The The Stones of Eternal Life are the mystical veil and barrier which preserves and reincarnates Eldar souls, preventing them from falling into KOL's embrace-or grasp, depending on your perspective. These were constructed by the Old Eldar Empire as one of their greatest works, and were spread throughout the planet.

The Burning Days
Disaster / DestructionSome Eldar mythos hold that, at the height of their power, the Eldar forgot their ancient ways and their ancient gods, and instead their hearts turned to decadence. Other, more mainstream Eldar priests place the blame squarely at the feet of their ancient foe, Gathamuriel. Regardless, both hold that at dawn, on the first day of the five-hundred-thousandth year of the empire, great gouts of flame poured down from heaven and burned away the works of Eldar hands.
