Chaotic Eldar
Chaotic Eldar, are Aeldari who have fallen to Chaos [1] they are Mutants[5], monstrosities[4], newly chaos-tained[8], and the truly damned millennia-old survivors of the Fall the Renegade Eldar Chaos Champions[1][2]. To the rest of the Aeldari Chaotic Eldar are kin no more, forever lost they are intentionally forgotten and unacknowledged.[1]
Most of the Chaotic Eldar now survive on the Crone Worlds in the Eye of Terror. Asuryani Rangers who venture into the Eye of Terror make dealings with the Chaotic Eldar for Spirit Stones, Shuriken Casters, and other artifacts of the Eldar Empire. Expeditions are made regularly to the Tyrakesh Archeomarket on Arach-Cyn[4], and Inquisitor Bronislaw Czevak has also made dealings at that market. Others survive throughout the Galaxy as isolated bands of chaos-devoted Pirates.[8][10]
There are unknowable varieties of Chaotic Eldar Mutants, but one stable ab-stain are the Shriekers of Belial IV which have taken on bat-like features[5]. Apothecary Arrian Zorzi described their genetic code as being degraded to the point of indecipherability[5].
