Craftworld Iyanden is one of the major Eldar Craftworlds. It suffered heavily from an attack by Hive Fleet Kraken, losing four out of every five Eldar before Autarch turned Corsair Yriel managed to drive out the Hive Fleet. As a result, Craftworld Iyanden is forced to rely heavily on Wraith constructs to keep them afloat in combat, and half of the ones alive are probably Bonesingers. They suffered further when WAAAGH Rekkfist invaded the Craftworld and were nearly overrun when the Dark Eldar of the Kabal of the Wraithkind appeared from the Webway to save them. After the battle, the Seer Council inquired why the Dark Eldar had saved them, and they replied that they thought Iyanden's angst over using Wraithlords was so hilarious that they couldn't let them die. So grimdark.
Guess what they're getting their own mini Codex and Matt Ward is writing it. And added the fact that Craftworld Biel-tan (who normally helps out other Eldar) has abandon them because they don't see the point of helping worthless refugees (and probably waiting for everyone on Iyanden to die out so they can steal their stuff.) And... Iyanden is slowing rebuilding itself...
