Wraithbone retcon post: full excerpt from the Codex

EDIT: I've seen a little confusion. Here's an excerpt from Valedor, highlighting both the creation and subsequent shaping of wraithbone. How it "should" be. lyanna watched the boneseers at work. They wore their strange armour, rarely brought out for a bonesinger did not lightly go to war. All were helmed and masked, with tall antlers either side of their helmets and a stubby projection on the chin in the manner of an alien's bound beard. They danced while they sang, in a slow, languorous manner, bringing their hands around in wide passes, their arms at full length. Several of them played instruments – pipes, cymbals, tiny gongs, flutes and harps. It was an otherworldly melody, not meant for entertainment, but possessing a profound loveliness despite its discordance. The melody of instrument and voice intersected in the centre of the ship's hold where light glowed brightly, wisps of it revolving around a bright core to make a galaxy-like tissue. The song changed, the light coalesced, forming matter. Wraithbone. Iyanna was spellbound by the creation of matter from nothing. The light at the centre of the chamber was dimming as more wraithbone solidified from intangible plasms. The product of the song was luminous, but no more than that. It had crossed the threshold from the might-be to the is. Having judged there to be sufficient raw material for their purposes, the bonesingers changed their tune, picking up speed. Under their influence, the wraithbone moved, melting and reforming into recognisable shapes – an arm, a foot, a high-crested helm. For nigh on a full tenth-cycle they worked, until as if by some sleight of hand the wraith-stuff was gone and a tall, sculpted figure was at the centre of their circle: a freshly made wraithguard, its long helmet open and revealing the setting for a spirit stone. The song abruptly ceased, and the bonesingers stepped back. Eldar on the weaponsmith and pseudo-life branches of Vaul's Path moved in, fitting the construct with the parts that were not of wraithbone. They too worked quickly, a team of them chanting in the smith cant. They moved easily, always on the verge of colliding with each other, always avoiding their comrades' limbs.

r/40kLore ⚫5 days ago dduckddoctor lyanden [10th Edition Eldar Codex] The Wraithbone Change a.k.a. Gutting a Faction's Lore Sorry for the dramatic title. Here's the excerpt: The wraithbone substance from which each craftworld is wrought is a composite material formed from various compounds, ores and minerals; it is as much grown as it is forged. What the hell? I don't really have much further commentary on this. Maybe we're moving into the era of lore FAQs as well as rules. With any luck, it will be quietly retconned back in the next Eldar novel. If they get another.
