The Eldar are known to be a very spiritual people, and much of their culture is based around their mythological cycles. The most famous of these cycles was the [[War in Heaven (Eldar)|War in Heaven]], an epic conflict between the Eldar deities, in two factions lead by [[Vaul]], the god of the forge, and [[Kaela Mensha Khaine]], the god of war.

*The [[Eldar Armoury]] includes the standard [[Shuriken]] weaponry that uses gravitic forces to fire monomolecular-thin discs at the enemy. The Eldar use these weapons in the form of Shuriken pistols, Shuriken cannons, and a light carbine known as the Shuriken catapult.
*[[Spirit stone]]s - When the Eldar die, their souls are in danger of being devoured by the [[Chaos]] god [[Slaanesh]]. To prevent this, the Eldar wear spirit stones, which capture and contain their souls at the moment of death. These stones are then collected and inserted into the [[Craftworld]]'s "Infinity Circuit", where they may rest along with the spirits of their ancestors. In times of need, the spirit stones of the Craftworld's strongest warriors may be taken from the Infinity Circuit and placed inside [[Wraithbone]] automatons, such as the [[Wraithguard]] and [[Wraithlord]]s, to once again fight for the Craftworld.
*'''[[Wraithbone]]''' — The main construction material of the Eldar, and the staple of their psycho-technic engineering. It is brought forth from the warp and shaped by [[Bonesinger]]s through psychic power. It is used to create the [[Craftworld]]s of the Eldar, their tanks and other vehicles, constructs such as the [[Wraithguard]] and [[Wraithlord]]s, and weapons and armour. It is a psychic conductor and so not only provides the structure for the things built of it, but also power distribution and communications. Wraithbone is a highly resilient material, and capable of limited self-repair. It, and the other building materials of the Eldar, will grow and react more like tissue and plants than the building materials of other races.
