No Good People in the Warhammer Universe

Lox had once pondered a question.

The Webway was an extraordinary creation the Old Ones took pride in, while the ancient Aeldari had been created by the Old Ones as administrators meant to open new Webway routes and maintain its operation.

So if even the ancient Aeldari, a species far weaker than their creators, had survived the War in Heaven, why had the Old Ones been wiped out so completely?

At least, every clue now pointed to the Old Ones' extinction. There was no trace of those creators left anywhere in the galaxy.

Trazyn's answer gave Lox a new line of thought—

What if, at the most critical moment, the ancient Aeldari had turned against their creators and betrayed them? Would that not explain this mystery?
