===Origins===
Yvraine was the closest living thing in spirit to the [[Eldar Empire|ancient Aeldari]] who existed prior to the birth of [[Slaanesh]].{{Fn|11}} Yvraine was originally born on [[Craftworld]] [[Biel-Tan]]. She walked many paths, from that of dancer to [[Warlock]] to [[Path of the Warrior|warrior]]. She eventually became Eventually exiled from Biel-Tan, she explored every corner of Eldar society. Becoming an [[Outcast]] she travelled the stars with a band of [[Ranger]]s, learning the art of patience. Despite this she still felt restless in her life.{{Fn|5a}}{{Fn|7b}} While travelling aboard the ''[[Lanathrialle]]'', she forsook her loose band of Outcast allies to join the void-faring crew, as she felt the call of the void. After many years and battles as a famed [[Eldar Corsair|Corsair]] leader under , she earned herself the name 'Amharoc', meaning 'Pitiless One' for her viscous streak and keen sense for opportunity. She became a famed Corsair commander and brought great riches to the ''Lanathrialle''. Despite this some among her crew saw her as a pretender in life, only donning each new role superficially to be cast aside without ever truly committing. Yvraine herself admitted there was some truth to this. With every success she would quickly seek out a new challenge. When her crew finally mutinied, Lord [[Aracleo]] took control of ''Lanathrialle'', but had far less and fewer successes without their former captain. Yvraine was exiled at [[Port Vilifact]] in [[Commorragh]].{{Fn|5a}} until a mutiny {{Fn|7b}} Now forced her to flee into the [[Webway]],{{Fn|2}} she had been humbled by her crew and all her former grandeur removed. She struggled to eek out a living on the streets of the Dark City, almost becoming one of the [[Starveling]]s roaming its dark alleys. She fought with every iota of strength she had in order to join the [[Wych Cult]]s, carving out a place through ability alone. Known as the 'Daughter of Shades' in Commoragh, her foreign heritage made her a deliciously controversial figure amongst the ruling classes. Her shrewd displays consisted of stately elegance that would erupt into bloody whirlwinds in a moment, if roused to ire. Her penchant for decisive application of excessive violence endeared her to most, if not all, Drukhari. Again rising through the ranks, Yvraine became a [[Succubus]]. It is debated whether this was through skill alone, or due entirely to the patronage from [[Lady Malys|Malys]], a shrewd and scheming former paramour of [[Asdrubael Vect|Supreme Overlord Asdrubael Vect]]. Regardless, this would eventually lead to a significant blow to Vect's rule being dealt.{{Fn|5a}}{{Fn|7b}} On the [[Night of Revelations]], Yvraine's would fight in the gladiatorial matches of the [[Crucibael]]. She fought many foes before the Daughter of Shades met her fateful to a Priestess of [[Morai-Heg]], [[Corag Hai]]. However, while between life and death she was resurrected by the awakening god [[Ynnead]]. Her birth caused a great [[Dysjunction]] in the Dark City, and together with the [[Visarch]] eluded capture by Asdrubael Vect.{{Fn|2}}

Yvraine later became a gladiator in [[Commorragh]], fighting many foes before falling to a Priestess of [[Morai-Heg]] named [[Corag Hai]] in the [[Crucibael]]. However, while between life and death she was resurrected by the awakening god [[Ynnead]]. Her birth caused a great [[Dysjunction]] in the Dark City, and together with the [[Visarch]] eluded capture by [[Asdrubael Vect]]. Yvraine and the Visarch traveled to Biel-Tan, where the duo gathered together some followers of Ynnead known as the [[Ynnari]]. After [[Battle of Biel-Tan|saving Biel-Tan]] from a [[Daemonic]] invasion by sealing a [[Webway Portal]] on the [[Maiden World]] of [[Ursulia]], Yvraine informed the Seers of Biel-Tan that Ynnead could be fully awakened without sacrificing the Eldar race, a process known as the '''Seventh Path'''. However, opening this path required an Avatar of Ynnead, and during the [[Battle of Biel-tan]] Yvraine performed a ritual on the Craftworld's [[Infinity Circuit]] that gave birth to [[Yncarne]] at the cost of millions of deceased Eldar souls. However, the effort was necessary in order to prevent [[The Masque]] from destroying the whole of Biel-tan's Infinity Circuit.{{Fn|2}}
===Rise of the Primarch===
===Continuing Efforts===
Yvraine has since been forced to avoid a wide array of assassination attempts. These include the hunts of [[Shalaxi Helbane]] and [[Drazhar]], who has been employed secretly by [[Asdrubael Vect]]. Yvraine has repeatedly foreseen herself being slain by Helbane and having her soul consumed by Slaanesh. In her dreams she came to the conclusion that to save herself and thus the Eldar race she had to gather an array of champions from across all the Eldar cultures. She recruited [[Jain Zar]] and [[Lelith Hesperax]] to be her protectors alongside The Visarch and Yncarne. Her visions mandated that the last protector be one of the Harlequin [[Solitaires]], a task that proved difficult.
Following her visions, Yvraine journeyed to the relic world of [[Iachi]] and received two visitors asking for her aid, the [[Harlequin]] exile [[Kyganil]] who told of a fresh cataclysm to come, and [[Sister of Battle]] [[Ephrael Stern]] who spoke of a hidden foe that would turn stars and souls black. She agreed to help the two in exchange for him providing a Solitaire.
