	The '''Exodites''' are the [[Eldar]] who first fled the decay and degeneration of their old Empire, effectively being the Eldar equivalent of the Amish. They maintain close bonds with the [[Craftworld]]s, upon whom they are heavily dependent for protection. They're basically Amish dinosaur-cowboy Wood Elves In Space, and very like the Na'vi from James Cameron's Avatar. They also have [[Eldar Knight]]s.

	The Exodites originated from those citizens of the Eldar Empire who saw the corruption festering in the souls of the Eldar and decided they needed to purify themselves. To do so, they left the Empire and its conveniences for worlds on the edge of the galaxy (an ''exodus'', hence "Exodites"), where they would be forced to work hard just to survive. This kept them focused and busy, and prevented them from being lost in hedonism like their relatives back home. When the Empire's increasing debauchery gave rise to [[Slaanesh]], the Exodites survived because they were far from the center of the Empire (what would later be called the [[Eye of Terror]]) and because their hard lifestyle and self-denial meant that Slaanesh had little purchase on their souls. Of course, the Eldar idea of "hard lifestyle and self-denial" means that they have to walk a few feet to pick up their own damn food instead of it appearing before them automatically, though it still grows flawlessly for them and every plant and animal on the planet caters to their every need and whim. Apparently, they are not completely free of Slaanesh's influence; when they die, their souls are stored and contained in their planet's World Spirit (analogous to the Infinity Circuit of the [[Craftworld]]s).

	As of the 41st Millennium, the Exodites still keep to themselves, though the expansion of the [[Imperium of Man]] and the encroaching [[Tyranid]] [[Hive Fleet]]s have brought them into conflict. They defend themselves with their dinosaur-riders known as [[Dragon Knights]], and [[Craftworld Biel-tan]] often dispatches forces to aid Exodites under attack. Though, in Black Library books Exodites are described as absolute badasses and comparable to the [[Catachan]], so they likely do not need any help with beating the shit out of anyone stupid enough to invade their world. In one book they almost effortlessly repelled four [[Kabal]] raids combined, and in another, <del>one entire</del> '''THREE''' pre-heresy Space Marine Legions were needed to conquer a single fucking Exodite world. That's pretty badass, especially since the Imperium at the time had equipment that, while less efficient, was comparably or more powerful than what the Exodites denied to themselves. It should be noted that the only reason for this is ''not'' due to any particular skill of the Exodites, but rather, as depicted in the book "Deathworld", an Exodite world becomes Catachan on crack towards any invaders. The Exodites need only hide and perform hit-and-run attacks on invading convoys and supply depots while letting the planet itself do the rest. Of course, there's a [[Exterminatus\|fine and dandy way]] of solving that little issue, but for various reasons (the forces involved don't have the authority, the purpose of the invasion is to conquer a habitable world for Imperial exploitation, the invaders are DEldar looking for slaves, the invaders are Orks looking for a fight, the invaders are 'nids looking for a meal, the Emperor wants that xeno-tech, among others) that isn't always an option.

			===Possible Kill Team Return===
			During Warhammer Fest 2023, [https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/05/01/where-next-for-kill-team-lets-look-at-the-path-ahead/ a teaser for the next season of Kill Team] was released. The video references an "Aeldari presence", and shows what appears to be a natural landscape, so it seems that an Exodite Kill Team isn't too unlikely.

	That all sounds awesome, doesn't it? Sadly, despite the passage of 30 years, lazy-ass Games Workshop has yet to offer up a bona fide Exodite army in 40k (the 2nd Edition Eldar Codex had some unit entries, but no models were ever cast). To make matters even worse, in many pieces of more recent literature the Exodites are usually only mentioned within the context of being GW's second favorite punching bag right after the Craftworld Eldar. So while battle reports, codices, and novels sometimes still mention Exodites, it's usually on the premise that some Exodite world got sacked and burned by a small strike force of Orks or Space Marines or Necrons or whatever. Yeah.		That all sounds awesome, doesn't it?
