Chaos Battletome - Blades of Khorne 2.pdf

Across the Mortal Realms neither city nor
civilisation stood. Justice had been crushed,
ground to dust like the bones that crunched
beneath the march of mailed feet. Hope was
gone, replaced with rattling chains and cruel
enslavement. Mountains of skulls were stacked
as tribute, and blood flowed in rivers. So total
was the victory that the lands themselves were
warping, changing as reality itself teetered on
the brink. Crimson skies lowered, pouring forth
unnatural tempests across the broken earth.
The victory of Chaos was all but complete, yet
Khorne knew that to rule was for the strongest
alone. So did the daemonic Blood Legions and
mortal Bloodbound Warhordes pause in hunting
down the cowardly remnants of foes who hid
in illusory glades or skulked below mountains.
Instead, they turned upon the followers of the
other Dark Gods. Triumph followed triumph,
until there was not an army left that was willing
to openly challenge Khorne’s supremacy. And
then lightning split the skies.
The Stormcast Eternals proved a worthy foe, and
they soon rekindled a spark of hope so that old
allies rejoined the fray. With the Chaos Gods
fractionalised,
the wars that followed undid
much of Khorne’s domination. Yet iron sharpens
iron, and the Lord of Battle’s rage burns
brighter than ever. There shall be retribution.
And the blood will flow…

THE BLOOD GOD
AND HIS ARMIES
Mighty embodiments of the darkest of mortal emotions and compulsions, the Chaos Gods reside outside of
reality. Theyare eternal beings of near limitless power, abominations who seek to corrupt all they survey.
Constantly warring with each other, these deities vie for mastery over the Mortal Realms. In these conflicts there
is one who most often stands ascendant.
Khorne is the Lord of Rage, the
Taker of Skulls. He is wrath
incarnate, master of slaughter, and
the embodiment of a never-ending
compulsion to destroy. By his will
thousands of civilisations have
been butchered. Khorne’s legions of
daemons and his mortal followers
carve gruesome paths across the
realms. For the glory of their god,
they spill the blood of all who stand
before them and reap mountains
of skulls for the Skull Throne. And
still, it is never enough to sate the
immortal entity to which they
dedicate their lives.
Khorne is depicted in many different
ways by his worshippers, though
most claim their deity is a towering
warrior so vast that he blots out
the stars, with the snarling visage
of a monstrous war-hound. His
massive form is heavy with corded
muscle clad in interlocking plates
of baroque brass armour, and
his eyes are fiery orbs filled with
boundless hatred. Upon Khorne’s
fingers are many brass rings; most
are emblazoned with his own jagged
skull rune, whereas upon others are
mounted the severed heads of lesser
gods claimed, it is said, in personal
combat. When the Blood God
speaks, he does so in bellows of black
rage, each guttural syllablecapable
of igniting the air.
The Blood God sits upon a
monumental throne of skulls, from
which he roars a never-ending call
to war that rings throughout the
realms. At his side rests a colossal
sword, known variously as the Ender
of Worlds, the Allslaughter, and
other equally doom-laden names. A
single swipe of this gigantic weapon
can split reality asunder, erasing
whole cities from existence or
exterminating entire armies. So does
the Blood God show his displeasure.
Consciously or not, all warrior
cultures pay Khorne homage, and
every single life taken in anger
increases the Blood God’s power.
That which Khorne demands from
his followers – daemons and mortals
alike – is simple: blood, more blood,
and skulls. His only temple is the
battlefield, for the Blood God is
worshipped not through prayer, but
through conflict. While war rages,
Khorne’s power waxes strong, so
those devoted to him seek violence
at every opportunity. When no other
targets are available, the followers
of Khorne will fall upon themselves.
This is no affront to the Blood God;
he looks well upon those warriors
who slay their allies, for in doing
so they prove their understanding
of the greater truths – that real
power cannot be shared, and most
importantly, that Khorne cares not
from whence the blood flows,only
that it flows.A devotee who does
not continually seek more violence
quickly falls out of their patron
deity’s favour.
LORD OF BATTLE
In the direst of need, Khorne
rises from his throne, and
echoes of his armoured footfalls
shake the realms. With an
honour guard of Bloodthirsters,
each with the power of an
army in its own right, the Lord
of Battle unleashes his full
rage, scattering the daemon
armies of his rivals with each
sweep of his mighty blade.
Such willingness to physically
participate in the Great Game
is what marks Khorne out from
his fellows.Even so, his personal
interventions are rare, and each
calamitous occasion marks a
turning of the tide in the eternal
war between the Dark Gods.
Khorne’s kingdom is in the Realm
of Chaos, where he battles his
brothers, the other Chaos Gods,
for supremacy. Although the dark
powers of these hellish deities have
ever ebbed and flowed, the Lord
of Battle’seventual domination is
certain. Khorne is paid tribute with
every drop of blood that is spilt in
battle, and whenever great wars
are waged, his immortal being is
greatly strengthened. The unending
conflicts that consume the Mortal
Realms only serve to empower the
Blood God. Whether the fallen
served a just or unjust cause, Khorne
cares not – all that matters is that the
blood continues to flow.
