View full detailsThe Drukhari are a twisted reflection of their craftworld kin. They dwell in the strange realm known as the webway, inhabiting Commorragh – a cyclopean inter-dimensional metropolis rightly feared as the Dark City. The Drukhari feed on negative emotion, dedicating themselves to a non-stop war with realspace in which they strive to inflict as much pain and misery as they possibly can.
The Drukhari, formerly known as the Dark Eldar, are a faction in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. They are a cruel and sadistic race of Eldar who live in the dark city of Commorragh within the Webway, a network of extra-dimensional tunnels. The Drukhari are distinct from their more noble Eldar cousins, such as the Craftworld Eldar and the Harlequins, due to their sinister and hedonistic nature. Here's an overview of the Drukhari:
Hedonistic Raiders: The Drukhari are notorious for their extreme hedonism and sadism. They derive pleasure from the pain and suffering of others and engage in acts of piracy, torture, and enslavement. To sustain their unnaturally long lives, they need to consume the souls and life force of other beings.
Raiding Parties: Drukhari raiding parties, known as Kabals, scour the galaxy in sleek and fast-flying vessels called Raiders. These Kabals launch raids on other races, taking captives for torture and enslavement.
Commorragh: Commorragh, the Dark City, is the capital of the Drukhari civilization, and it exists within the Webway, away from the prying eyes of the Imperium and other galactic powers. The city is a labyrinthine, multi-dimensional metropolis where debauchery and cruelty reign supreme.
Coven Haemonculi: Drukhari society includes grotesque flesh-crafting Haemonculi who are masters of dark science and create twisted and mutated creatures. They often experiment on their own kind and captives to create nightmarish monstrosities.
Wych Cults: Wych Cults are Drukhari gladiatorial factions specializing in close combat. They engage in brutal arena battles for the amusement of the masses.
Corsairs and Pirates: Some Drukhari renegades and pirates roam the galaxy independently, outside the control of the Kabals, seeking their own forms of sadistic pleasure.
Soul-Driven Technology: Drukhari technology is powered by captured souls, and their dark science is highly advanced. They utilize dark matter weaponry, shadow fields for defense, and other exotic devices.
The Path of Excess: Drukhari society revolves around the Path of Excess, where they indulge in ever-increasing depravity and violence to stave off the soul hunger that afflicts their race.
Eternal Strife: The Drukhari are in a constant state of internal and external conflict, with Kabals vying for power and territory, and the ever-present threat of Slaanesh, the Chaos God of excess, lurking over their civilization.
The Drukhari are a faction defined by their dark and sadistic nature, with a unique aesthetic and gameplay style in the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop wargame. They are a formidable and morally complex adversary within the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40,000.
