{{Template:Spoilers}}

Prince Yriel's Spear of Twilight is revealed to be one of the five Swords of Morai-Heg needed by the Ynnari (no that's not a misnomer, the swords can shapeshift into any weapon). Prince Yriel nears the end of his life where the Spear of Twilight will burn his soul. A Chaos Fleet attacks and Yriel leads a boarding party to the heart of the possessed, living flagship; literally, the thing has a flesh and blood heart and is full of giant tentacles (not the naughty kind) and guarded by a Daemon Prince of Nurgle. Yriel fought the Daemon Prince but the Spear didn't kill it, so instead he used the Spear to strike the heart and destroy it. However the Spear took a lot out of him. One of the tentacles grabbed a girder and struck the fatigued Yriel with it, killing him immediately.

Then the Daemon Prince decided to have some Nurgle-style fun with the Eldar. The daemon loaded up Yriel's corpse with tons of diseases that would infect the people of Iyanden when they tried to inter his body, encased the corpse in a giant booger (yes really) and fired it off into space towards the Craftworlder's fleet. Fortunately for the eldar who retrieved the grisly find, Yvraine sensed the spoor of psychic energy - apart form seeing the obvious sickly cocoon - and had Yriel's corpse quarantined in an isolation chamber. She had Wraithguards, who were immune to the diseases, crack open the daemonic cocoon before vaporizing it along the released diseases. With the daemon's plan thwarted, Yvraine went into the chamber to tend to Yriel. Ironically, the Spear's sapping of his life-force was his salvation, as Yvraine was able to resurrect him by returning some of the life force it had stolen to his corpse via stabbing it in the chest. Despite this, and despite being revealed to be a Cronesword, the latest Codex confirms that the Spear/Sword is once again sapping his life energy and he is still cursed by it.

Further, despite being brought back from the dead by them, Yriel is no fan of the Ynnari, believing himself to have been brought back into a cursed state against his wishes (even though he's the same as he was before his death - maybe he's mad about absorbing the soul of his would-be boyfriend), and avoiding the Ynnari and aiding them when possible. There's gratitude for you.
