Wraithbone Shear
Wraithbone Shears are ancient Eldar relics, that allow their wielders to travel through the Warp to reach a distant location.[1]
They are not precise tools, however, and multiple uses are required to reach the wielder's destination. Even then, the Shears will likely not send them into the precise location that was desired and may even accidentally send their wielders into the past or future of their target location. If that occurs, the wielders will have to retrace their jumps with the Shears and try again to arrive at the right time frame.[1]
Shortly before the Battle for Terra began, the Farseer Eldrad gave a pair of Wraithbone Shears to his ally, the former Cabal agent John Grammaticus. This was done, in the hopes that John could reach Terra in time, to enact a plan that would save Mankind from Chaos, rather than have them be destroyed by it, as the Cabal had planned. If John was successful, then Eldrad hoped that the Imperium would learn to resist the temptations of Chaos and would eventually aid the Eldar against the forces of the Chaos Gods.[1]
