Morai-Heg

Morai-Heg was the crone of the Aeldari pantheon, the spinner and keeper of fate, ancient beyond the reckoning even of gods. Where Lileath dreamed the future, Morai-Heg held its threads, and it was said she hoarded the souls of the Aeldari within herself, guarding destiny as a miser guards coin. Grim and inscrutable, she embodied the reckoning that comes for all things.

The great myth of the crone tells how she craved the wisdom that lay in her own blood. She entreated Khaine to sever her hand, and from the wounds she drank deep, gaining knowledge of all fates yet to unwind. The severed hand became, in some tellings, the source of the runes by which her people would one day read the future. Even in agony the crone traded pain for prophecy, a bargain fitting for a goddess of destiny.

When the Great Enemy rose, the crone's hoard of souls became a matter of terrible urgency, for the fate of every Aeldari spirit hung between oblivion and worse. Her memory endures wherever the runes of fate are cast, and in the pitiless calculus of the Drukhari, who cheat their own damnation soul by stolen soul. The crone remains the pantheon's last and coldest truth, that every thread runs at last to its ending, and she alone knows the length of the cut.
