Harlequins

  
The Harlequins are the followers of the strange Eldar god the Great Harlequin, one of only two Eldar gods to survive the Fall.  The Harlequins are not tied to any particular Craftworld but wander from world to world through the network of interspacial tunnels that binds the Craftworlds together.  Only they know the whereabouts of the Black Library, for they are the keepers of its terrible secrets about the Fall and the true nature of Chaos.  The Harlequins are warrior troubadours whose carefully constructed masques and impressive displays of mime and acrobatics tell the many strange stories of Eldar mythology.  They wear exotic multi-colored costumes, brightly patterned to represent figures from the Eldar myth cycles.  They never show their real faces but conceal them beneath a shifting costume mask which can assume any image at the will of the Harlequin.  When the Harlequins fight in battle their masks are said to reflect the worst nightmares of all those who gaze upon them, causing their foes to quail with supernatural fear.
