    The name "Dark Eldar" makes sense in a way due to Commoragh receiving little to no natural light. So since they're *Eldar* that live in the *Dark,* it makes perfect sense for them to be called the "Dark Eldar".

      Even if they didn't neccesarily think they were evil, they could still call themselves evil for intimidation purposes as stated above. Most edgy people I know love to tell people about how dark or evil they are, but the majority of those same people don't think they're actually evil. Every "evil" Satanist I know acts like they are the most morally outstanding individual to have ever lived, but they still love to tell people they're spreading the "evil" of Satan.

      i all ways saw the eldar's state of not haveing a large population as self imposed due to lck of sole stones, but the path of the parent must be a common if stricktly controlled path for A the craftworlds to be 100 times larger then they were 10000 years ago despited endless wars between then and now. ie the craftworlders must have a positive population growth inorder to have that growth despite the wars etc. i think everyeldar has t go through that path atleast once. and the eldar leaders make sure that only enough children are produced that they can afford to have on the craftworld, mainy for replaceing combat loses but every now and then to expand jut a little. i see the exodites haveing large familiesas they are basically armish eldar and live a more basic life and thus most likely have large families but probably still have a fairly stable population as its not in any danger.

    Human: Honestly my dealing with my wife is far worse than this torture.
    Dark Eldar: WHAT? HOW? WHY?
    Human: imagine the 3rd worst pain ever, than imagine it being constant and if you were to attempt to escape that pain you would suffer through at least the second worse pain and possiably the 1st worse pain if you suffered under the third long enough
    Dark Eldar: wait what are the 2nd worse pain?
    Human: Divorce where she gets at least half your shit and you have to pay her for divorcing you
    Dark Eldar: what? that makes no sense and I'm from commerath.
    Human: yea tell me about it.
    Dark Eldar: wait what's the worst pain?
    Human: oh if you have Children with her you theirs a good possibility you wont get to see them again and yet you still have to keep paying for them.
    Dark Eldar: while i admit that sucks how is that the worst.
    Human: Because the children you are paying for don't have to be YOUR Children.

    Crazy fan theory: The Dark Eldar are surrounding themselves with so much pain and excess pleasure not only to stave off soul death but to also prepare themselves from the innevitable day that they do end up as dinner for Slaanesh. Infinity suffering endless agony and pleasure inside Slaanesh might be tempered somewhat if you've already experienced such things before. Of course paltry Dark Elder methods pale in comparison to what Slaanesh can dole out, but it might still help a little.

      Noximus Jamaicanus Well, when their primarch was thrown to their planet, at one point, the DE tried raiding them. Vulkan clobbered a hundred of them and ever since, the salamanders have a dislike for them. There was also a moment where salamanders died to a human-killing virus by them, only for their armors to reanimate under the machine spirit and finish murdering those responsible.

    1) Haemunculi never rulled the Commorragh. They dumped all that boring ruling bullshit on the old aristocracy and retreated tp their laboratories to do really fun stuff. When Vect took over they looked at it, decided that itd woed not matter and continued with their business.
    2) Stitching corpses and recovering as much as eldarly possible helps, but not necessary. With enough suffering Haemunculi can resurrect their client out of the single finger bone.
    3) Vect is actually 10000 years old, not 5000. It took him 5000 years to rise from the slave boy to a level at which he could plan his revolution.
    4) Disjunctions are not at all what you have described, and the means to deal with them have nothing to do with Blanks. "Path of" series goes in enough details on them to make an entire lore video.
    5) Webway actually repairs itself over time unless you don't remove the very problem that caused it to crack. Finding it and dealing with it is the main focus of eldar in power during Disjunctions.
    6) Raiding Tau isn't actually that popular. They don't have much of a soul even in comparison with humans and their emotions are much duller. As a result they don't make good pain slaves or gladiators.
    7) The only marines who actually invaded the Dark City and got away alive are the Salamanders and the Death Guard. Both suffered quite heavy casualties though. Subrealms didn't get such a stellar records, but they're backwater boondocks as far as high Cabals are concerned.

      I mean, we all knew Fab Bile was one of the most terrifying in Warhammer. He's literally a psycho Apothecary off on his own making monsters that rival Haemonculi beasts of flesh. His minions are all clones, or crafted from captured bodies. It's nuts. I remember hearing a story from ABP about when he captured another Apothecary that was fighting alongside scouts marines / sent one of the scouts away with a bunch of harvested gene seed to save their chapter. Basically said marine kills a dreadnought in melee, then gets blown away from the reactor of the dread going critical, I think his plasma pistol blowing up as well. He wakes up to someone being all friendly with him and at first thinks it's a friendly Apoth. Nope. Fabius Bile dragged him off while he was in a coma and he became Bile's next toy.

      I mean we don't know the specifics, only the Homunculi do, but as what it is doing is, you know, regenerating the soul; it is probably safe to assume that it is the emotion itself as that impacts the warp(aka the realm of souls) also you're just forgetting that the dark eldar aren't only doing this because they need to and even without Slanesh they would almost definitely still still be having massive murder orgies. That is why Slanesh happened.

    Love the video! Though the eldar (especially dark eldar) are not brittle at all. The Imperium did an autopsy on them and discovered just how strong and durable they really are. Not NEARLY as formidable as a space marine, but well beyond a "normal" human.
    Dark Eldar especially are known to be much stronger and more durable than their craftworld kin. Not to mention they're agile enough to kick a live grenade back at the enemy before it explodes.
    Still, a shotgun blast to the chest will take out almost anything, so the point is moot. Again, love the video! Subscribed!
    Edit: Also I didn't know the haemonculi were also the aristocracy of the dark eldar before Vect came on the scene. I always thought they were the remnants of the pleasure cults that become MORE powerful than the actual aristocracy. A small distinction I know, but there are references in the lore of dark eldar nobles that aren't haemonculi (kabalite trueborns for example) so I thought I'd bring it up.
    As for craftworld eldar "woohoo", we know that Eldar bang all the time. It's a common misconception that craftworlders are prudes, but thats only in comparison to their dark cousins. If you read the "Path of" series you see that craftworlders have a ton of casual sex, drink, do drugs etc. The fact that they consider this lifestyle to be conservative and restrictive is proof of just how hedonistic they naturally are.
    As for actual child birth, Imperial scientists speculate that Eldar reproduction takes place over a LONG period of time and has many biological steps. It's something that's VERY intentional requires a lot of work from both parties.
    But when you get down to it the REAL REASON why craftworlders don't have children often is because there's a limited amount of soul stones. You can't risk having a baby who will be immediately murderfucked by Slaanesh, and getting new soul stones is very...VERY difficult.

    Another possible reason for the dark eldar being more tech savvy is due to the fact that they don't rely on psychic abilities and things like wraithbone and instead focused on other means to get things done. In the second codex it said that the dark eldae no longer had psychic (or at least stunted) powers, but were more physically able then their gypsy cousins.
