regardless of whether it was committed by his followers, his enemies or those ignorant of his existence. There is an age old saying of the followers of Khorne which illustrates this best: "Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows". He is the most powerful of the gods, and those who follow him are possessors of great strength, courage, and bloodlust, who are bestowed with great power. Khorne is the embodiment of mortals' courage, glory, and strength.
Daemons
Tzeentch The Changer of Ways
Tzeentch, the Changer of Ways, is the Chaos god of sorcery, change, and manipulation. Tzeentch is closely

associated with sorcery and magic, as well as dynamic mutation, and grand, convoluted scheming. The domains of history, destiny, intrigue and plots are his chief interests, and in pursuit of these aspects he listens to the dreams and hopes of all and watches their plans take form. He is not content to merely observe, however, and chooses to interfere in the skeins of fate in order to fulfill his own, unknowably complex schemes. Tzeentch is known by an endless multitude of names, but the chief titles he bears are the Changer of the Ways, the Master of Fortune, the Great Conspirator and the Architect of Fate. Tzeentch embodies mortals' ambition, knowledge, and hope.
Daemons
Slaanesh The Prince of Excess
Slaanesh, the Dark Prince, is the Chaos God of Pleasure, Passion, and Decadence. Lust, pride and

self-indulgence are the hallmarks of all who follow him. Slaanesh can assume any form; male, female, hermaphrodite or asexual; when looked upon by a mortal Slaanesh takes the form of the sex of their desire. Slaanesh is the core rival of Khorne, whom he considers his opposite. Slaanesh is the embodiment of mortals' desire, greed, lust, and indulgence.
Daemons
Nurgle Lord of Decay
Nurgle, the Plague Lord, is the Chaos god of disease, destruction, decay, and Death. His titles include the Fly

Lord, Great Corruptor, Master of Pestilence, Lord of Decay (the translation of his Dark Tongue name, Nurgh-leth) and represents morbidity, disease and physical corruption. He is described as a huge, fat, pox-infected creature with antlers, and a grotesque body. He is considered the most "friendly" of the chaos gods, for he is the only god to care about those who follow and worship him. His personality is considered joyful, kind, and happy in demeanor. His main enemy is Tzeentch, the Lord of Change, because their power comes from opposing sources. Tzeentch is hope and ambition, while Nurgle is defiance born of despair and hopelessness. Nurgle embodies mortals' desire to elude death, and to live.
