| rdfs:comment | - Der Name Eldar (das Volk der Sterne) wurde den Quendi (Elben) von Orome, einem der 14 Valar, verliehen. Er galt den Elben, die Orome folgten und sich auf den Weg nach Westen machten. Ob sie tatsächlich den Westen erreichten, oder doch in Mittelerde verweilten, spielte dabei keine Rolle. Gleichbedeutend wie Eldar wird auch Eldalië („Das Elbenvolk“ verwendet).
- Eldar are the High-Elves of Myra. Most of those Eldar who survived the battle of Pondaron over 400 years ago, went to the Valley of Life somewhere on Kezunsea afterwards, where Dragons and Unicorns, both all but extinct in the rest of the world, still are rumoured to roam freely. They are fair-skinned, nearly pale, and tall, usually rather slender than stocky.

- She joins Synbios' army while they are onboard the train back to the Republic.
- The Eldar were themselves divided into the High-Elves or Tareldar (the Vanyar, Noldor and Falmari) and the Umanyar (the Sindar and Nandor). The Eldar spoke Eldarin of which archaic Noldorin, Telerin and archaic Vanyarin were the three main dialects.
- A large amount of information on the Eldar species comes from the book "On the Species: Eldar" Prepared by Professor Askor Vinctun, University of Ogriand. Information contained in the book has been confirmed by Muir forces and the Eldar themselves.
- Eldar is an overdeveloped planet from the Eldar System and homeplanet to Eldarians. Being an overdeveloped society, Eldarians possess a great talent in the scientific and artistic sectors, as well as knowledge on Symbology, but it is not comparable to the contemporary Symbological culture, as of S.D. 12, of other planets, such as Roak and Lemuris. There also is a great military force in place in the home planet. Eldar's culture is very old, and it has developed faster-than-light travel centuries before its contact with Earth around the 2080's.
- "Trust not in their appearance, for the Eldar are as alien to good, honest men as the vile Tyranids and savage Orks. There is no understanding them for there is nothing to understand - they are a random force in the universe." - Imperial Commander Abriel Hume
- Die Geschichte, genauer gesagt die wahre Geschichte Eldars, lag lange Zeit im Dunkeln und es herrschte niemals gänzliches Wissen über sie. Vielmehr war sie geprägt von Wirren und Verwechslungen, mit denen nun aber gänzlich abgerechnet wird.
- [[Immagine:Eldar Alaitoc.gif|right|thumb|250px|Guardiano Eldar dell'arcamondo Alaitoc.]] Nell'universo fittizio di Warhammer 40.000, gli Eldar sono una razza umanoide dai tratti marcatamente elfici. Sono una delle razze più antiche ed avanzate nella storia dell'universo anche se comunque più giovani di Necron, C'Tan e Antichi, da cui discendono (e questo spiega l'incredibile odio che intercorre tra i Necron e gli Eldar, vedi anche La guerra dei Cieli). I loro eserciti generalmente hanno nella velocità e nella tecnologia i loro punti di forza.
- The Eldar teeter upon the precipice of annihilation and this race that once ruled the stars, fights a perpetual battle for survival. Few in number, they are an army of excellence, utilizing highly advanced technology and powerful psykers to defeat their foes.
- More then common belief says is known of the eldars history, most are theories, such as where they came from, and how old this ancient race is. Born before man even evolved from monkeys The Eldar were fighting with The Necrons The Necrons had almost defeated every racein the universe and believed themselves victoriouse, the necron leader then sent his armis to a millenium-long sleep. The Eldar were however left to grow stronger and guarded the necron-worlds from interference and thus awakening the Necrons, but slowly each world was awaken by different reasons.
- Superficially, the Eldar appear very similar to humans, though they are generally taller, and slimmer, with sharp features and pointed ears. They are long-lived by human standards, and most will live more than a thousand years unless they die from accident or disease. Eldar also have much faster metabolic rates than humans, and their cardiac and neurological systems are more advanced. These traits manifest in their vastly heightened reactions and agility compared to humans. To them humans seem to move in slow motion with a certain degree of awkwardness, while to humans the Eldar can move with distracting grace and can be blindingly fast in combat. As a race they have a high level of psychic ability, which serves as the foundation of their technology. The Eldar that actively cultivate their
- Eldar are responsible for the creation of the Chaos god Slaanesh and the location in the 40k universe known as the Eye of Terror. The events that led to the creation of these is known as the Fall of the Eldar and killed many psykers throughout the universe. The Eldar pantheon after the Fall was brought down to three gods: Cegorach, the laughing god, Kaela Mensha Khaine, the war god, and Isha, the goddess of the harvest. Khaine's physical body was shattered in a battle against the Chaos gods Slaanesh and Khorne, while Isha was captured by Slaanesh, then kidnapped from him by his brother Nurgle. The Fall also led to the Eldar losing all worlds they once held, forcing them onto immense spacecraft known as Craftworlds, like that to the right.
- The Eldar were the Elves who were closest to their masters the Valheru. They were their Lorekeepers and Librarians and travelled with them to other worlds on the backs of the Great Dragons when they raided across the Universe. Before the end of the Chaos Wars one group of Eldar fled Midkemia to the world of Andcardia and would eventually become the Taredhel. When the Chaos Wars ended another group of the Eldar went into self-imposed exile underneath the polar ice of Kelewan and establised an outpost called Elvardein to guard against the day that the Valheru returned.
- The Eldar are a race of elf-like humanoids. They are one of the most ancient and advanced races in the universe's history, though younger than the Necrons, C'tan and the Old Ones. Their armies usually have the advantages of speed and technology.
- The Eldar or Aeldari as they were known in the Eldar Lexicon before the fall of their lost realm, are an ancient humanoid alien race whose vast empire once extended the width and breadth of the known galaxy. Their empire was without equal, and they counted themselves masters of the stars. But millennia ago, their overweening pride and their fall into hedonistic practices led to a cataclysm that all but eradicated their kind and led to the birth of the Chaos God Slaanesh. Despite their boundless power, the heart of their civilisation was torn out by this catastrophe of their own making, forcing the surviving Eldar to flee upon gigantic starships called Craftworlds. Now they cling to survival by a thread, fighting the horrors of the galaxy with ritualised discipline and consummate skill. Tho
- "Eldar" is a word from the Tolkienverse that refers to a large portion (but very importantly, not all) of the elves living in Middle-earth and Valinor. The critical difference is that the Eldar are elves who accepted the summons of the Valar and came to Valinor – those who did not are called the Avari and have been referred to as "wild" and "less wise" than the Eldar.
- The ancient history of the Eldar stretches back over the millennia to a time when they dominated the stars against the Forerunners, who also believed themselves to be chosen to inherit the Mantle bestowed upon the Xel'naga. Yet, for all their splendour and might, a terrible curse was brought upon them that sundered their empire forever, the arrival of the parasictic Flood, leaving the ravaged fragments of their race teetering on the brink of annihilation. All of the Eldar alive today are essentially a refugee population, the scattered remains of a formerly vast interstellar empire. Those were not destroyed by the Halo Array, as they hide themselves into the Forerunners' shield worlds. Even in such straits, however, they are still a deadly and influential force in the galaxy.

