==Technology==
The Exodite approach to technology is drastically different from their [[Aeldari]] cousins, viewing the rigor of physical labour as better for their souls than the convenience of technology (e.g. choosing to climb stairs rather than use [[Gravatic ImpellersGrav-vehicle|gravitic impellers]]),{{Fn|19}}), but their mastery of ancient [[Eldar]] technologies has not atrophied. When threatened with war, all prohibitions are set aside{{Fn|25}} and the Exodites empty their armouries of ancient weaponry to become a deadly fighting force. Exodites generally prefer to make their tools and clothing from materials native to their [[Maiden World]], as psychoplastics like [[Wraithbone]] are scarce, but Exodites will substitute [[Dragon]] bone in their [[Bonesinger|Bonesinging]]{{Fn|6}} and will otherwise trade with the [[Craftworlds]] for any materials they cannot create themselves.{{Fn|2a}} Their intentional neglect of technology, and demand for Craftworld materials, has lead to the mistaken belief among the [[Asuryani]] that the [[Exodite World]]s are backward and rustic.{{Fn|2a}} Like their [[Asuryani]] cousins, Exodites wear spirit stones, although their stones are shattered on altars{{Fn|2a}} and the [[Worldsinger]]{{Fn|15}} joins their spirits with the [[World Spirit]] when they die.
In times of war, Exodites will don [[Mesh Armour]]{{Fn|2a}} and armour of bone{{Fn|2a}} under robes and capes of rough loose woven fabric{{Fn|27}} to protect themselves, all manner of scrimshaw jewelry and decorations crafted from local wildlife,{{Fn|6}} and wield a variety of weapons including [[Ranger Long Rifle|Long Rifle]]s{{Fn|2a}}, [[Lasguns]]{{Fn|2a}}, [[Shuriken]] weapons{{Fn|2a}}, and [[Power Blade]]s.{{Fn|2a}} Exodite champions will sometimes travel the galaxy, often among the [[Ranger|Outcasts]] and [[Corsairs]] and in that time collect wargear and relics of immense power. [[Dragon Knights]] will mount horse-sized and giant flying [[Dragon]]s, exodite royalty ride [[Eldar Knight]]s{{Fn|20}}, and other Exodites will attend howdahs mounted on the backs of herd [[Dragon]]s with [[Support Weapon Battery|Heavy Weapons]]. Exodites remain wild and powerful seers{{Fn|2a}}, and fight with retinues of [[Warlock]]s and [[Farseer]]s.{{Fn|22}} Exodites are among the galaxy's greatest animal trainers, with nearly every [[Kurnite Hunter]] learning their menagerie on [[Exodite World]]s{{Fn|28}}, and will routinely employ creatures like the [[Faolchú]]{{Fn|28}}, [[Wyvach]], or [[Raptorhounds]] to patrol and hunt.{{Fn|26}}
