      They're the very picture of sterile self-indulgence; they use sex merely for selfish pleasure without caring about either their partner or their children. This, in my eyes, is actually the greatest sign of their decadence and corruption - obviously, the torture and shit is absolutely awful as well, but such overwhelming self-indulgence is disgusting, and can only come out of an unbelievably arrogant and wicked heart.

    For anyone interested in getting some more depth on Dark Eldar lore I highly suggest the Path of the Dark Eldar omnibus or just Path of the Outcast (first book in the series I think) to dip your toes in. It's got some great examples of daily life on multiple social levels in Commoragh, the political conflicts in the city, how inter-kabal fighting works, how Vect's government works, how Commoragh works as a location/sub-dimension shit, and excellent depictions of weapons and vehicles to get a basic idea of how you might want to paint energy effects.

    I'm inspired to find the time to write the following: the Space Wolves get the idea in their bacon-addled brains to gather the entire chapter and assault Commorragh. They Primaris up as many of their number as possible; perhaps this isn't allowed by Cawl so they have to steal the means and puzzle it out on their own. Then, of course, they get slaughtered. Vect laughs his ass off as it happens and the few survivors are put into gladiatorial combat forever.
    This hands the Space Marines a massive loss, makes the Drukhari look like a legitimate power, and bonus points if in the epilogue Leman Russ returns and demands to know what happened to his children. Guilliman tries to explain the Space Wolves were dumbasses and Russ slaps the shit out of his brother. In addition to not playing Space Marine favorites, you have some of the family drama Space Marine fans really love. Everybody wins.

    Worthwhile note, in the massive-playtest-turned-lore-story that was the introduction of the Ynnari, one of the ways in which they were *scary*-powerful came up when the Drukhari attacked them.
    Yvraine took this personally, and hit them with some death god magic. That rebounded all the way back to Comorragh and *burned out sections of Haemonculus labs* . Straight up said "nope" to a perfectly-reliable form of immortality.
    Also funny that, however hard they may hit on tabletop, lore-wise those are almost all just glorified hunting rifles. They still have (some of) the utter bullshit Eldar ultratech, the stuff that equaled or sometimes surpassed the Necrons. They just *choose* not to use it. This is why they struggle with armor, lore-wise.
    Because using their good stuff would cause them all the problems innumerated in the video, and it's hard to take captives if you wiped a whole continent clean of sentient life with a piece of jewelry.

    I belive the Dark Eldar are the vast mayority of Eldar in existance both due to Commoragh beeing the rough size of a solar system and the prefferred method of breeding of dark eldar beeing mass cloning. A normal Eldar begins his life as a child working in a factory and either dies, gets promoted due to agression or just runs away to join another faction as somebody who can be trusted because he doesn't have a good murder motif yet has a need to eat imported slave suffering. There are also mostly unique Eldar Astartes-grade monsters made by the Heamonculi but there isn't many of them and get killed often due to racism attrition among dark eldar and naturally born dark eldar are automaticly nobility was everyone feels you have a more complete soul due to natural birth.

    The final battle in the novel is the main character, a Space Marine veteran, against a single Dark Eldar.
    Its not even close. The SM get his shit kicked in. Its less of a fight and more of a torture session.
    The only reason he won in the end, after both of his arms were disabled , was due to his own cunning and poisonous acid spit and that the Eldar could not help himself and started gloating and touching himself.

      If I remember correctly, they aren't actually being actively eaten when they die. Its not the sort of one and done thing like you think it is. Slaneesh doesn't just immediately digest their souls, she savors the flavor and slowly drains it over time. Don't get me wrong, souls do eventually dissipate and vanish entirely, but with how the Drukhari revive so quickly, they don't lose much. Though there are stories of Deldar who died for too long and came back visibly fucked up and in shambles mentally because Slaneesh ate a bit too much. The same goes for Harlequins but instead Cegorach is fist fighting slaneesh for clown souls.

Because showing emotion towards your child is weakness and if you're pregnant you can't go on raids and kill people very well. There are a few traditionally born Drukhari called Trueborn and they're elitist snobs because they were lucky enough to come out of a vagina.

    I think there are far more of the Dark Kin than Craftworlders. Like, at least an order of magnitude more. Thats why there is the weird rump faction of 'corsairs' in the craftworld book. Originally, the eldar corsairs in lore were just Dark Eldar although it's more of a continuum from Craftworld-Corsair-DE than hard stops. So 99% of all the interactions Humans have with elves are going to be with Dark Eldar. Which explains a lot about why the craftworlders and Imperium rarely collaborate or ally despite having obvious shared interests and not really any competing objectives. If every time you have met a knife-ear in the last 10,000 years they torture porned your entire extended family to death, you likely aren't too keen on buddying up with their 'totally normal' cousins, regardless of practicalities.
