[edit] Origins
The Chaos Gods were originally developed in the world from the emotions of intelligent creatures. Khorne, Slaanesh, Tzeentch, and Nurgle were developed and evolved from anger, joy, hope, and despair respectively.
[edit] Gods
[edit] Khorne
Khorne is known as the Chaos god of war and battle, depicted as a demon of terrifying power, sitting on a brass throne atop a mountain of skulls, thus: "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!" The Bloodthirster represents his master in the material realm. Although he doesn't trust magic (and therefore Tzeentch), Khorne has a particular hatred for Slaanesh (whose teachings undermine Khorne's attitude of eternal bloodlust).
[edit] Slaanesh
Slaanesh is the god of cruel passions and pain. Slaanesh is the enemy of all Eldar, because he was created at the fall of the old Eldar Empire. Slaanesh has a beauty that no living mortal can resist. Slaanesh detests and doesn't understand Khorne (Slaanesh finds pleasure in all things, while Khorne only wants battle).
[edit] Tzeentch
Tzeentch is the Chaos god of time and control, and change and sorcery, virtually every event in the galaxy was concoted by Tzeentch himself, He is also the one who brokers most alliances between the four powers. He despised and is likewise despised by Nurgle (who represents uncontrolled change).
[edit] Nurgle
Nurgle is the Chaos god of rot and decay, Nurgle and Tzeentch are mortal enemies, while Tzeentch represents progress, Nurgle represents decay and rot. Nurgle is at odds with Tzeentch (who signified controlled and planned change).
[edit] CWH the Chaos Demon
this is the most dangerous chaos demon there is. Never approach it unless armed and armoured; the mere sight of it is enough to drive you mad and gouge your own eyes out. It destroys all who fall in its shadow and all who touch it.
