Editing Phoenix Lord (section)

=== The Unknown Warp Spider Phoenix Lord ===

Bizarre as it is, while most Aspect Warriors know the identity of their Phoenix Lord, or at least who they might be, the [[Warp Spiders]] don't have a known Phoenix Lord, though there is speculation. Moreover, there are a lot of Eldar that believe the Warp Spider Phoenix Lord [[Omegon|never existed]]. It is theorized that the legendary warrior of Craftworld Kaelor, '''Lhykosidae the Wraith Spider''', may be the Phoenix Lord of the Warp Spiders. This is quite possible as ''Lycosidae'' is the scientific classification for a Wolf Spider, and [[GeeDubs]], being anything but original, does this name-borrowing [[Corvus Corax|often]]. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_spider Wolf Spiders], if you have not experienced their joy, are quick and stealthy. If you blink, you will miss them, much like you will miss a Warp Spider when he teleports.

One probably should not believe Kaelor's account, considering the fact that for some reason they forgot most of their history (not to mention that even ''they'' aren't completely sure if Lhykosidae was actually a Phoenix Lord or not, and he may not even be an Eldar). Although, they do have a copy of ''The Arc of Destiny'' that describes the Craftwars against [[Saim-Hann]] being won by them, thanks to the arrival of the Wraith Spider [[Legion of the Damned|at the right place, at the right moment, at the right time]].

From Kaelor's point of view, the whole Wraith Spider thing is probably just a spiritual awakening that manifests itself exclusively in the Warp Spider Exarchs, supercharging them to the point that they are similar to the Phoenix Lords in power and capabilities. Others suggest that this Wraith Spider entity may be connected to the small [[warp]] critters in the [[webway]] after which the Warp Spider Aspect Warriors are named. The actual Warp Spiders maintain the systems of Eldar [[Infinity Circuit|Infinity Circuits]] and keep the Webway clear of non-Eldar psychic energies, and the Wraith Spider appears when the craftworld suffers from great impurity.

Another theory is that the Wraith Spider may even be a wraith construct that is an organic personification of the Warp. Most Eldar and Imperial experts on Eldar don't actually believe in this and take it with a giant pinch of salt. Thus the truth will probably remain unknown for a very long time...

[[Psychic Awakening]] adds a new development in this as during ''The Greater Good'', a squad of guardsmen come across some very ancient Warp Spider armor. This armor is then promptly retrieved by a pack of Warp Spiders who wipe the squad. While it's equally as likely to be the armor of some forgotten exarch, but with all the sudden appearances and strange developments the possibility of a reawakened Phoenix Lord wouldn't be so out-of-place.
