Editing Six Treasures of Chaos

The Six Treasures of Chaos are six mystical items associated with the powers of [[Chaos]] in the setting of [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]. They make up the collective paraphernalia of the Everchosen of Chaos, the setting's resident Chaos-related Big Bad. Currently, all six Treasures are in the possession of [[Archaon]], the current Everchosen of Chaos in Warhammer.

#1: The Mark of Chaos United
Also known as the Mark of the Chosen One and the Eternally Burning Mark of Chaos, this beefed-up version of the Mark of [[Chaos Undivided]] gives the bearer the benefits of the Marks of [[Khorne]], [[Slaanesh]], [[Nurgle]] and [[Tzeentch]] all at the same time, plus a little more. Archaon earned this Treasure by singlehandedly entering the unlifting darkness of the Altar of True Darkness in [[Naggaroth]], slaying hundreds of albino mutant horrors and offering their hearts on the altar at its pinnacle.

#2: The Armor of Morkar
Originally born by the first Everchosen, this enchanted armor is virtually invulnerable. Archaon earned this treasure by destroying a hidden city after six days and nights of battle, then entering the tomb of Morkar hidden within. There, he did battle with the restless spirit of Morkar himself, surprising Morkar by calling out curses in the languages of Unberogen, the tribe of Morkar's birth. This startled the undead Chaos Champion so much that Archaon was able to deliver a telling blow, claiming the armor for himself.

#3: The Eye of Sheerian
Discovered by a Tzeentchian sorcerer, when worn as an amulet, this trinket grants the bearer prophetic insights, but its true power is unlocked by adding it to the Crown of Domination. Archaon claimed this treasure by slamming his axe into one of the three slumbering heads of the Chaos Dragon Flamefang who guarded it, being swallowed whole, and cutting his way out from inside the dragon's guts.

#4: The Steed of the Apocalypse
Alternatively known as Dorghar, Ghurshy'ish'phak, and Yrontalie, this mighty Daemonic Steed was kept within the menagerie of the Daemon Prince Agrammon before Archaon snuck inside under the belly of one of the mutant horrors. Though it tried to hurl Archaon from its back by bursting into flames, Archaon broke it as if it were a wild stallion and fled from Agrammon's lair atop its back.

#5: The Slayer of Kings
A sword containing a Greater Daemon known as U'zuhl, this terrible weapon belonged to Vangel, second Everchosen of Chaos. It is capable of killing almost anything, and by calling upon the wailing spirit within, the bearer becomes virtually unstoppable. Archaon found this weapon by tracking down Kranok the Black, father of the Dragon Ogres, and prying it from his grasp, slaying one of his followers to keep it from awakening the titanic beast with its shrieks.

#6: The Crown of Domination
The last and greatest of the Six Treasures, this crown heals any injury the wearer may suffer, and amplifies the power of the Eye. To claim this and seal himself as the Everchosen, Archaon sought out the First Shrine to Chaos, overcoming challenges set against him by the four Gods before finally claiming the Crown as his own. Thus [[Be'lakor]] was called to anoint Archaon, and he could begin his quest at last.

Despite the above order now being canon for how Archaon found the Six Treasures, in earlier editions, the order was different. In the build-up to [[Storm of Chaos]], the backstory for [[Vardek Crom]] claims that when Archaon found the Conqueror, he already bore the Mark, the Eye and the Sword, whilst he was looking for the others. When Archaon first appeared in ''Champions of Chaos'', he bore the Mark, the Sword, the Armor and the Eye.
