The following paragraphs contain spoilers for: | Dominion Genesis (Novel) |
Idranvel's search for the fabled Turellea Dandramensha, translating to Dominion Genesis in Gothic. An enormous, life-seeding vessel of once used by ancient Aeldari to terraform worlds across the galaxy into verdant Paradise Worlds. It was a tool the eldar used to make a garden of the galaxy. Its so-called Genesis Effects were able to transmute any substance into living breathing flora and fauna. In Aeldari myth it is said to be a gift from Vaul the Maker, a prominent god in Eldar Mythology.[1c]
This search for the Dominion Genesis would lead him to utilizing the destruction of Forge World Gryphonne IV by Hive Fleet Leviathan to create unknowing pawns to aid in his search for the ancient Aeldari world-seeding vessel. Idranvel claims responsibility for directing the hive fleet towards the heart of the Gryphonnen Octad. The most promising tool from this supposed orchestrated destruction of the Forge World was Explorator Sherax. An individual he began to follow unnoticed in the shadow of as she searched for clues leading to the whereabouts of the same fabled Genesis vessel Idranvel sought.

Idranvel would ambush Sherax's expedition on Ikaneos-A, a former Exodite World and last world to be given life by the Turellea Dandramensha before it was lost. Now a polluted wasteland due to Imperial colonization and industry from millennia prior.[1c]
Idranvel would ambush Sherax, nearly killing her after defeating her Protector, Phocon Xal. The Warp Spider would steal the Genesis crystal from her and disappear. Shortly after Idranvel made his retreat, a black armoured Wraithknight would emerge from the fane's nearby Webway Gate. The Mechanicus expedition would route the remaining Eldar after barely defeating the Wraithknight. Only remnants of the Tech-Priest's expedition remained and Idranvel believe he and his fleet had destroyed or disabled all their means of transport, stranding them on the world.
Idranvel and his forces would then proceed back through the Webway, eventually arriving at the star system that the Turellea Dandramensha has been hidden in for untold millennia. Necron and Biel-tan voicecraft would be battling in the unnamed star system as the explorator's eventually made its way to the same location. A star system with a blue star and 3 planets. The most distant was a rocky world barely held by the star's gravity, another was a gas giant, and the third was a planet with a molten ferrous core produces a magnetic field around the world. Hanging in orbit of this world was the Genesis Vessel.[1g]
The vessel hung in orbit of an unnamed, half-terraformed world. The vessel resembled a fat-bellied multi-limbed arachnid. The central disc making up its body was about the size of a continental shelf it loomed above. Its long limbs stretched out, bathing the landscape in the scarlet glow of the Genesis phenomenon's life-transmuting effects. The world was a half molten hellscape of toxic ash and river of lava, half verdant paradise with idyllic hills and clouds, held in the many insectoid arms of the bulbous spider-like form of the Genesis vessel. The limbs of the vessel curled inward as if to hold the world in an unseen grip.[1g]
One of the explorator's companions, Magos Lyterix would step forward and make an offer to Idranvel. Stating that humanity and the aeldari could work together to learn the secrets of the Dominion Genesis vessel for the benefit of both their species. An opportunity to bridge a new understanding between our empires. Idranvel would flatly decline, stating the Turellea Dandramensha was a divine gift from their Aeldari gods and for the their people alone.[1h]
The Skittari Protector Xal would step forward to challenge his Warp Spider rival, Astartes chainsword at the ready. The two would duel as Biel-tan Aeldari materialized from nowhere to engage the explorator's forces.[1h]
Sherax would spare his life and leave him to die slowly aboard the Genesis vessel as his greatest desire was destroyed around him. She did this to spite him for apparently taking part in the orchestration of events that lead of her home world's destruction.[1j] She would purposefully have the Peregrinus Warp Jump within the gravity well of the unnamed half-made world, destabilizing the gravity of the world and its satellites and causing the Genesis vessel collide with and destroy itself upon the world's surface.[1k]
