'Can High Elves fall to Chaos?' ever wonder who the Druchii are and what the Cult of Excess is? They worship Slaanesh and Khaine (or Khorne really). Its called the sundering.
That is no longer true since 2008. Now the sundering was caused by the dark gods of the elves rather than Chaos gods and Storm of Chaos stuff that happened didn't.
It's not as obvious as it was, but the hints that Malekith and Morathi are consorting directly with Chaos are still there (while it was explicitly stated in previous versions of the DE book).
However, in an example of typical hypocrisy, Druchii laws ban worship of the Chaos gods, with Morathi's connection to Slaanesh being secret.
My read of things is that the majority of Dark Elves still see themselves as Aenarion's true people, those who are willing to do what is necessary to preserve Elvenkind when their squeamish cousins that exiled them are not. In their mind, worshipping the beings that Aenarion spent his life fighting would be a betrayal of the cause. Thus, regardless of what Malekith, Morathi, and their inner circle may be up to, the majority of the Druchii remain separate from Chaos, believing themselves to still be the fanatical defenders of the world holding the line at all costs against Chaos... rather than its pawns.
