====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}}
Later during In wake [[Yvraine]]'s apotheosis and the birth of the [[Yncarne]] and the [[Battle Fracture of Biel-Tan]], in an effort to hasten the "Seventh Path"{{Fn|8a}} and bring the [[Ynnari]] close to the [[Eye of Terror]], Eldrad led urged the newly formed seer council of [[Ulthwé]] once more into reckless action: to create a hyperspatial bridge in the [[Warp]] through a great ritual connecting their [[Dome of Crystal Seers|Crystal Seers]] to those of [[YnnariBiel-Tan]] . Truning them from thier duties in the Infinity Circuit and risking the crystal seers to victory warp corruption in this way was a heinous taboo, and helped create the bridge would risk [[YncarneDaemon]]incursion for every moment it was held open; the Seer Council privately disented but nontheless followed their High Farseer in his gamble. However{{Fn|8b}} Opening the passage created a wave of translocation, shunting [[Imperial]] ships light-years away from their destinations and tore open [[Gellar Field]]s, but the Ynnari moved through without incident save a few driven to fear seeing the raw [[Warp]].{{Fn|25}} The cost in doing so to [[Ulthwé]] was high. Three : three of Ulthwé's finest [[Farseer]]s turned to crystal during the ritual that opened the portal through which the Ynnari made their escape.{{Fn|10b}}
For aiding As [[Yvraine]] thanked the [[YnnariSeer Council]] for their help, the council took the moment to instead turn against Eldrad accusing him of misapropriating his role as leader of Ulthwé: for the tunnel he had built and the the farseers turned to crystal, for the wayward arrogance he displayed on [[Coheria]], {{Fn|8b}} sacrificing both an [[Ulthwé]] and [[Saim-Hann]] warhost in the effort{{Fn|25}} and knowingly in the skeins dooming [[Biel-Tan]],and for the perverse use of the [[Dome of Crystal Seers|Crystal Seers]] in both efforts.{{Fn|258b}} Eldrad Yvraine spoke in his defense, and her Biel-Tani followers urged Ulthwé's aid. The council was exiled from Ulthwé interrupted by its the appearance of the [[Altansar]]i, who pledged themselves to the Ynnari and urged Ulthwé to join as well but the steadfast refusal fo the Seer Councilsoured to blows until the [[Harlequins of the Midnight Sorrow]] appeared with [[Kysaduras|Kysaduras the Anchorite]]. The Ynnari would continue, Kyasduras and a contingent from Ulthwé would join, the seer council would not stop them: Eldrad would join them, now in exile.{{Fn|8b}} Despite his exile, Eldrad continued to guide the Ynnari and formed his own group known as [[The Exiles]], renegade [[Seer]]s who continue to follow the strands of fate which keep the [[Rhana Dandra]] at bay.{{Fn|10b}} He next appeared on [[Kalisus]] in the [[Cadian System]] as a member of the [[Ynnari]] to guide several Imperial survivors of the destruction of Cadia into the [[Webway]].{{Fn|9}}
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}}
