====Awakening Ynnead====
[[image:PortDem.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Eldrad leads the [[Masque of Midnight Sorrow]] at the [[Battle of Port Demesnus]]{{Fn|88a}}]]In the closing days of the 41st Millennium, Eldrad concocted a scheme worked with the [[Masque of the Midnight Sorrow]].{{Fn|8a}}{{Fn|10c}} to bring about the awakening of [[Ynnead]] through a mass psychic ritual enlisting wherin the crystalized [[Farseer]]s from [[Ulthwé]]'s [[Dome of Crystal Seers]] would be used as conduits to the [[Infinity Circuit]]s of all craftworlds across the galaxy into the ''[[Infinity Circuit|carrecenad]]'' surface of the aid moon of [[Coheria]], temporary joining the spirits of all craftworlds into one place in [[Masque Reality]] creating a psychic beacon magnitudes brighter than the [[Astronomican]] which could guide [[Ynnead]]'s abstract soul from the immaterium into reality – the consequences of which would not be without incident, as fleets across the Midnight Sorrowgalaxy would be thrown off course and the every [[Craftworld]]left temporarily as inoperable dark husks as their Infinity Circuits are left bare awaiting Ynnead's intervention.{{Fn|8}}{{Fn|10c25}} However, he Eldrad was foiled by when the [[Deathwatch]] in employed a [[Stasis Bomb]] at the [[Battle of Port Demesnus]] upon [[Coheria]], an act which defied his farsight.{{Fn|25}}
Eldrad eventually returned to Ulthwé, leading his Ynnari in the [[Battle of Ulthwé|defence of the Craftworld]].{{Fn|10b}} In his reestablished role on Ulthwé's Seer Council he instructed Yvraine and her Ynnari in retrieving the [[Hand of Darkness]] for [[Roboute Guilliman]].{{Fn|16}} Sometime afterwards while exploring the [[Falls of Unshead Tears]] within the Webway, he encountered the Slaaneshi Daemon [[N'Kari]], who attemped to trick him to claim his soul. However, Eldrad was able to drink from the falls, gaining a vision of Ynnead's rise and the full awakening of the [[Necron]]s. The rune of Saim-Hann appeared at the end of his vision, which led Eldrad to believe the [[Craftworld]] held special significance.{{Fn|17a}} To that end, he accompanied Yvraine and the Ynnari alongside a Saim-Hann warhost to [[Zaisuthra]] to potentially discover the last [[Cronesword]]{{Fn|17b}}, though they were ultimately unsuccessful.{{Fn|17c}}