The island consists almost exclusively from forests and the south part of pasture land. In the forest are very high and old trees and in between the normal deciduous trees. Many rivers rise on this island which flow into the sea.
- Ever since the Fall, the Eldar have been a divided people. Those that didn't want to relive the Fall stayed on the Craftworlds, as Craftworld Eldar. The other half, who wanted to stick to the traditional Eldar ways, which were the cause of Slaanesh's creation, were outcasted and were sent away from the Craftworlds. These were the Dark Eldar, who were seen as traitors by their former brothers and sisters. The Dark Eldar now reside in the dark city of Commoragh, somewhere deep in the webway (an ancient system that allows the Eldar to travel through the Warp with little to no threat from the Chaos gods).

- The Eldar teeter upon the precipice of annihilation and this race that once ruled the stars, fights a perpetual battle for survival. Few in number, they are an army of excellence, utilizing highly advanced technology and powerful psykers to defeat their foes. The Inquisition knows of two eldar craftworld sightings in the Segmentum Obscurum and strongly suspects that the Eldar have a special connection to this part of the galaxy. It is also suspected that the Eldar have more than once mingled in the affairs of Men and in the machinations of the Inquisition especially. Some Inquisitors go even as far as to accuse certain factions in the Inquisition to have regular contact to this xenos race.
- The Eldar were the Elves who were closest to their masters the Valheru. They were their Lorekeepers and Librarians and travelled with them to other worlds on the backs of the Great Dragons when they raided across the Universe. Before the end of the Chaos Wars one group of Eldar fled Midkemia to the world of Andcardia and would eventually become the Taredhel. When the Chaos Wars ended another group of the Eldar went into self-imposed exile underneath the polar ice of Kelewan and establised an outpost called Elvardein to guard against the day that the Valheru returned. Pug found mention of them in the library of the Assembly merely as Those who Watch. Following this discovery he traveled to the polar region mentioned and discovered their Elvardein. It was there he was taught the art of spellweaving by the Eldar, whose leader was Acaila. When the Valheru were defeated at Sethanon the Eldar returned to Elvandar from their self-imposed exile.

