Khorne ultimately cares not from where the blood flows and the skulls are taken, only that such acts are done in his name. It is not uncommon to see Khornate Chaos Warriors and Champions of Khorne fighting amongst themselves, duelling to the death to prove their skill in combat and rise higher in the eyes of their lord. According to the warrior-code of his devotees, it is the solemn right of every warrior to die an honourable death in battle, with sword and axe in hand. Khorne is said to exalt the brave of both sides of a battle, while at the same time laying his terrible vengeance upon the cowardly and craven. Yet Khorne is also the divine patron of proud warriors who set themselves against the odds and emerge triumphant through the display of savagery, murderous wrath and unending bloodlust. Khorne, like all the Chaos Gods, has two sides, for he is the embodiment of martial honour and courage, said to smile upon all feats of valour, strength, and blood-drenched warrior skill. Ī man that has put his faith in Khorne, however, is just as likely to be a blood-crazed killer as he is an honourable warrior, and oftentimes he will be both at the same time. The Blood God is worshipped by almost every tribe of Men in the Northern Wastes, for the Northmen are warrior-peoples who exalt in the contest of arms, particularly those of Norsca, who most eagerly of all embrace Khorne's call to eternal warfare. He is called " Kharneth," " Akhar," " Kjorn," " Khorgar," the " Axefather," the " Bloodfather," the " Wolf-Father," the " Bloodwolf," and yet other uncounted multitudes of titles and aspects. Khorne is known by a thousand, thousand names in the northern lands of the Chaos Wastes. His warriors, though gore-maddened berserkers all, take no artful approach to killing, for such indulgent displays serve only to empower Slaanesh, the honourless adversary of Khorne amongst the company of the Chaos Gods. However, though Khorne is the god of bloody slaughter, he is also the god of martial pride and honour, of those who set themselves against the most dangerous foes and earn victory against the odds. Of all the Ruinous Powers, Khorne is the biggest instigator of war and destruction, constantly whipping up his followers to lay siege on the cities, towns, and hamlets of the Old World. During times of utter destruction and murder, Khorne's bellows resound in the Chaos Wastes, causing madness in any that might hear. He watches scenes of barbarism and slaughter with delight, and it is said he sounds his horn across the Chaos Wastes to incite further frenzy. Khorne'sĪnger and violence is an unbridled force that targets both friends and foes alike. His lust for blood is unquenchable, and he is forever goading his followers to take up arms and murder in his name. He represents unrestrained aggression, mindless frenzy, and bloodshed on the battlefield. Khorne is the most violent and destructive of the four major Chaos Gods. Every act of killing or murder in the mortal world feeds and empowers Khorne the more senseless, vicious and bloodthirsty, the better. His domain encompasses the most basic and brutal of sentient emotions - hate, anger, rage, the desire for destruction and the joy of killing one's enemies. Khorne is the second eldest of the major Ruinous Powers and his waxing strength in this time of constant conflict often renders him the mightiest of the Chaos Gods in his effect on the mortal world and in the Great Game between the gods. Khorne, also known as the " Blood God," the " Lord of Murder", the " Lord of Skulls," " Hunter of Souls," and " the Hound" in Norsca, is the major Chaos God of war, hatred, wrath, rage, murder, blood, strength, courage and martial honour.
