''Path of the Warrior'' is the first book in the ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Literature/PathOfTheEldar'' trilogy by Gav Thorpe.

The ancient Eldar are a mysterious race, each devoting their life to a chosen path which will guide their actions and decide their fate. Korlandril abandons peace for the Path of the Warrior. He becomes a Striking Scorpion, a deadly fighter skilled in the art of close-quarter combat. But the further Korlandril travels down this path, the closer he gets to losing his identity and becoming an avatar of war.

!!Tropes included:
* AppliedPhlebotinum: Wraithbone is a psychically-reactive material that serves as a key ingredient for Eldar Empathic hardware and software.
* EmotionsVersusStoicism: A key component of Eldar society is ALTERNATING between the two. Seeking emotional fullfillment in a careful structured, measured way. All to avoid a FateWorseThanDeath at the tendrils of She Who Thirsts.
%%* EmpathicWeapon: Every piece of Aspect Warrior equipment works this way. More specifically, Chainswords and Shuriken Pistols.%%How?
* EmotionSuppression: How Eldar deal with the 'darker' emotions. Developing an entire SplitPersonality housed in a 'war-mask'. Through this, they vent their wrath against the Eldar's enemies, leaving the rest trapped within the war-mask when there is no fighting to be had. Bonus points for the implication that which sort of Aspect Warrior a given eldar becomes is heavily dependent on which dark emotions they're feeling at the time.
%%* EmpathicEnvironment: Pretty much all of Alaitoc. But bonus points for special areas that are designed with this component to a specific end.%%How are they examples?
%%* EmpathicHealer: How those who walk the Path of the Healer do their stuff.
%%* EnergyBeing: The way [[spoiler:Phoenix Lord Karandras insides are describes makes it pretty clear he is one]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: A great deal of early conversations take on a new light once [[spoiler:Korlandril becomes an Exarch, and, later, the Phoenix Lord Karandras]].
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Thirianna and Aradryan each have a book dedicated to their perspective of events within the Trilogy. [[spoiler: In Path of the Warrior specifically though, both Arhulesh and Becareth have enough backstory given to also qualify.]]
* HotBlooded: Some Exarchs come across as such. The Fire Dragons are specifically noted for their energetic nature and temperament.
* LoveHurts: Korlandril certainly is fond of Thirianna. This is what ultimately leads him to the Warrior Path.
* MindOverMatter: Mind bullets via Shuriken Weaponry. And pretty much all other projectile weaponry the Eldar use for that matter.
* OhCrap: The reaction from the main character when. [[spoiler: Imperial Space Marines touch down in the Alaitoc warzone.]]
* ThePowerOfLove: Subverted, although [[spoiler:thoughts of Thirianna seem to help him at key points on the Path of the Warrior]]. ultimately Korlandril becomes lost on the Path. Even past that point, his last thoughts towards her are angry and hateful.]]
%%* TrainingFromHell: Pretty lightweight example for ''Warhammer 40,000'''. But from Korlandril's perspective, it certainly is.%%How is it an example?