- The ancient history of the Eldar stretches back over the millennia to a time when they dominated the stars against the Forerunners, who also believed themselves to be chosen to inherit the Mantle bestowed upon the Xel'naga. Yet, for all their splendour and might, a terrible curse was brought upon them that sundered their empire forever, the arrival of the parasictic Flood, leaving the ravaged fragments of their race teetering on the brink of annihilation. All of the Eldar alive today are essentially a refugee population, the scattered remains of a formerly vast interstellar empire. Those were not destroyed by the Halo Array, as they hide themselves into the Forerunners' shield worlds. Even in such straits, however, they are still a deadly and influential force in the galaxy. Once, over ten thousand years past, the Eldar were the second most powerful race in existence, dominating a significant portion of the galaxy and secure in their prosperity. Although there were other intelligent races who possessed advanced technology and potent military power in the galaxy, none were in a position to seriously threaten the state of the Eldar empire other than the Forerunners.

Now they cling to survival by a thread, fighting the horrors of the galaxy with ritualised discipline and consummate skill. Though highly advanced and feared across the galaxy, the Eldar are a dying people -- a shadow of their former glory -- and their race teeters on the brink of annihilation.

Born before man even evolved from monkeys The Eldar were fighting with The Necrons The Necrons had almost defeated every racein the universe and believed themselves victoriouse, the necron leader then sent his armis to a millenium-long sleep. The Eldar were however left to grow stronger and guarded the necron-worlds from interference and thus awakening the Necrons, but slowly each world was awaken by different reasons. Prior to the Necrons awakening however, the Eldar race manadged to create Slaanesh, the fourth god of Chaos, and the Eye of Terror with him, which killed of nearly all eldar, some became the Dark Eldar, refusing to let go of their old ways, but some remained normal Eldar and guarded against the Necrons. In current times the Eldar are guardians that are rarely seen and unlike common belief, does not oppose mankind and other xeno forces openly, but they would gladely sacrifise the entire universe to save themselves, and keep the universe itself safe from the Necrons.

The Dark Eldar now reside in the dark city of Commoragh, somewhere in the webway (an ancient system that allows the Eldar to travel without ships to any world where there is another webway gate). Three subgroups were spawned soon after this: the Eldar pirates, Exodites and Harlequins. Pirates are outlaws, much like 16th century pirates, who prey on the helpless, but retain the vicious hatred for the opposite kind of Eldar. Exodites are Eldar who haved returned to planet life instead of craftworld life. This has forced them to live in primitive ways. The Harlequins are followers of Cegorach who go between the Eldar and Dark Eldar, putting on plays of the Eldar's history. They are some of the most dangerous warriors in both the Eldar and Dark Eldar forces.
- Eldar is the origin kingdom the of elves and a small neighboring island of Firun. There are living only those elves, who did not participate in the resettlement. The island consists almost exclusively from forests and the south part of pasture land. In the forest are very high and old trees and in between the normal deciduous trees. Many rivers rise on this island which flow into the sea. The southern part where the forest ends, starts a huge willow landscape on which runs to the south coast, there where the famous snow coast begins, as this is covered with limestone. To the west of the small island close to the edge of the forest, there is a harbor where ships can transport the residents to Firun. The realm of elves begins on the edge of the forest where the Pastureland begins. Their living areas lie in the tall trees of Eldar where they have perfect vision and surveillance on the pastures as well as the forest. Even at the port there is a settlement.
- Die Geschichte, genauer gesagt die wahre Geschichte Eldars, lag lange Zeit im Dunkeln und es herrschte niemals gänzliches Wissen über sie. Vielmehr war sie geprägt von Wirren und Verwechslungen, mit denen nun aber gänzlich abgerechnet wird. An seine Jugend hat Eldar kaum noch Erinnerungen, es ist eher so als ob ob diese Zeitperiode aus seinem Gedächtnis fast vollständig verschwunden sei und er sich lediglich noch an einzelnen Bruchstücke erinnert. So glaubte er lange Zeit, dass seine Mutter der Rasse der Ela angehörte, allerdings erwies sich dies in späteren Jahren als ein Täuschungsmanöver, um seine wahre Mutter zu schützen. Über seinen Vater jedoch konnte er Klarheit schaffen. Dies war sein primäres Ziel gewesen, als er zum ersten Mal auf die Erde gekommen war und in Kontakt zu den anderen Streitern dieser Zeit getreten war. Sein Vater war ein Nachtmahr mit Namen Le Rule, ein Mitglied der X-Elite des Königs der Nachtmahren Raiden Sateque. Jedoch ist dies nur die halbe Wahrheit. Le Rule hieß mit vollem Namen Yashiro Le Rule und war Raidens Cousin. Im großen Krieg zwischen den Kijinons und den Nachtmahren wurde Yashiro, um den zermürbenden Krieg zu beenden, gezwungen gegen Lysia, die Tochter Fallermatherons und seine heimliche Liebe, anzutreten. Dieser Kampf, über dessen Ereignis nichts genaues bekannt ist, hatte Yashiro innerlich tief getroffen. Danach war er nie mehr wie zuvor. Erst viel später erfuhr Eldar, dass seine wahre Mutter Lysia war, zu dieser Zeit diente er bereits Raiden und es hatte sich eine große Liebe zwischen Eldar und Raidens Tochter Kaze entwickelt. Auf der Melkaba heirateten sie schließlich und aus dieser Verbindung gingen die Zwillinge Ramirez und Sin hervor. Allerdings wurde die Geburt für Eldar zu Freude und tiefster Trauer zugleich. Kaze starb und dieses Ereignis zeichnet den Nachtmahren noch heute. Nachdem Raiden und das meiste seines Gefolges auf mysteriöse Art und Weise verschwand trat Eldar sein Erbe an und rief sich zum neuen König der Nachtmahren aus. Doch die meisten Planeten hatte sich von Raidens Terrorherrschaft abgewendet und waren froh nicht mehr unter dem Joch der Nachtmahren dienen zu müssen. Zudem wurde Eldars Herrschaft schwer angezweifelt und erst ein Kampf gegen Fallermatheron, die Königin der Kijinons und erbitterste Gegnerin der Nachtmahren, den er gewann, ließ die Kritiker verstummen. In diesem Kampf verwendete Eldar erstmals die berühmten Schwerter seiner Vorfahren, Fear und Verity. Sein jetztiges Ziel ist es das alte Reich der Nachtmahren wieder neu erstrahlen zu lassen.

