Of all the Phoenix Lords, Jain Zar is the most devoted to her Aspect Shrines, travelling the Webway to spread and nurture her Aspect's teachings on every Craftworld within reach. When the Phoenix Lord Asurmen raised the first Aspect Warriors, he selected the warrior Jain Zar for her ferocity and speed, whereupon she became the first of her race to lose herself upon the Path of the Warrior and become an Exarch, and then she became the Howling Banshee Phoenix Lord. As such, it is only fitting that the Howling Banshees are perhaps the most feared of all of the Aspect Warriors, since their spiritual ancestors tortured even Khaine. In exchange for his help, Khaine was granted the Howling Banshee Aspect and thus it came into being after the Fall of the Aeldari when the first Aspect Warriors were raised on the Craftworlds. Seeking to end the torment caused by the banshees' constant wailing, Khaine decided to grant Morai-Heg her wish and severed her hand, which allowed her to drink the knowledge contained within her own blood. Legend says that the Howling Banshees Aspect was first created when the Aeldari Crone Goddess Morai-Heg desired the knowledge contained within her own divine blood and to this end sent her daughters, the banshees, to haunt their father, the War God Kaela Mensha Khaine, as he was the only being capable of harming another God.
What is known is that the release of an Aeldari spirit into the Warp is always accompanied by a terrible shriek, one which is felt by the soul rather than heard, and that Aeldari spirits have been known to disperse unexpectedly into the Immaterium during the transference between Spirit Stones or even from a Spirit Stone into a Craftworld's Infinity Circuit. It is said that their cry heralds misfortune and the certainty of coming death, and calls forth dead spirits from the Warp.Įven worse from the Aeldari point of view, are those stories which claim that a banshee's cry may even call the spirits of the dead out from the safety of their Spirit Stones and thus lure them into the waiting embrace of Slaanesh, "She Who Thirsts." A pair of Howling Banshees leap into close combat.Īccording to the tales of Aeldari Mythology, the spectral creatures known as banshees are the harbingers of grief and death.
