Overview
Yme-Loc Eldar are talented artisans, and their armies are supported by large numbers of Titans, powerful Engines of Vaul, its forces arriving swiftly aboard Grav-Tank transports. Yme-Loc possesses few Wraith Constructs in comparison to other Craftworlds.[9]
Though it is not openly spoken of, the Craftworld also possesses an engine of destruction they have not yet dared to use, powered by the souls of the dead that can scour a continent of life in mere minutes,[2][6] creating a "ghost-storm" that tears souls from their bodies.[9]

Rune Symbol
The symbol of Yme-Loc, the Crucible of Souls, references the crucible within which the smith-god Vaul forged weapons of purest Wraithsteel alloy with the spirits of the victorious in order to wage the War in Heaven. It was in this crucible that the original Swords of Vaul were created. Yme-Loc finds this rune appropriate for they claim that the Eldar's fate is theirs to forge.[2]