- The Eldar are a race of elf-like humanoids. They are one of the most ancient and advanced races in the universe's history, though younger than the Necrons, C'tan and the Old Ones. Their armies usually have the advantages of speed and technology. One-time masters of the Galaxy, the Eldar are now few in number and slowly dying out. Those few, however, are among the most dangerous enemies of Man. Following specialized paths of rigorous training throughout their long lives, the surviving Eldar are masters of terrible psychic powers, deadly warrior skills, and incredibly sophisticated technology. Skilled in foretelling the future and manipulating lesser races, the Eldar would gladly sacrifice billions of humans to save a handful of their own.
- Ever since the Fall, the Eldar have been a divided people. Those that didn't want to relive the Fall stayed on the Craftworlds, as Craftworld Eldar.

I loro eserciti generalmente hanno nella velocità e nella tecnologia i loro punti di forza. Le razze di Warhammer 40.000 in genere rispecchiano analoghe razze del precedente Warhammer Fantasy e gli Eldar in particolare richiamano negli aspetti generali gli Elfi. La razza degli Eldar è suddivisa in tre gruppi: vi sono gli Eldar degli Arcamondi simili agli Elfi Alti, gli Eldar Oscuri simili agli Elfi Oscuri e gli Arlecchini Eldar che, invece, non hanno una controparte nell'ambientazione fantasy. Gli Esuli poi, che nell'ambientazione di Warhammer 40,000 appaiono principalmente nel materiale di background, richiamano gli Elfi silvani. La loro formazione in Arcamondi (vedi Eldar degli Arcamondi) e la loro potenza enorme ora ridotta esponenzialmente, ricordano molto la storia dell'Antica Grecia, divisa in città-stato indipendenti, e oramai relegata a potenza militare di second'ordine al tempo dell'Impero Romano.

To them humans seem to move in slow motion with a certain degree of awkwardness, while to humans the Eldar can move with distracting grace and can be blindingly fast in combat. As a race they have a high level of psychic ability, which serves as the foundation of their technology. The Eldar that actively cultivate their psychic potential seem to exhibit a much-extended lifespan as well, one proportional to their prowess. The Farseers of the Eldar can live for several thousand years. Eldar are mentally far superior to humans, and feel all emotions much more strongly, requiring the Eldar to exercise constant restraint to avoid mental break down. Eldar seem to reproduce in stages, with new genetic material being added by the father to the developing embryo over an extended period. This process is ill-understood, but Eldar autopsies are suggestive of it.

Creating a god of hedonism through millennia of nonstop orgies would not happen in Arda.
