Index Xenos: Ynnari

The rise of Ynnead’s followers promises salvation through death but divides the Aeldari as much as it unites them. Yvraine’s awakening, the devastation of Biel-Tan and the hunt for the Croneswords establish a movement caught between desperate hope, ancient prophecy and suspicion of its own dangerous powers.

Yvraine, Emissary of Ynnead

The Visarch, Sword of Ynnead

The Visarch serves as Yvraine’s guardian, teacher and confidante, his ancient armour carrying echoes of former warriors. His history as an Exarch who once taught her complicates this role, making loyalty and hidden identity central to a figure who appears both familiar and unsettling.
