Klaihn is an Ice World held by the Eldar that contains a sacred temple dedicated to the Goddess Isha.[1]


History

When a vast Imperial force comprised of the 52nd and 124th Valhallan regiments of the Imperial Guard invaded Klaihn in 909.M41, the Eldar of Craftworlds Biel-Tan and Lugganath united to stop them from possessing the temple. What was intended to be a fast strike to wipe out the Guard, however, turned into a protracted and exhausting conflict, due partially to the strange, ethereal blizzards located on Klaihn and the stubbornness of the Valhallans themselves.[1]

Eventually, the Eldar fought through the Valhallans and reached the temple, where they encircled it with their Ghost Warriors, but a Warp-blizzard soon brought new terrors to the battlefield, in the form of a wave of Slaaneshi Daemons. Faced with this new enemy, an uneasy alliance was struck between the Eldar and the Imperial Guard to purge the planet of the frost-blighted Daemons. However, the Eldar had a greater plan, and lured the Daemons and Valhallans into a bloody conflict against each other that greatly reduced the numbers of each. Though the Imperial Guard were finally victorious against the Daemons, the Eldar's Ghost Warriors easily routed the exhausted Valhallan survivors.[1]
