I was at work today, bored out of my mind, when an idea occured to me; what do The Eldar think about The Emperor? I mean, I know the Eldar have their own concerns in the galaxy; The Necrons, Chaos and Slannesh, and so on. We all know The Emperor preached about not trusting The Eldar, and how inhuman they were, but, if any two races could be considered 'friendly', it'd have to be humans and eldar.
Now, we all know how The Emperor, according to The Horus Heresy novels, refutted any claims that he was a god, but, let's be honest; not everything matches up. The Emperor performed some pretty miracolous things during his life time, and, the power of The Imperial Faith cannot be questioned in the current time setting.
So, that's my question; what did The Eldar think about The Emperor at the dawn of The Great Crusade? What do they think about him now? How do they reconcile their own assumed superiority in the face of the 'miracles' that are constantly (and sometimes, falsely) contributed to him?
