Eldar Portal Harlequins

Endobai, the Eagle of Heaven was a great eagle in Eldar Mythology the creation, companion, and guardian of The Laughing God. Endobai never sleept could see forever.

History

Endobai was created after the Laughing God taught the Eldar the "song of building" and "the dance of Wraithbone"^[Note], an act which so enraged Khaine that he threatened the home of the gods and Asuryan intervened. Out of a distrust of Khaine's willingness to follow this brokered peace, The Laughing God created Endobai the Eagle of Heaven. The Laughing God loved his creation and together they hunted.

When Slaanesh awoke to consume heaven and devoure the living gods, the Laughing God did battle with Slaanesh but was nearly defeated. Slaanesh was thwarted when Endobai stepped between Slaanesh and his master and was consumed in his stead, allowing the Laughing God to escape into the Webway. It is said in legend that Endobai lives, pecking at the gizzard fo Slaanesh for eternity.

Harlequins

Harlequin Shadowseers create eagle-headed puppet familiars called Benathai in reverence to Endobai.
