Everything below is for the omnissiah. But like, you can read it if you want. Just a synopsis of the video you're watching. 

The Dark Eldar, also known as Drukhari, are a sinister and malevolent faction in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Originating from the ancient Eldar civilization before its catastrophic fall, the Dark Eldar differ from their Craftworld kin by embracing the corruption that led to their society's downfall. They retreated into the Webway, establishing the dark metropolis of Commorragh. This city, vast and labyrinthine, is the heart of Dark Eldar civilization, a place of perpetual darkness and home to millions of Dark Eldar and alien beasts. Commorragh is divided into numerous districts, each controlled by different Kabals, Wych Cults, and Haemonculi Covens, featuring gladiatorial arenas, armories, and vehicle bays​

Dark Eldar society is structured around these Kabals, Wych Cults, and Haemonculi Covens. Each Kabal is led by an Archon, who maintains power through assassination and ruthless governance. Wyches, the gladiatorial warriors, are organized into Wych Cults, performing in arenas for both sustenance and entertainment. The Haemonculi, twisted flesh-sculptors, run the Covens, providing dark technologies and grotesque enhancements. Over time, Dark Eldar suffer from "The Thirst," an all-consuming need to drink the souls of other beings to stave off the leeching effect of Slaanesh, the Chaos God who consumes their souls upon death​ 

Biologically, Dark Eldar possess superior strength, reflexes, and senses compared to their Craftworld cousins, attributed to their physically demanding lifestyle and perpetual conflict within Commorragh. They lack psychic abilities, avoiding them to prevent attracting the attention of Slaanesh. Technologically, Dark Eldar are highly advanced, utilizing anti-gravity devices, dark matter weaponry, and various poisonous and destructive tools. Their weaponry, such as Splinter Rifles, Dark Lances, and specialized close combat weapons, emphasizes speed, precision, and lethality. Vehicles like the Raider and Voidraven Bomber are designed for rapid assaults and devastating strikes​ 

Notable figures in Dark Eldar society include Asdrubael Vect, the supreme overlord of the Kabal of the Black Heart, and Lelith Hesperax, the renowned gladiator and leader of the Wych Cult of Strife. These leaders epitomize the cunning, ruthlessness, and martial prowess that define the Dark Eldar​
