While the intervention of the Imperial Deathwatch interrupted the ritual before it

could be completed, the god of the dead was partially awakened, and sought out a
champion and prophet to complete his rise in the form of Yvraine, the Daughter of
Shades. Yvraine founded a new Aeldari faction dedicated to the Whispering God's
resurrection known as the Ynnari.

The Ynnari, with members drawn from the Craftworld Aeldari, the Harlequins, the
Asuryani Outcasts and the Drukhari of Commorragh, seek the restoration of the
ancient Aeldari race by collecting the artefacts known as the Croneswords from
across the galaxy.

Their combined ritualistic use at a single focused point in realspace will allow
Ynnead to fully manifest his power in the Warp, where he will combat Slaanesh,
hopefully destroying the Prince of Chaos and freeing the Aeldari from the soul-
devouring curse of She Who Thirsts forever.

Only then will the Eldar people, restored to the unity of the ancient Aeldari, seek
to rebuild a new and better interstellar empire.

Other Gods
Kurnous, God of the Hunt - Kurnous was the father of the Aeldari race and the
companion and consort of Isha. He is often shown in conjunction with hounds, hawks,
and other trappings of the hunt. Along with his wife Isha, the goddess of the
harvest, he too was imprisoned by Khaine for violating Asuryan's edict against
communion between the gods and mortals, an act which helped to unleash the mythical
War in Heaven and the battle between Khaine and the smith god Vaul.
Gea - Gea was a minor goddess who existed within the ancient Aeldari pantheon. She
is notable for being the consort of the twin deities Khaine the Bloody Handed God
and Asuryan the Phoenix King.
Hoec - Revered amongst the near-invisible assassins known as Pathfinders, the
mysterious wandering Aeldari divinity named Hoec is said to be one with the Webway,
and has walked the paths between planets since the stars themselves were young.
Lileath, Goddess of Dreams (also known as Lilcarth) - Lileath the Maiden was the
goddess of dreams and fortune in the Aeldari pantheon.
Cosmic Serpent (Dromlach) - In Aeldari mythology, the Cosmic Serpent, also called
Dromlach, is the only creature believed to exist in both the material and the
psychic universes at the same time. Hence, the Cosmic Serpent is said to know all
secrets past and present. The Cosmic Serpent and his strange and capricious young,
including Starweaver, Voidweaver, and Skyweaver, acted as allies to Cegorach. The
Serpent freely gave his aid to the Laughing God and even allowed him to ride upon
his back. The Harlequins have since gone on to name many of their vehicles of war
after the Cosmic Serpent and his offspring. Dromlach, the Cosmic Serpent, is also
described in various other species' mythologies, creation myths, and folk legends,
including that of the native Baalite religion. Dromlach is used as a metaphor for
death by various cultures, a symbol of the journey from one state of existence to
another. Dromlach is described as having been born of belief, and exists outside of
time of space. The Eye of Dromlach, a location once referenced by Inquisitor
Bronislaw Czevak, is an Aeldari site of great importance that contains a Webway
gate. Saim-Hann means "Quest for Enlightenment," for the Aeldari Lexicon word for
snake and secret knowledge is identical: Saim. The Asuryani of Craftworld Saim-Hann
bear the world-rune that represents the Cosmic Serpent as their heraldry,
emblazoning it on the cowlings of their jetbikes, grav-tanks and air support.
Relations With Other Races
As with most of the primary factions in the 41st Millennium, the Eldar have no
particular love for any of the other major intelligent races in the universe.
Though they abhor the Forces of Chaos more than any other since they have lost more
than most civilisations to the predations of the Ruinous Powers, they do not
particularly desire to share their knowledge or co-exist with their fellow space-
faring species. They have been known to trade and have relations with the other
Elder Races.

Mankind

Relations between Mankind and the Eldar were not always sour, but perhaps the
current state of warfare between the Eldar and the species they derogatorily refer
to as the mon-keigh (literally "mammals" in the Eldar Lexicon, though with a
derogatory meaning closer to "monkeys" in Low Gothic) could be blamed on the events
preceding the Horus Heresy -- most notably, the meeting between Fulgrim, Primarch
of the Emperor's Children Legion of Space Marines and the Eldar Farseer Eldrad
Ulthran upon the Eldar Maiden World of Tarsus during the Great Crusade. Both
leaders had come in peace to discuss the Imperial Compliance of the planet and
Fulgrim's willingness to ignore Imperial doctrine on the matter and leave the
Eldar's Maiden Worlds unconquered by the Imperium, but the main issue that Eldrad
was attempting to pursue was that the Imperial Warmaster Horus had turned to Chaos,
and sought to betray the Emperor of Mankind. However, Eldrad was unaware that
Fulgrim had already been tainted by contact with the Slaaneshi daemonblade that he
had recovered from the world of Laeran, and the supposedly peaceful meeting soon
turned into a bloody battle when Ulthran sensed that the Emperor's Children had
already been corrupted by She Who Thirsts. Being that Fulgrim was unaware of the
existence of a Chaotic taint on himself and his Astartes, or even what Chaos was at
the time of their meeting with the aliens, the Ulthwe Eldar's actions were seen as
a betrayal and great insult to the offer of friendship and peace that Fulgrim had
offered them with the Imperium of Man. Hence, Mankind and the Eldar have been at
nearly open war since the days of the Horus Heresy.
