In the closing days of the 41st Millennium, Eldrad worked with the [[Masque of the Midnight Sorrow]].{{Fn|8a}}{{Fn|10c}} to bring about the awakening of [[Ynnead]] through a psychic ritual 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 moon of [[Coheria]], temporary joining the spirits of all craftworlds into one place in [[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 galaxy 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. However, Eldrad was foiled when the [[Deathwatch]] employed a [[Stasis Bomb]] at the [[Battle of Port Demesnus]], an act which defied his farsight;{{Fn|25}} Suddenly the ritual beyond the skeins of fate, as potentially was his and [[Ulthwé]]'s survival. Eldrad was forced to retreat, with the grim awareness that the energies he had been able to gather were lost to the void.{{Fn|27}}
Rather, those energies found [[Yvraine]].{{Fn|27}} In wake [[Yvraine]]'s apotheosis and the birth of the [[Yncarne]] and the [[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 urged the 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 [[Biel-Tan]]. Truning them from thier duties in the Infinity Circuit and risking the crystal seers to warp corruption in this way was a heinous taboo, and the bridge would risk [[Daemon]] incursion for every moment it was held open; the Seer Council privately disented but nontheless followed their High Farseer in his gamble.{{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 to [[Ulthwé]] was high: three of Ulthwé's finest [[Farseer]]s turned to crystal during the ritual.{{Fn|10b}}
