Information
Kaelor is an extremely isolated Eldar craftworld in the Warhammer 40,000 universe
History, even among the notoriously covert Eldar Craftworlds, Kaelor is incredibly isolated. Due to historical circumstances, Kaelot made a webway jump to the edge of the galaxy and has not ventured back in for several millennia, it has virtually no contact with the outside world, even the Harlequins barely remember its existence.
History
The craftworld of Kaelor remembers virtually nothing of its early existence, its earliest known history begins with the Craftwars, and even that is extremely sparse. What is known is that following a webway jump, Kaelor found itself on a collision course with Saim-Hann. The Ensuing conflict supposedly ended with a Kaelorian victory, but the veracity of this assertion is doubtful. All that is known is that the craftworld was virtually rent apart and is now only held together through incredibly strong psychic bonds, and that during this time, an individual known only as Gwrih the radiant came to prominence.
Gwrih united the craftworld in an uneasy peace that has held for millennia; a single line was chosen to hold the position of the farseer, the Rivalin Dynasty. The other great families were effectively exiled from the capital city, the Sentrium, to the outer reaches of the craftworld. The heads of the aspect temples are accorded far less stature on Kaelor than other craftworlds and swore an oath to Gwrih that they would never intervene in the politics of the great houses.
The tenuous peace that held for so long led to a divergence from the other craftworlds to a level of indulgence and decadence among the population of the Sentrium that was dangerously unbounded. What would have been purged as a Chaos influenced pleasure cult on other craftworlds became normal.
The affluence of the Sentrium and the ever greater deprivation of the other great houses could only have one outcome, events finally came to a head with the House Wars.
