The chains of strangling dark could be chaos undivided corruption OR dark eldar, Either way, There both horrifying.
The rest are pretty easy to decipher, As is, The question is whether we help as soon as we are able, Or start evacuation NOW. The eldar are now a endangered species, and they are eldar in spirit if not body, Meaning that we have an obligation in my mind to help them.

Also, given Biel-tan is a possible executioner, that implicitly means this fucks biel-tan and they dislike these people being alive, all my homies hate biel-tan.

Super Bio-mancy combined with Fate seeing is comes at a different angle AND a way to stay safe from slanessh? the wrathbone is a big downside, But this is definitly a tech tree that might be useful. We might be able to have the planets they bind themselves to act as Maiden worlds, Plucking Non-dryad Eldar souls away from The Bad touch.

Teamwork makes the dream work, We have wrathbone, They have lots of things we want, and are eldar.

If we can set up a makeshift maiden worlds, we can theoretically Use soulstones- Some form of soul tree to recover dead eldar souls, Get them home were they can bond the soul with a plant, Turning into a dryad an protecting us. These is INTERESTING.

We already found them clearly Meros/(that major craftworld we got to like us) follows Kurnos
Kinda I guess? Although to me meros to be just seem like a really diet altaioc, but I suppose that they are indeed kurnothi enough.

Also, probably already stated, but I vote we shot any drukhari we encounter and just, don't interact with them apart from shooting them. I have no idea why the asuryani don't have them as shot on site or cut all ties with them considering how some archons literally hunt farseers and other eldar for their bones.
 
They have experience in modifying themselves. Enough that they were able to escape the curse. The same thing we want if in a different direction. That kind of expertise on our Craftworld and their agricultural knowledge would be a massive boon. We can also spread them to other Craftworlds once the bulk are settled here on ours.

Beil-Tan is one of the nation states that I could easily see going down the 'join or died/species loyalty FTW' route of the Imperium if it weren't for the fact that non-Dark Elder are so rare the other four would would gang up on them for trying it.

Probably why they are doing it so early, because their Farseers known that this is the only chance they've got before the other Craftworlds consolidate enough draw the line.

How is it that the Fall literally happened not even a decade ago and Biel-tan already has a Wailing Doom shoved so far up their asses you can see the tip coming out their mouths?
 
Now this is definitely an unknown, my first thought was "Fulgrim" as he often has phoenix-like iconography and will definitely go out of his way to kill Eldar, but it could also be the other craftworlders (Cough cough Biel-Tan cough)
My first thought was Biel-Tan, with a predecessor of the Void Spinner:

And indeed, their Greenseers are tormented by visions of fire, each different as time passes and their likelihood waxes and wanes. Sometimes—often—chains of strangling dark bind them, and when the fire takes them it is a release. Other times, a great dragon of flames and magma grasps them in claws and impossible fire, and they are washed away. In some, a wounded beast comes with axe and rage to burn and despoil. Yet others, a great horde of buzzing insects strips every trace of green, every leaf, every stalk, and they are undone. And in some, the worst yet rarest of all, a blinded phoenix with tattered wings and the false-dawn come, and tools of creation are turned against them by their own kin.
The phrase "By their own kin" strikes me as particularly damning. And the Voidspinner Array is derived from Pre-Fall terraforming tools.

Their eldar from late empire, That means as a species they are born with it up their ass, Its just in biel-tans case, The Fall on their ass seems to have propelled it ALL the way up there.
 
hay we found our farmers
Not just our farmers, but some of the best biomancers the Eldar species has left, and seeing as how they're effectively priests and priestesses of Isha on top of that, they might even give us some extra population growth if it works the way I think it does!

We need to save this guys asap.

[ ] [1.5] Commit to saving the Ishari of Fea-Eresh as soon as you are able
[ ] [1.0] Entreat your Allies

I'm thinking maybe we do something like this? Ask Arach-Qin to do a drive-by of their planet and scoop up as many of the Ishari as they can?

