From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
From chapter 6, The Dark Eldar who died in the presense of the world spirit (according to our protagonist) joined it and caused the dragon aspect as they did not wear soul gems. That's nutso, but it's fact so updating to reflect it.

The '''World Spirit''', also referred to as the '''World Serpent'''{{Fn|3}}, is a sentient entity at the heart of every [[Eldar]] [[Exodite World]], made up of the souls of deceased Eldar and similar to the [[Infinity Circuit]]s of [[Craftworld]]s.{{Fn|1}} When an eldar dies in the presense of the World Spirit{{Fn|4}}, or when (as is [[Exodite]] diesfunarary custom), their a soul gem is collected and broken upon the altar of the World Spirit to , that soul becomes one with the World Spirit of that planet.{{Fn|1}}
With a heart comprised of [[Wraithbone]] and [[Giant Reptile|Dragon]] bone {{Fn|5}}, the world spirit spans the planet's surface in a matrix of self-propogating{{Fn|4}} psychoactive crystal grids forming stone menhirs, obelisks, and concentric stone circles through which any Exodite is able to commune with the world spirit, though this is normally done by [[Farseer]]s{{Fn|2}}. The most potent link in the World Spirit network is the [[Royal Circle]]{{Fn|1}}, which houses a World Shrine comprised of the sanctuary of [[Isha]]{{Fn|3}}, and attendant [[Worldsinger]]{{Fn|3}}.
