  • Prince Yriel
rdfs:comment
  • High Admiral of Iyanden's armada and bastard scion of the House of Ulthanash, Prince Yriel is a consummate Eldar fleet commander. The incidents that shaped much of Yriel's life came when he led a bold attack against an encroaching Chaos Warfleet. His victory over the scions of the Dark Gods was overwhelming, but it temporarily left Craftworld Iyanden all but unprotected. Instead of accolades. Yriel earned bitter censure. Driven by pride, he became an Outcast, vowing never to set foot on Iyanden again. When he left, his followers -- the Eldritch Raiders -- left with him. Under Yriel's leadership, they were to become the galaxy's most feared Eldar Corsair fleet.

  • High Admiral of Iyanden's armada and bastard scion of the House of Ulthanash, Prince Yriel is a consummate Eldar fleet commander. The incidents that shaped much of Yriel's life came when he led a bold attack against an encroaching Chaos Warfleet. His victory over the scions of the Dark Gods was overwhelming, but it temporarily left Craftworld Iyanden all but unprotected. Instead of accolades. Yriel earned bitter censure. Driven by pride, he became an Outcast, vowing never to set foot on Iyanden again. When he left, his followers -- the Eldritch Raiders -- left with him. Under Yriel's leadership, they were to become the galaxy's most feared Eldar Corsair fleet. It is likely that Yriel would never have returned to the world-ship that spurned him had it not been assailed by Hive Fleet Kraken. The flame of Iyanden was all but snuffed out when the Corsair prince led his Raiders in a glorious return. In a daring series of strikes, the hammer of Yriel's attack crushed the Tyranid fleet against the anvil of the Craftworld's guns. On Iyanden's surface he drew forth the ill-fated Spear of Twilight from the Shrine of Ulthanash, a weapon so potent it curses the soul of any who near it. With this mighty artefact he slew the Tyranid leader-beast, and in doing so, unmade its swarms and their connection to the Hive Mind. Yriel was later restored to admiralty of Iyanden's grand fleet. However, in saving his people Yriel had doomed himself. The Spear is no mortal weapon, and cannot be abandoned. Though he technically holds the office of Autarch of Iyanden, Yriel still plies the stars, seeking a way to restore his Craftworld to its former majesty before it finally fades into myth.
