Chaos Incarnate: The Dark Lords of the Mortal Realms
In a realm of eternal conflict, a pantheon of dark lords reign supreme. These masters of chaos wield unfathomable power, bending the very fabric of reality to their will. Among them are legendary figures, forged in the crucible of war and tempered by the fires of ambition.
The Beastlord of Caddow
A towering figure, driven by an insatiable hunger for power, leads his people near the city of Caddow in the Realm of Shyish. This albino, lion-headed Beastlord has vanquished countless foes, including the mighty Krovar the Doombull and Bezarkrak the Shaggoth, forcing them to swear fealty to him.
Khorne’s Greatest Champions
Two legendary warriors stand among the greatest champions of Khorne. One, a former leader of the Prophets of Blood, was struck down by his own Exalted Deathbringer, Dravek Daemonfist. The other, a brutal winged queen, inspires unwavering devotion in her followers, for she is the chosen instrument of Khorne’s wrath.
The Hounds of Chaos
A daemonic hound, gifted to Magore Redhand, remains stuck in Shadespire alongside his warband, the Magore’s Fiends. Another hound, the greatest of the Flesh Hounds, serves as the physical manifestation of Khorne’s vengeance, prowling the throne room of the Brass Citadel.
Nurgle’s Chosen
The Hand of Nurgle, Lord High Admiral of the Plague-Fleets, commands a vast armada of disease-ridden vessels. His unending task is to record the progress of every one of Nurgle’s diseases, as Custodian of the Garden. A patron of the Order of the Fly, he seeks to destroy the last remnants of Nagash in the Realm of Shyish.
Slaanesh’s Favorites
The Masque of Slaanesh, a Daemonette, was once Slaanesh’s favored dancer and chief handmaiden. Cast out by her master, she now dances through the mortal and immortal worlds, forever bound to the service of Syll’Esske, the Vengeful Allegiance. A champion of Slaanesh, who discovered the hidden kingdom of Nulahmia, seeks the Dark Prince using the Inhilus, a gibbering mutant impaled on his chariot.
Skaven Envoys
An envoy of Clan Slynk, summoned by Grey Seer Retchnik, entered Shyish to steal the realmstone at Nagashizzar. A freakishly tall skaven, with black eyes marbled with veins of gold and electric blue, escorted Envoy Kriktail to see Retchnik.
Lorgore the Cruel
Among the Swords of Chaos stands Lorgore the Cruel, favored of the Everchosen and Anointed Knight of the Dark Gods. His path to Archaon’s side was littered with the mangled bodies and blood of the betrayed.
These dark lords, each with their own twisted agenda, weave a complex tapestry of chaos and destruction throughout the Mortal Realms. Theirs is a world of eternal conflict, where only the strongest survive, and the weak are cast aside like so much rubbish.
