In Warhammer 40,000, to the Eldar race there is nothing more important than the preservation of their race’s souls. When an Eldar dies, their soul gets shunted to the Warp. Here the great pervert, she-who-shall-not-be-named, the Chaos God Slaanesh awaits to devour their souls. To avoid this fate, the Eldar wear spirit stones which captures their departing souls on death and traps them within the stone. These stones are then placed into the grove of crystal seers on their craftworld where they become part of the Infinity circuit, an ever growing artificial afterlife for the Eldar.
In recent times though with the lessening number of Eldar in the galaxy they have been forced to often turn to their ancestors for assistance. The Eldar have the ability to place the spiritstones into machine warrior bodies known as the Wraithguard and the larger Wraithlord. To the Eldar though this is a distasteful practice, little better then grave robbing and if they could, they would let their ancestors rest in peace. However, this is a grimdark galaxy, where peace is verboten, and thus they get to use ghosts in machines.

So a Spiritseer is an Eldar version of a necromancer except not mad, has good personal hygiene and doesn't use decaying corpses for minions, just the souls and puts them in perfectly working bodies. Hey, that doesn't actually sound bad at all actually. At least it's slightly more pleasant than how Wraithknights are made...
However, just like everything else in 40k, there is a downside. You see, it's implied that in order to commune with the dead, a spiritseer has to psychically go into the infinity circuit. Each time they do, it gets harder to return to their body in the realm of the living. Whether this is because they get obsessed with staying there or it's just difficult to return is unclear. In any case, a spiritseer's soul will eventually fade into the infinity circuit, but never return, leaving their body a soulless husk.
Iyanden has a high proportion of Spiritseers due to the fiasco of Hive Fleet Kraken's arrival and it looks like they will only grow more common as the Eldar’s situation grows darker…
