Blood of Isha
The Blood of Isha are droplet-shaped crystals which, according to Eldar myth, were created from the blood of Isha as she was mortally wounded by Slaanesh. It is said that the crystals heal all woes for any who hold them.[1]
History
Eldar myths tell that as Isha, the mother goddess of the Eldar fell stricken by the Chaos power that is Slaanesh beside her beloved Kurnous during the Fall of the Eldar that in a moment afforded by the maniacally ferocious attack by the Eldar’s bloody handed god of war Khaine as Slaanesh raised its hands to slay the already mortally wounded Isha, she had one gift yet to give to her people, the Aeldari.[1]
Though Isha knew her time was short, and that Slaanesh would soon absorb her, as the drops of her blessed blood fell, she willed them from the Heavens to the realm of mortals, to land on all the worlds of the Eldar. It is said that a few drops fell on each world, as the Eldar were many and far flung then, becoming perfect drops of crystal that heal all woes for any who held them. In this way, Isha would always be with her children.[1]
One such droplet was found on the Maiden World of Davinuus by Craftworld Iyanden.[1]
