    Thanks. I looked in to the character before making a sheet for him, else I would have had no idea beyond seeing them in lore and in DoW lol. I appreciate the help though.

    Deran asked me some questions on the side, it might be helpful to others so here's my response:

    Each shrine's size is dependent on how many 'apprentices' the Exarch is willing to teach and lead, and how many actually come to the Exarch to be a Warrior underneath their mentorship.
    There are an indefinite number of shrines per aspect per craftworld. There are definitely multiple but because there's no good way to even estimate the Eldar population or even how many craftworlds there are, we have no idea how many exist per craftworld. There are usually multiple per craftworld and there are often multiple that are dormant with a suit of empty Exarch armor waiting to be donned by the next warrior that becomes trapped on the path.

    When a craftworld's warhost goes to war, multiple shrines of each aspect are often summoned. So that's why it's fine for us to have multiple Exarchs and shrines. A shrine, for lack of a better term, is basically just a squad or fireteam's worth of Eldar, being taught and lead by an Exarch.

    One Exarch per shrine. Period.

    Each shrine is both a literal shrine and a group of Eldar under an Exarch. There is dedicated space on the craftworld for the Exarch to set up appropriate training and practice grounds to perfect and spread their art and that is the physical aspect shrine. The group of Eldar that train under that Exarch as warriors and train in that particular shrine are also called a 'shrine' in reference to their association with the Exarch and his training grounds.

    Eldar do not have 'squads' or 'platoons' or any such structure. Just a group of shrines lead by Exarchs led by an Autarch or Autarchs. Warlocks and Seers are support and advisors, but not actual military. Guardians and vehicles mean that sh*t got real and we're summoning the 'conscripts' and big guns. An Avatar is a complicated beast that requires an Exarch (just the person, not the armor) be sacrificed, and although serious conflict usually brings an Avatar into the field, many times the Eldar choose to wait on that because it's an Exarch lost until someone replaces them.

    --------------
    As much as I love lore and enjoy accuracy, I don't want to make us deal with all the minutia. We've got half a dozen other armies to play as well! We don't have time to bother with all the details, so I won't be breathing down your neck if you miss some Eldar facts as I know you don't have time to be bothered by them all. I just hope to make this all easily understood. ^_^

    Good lord we got Nate for the Eldar around :p for CSM I expect also much required aid, similar for Sororitas and Imperial Guard.... For the Tau, well there is me! (I understand slightly above average about Tau I believe)

    anyway, thanks Nate! :)

    Forgot that you had been the guy who switched to Spiritseer, sorry! :)
    still need your guys character sheets, but will continue / start the mission anyway! :)

    Just a little note, idk if you like to, but you might also copy and paste the shadow spectre here:http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/roleplay-character-database.5167/page-3#post-251159

    I basically mean just random unimportant details that an inquisitive eldar would like to know.

    There's a bit of a pause here...I'm just standing by for the Spiritseer's response or some details regarding the wraith constructs' numbers, directives, and what they're allowed to do.

    Then it'll be total improv briefing, go!
