It has been mentioned that Eldar Seers believed the Shadow Spectre aspect to have been lost.{{Fn|1}} This decline is owed to the loss of the aspect's [[Phoenix Lord]], [[Irillyth]]{{Fn|3}}.
All Aspect Warrior shrines represent an aspect of [[Kaela Mensha Khaine]], the Eldar god of war. The Spectre Shrine epitomizes the Eternal Warrior, for whom death is no release from duty. It is therefore appropriate that the Shrine has historically been associated with the [[Wraithguard]]. Traditionally, Eldar who lose their lives in service to the Spectre Shrine have their [[spirit stone]] transferred to a [[wraithbone]] body; in turn, the Wraithguard have acted as guardians of the Spectre Shrine for many milleniamillennia.{{Fn|4a}}

===Exarch Powers===
The [[Exarch]] may study the secrets of the shrine to allow himself and any of his Aspect warriors to go beyond the normal Aspect training.
*'''Cynosure''': The Exarch is skilled in calibrating the Ghostlight, allowing the squad to fire more accurately when the matrix is used.{{Fn|2}}
*'''Withdraw''': Exarchs are skilled at judging the best opportunities for the squad to withdraw, regroup, and take up a new firing position.{{Fn|2}}
The [[Phoenix Lord]] of the Shadow Spectres is [[Irillyth]]{{Fn|3}}, the Shade of Twilight.
