no edit summary
All Eldar who tread a path must be cautious, for all of them are dangerous for the Eldar mind. Some Eldar focus and obsess themselves to such an extent upon a path that they become unable to leave it upon completion. They will continue to tread this path until their death. This fate is a terrible one for the Eldar, and such individuals are said to be ''"lost upon the path"''. This can be done on purpose. There are an unknown number of paths, and each of them has further specializations.{{Cite This}}
 
The doomed [[Bards of Twilight]] are also lost upon their path but its name is currently unknown.{{Cite This}}
==Known paths==
There are many Eldar Paths, or '''Ai'elethra'''.{{Fn|4d4e}} The Paths of the Seer and the Warrior are the most well-known, but are just two of the many paths the Eldar may devote themselves to. Some of these other roles are very clearly defined, with their own traditions and behavioural patterns. Others are less structured and offer less guidance. They allow a relative amount of freedom and rely on the inner strength that the Eldar has already attained. These paths involve more civilian and mundane roles such as technicians, civil administrators, fabricators, colonists, traders, explorers, etc. Regardless of their civilian roles, these Eldar still take part in battle as [[Guardian]]s and in other functions which are necessary in any military force.{{Fn|2}}
===Path of the Artisan===
===Path of the Healer===
Those on the '''Path of the Healer''' spend decades healing the wounded and tending to the sick,{{Fn|8b}} and those who excel in the path are known as '''[[Chief Healers''']].{{Fn|11b}} They shave their heads and heal both physical and spiritual wounds with crystals and Trees of [[Isha]].{{Fn|3c}}
===Path of the Mariner===
===Path of the Player===
The '''Path of Player''' is a path in which Eldar keeps myths and legends alive through dance, song and art.{{Fn|8a}} One lost on the Path of the Player is known as a '''Bard''', but the manner in which one becomes lost changes the context of the title, for example a '''or [[Bard of Twilight''' was one whose ]] their dedication to ancient lays and songs , such as the [[Asuryata]],{{Fn|4d}} took them away from their craftworld in search of new heroic tales. {{Fn|11a}} Many Players learn from those lost on the path, and those adheerents to the doomed a Bard Bards of Twilight can be found even amidst the [[Corsair]] fleets.{{Fn|11a}}
