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]] funarary funerary custom) a soul gem is collected and broken upon the altar of the World Spirit, 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}}.
