BielTan

Biel-Tan is one of the Eldar craftworlds in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Like other craftworlds, it is a vast, self-sustaining starship that carries a population of Eldar and their seers through the void. Biel-Tan is particularly noted for its martial orientation and its emphasis on combat readiness, discipline, and the mastery of warlike arts. The craftworld preserves traditional Eldar lifeways and the Paths that guide individual lives, with many inhabitants dedicating themselves to the Path of the Warrior.

Leadership on Biel-Tan is typically provided by a combination of Farseers, Autarchs, and a council representing the warrior and seer orders. Farseers supply strategic guidance and auguries, while Autarchs command the craftworld’s military forces during campaigns. The population maintains a network of battle-oriented shrines and guardian orders that can be deployed for defense or in pursuit of broader Eldar aims.

In its relations and warfare, Biel-Tan often emphasizes a militant stance within the Eldar pantheon. It has been involved in major conflicts across the galaxy in defense of the craftworlds and the broader Eldar race, and it participates in diplomacy and alliance-building with other Eldar factions as circumstances require. The craftworld’s actions are typically framed by a desire to secure a future for the Eldar and to avert further threats from Chaos, raiders, and other adversaries.

In Warhammer 40,000 lore, Biel-Tan appears across codices and supplementary materials as a central Eldar faction, frequently depicted in battles and campaigns that illustrate its martial traditions and strategic role within the broader Eldar civilization.