We might have to offer to help fix their shipyards as well in exchange (or at least as a show of thanks + goodwill so we aren't just demanding our ally to do everything themselves) but this would probably be the fastest, safest and most effective way to saving the Ishari (and all it takes is some BAP offered to Arach-Qin in return as thanks)
 
So they probably saw in order:
  • Drukhari finding them and torturing them (probably a risk with gradual evacuation, a high trafic may be noticed by them)
  • Vulkan and the salamander
  • Angron
  • Tyranids
  • FUCKING BIEL-TAN
Wrong, right, wrong right and partly right, in that order (I made a very unsubtle referance to the Void Spinner for dating purposes).
They're northeast of you, if it helps you get an idea of what some of those things could be.
But yeah, they're at a place of "something comes by and kills us if we stay, so we need to go."

How is it that the Fall literally happened not even a decade ago and Biel-tan already has a Wailing Doom shoved so far up their asses you can see the tip coming out their mouths?
In this case, it's actually more pre-Fall conservativism ("Thou Shalt Not Modify Thy Soul Ever") but yeah, they're militant revanchist jerks and they've been militant revanchist jerks from the very start.

Ok, Thought. Biel-Tan Have Farseers, We know they have farseers. What are the chances that If we commit to saving them at a later date, Or entreat our allies, Biel_tans farseers rolls well, See that its Now or nothing and attack the Ishari before we can evact them.

Personally, I am leaning towards [ ] [2.0] Evacuate Immediately , because THAT way, if Biel-tan rolls well and gets cheeky, evacuation is already underway, Meaning we already have some saved, and our Navy is already present escorting Our civilian transports, Making it harder for them to establish total orbital control and Exterminate them whole sale.

Its a biel-tan dice dependent outcome, But its a possibility and I feel I should bring it up. Sometimes Doing Stuff NOW when fighting Futureseers is the best course of action because it gives them a smaller timeframe to act.

Well to add my own guesses to the list the wounded beast is probably the Orks and I'll echo frostgiant that the chains are most likely alluding to Chaos but I'm also wondering if it could be the Necrons instead or one of the less known xenos like the Yu'vath or the Rangda.

Yeah, but this would be the proof we need to make others distance themselves from them. A cult of Isha who also isolated themselves from the Corruption of the Pre-fall Dominion. A cult who has found a real working alternative to the Soul-stones. Who proves, concretely we don't need to rely on Khaine for paths.

They are a proof of concept. We should bring some of them to Sam-Hain(?) our kinda ally among the big 5.
And honestly, we should begin to point out to the other that a society this heavily militarized should not be making enemies of a Craftworld dedicated to Vaul and full of ALL the logistical support they need if they want to really reconstitute the Aeldari Dominion.
 
The fact that the Axe is not angron rules out the rest of the Primarchs, Angron is the only one who used Axe's, Of varying sizes. That makes me think its Ork Blood axes like folklore said, wounded beast is multi layered. It could mean orks that we have been beating the piss out of, It could mean Blood Axe Orks, it could be both.

They will work just as well as an example after they have been evacuated as they will without being evacuated. In fact, If they are exterminated while we try to use them as a powerpoint slide for our allies, We lose that. I would rather get it started NOW, To avoid something unseen from happening and just nuking them before we can help.

Honestly, one means we have to GO GO GO with the evac. The other means we still have time. I'd rather have our allies begin the process.
 
Skarbrand also unfortunately falls under that decription, He is still carrying around the wounds from when khorne kicked his ass, Skarbrand is still wounded, No wings and unable to think straight, only rage.
True he does fit the description quite well and as Khorne's former favourite champion he might just have the power to kill an unprepared and very vulnerable world by himself, if he's not dragging an army of daemons behind himself that is.

I know Cegorach is trying to help cause everything is on fire but this is two birds with one stone. Would he have introduced us two if we hadn't given up on reviving the old empire and decided instead to move on?
 
Bear in mind asking Arach-Qin means we'll owe them something else as well. I'd rather use our own fleets honestly, as anything they're likely to ask for is probably going to be something we're less able to spare than ships.

And on the wargear vote I'm on board to go full in on armour (plus some weapons) this turn, with the fancier vehicles and weaponry coming Turn 3 onwards.
