- "Honor binds us."
- — Arei motto
A small, but a warlike craftworld, by common opinion is considered very gloomy and harsh in comparison with other Eldar craftworlds. They are in constant combat readiness and participate in small military conflicts throughout the galaxy, the craftworld is not accustomed to standing in one place and constantly travels the galaxy. They appreciate the honour and dignity above all and are ready to come to the rescue the allies with ease if they consider it worthy of the warrior's honour.
History[]
Before the Fall[]
Eldar who entered the Craftworld Arei despised their "fallen" brothers, they placed the remains of their lost culture and saved many of their race. Basically on Arei came followers of the goddess Lileath therefore in the craftworld there was not a strong split of society and after the Fall Arei easily rallied. Even before the beginning of the Fall craftworld Arei has long been in the way and watched from the side, in the inevitable death of his race.
After the Fall[]
Those who saw the death of their race, Arei for a long time drifted outside the galaxy trying as far as possible to stay away from the Eye of Terror. Many Eldar of Arei believed they were alone in the universe and only after almost two millennia with Arei contacted the Craftworld Alaitoc.
