The Dark Eldar Civil War is an ongoing conflict being waged since the formation of the Great Rift.

Overview

Though always beset by violence and strife, the Dark Eldar realm of Commorragh has become particularly volatile since the Great Dysjunction that arose following the formation of the Great Rift. Seeking to counter the Ynnari influence that has since arose in the Dark City, Supreme Overlord Asdrubael Vect has begun manipulating many assets within Commorragh, seeking to eliminate Yvraine and her sect without being seen as openly murdering the Prophets of Ynnead. As such, Commorragh has erupted into large levels of violence as various Kabals are beset upon pro-Ynnari factions without even realizing Vect is behind such acts. One such example is the Kabal of the Lords of Iron Thorn eliminating the Kabal of Poisoned Hope. Vect also used third party brokers to put bounties on Yvraine's and her followers heads, creating entire hunting expeditions by assassins and bounty hunters in Commorragh. In truth, Vect needed little to push the city towards strife as the Dark Eldar require sparse cause to murder one another.[1]

While Vect has managed to destroy large amounts of pro-Ynnari factions within Commorragh, entire sub-realms of the Dark City have nonetheless fallen under Ynnari control. These have been fortified are now separate enclaves in their own right.[1]
