Faceted glassy spheres{{fn|2a}} of gem-like polished psycho-receptive stone{{Fn|3a}} crystals called ''carrecenad'' or '''soul-stone'''.{{Fn|6}} It is a well kept secret even among the Eldar themselves that spirit-stones are actually formed from the psychic energy of the ghosts of eldar Eldar who died during the [[Fall of the Eldar|Birth of Slaanesh]], their spirits tormented forever by Slaanesh to see the lives they can no longer possess and to reenact their death, after each cycle of which they leave behind Spirit Stones on the [[Crone World]]s within the [[Eye of Terror]]{{fn|2b}} which disolve once more into the [[Warp]] unkess collected.{{Fn|8}} [[Eldar Mythology]], which is the living history of the eldar, tell of the origin of Spirit Stones in the ancient past as the "Tears of Isha" which were forged by [[Vaul]] such that [[Kurnous]] and [[Isha]] could speak with the Eldar without [[Asuryan]] knowing{{Fn|2a}} – This is taken today as a metaphor for the crystallization of the psychic energies within the Eye of Terror associated with the [[Fall of the Eldar]].{{Fn|2b}}

The [[Asuryani]] will go to incredible lengths to perserve preserve and recover Spirit Stones.{{fn|3a}} In the context of a warhost the primary duty of a [[Spiritseer]] is to recover Spirit Stone,{{fn|5b}} but beyond it the task falls to [[Ranger]]s on the [[Eldar_Path#Path_of_the_Outcast|Path of the Outcast]] to do the extremely dangerous task of delving across ancient fields of battle and into the [[Eye of Terror]] itself to recover and find new Spirit Stones.{{Fn|5c}} It is only in this capacity that any relations are kept with the [[Chaotic Eldar]], such as those in the [[Tyrakesh Archeomarket]] on [[Arach-Cyn]] who trade with rangers for collected Spirit Stones.{{Fn|11}} Quests may be taken by [[Wraithknight]]s to raid [[Crone World]]s of their Spirit Stones,{{Fn|9}} as famously was the task of the [[Twelve Outcasts of Alaitoc]] in '''334.[[M36]]''' – the first since the fall to recover new Spirit Stones.{{Fn|5a}} Exodites too wear Spirit Stones, although the providence of such stones is yet unclear.{{fn|1b}} Not all Spirit Stones recovered on [[Crone World]]s are empty, and while some contain the immortal essences of great scholars and heroes of the [[Eldar Empire]] more often they contain a malevolent soul that rages at it's confinement within the crystal.{{Fn|4a}}
