The Exarchs are the high priests of the Bloody-handed God and keepers of the shrines of the Aspect Warriors. 
They are warriors who have become trapped in their Warrior Aspects, unable to put aside their adopted
mental perspective, so that their entire beings are now devoted to war and death forever. This is a danger every
aspect warrior faces:  his mind may become trapped upon the Warrior Path and he may be unable to recover
his full personality. To an Eldar, the dangers of mental entrapment are real and horrifying and the Exarchs are
the living embodiments of the dangers the Eldar face when they go to war. An Exarch wears an elaborate
and often ancient version of Aspect Warrior armor. From his shrine he takes the spirit stone that contains
the departed spirits of all the past Exarchs.  He assumes the sacred name associated with the stone
and his spirit mingles with those of all the Eldar who have borne the stone since the shrine's inception. 
His personality is lost into the great heroic being that bears the Exarch's name.  Memories and experiences
of the past merge with his own, his own life become just another stage in the life of the spirit stone and the
heroic warrior is reborn in new flesh.

  An Exarch may be given up to two special Exarch powers as described in the Eldar Codex.  The points
cost for these is summarised on the Wargear list.
