→History
The Ynnari were founded by [[Yvraine]] and the [[Visarch]] shortly before the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]] and the failure of [[Eldrad Ulthran]] to resurrect Ynnead following the [[Battle of Port Demesnus]].{{Fn|3}} Gathering followers from across the Eldar race, their first mission consisted of retrieving the ancient [[Crone Sword]]s and containing the forces of [[Chaos]] spilling across multiple [[Craftworld]]s. The Ynnari later allied themselves with the [[Imperial]] survivors of the Thirteenth Black Crusade and aided them during the [[Ultramar Campaign]]. After the resurrection of [[Roboute Guilliman]] the remaining Ynnari went back into the Webway.{{Fn|2}}

Since the [[Psychic Awakening]] began, the Ynnari efforts against Chaos have intensified. Yvraine has been able to gather a great many allies to herself but now also finds herself beset by enemies, most notably [[Asdrubael Vect]]{{Fn|5a}} and [[Shalaxi Helbane]]{{Fn|5b}}. Helbane has managed to move the last of the fabled [[Crone Sword]]s into the [[Palace of Slaanesh]]. These relics are said to be necessary to defeat Slaanesh without the need to sacrifice the whole of the Eldar race in the [[Rhana Dandra]]. Rather than despair at her apparent hopeless situation, Yvraine continues to search for another path to defeat Slaanesh.{{Fn|5c}}
