[[Image:YnnariSymbolTriumvirateOfYnnead.jpg|thumb|right|150px300px|Rune Leaders of Ynnead and the Ynnari{{Fn|7}}]]
The '''{{PAGENAME}}''', also known as the '''Pathless''' or the '''Reborn''',{{Fn|7}} are the members of a newly formed eponymous [[Aeldari]] religious group that worship the [[Eldar God|God]] [[Ynnead]] and believe their race can be saved from the oblivion and from [[Slaanesh]] by the rise of the God of the Dead, and fight tirelessly to fully awaken him.{{Fn|1}} The Ynnari draw from every element of
Aeldari civilisation, united in their belief that Ynnead
==Overview==
Led by Ynnead's Emissary [[Yvraine]], the group is composed of Eldar from the [[Craftworld]]s, [[Eldar Corsair|Corsair]] groups, [[Exodites]]{{Fn|}}, [[Commorragh]] and even from among the [[Harlequin]]s. With their combined might they have become a rising force in the galaxy, who not only seek to bring about Ynnead's birth, but also return the Eldar to the glory their race had before their [[Fall of the Eldar|Empire fell]]. However, the arrogant coercion they employ to save their race has alienated as many Eldar as it has united under Yvraine's command. Worse still, many see the Ynnari as corrupted by the very [[Chaos|daemonic forces]] they seek to thwart, while others believe they are already dead inside. And because of their growing strength, they have drawn the attention of the [[Chaos Gods]], who have now unleashed their forces to hunt down the group wherever they go. Slaanesh in particular seeks to destroy the Ynnari, in order to end the threat they pose to him.{{Fn|1a}}
The Ynnari seek to fully empower Ynnead and defeat [[Slaanesh]]. However, rather than following the expected myth that would require the death of all Eldar to awaken Ynnead, they aim to achieve this in a ritual that would not require the sacrifice of the Eldar Race in the descending [[Rhana Dandra]], a method known as the '''Seventh Path'''. Since the fifth [[Crone Sword]] has been moved into the [[Palace of Slaanesh]], the Seventh Path seems hopeless.{{Fn|5c}}
===Ornamentation===
[[Image:Sign of the Phoenix - Ynnari.jpg|thumb|right|120px|Sign of the Phoenix used by the Ynnari{{Fn|19c19a}}]]The Reborn pledged to Yvraine's banner come from all walks of Aeldari life. They display their adopted allegiance by painting all or portions of their attire with the prominent rich reds, purples, and blacks reminiscent of the ancient aeldari ghost halls and memorial gardens of the ancient [[Eldar Empire]]. Some adopt baroque armour pieces that are reminiscent of ancient days. They adorn themselves with the crosspiece-and-crucible Rune of Ynnead, the Sign of the Phoenix, or a combination of their prior allegiance's icon meshed with one used by the Ynnari. Others may wish to keep their adopted allegiance a close secret, for one reason or another. These Reborn are utterly devoted to the cult and see only one path forward for the Aeldari race - the utter dedication to the deathly creed of the Ynnari.{{Fn|19b19c}}[[Image:YnnariSymbol2.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Ynnari symbol with spirit stone{{Fn|2d}}]]Those who are more recent converts or wish to still pay homage to their former beliefs and ideals, may instead sport a red band of cloth to display one's support of the Ynnari cause. These red bands are typically wrapped around one's upper arm or thigh. This was once an ancient aeldari practice grieving practice, displaying that someone may wish to be left alone in order to mourn the loss of a friend or family member. The Ynnari have since repurposed this ancient cultural practice to show one's dedication to the death cult.{{Fn|19c19a}}

===Awakening Night of YnneadRevelations===
[[File:PortDem.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Eldrad leads the Masque of the Midnight Sorrow at the Battle of Port Demesnus{{Fn|2a}}]]
After the spoiled ritual of the [[Ulthwé]] [[Farseer]] [[Eldrad Ulthran]] and the [[Harlequins]] of the [[Masque of the Midnight Sorrow]] at the [[Battle of Port Demesnus]], which sought to turn the crystal moon of [[Coheria]] into a Psychic Beacon brighter than the [[Astronomican]] which could call to all craftworld [[Infinity Circuit]]s but instead saw Coheria destroyed, first roused [[Ynnead]] from his slumber he imparted a fraction of his will into [[Yvraine]] as she was killed slipped between life and appointed by death{{Fn|19b}} at the hand of [[Corag Hai]] the priestess of [[Morai-Heg]] in the [[Crucibael]] of [[Commoragh]]{{Fn|19a}} – an apotheosis which tore open [[Khaine's Gate]] and triggered a catastrophic [[Dysjunction]]{{Fn|20}} and those that followed her to flee [[Commorragh]] through [[Sec Maegra]] into the [[Webway]] beset by [[Daemonettes]], her [[Bloodbride]]s, allied [[Eldar Corsair]]s, with the [[Visarch]] and his [[Incubi]] becoming the first of the Ynnari.{{Fn|2a}}

