Who made the tau?

By Professor Tanhauser, in Deathwatch

Ok there was a nice thread that had this topic in it as a spin off, so let's give it it's own thread.

Who created the Tau?

I read the outer reach and loved it, great work. One small critique: The writer over used the word "slumber" too much. Seriously, that word and variants (slumbered, slumbering) were waay over used. There were other terms he could have thrown in, like "torpor" and "dormant" along with their tenses and variants.

Anyway, critique aside, I see that the necron regent, after having a hot mess dropped in his lap by his crippled king, looked around the galaxy and made a few guesses about things. He looked at the Tau and wondered where they came from. He suspected they were the work of one of the Old One's creations.

Since we can pretty safely assume the orks didn't make the tau :rolleyes: I'd guess that leaves the Eldar as a likely suspect.
