Led by Ynnead’s Emissary Yvraine, the group is composed of Eldar from the CraftworldsCorsair groups, Commorragh and even from among the Harlequins. 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 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 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.

The Ynnari seek to resurrect Ynnead and defeat Slaanesh. However, they aim to achieve this in a ritual that would not require the sacrifice of the Eldar Race, a method known as the Seventh Path.

History

The Ynnari were founded by Yvraine and the Visarch shortly before the Thirteenth Black Crusade and the failure of Eldrad Ulthran to resurrect Ynnead following the Battle of Port Demesnus. Gathering followers from across the Eldar race, their first mission consisted of gathering the ancient Crone Swords and contain the forces of Chaos spilling across multiple Craftworlds. The Ynnari later allied themselves with the Imperial survivors of the Thirteenth Black Crusade and aided them during the Ultramar Campaign. After the resurrection of Roboute Guilliman the remaining Ynnari went back into the Webway
