adding detail about human knight worlds
[[Image:Exodite.jpg|thumb|right|A [[Space Marine]] of the [[Salamanders]] battles an Exodite [[Megadon]] rider.{{Fn|1}}]]
==Overview==
The '''Exodites''' are the [[Eldar]] who abandoned their homeworlds before the [[Fall of the Eldar|Fall]], colonizing other planets establishing new cities on [[Maiden Worlds]] of the [[Eldar Empire]] in order to escape the growing decadence of their civilization.{{Fn|10}}
==History==
==Technology==
The [[Exodite World]]s are generally considered backward and rustic compared to the rest of the space-roaming Eldar, although they still possess a good deal of high technology. One of the pieces of technology they have maintained is the [[Infinity Circuit]], although on the Exodite worlds these are known as [[World Spirit]]s and exist in the form of stone menhirs, obelisks, and stone circles all crafted from psychoactive crystal. These are gathered together in a [[World Shrine]].{{Fn|4}} Despite the presence of some technology, these worlds are often agricultural, however, and it is not uncommon for groups of Exodites to exist in a nomadic state, living off roaming herds and seasonal harvests. This is the most common image of the Exodite life.{{Fn|2a}}
==Conflict==
[[Mon-keigh]] [[Knight Houses]] formed during the [[Age of Strife]] after learning Eldar farming techniques during the [[Dark Age of Technology]], and colonized [[Maiden Worlds]] often neighboring those of the Exodites to the point that the Eldar lay claim on severaal [[Knight Worlds]]. The two cultures often clash over resources and the [[Eldar Knight]]s gain prestige through their battles with the [[Imperial Knight]]s.{{Fn|20}}
