Scorched Lotus

The Battle at Lotus
Once known as Lotus, this island is the homeland for the Eldari people, which includes our very own Eldar Kai. A very lush mountainous land full of vibrant flora and gentle majestic fauna. At the heart of this island surrounded by mighty mountain peaks rests their Lotus Temple. This was a harmonious land until the Empire decided to contest the martial prowess of the Eldari. Although Eldar Kai and his generation has displayed some of the greatest martial skill the Eldari people have ever seen, The Empire is a massive civilization. They were able to bring enough soldiers to match each of the Eldari' most skilled defenders with as many as 150 men each.

As the Empire poured into the Lotus Temple, the Eldari Grandmasters were wiping out entire ranks of men with single blows. Likewise the sheer quantity of soldiers present was enough to swallow many of the defenders. However, this was not a long fought battle. The Empire was outmatched, fighting overseas in a land that isn't controlled by them, in a well fortified loaction and against the renowned Eldari. The Empire generals were forced to acknowledge that Lotus would not secede to Empire control.

After the battle many Eldari had fallen and much of the intrinsic architecture had been destroyed. From this day forward the world would know this temple as The Scorched Lotus.
