| - Altansar was a small Eldar Craftworld that survived the Fall of the Eldar but was caught in the Eye of Terror, its only escapee being the Phoenix Lord Maugan Ra. Ten thousand Terran years after the homeworld of Maugan Ra was swallowed by the Eye of Terror, Abaddon the Despoiler launched his 13th Black Crusade from within its depths in 999.M41. The nightmarish realm vomited the legions of Chaos into the material universe, leaving a gaping rift between the material universe and that of the Warp. Whilst the Eye was still open, Maugan Ra undertook a perilous quest into its malignant reaches in search of the remains of his people. Maugan Ra eventually found the remains of his Craftworld and guided what was left of it out of the Eye of Terror, and led them against the Forces of Chaos. However, there was no celebration or welcome from the other Eldar Craftworlds at the return of their lost counterpart. The shadowy Eldar of Altansar were treated with open suspicion and hostility, for it was believed that no Eldar could remain untouched by the predations of Chaos for so many millennia. Altansar is known as the sister Craftworld of Ulthwé, due to its close proximity to the Eye of Terror. The world-rune used by Craftworld Altansar is known as the "Broken Chain" -- not only in reference to the escape of Kurnous and Isha from the dungeons of Khaine in the Eldar myth cycles, but also to the shattering of the links that bound Vaul to his anvil. The symbol has taken on a deeper meaning since Altansar's mysterious escape from the Eye of Terror. The broken infinity loop above the world-rune has only been adopted by the Craftworld as its new sigil since its narrow escape from an eternity of damnation.
