that few Eldar dare walk.
