Many eldars were already seeking extremes but the dark eldar do not seem to be the norm of that time. Given time would they have eventually have eventually become like drukhari apart from the few exodites?

    Very good explanation breh. I got a question… Were they actively hunting/farming other species for torture pre fall or this increased massively post fall due to slaanesh

      Both. Pre-Fall they definitely did more to other Eldar because 1) there were more Eldar; 2) some Eldar were willing volunteers wanting to experience more and more extremes. Of course, they also took pleasure terrorizing other species, like children torturing animals.

      Commorragh still has a large slave population of Eldar, in addition to the larger population of captured non-Eldar. Asdrubeal Vect has claimed he was once a slave who managed to take over the city after the Fall, becoming de-facto ruler of the Drukhari. There are very few who would be able to verify this claim, however, since the number of pre-Fall survivors alive in M41 is tiny.

        Good lord just imagine the amount of untold suffering they caused to others. At their height. Or how many slaves ended up in that horror show of slaanesh. Even the society of drukhari as it stands should be more prone to collapse. Guy like vect who has this amount of influence still watches his back. Everyone on commoragh is prone to betrayal. Shit seems more unsafe than an underhive
