A Void Dreamer affiliated with the Sunblitz Brotherhood; note the surprising lack of Rune Armour.[3]

Away from the protective structures of the Craftworlds, many Eldar develop wild and unpredictable psychic abilities. These creatures are both a bane and a boon for the Corsair fleets, as for each emergent psyker who learns to control and focus their talent, there are many more who cannot. Few amongst those so gifted can achieve the clarity of mind and purpose needed to guide the Corsair fleets through the endless wastes of the Warp or the twisted passageways of the Webway, and such prodigies are highly valued by the Corsair Princes. Such is the fractious nature of Corsair society though that many bloody, internecine wars have been fought between fleets over the services of a particularly gifted void dreamer.[4a]

Void Dreamers are members of an Eldar Corsairs band who typically serve as helmsmen and Navigators of Corsair ships.[1][2] These Eldar are actually Psykers who are closely related to the Warlocks and follow the Farseers by taking the Witch Path. They particularly focus on the arts of divination and prophecy though do not use this to discern the distant far future but rather events that would effect them in the near-future.[1] This enables them to navigate the Daemon-seas of the Warp whilst shielding it from its myriad dangers. Thus, the Void Dreamers use their divination and prophetic powers to guide vessels whilst protecting their crews from the Daemons of the Warp.[1][2]

Within a Warp-tainted Space Hulk a Void Dreamer's insight and protection is invaluable to squads of Corsairs.[2]
