According to [[Eldar mythology]], banshees are the harbingers of woe and death whose cry, it is said, heralds ill fate, calling forth dead spirits from the [[Warp]] and forewarning certain death.{{Fn|2}} Legend says that the creation of the Banshees came when the Crone Goddess [[Morai-Heg]] had daughters with the god of murder, [[Kaela Mensha Khaine]]. Banshees were sad to be both mad and cunning, and this is reflected in the modern [[Howling Banshee]] [[Aspect Warrior]] shrine of the [[Craftworld Eldar]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}

Other sources state that the father of Morai-Heg's daughters, the Banshees, is referred to as the [[Kaelis Vara’lanthian]], or 'death god yet to be'. This is an apparent reference to [[Ynnead]].{{Fn|3}}
