===The Ritual of Awakening===

Once a year, one of the [[Exarch]]s of a Craftworld is chosen by its [[Farseer]]s to hold the title of [[Young King]].{{Fn|2}} This exarch can be male or female. The Young King is brought before the enormous gates of the Avatar's Chamber, which is covered in stories of various Aeldari myths. Before this they are bathed in incense of dozens of different flower petals, saps of various fruit trees, and oils of countless crushed herbs. The Exarchs of the respective craftworld usher the Young King into the scorching heat of the Avatar's Chamber, and open the gates to the roaring Avatar's domain.{{Fn|10}}

When a Craftworld prepares for a major war, its Exarchs begin to feel the Avatar's call. The Exarchs go to the door leading into the Avatar's chamber. There they begin the ancient ritual to rouse the Avatar, where they anoint the Young King and sing battle hymns. The Young King is given the mantle of the Craftworld, to identify to the Avatar of their allegiance, followed by filling a cup with the Young King's blood. Then the chamber's door opens and wielding The Wailing Doom and the bloody cup in each hand the Young King enters. The Exarchs continue the ritual at the entrance. It may take hours or days, but finally a terrible scream echoes from the chamber and the Avatar rises. There is no sign of the Young King - it is unknown whether the Young King is united with Khaine or is destroyed.{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|8}}

===Avatars at War===

On the battlefield, the Avatar towers above the Eldar warriors, his presence filling them with memories of their glorious past and with savage bloodlust, thus making them more courageous fighters.{{Fn|1}} He is utterly fearless, and often spearheads the Eldar attack, slaying his foes with [[Wailing Doom|The Wailing Doom]], a legendary weapon that can take the form of a sword, axe or spear. The weapon can even smite his foes at a distance, immolating them with a nimbus of burning psychic energy.{{Fn|3}} In melee Avatar crush its foes with a mighty '''Hand of Khaine''' - a molten metal gauntlet that constantly bathed in the still-warm blood of a young Aspect Warrior.{{Fn|6}}
