Editing Psychic Awakening (section)

=== Phoenix Rising ===
''The Aeldari are a psychically sensitive race, and the fragile balance between these disparate cultures has been disturbed by the Psychic Awakening. These factions have become embroiled in a full-scale internecine war for the future of their people.''

Phoenix Rising is the first event listed as part of the Psychic Awakening and focuses on how the Great Rift has made things harder for the Aeldari - the Asuryani, the Drukhari, the Harlequins, and the Ynnari. Among other events, we have [[Drazhar]] deciding that a Phoenix Lord's head would look good in his trophy room and settling on [[Jain Zar]] to be the lucky donor, but the main focus is on the Ynnari as [[Slaanesh]] moves to thwart their attempts to awaken the [[Ynnead|God of the Dead]]. [[Yvraine]] learns that the final Cronesword is in Slaanesh's clutches and just barely survives a confrontation with the Keeper of Secrets [[Shalaxi Helbane]], only to learn that the daemon was holding back just to fuck with her. The Eldar, especially the Ynnari, took a big hit during this campaign, with a lot of Eldar dying for seemingly no reason; it could even be argued that this has set the entire Ynnari story back to square one. The biggest achievement of this first entry into the series, was setting the tone, that each PA narrative will be insulting to the players of the concerned armies.

In terms of crunch, the book includes some campaign missions, new "Successor Chapter"-like rules that let you piecemeal together new properties for [[Your Dudes|custom Craftworlds, Kabals, Wych Cults, and Covens]], new Exarch Powers for Craftworld aspect warriors, a new psychic discipline called Runes of Fortune for craftworlders and lastly a reprinting of the Ynnari rules first published through White Dwarf.

The accompanying Box Set ''Blood of the Phoenix'' provides new Plastic [[Howling Banshees]], including both masked and unmasked variants depending on if you want them to represent the Ynnari, "for they walk a very different path to their Craftworld cousins". [[Jain Zar]] also takes the stage as the first Phoenix Lord to get a new plastic kit. New Drukhari models and rules in the form of the [[Incubi]] along with [[Drazhar]] accompany their Craftworld cousins, though they don't seem to have any new wargear or rules for the Klaivex. Also included are a [[Vyper]], some [[Hellions]] and [[Scourge|Scourges]], as well as two transports: a [[Falcon]] and a [[Venom]].