===Debate within Ulthwé===
[[File:EldarWarlockGyrinx.jpg|thumb|right|150px|[[Guentilian Onyxblade]] and the [[Gyrinx]] [[Alorynis]]{{Fn|2b}}]]
On [[Ulthwé]], the seer council refused to commit their forces to the Ynnari cause – taking the moment of Yvraine's appearance to censure and exile [[Eldrad Ulthran]]. While arguing in the [[Farseer]]s defense and for direct Ynnari intervention in capturing the [[Crone Swords]]s in the [[Crone World]]s rather than abdicating the responsibility to [[Il-Kaithe]], {{Fn|2b}} Eldar from [[Craftworld]] [[Altansar]] unexpectedly appeared from the [[Webway]] appeared suddenly to plead urgent action within the [[Eye of Terror]]: aware , revealing that Ynnead's nascent consciousness had had a hand in their survival of the millenia within the Eye of Terror.{{Fn|19c}} Aware they could not themselves return to the [[Eye of Terror]] [[Warlock]] [[Guentilian Onyxblade]] slit their own throat to pledge their soul to [[Yvraine]]. Sensing their master within Yvraine, the [[Gyrinx]] [[Alorynis]] began to follow her, the act earning the Ynnari allies among the remaining Altansari. Unconvinced, the Seer Council turned to hostility against the assembled parties before the appearance of [[Kysaduras|Kysaduras the Anchorite]], accompanied by [[Harlequins]] of the [[Masque of the Midnight Sorrow|Midnight Sorrow]], the momentousness of his appearance before the council ending hostilities and settling the debate: the Ynnari would act and those among Ulthwé who wished join them would do so.{{Fn|2b}}
===Belial IV===
[[File:Yncarne.jpg|thumb|righ|200px|The [[Yncarne]] wields ''Vilith-zhar'' the [[Crone Sword|Sword of Souls]]{{Fn|2c}}]]
Together venturing into the [[Eye of Terror]], the ynnari landed upon the [[Crone World]] of [[Belial IV]] where below the silver moon they encountered [[Urien Rakarth]] and the [[Prophets of Flesh]], and the acting as mercenary agents of [[Vect]] who ordered a hunt for [[Yvreaine]].{{Fn|19b}} The melee attracted the [[Daemon]]s of [[Slaanesh]]{{Fn|2b}} – Rakharth equally horrified and exhilarated to learn those [[Haemonculi]] felled were reduced to dust simultaneously in every vat-clone, phylactery, and secret remnant.{{Fn|2c}} In the fray [[Yvraine]] noticed a radius of dull grey [[Spirit Stone]]s devoid of their power and at its center they located the resting place of a buried crone sword, and from within the earth the [[Yncarne]] burst forth weilding ''Vilith-zhar'' the [[Crone Sword|Sword of Souls]].{{Fn|2b}} The second [[Crone Sword]] of Belial IV would have to wait. The force turned towards the ruins of a shattered ancient city, finding and fortifying the museum structure of the [[Memorial Hall of Atransis]] and an immense yellow rune-portal hidden to all but the dead and those who bear their blessing where [[The Soulseeker]], [[Wraithknight]] of [[Iyanden]] ushered them forth into the [[Webway]] beyond while [[Iyanna Arienal]] and her [[Wraith Construct]]s guarded their exit.{{Fn|2c}}
===Iyanden===
[[File:IyandenFoBT.png|thumb|right|300px|[[Iyanden]] [[Eldar Space Fleet]] engages with the [[Space Hulks]] of [[Gara'gugul'gor]]{{Fn|2c}}]]
After long weeks of arduous travel, they found their exit: a hidden portal within [[Vaidh Wayport]] on [[Craftworld]] [[Iyanden]] finding the craftworld under siege by the forces of [[Nurgle]], as many craftworlds across the galaxy faced [[Daemon]] threats,{{Fn|19b}} their [[Asuryani]] and [[Harlequin]] contingents conscripted into battle and the rest sequestered to guest quarters. [[Yvraine]] called upon old debts from her [[Eldar Corsair|Corsair]] allieswho reach the Craftworld within days, and in so doing the remaining Ynnari were brought forth to defend the craftworld, : banishing [[Daemon]]s and the infections they spread. Yvraine asked to be brought to the dead and infectous body of [[Prince Yriel]] who had ended the Nurglite assault, whereupon she plunged the [[Spear of Twilight]] into the Admiral's chest and he was revived: and the spear revealed as the fourth [[Crone Sword]],{{Fn|2c}} the final still on [[Belial IV]], and returned to the revived prince his spear. Within the [[Ghost Hall]]s, [[Iyanna Arienal]] worked with Yvraine to work a miracle of the [[Ynnead|God of the Dead]], moving the consciousness of the warriors within the [[Infinity Circuit]] of Iyanden directly into the infinity circuits of [[Wraith Construct]]s without the [[Spirit Stone]] conduit, no longer would they walk in a waking dream, rather they were given life anew with which they pledged to serve the [[Ynnari]] and end [[Slaanesh]] on behalf of the living.{{Fn|2c}}
