Pre-Fall
Before the Fall, one of the vast trading ships of the Eldar became a host to a small population of a reptilian species known as the Tarellians as well as a small population of another minor species, distantly related to the Dwarf - the Ualdraf, known to the Imperium as Gnomes. Jokingly and teasingly, Eldar that interacted with the crew of the trading ship would call these Eldar, "depraved for having such a lewd and open display of decadence," to which the crew were deeply embarrassed, to the delight of the "customers" and "fellow" Eldar.

The Fall
At the moment of the Fall, the ship had fully received its outfitting towards becoming one of the precious Craftworlds that would be the seeds of hope for the future of the doomed Eldar race. Even during preparations, the host of the ship maintained an insistence on upholding their connection and support of their reptilian companions, whom worked alongside Eldar in the preparations. Fully christened by the onslaught from the Birth of She Who Hungers, a trading ship was no more: the Craftworld Nimethvin surged anew, overflowing with a pocket of Eldar civilization, clinging to hope for life and survival beyond the loss and despair that would see the great and expansive civilization brought to the brink of annihilation.

Post-Fall
In the millennia that would follow, the Craftworld would see to its survival and seek for a lifetime of discipline within charity, goodwill within restraint, compassion within iron will, hope within survival, strength without despair... The road has been long, perilous, and difficult, but the Craftworld survives and persists, beyond these many millennia into the 41st Millennium where hope for a better age lives on.
