Exarches are the leaders of the Eldar Ascept shrines on the craftworlds and lead the warriors of Khaine both in the worship of their god and on the battle field as warriors without peer.
All craftworld Eldar practice the paths, forms of mental concentration to focus their immense emotions into a task so they are not overwhelmed by sensation like their ancestors were and fall prey to Slaanesh, the god born from the ancient Elders' excesses and rampant kinkiness. There is a danger though; an Eldar may become obsessed with achieving perfection along a path and become fixated on it, unable to ever follow another path again. They become referred to being lost on the path and are treated with a strange sense of loss from other Eldar for this, although many masters of the different paths are also widely respected.
Eldar who find they like killing too much and who become stuck on one of the warrior paths are referred to as Exarches, Eldar who become the greatest experts of that particular kind of warfare on their craftworld. They are given powerful weapons and armour usually kept within the temples and master skills through long experience, which they pass onto other Eldar who take up position for a time in the temple. Exarches act as priests of Khaine as much as warriors, for they are the chosen holy warriors of the bloody handed god.
