Changes

Yvraine was the closest living thing in spirit to the [[Eldar Empire|ancient Aeldari]] who existed prior to the birth of [[Slaanesh]].{{Fn|5a}}{{Fn|7b}} She is called the ''True Child of the Aeldari'' by some.{{Fn|2a}} She has travelled through every corner and strata of Eldar society, moreso more so than any Eldar alive today. Her early chapters wer of a varied and turbulent life. At some point earning the name 'Opener of the Seventh Way' in reference to her ability to eschew strict adherance adherence to a single calling, a rare trait amongst the Eldar.{{Fn|11a}} Many believe she is the Opener of the Seventh Way and nemesis of [[She Who Thirsts]], as spoken of in [[Kysaduras the Anchorite]]'s [[Prophecy of the Hidden Path]].{{Fn|2b}}

Now forced her to flee into the [[Webway]],{{Fn|22x}} 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. Her mercurial displays of stately elegance suddenly erupting into bloody whirlwinds if roused to ire, were nothing new, this behaviour was welcomed in the Dark City.{{Fn|5a}}{{Fn|7b}} Her penchant for decisive application of excessive violence endeared her to most, if not all, Drukhari. With with countless foes bested in the arena with cruelty and fury, The [[Bloodbride]]'s fame would grow. Large crowds would pay increasingly high prices to see her fight.{{Fn|11a}} Known as the 'Daughter of Shades' in Commoragh, the gladiatrix's outsider heritage made her a deliciously controversial figure amongst the ruling classes. Again rising through the ranks, Yvraine became a [[Succubus]]. It is debated whether this was through skill alone, or due entirely to her 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}} Some even said she had potentially become a worthy opponent for Her Excellence, [[Lelith Hesperax]].{{Fn|11a}}

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|22x}}

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|22x}}

Gathering more followers, including elements from [[Ulthwé]], [[Harlequins]], and [[Altansar]], Yvraine led an expedition to recover the [[Crone Swords]], relics vital to the Seventh Path. After being offered the soul of Altansar Warlock [[Guentilian Onyxblade]], Yvraine gained her [[Gyrinx]] [[Alorynis]] as a familiar. The adventure led the Ynnari to [[Belial IV]] and eventually [[Iyanden]], where she led the [[Battle of Iyanden|successful effort]] to save the Craftworld from a [[Nurgle]] invasion.{{Fn|22x}}

After gathering the Crone Swords the Ynnari next undertook an expedition into the Webway to the world of [[Kalisus]] in the [[Cadian System]], battling [[Ahriman]]'s [[Thousand Sons]] along the way. During [[War in the Labyrinth|the battle]], Yvraine demonstrated her ability to resurrect [[Rubric Marine]]s, but she quickly killed the [[Chaos Space Marine]]s once Ahriman had agreed to spare her.{{Fn|22x}}

On Kalisus, Yvraine was part of the Eldar expedition that met the [[Imperial]] survivors of the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]]. There they forged an alliance with [[Humanity]], guiding them to [[Ultramar]].{{Fn|22x}} On [[Macragge]], Yvraine worked closely with Belisarius Cawl to resurrect [[Roboute Guilliman]]. After Guilliman is reborn, Yvraine and the Visarch bid their farewells to the Imperials.{{Fn|3}}
