===Ornamentation===

The Reborn pledged to Yvraine's banner come from all walks of Aeldari life. They display their permanent allegiance by painting all or portions of their attire with the deep reds, purples, and blacks. These colours are reminiscent of the ancient [[Aeldari Empire]]'s ghost halls and memorial gardens. Additionally, they often adopt baroque armour pieces, also reminiscent of the ancient Aeldari. 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|19c}}
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|19a}}
===Runes===
Runes displaying Ynnari allegiance are often coloured in white or black atop the deep red of the Reborn. The Sign of the Phoenix is a complex Ynnari rune and seen on various forces, rallying under the pursuit of the rebirth of their ancient days. The Ynnari's rune of Ynnead, God of Death, is partially derived from that of [[Biel-Tan]]. Differences include having the heart device seen in the Biel-Tan rune symbolically missing. The Ynnari symbol is often worn with a stylised oval at its apex inside the crucible, symbolising the spirit stone taken within. [[Drukhari]] might seek to ingratiate themselves to their more traditional [[Asuryani]] allies by using the craftworlder rune for the Ynnari.{{Fn|2d}}
 
The Sign of the Pheonix,{{Fn|19a}} or Ynnead's rune, is similar to that of the [[Avatar of Khaine]]. Instead of being curmounted with the crown of the Bloody-Handed God, it has an infinity rune. The latter rune appears on Eldar [[wraith construct]]s and is a symbol of the Eldar's eternal spirit.{{Fn|1c}}
