Yll Exuun (Elw for "star of spirits"; in older Elw orthography, Yll Exûun with a circumflex; in Cyrillic Elw, Ылл Ышуун, in modern Latin orthography Yll Yshuun) is a distant star, around which twelve planets orbit (numbered/named in Athlonian as α Yll Exuun, β Yll Exuun, γ Yll Exuun, δ Yll Exuun, ε Yll Exuun, ζ Yll Exuun, η Yll Exuun, θ Yll Exuun, ι Yll Exuun, κ Yll Exuun, λ Yll Exuun, μ Yll Exuun), of which only the sixth planet, ζ Yll Exuun, is known to have some kind of atmosphere. It was the destination of a 1591 Elwynnese expedition. It is hypothesised that the Theogiorickans come from ζ Yll Exuun.

The star is important in Elw mythology, believed to be where souls are formed as spirits before being "transplanted" in humans upon developing object permanence.
