===Path of the Outcast===
[[Image:OutcastSymbol.jpg|thumb|right|Path of the Outcast symbol{{Fn|5b}}]]
Those who desert the Eldar Path are known as Outcasts and follow the "Path of the Outcast". The intensely capable Eldar mind sometimes rebels against the highly structured delineation of achievement which the Eldar Path offers. Without the protection of the Eldar Path an individual is likely to be driven crazy and eventually succumb to self-destructive urges. The worst fate of all is the ''Path of Damnation'', but no Eldar will speak of this aberration and so almost nothing is known about it.{{Fn|2}}
Sometimes young, inexperienced or disgraced Eldar leave their craftworlds to wander among the stars. Thereby they break out of the cycle of paths and go through a period of great danger. This period is sometimes called the ''Path of the Outcast'', ''Path of Wandering'', or the ''Path Way of DamnationDanger'', {{Fn|12}} but these names are technically wrong as these Eldar are completely outside of the cycle of paths.{{Cite This}} Outcasts and renegades without ties or allegiance to any craft-world are known as '''Eshairr'''.{{Fn|1b}}
