The Phoenix Court of Khaine is a military formation of Eldar which is considered so rare that their kind consider it to be a myth.[1]

At its core resides an Avatar of Kaela Mensha Khaine who is typically awakened only by the sacrifice of an Exarch who embodied the role of the Young King. However, the Phoenix Court is assembled by the arrival of the greatest and most powerful of the Phoenix Lords who arrive at the dark heart of a Craftworld in order to awaken the God of War. By surrounding the Avatar and laying their weapons to their Spirit stones, they begin the terrifying ritual where they weave the statue with the eldritch energy of one of the Exarch souls that formed their own consciousness. This act fuels the Avatar's great essence which is roused from its slumber and takes is place amongst the Phoenix Court to wage battle against their foes.[1]
