Khorne's warhosts count many savage and mutant warriors among their numbers. The followers of Khorne are almost all uncontrollable fighters who excel at the art of killing. Great warriors are often subjects of Khorne's interest. In every direction, as far as Khorne can see, the ground is covered with shattered bones and rotted corpses.Īs the god of battle, Khorne bestows its favour on those who demonstrate martial prowess. In the Realm of Chaos Khorne sits upon a brass throne, which rests on a massive mountain of skulls, each taken in the Blood God's name by a devotee. The sheer amount of bloodshed and death in the Mortal Realms currently has made Khorne the most powerful Chaos God. It draws its power from the blood and skulls collected for the Blood God by its followers. Khorne is the Blood God, the god of war, fury, murder, wrath and violent death. It echoed from leathered skins, and grew to shake the clouds.and far above the daemons' ranks, there was an answering roar of bloody approval, torn from Khorne’s brazen throat" At some secret signal all fell silent and then came a single shriek of dark and bloody loyalty, a pact of hate and death. It was a banner of deepest, darkest red, with but a single rune and a legend of simple devotion: Blood for the Blood God. Their battle banners strained in the coppery wind that blew across the ranks. " Servants of the Lord of Slaughter stood from horizon to horizon, filling the air with their shrieks, gibbers and howls of blood. These dark siblings now number five who afflict the Mortal Realms: Khorne, the Blood God, Nurgle, the Plague Lord, Slaanesh, the Prince of Pleasure, Tzeentch, the Changer of Ways, and the recently ascended Great Horned Rat, the deity of corruption, treachery and strife who embodies the drives of the ratmen called the skaven. Their rivalry is eternal, each god seeking dominance over their fellows in the so-called " Great Game" played between them and their mortal and daemonic servants. In the ever-changing Realm of Chaos, source of all magic, the Dark Gods rule supreme. Relentless and unstoppable, all of their incomprehensible energies are directed to collapsing reason and perverting order. It is their nature, their all-consuming purpose as embodiments of the force of Chaos, to destroy and unmake, for they are the avatars of illogic and disorder. It was just such an apocalypse that consumed the World-That-Was so long ago.įrom beyond the boundaries of reality, the major Chaos Gods look upon the Mortal Realms with covetous eyes. However, if the Ruinous Powers were to win such a dark victory, it would likely destroy all of reality when the dimensional separation between the Mortal Realms and the Realm of Chaos broke down in its wake. Yet, at the same time, they possess the power to warp the minds, bodies and very souls of those mortals who take them as patrons.Īs a result of their dependence, the Chaos Gods strive to convert all mortals to their worship and service so that they may ultimately dominate the cosmos. The Chaos Gods are dependent upon the emotions of intelligent mortal creatures - especially men, aelves, duardin and the skaven - for their power and continued existence. Although they are god-like beings, the Dark Gods are by their nature monomaniacal and completely single-minded since they are formed entirely of a single emotion or concept. The most powerful and most influential of these beings have become the major Chaos Gods described below. Throughout the countless aeons thousands of Chaos Gods have arisen and fallen within the Realm of Chaos. When an emotion or belief in the Mortal Realms grows strong or widespread enough among a large number of mortals, it becomes embodied as one of the sentient denizens of the Realm of Chaos. These entities, belonging to a class of deities known as Elemental Gods, are instead created and sustained by the emotions and collective desires of every sentient being of the Cosmos Arcane.
They embody the metaphysical force of Chaos and inhabit and control the hell-dimension known as the Realm of Chaos, the true source of all magical energies. The Chaos Gods, also called the Dark Gods or the Ruinous Powers, are powerful, self-aware entities comprised entirely of raw magical and emotional energy.
