Exodite World
From Lexicanum
Exodite Worlds are those which were settled by Eldar fleeing the increasing depravity of the majority of the Eldar race just prior to the Fall of the Eldar, commonly known as Exodites. They are wild planets, often untamed and dangerous.1a Craftworld Biel-Tan are known to be defenders of Exodite worlds, as they see the Exodites as the first stage in regaining the Eldar empire. Exodite worlds would be their staging grounds, and they guard each world jealously, slaughtering any who seek to take the worlds for themselves.1b

Flora and Fauna
Often Exodite worlds are home to vast herds of megadons, or dragons to the Eldar. It is likely that early settlers spread these animals, much like humanity spread the Grox throughout their realm.1a
Lifestyle
Exodites live nomadic lives, following the megadon herds across huge grassy plains. They have eschewed the use of much of their former technology, but still remain able to use anything which could be used on a Craftworld. They simply choose to live as they do, rather than having 'degenerated', as many Imperial citizens believe.1a
Known Exodite Worlds
- Haranshemash - Formally known as Haran, Eldrad foretold of a warp rift rupturing space allowing the forces of Chaos to pour forth. When it opened the Eldar were prepared. Chaos Space Marines joined the Daemons that emerged, and battles raged across the planet for many long months, with many Outcasts and even Phoenix Lords, including the reappearance of presumed lost Fuegan 1d, joining the Eldar cause. Ultimately the Eldar triumphed though at a terrible cost. The planet was denied to Chaos, but thereafter was known as Haranshemash, the 'world of blood and tears'. 1c
- Menimshemash - Invaded by waves of Daemons after Tzeentch infiltrated the planet's world spirit. 2
- Ishareq - In 801.M41 despite the elite dragon riders of the Viridian Knights repelling invading Dark Eldar, they were unfortunately too late to stop Haemonculi poisoning the planet's world spirit, leading eventually to every Eldar upon the planet simply laying down and dieing.3
