The '''Lords of Change''' are the Greater [[Daemon]]s of [[Tzeentch]]. Massive bird/human hybrids, Lords of Change are unparalleled sorcerers and plotters, capable of outwitting ([[Creed|almost]]) any mortal. [[Just as Planned]].

*'''Kairos''': The Oracle of Tzeentch. Also known as "Fateweaver", Kairos was the Vizier of Tzeentch, until Tzeentch, desiring to know the future from Well of Eternity but unwilling to enter it himself, cast Kairos there in his place... <s>where he got half beaten to death and was horribly disfigured by Sly Marbo.</s>{{BLAM|INVERSE-HERESY!}}{{BLAM}} Kairos survived, but emerged incredibly aged ''(which for a creature of the warp immune to the passage of time is saying something)'' completely insane (for a daemon) and with a second head. He knows everything from the past and the future (except the origin of Dr. Insano) and when asked a question, one head will tell the truth, and the other will tell an equally believable lie. It's possible that the Imperial Aquila is a representation of Kairos.

**To get a straight answer from Kairos is <s>easy,impossible</s> tricky but possibly doable. Karios head's work much like the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_and_Knaves Knights and Knaves] logic puzzle made famous in the Labyrinth. Typical versions of the puzzle have you try to figure out if your talking to a "knight" (truth), or "Knave" (liar), often with a single question. However such puzzle have well thought out solutions and are not considered even 'puzzles' to the lords of changes. The issue with Kairos is that which head lies and which one tells the truth likely vary from moment to the next so that even if you did ask the golden question and managed to figure out which head was the Knight and which was the Knave, it would not even apply from one question to the next. This actual makes the puzzle closer to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hardest_Logic_Puzzle_Ever The Hardest Logic Puzzle Ever] where there are three gods, one truth, one lies, and one random who you don't know which words they say are yes and which are no.

The more open ended the question the harder it is to figure out which head is truth and which is lies. If your just looking for confirmation of a item's location you could ask something along the lines of "would your other head say the magguffin was on earth?" (If the magguffin was on earth) the 'lie' head would say no as the 'true' head knows the maggufin's on earth. The 'true' head would say no as the lie head would deceive you and lie about the position. So when both heads say no, the magguffin is there. But if you have the Maggufins location down to just a handful location out of the billions of planets in the galaxy there's no reason to resort to Fateweaver to figure it out since you could just spend a few more dollars and scout the locations out your self rather then the much larger risk of consorting with the most conniving type of daemons. The case where things that you must resort to Fatewaver for a solution are so rare, and would require questions of such sufficient complexity makes wording the question to both answer what you want to know and to figure out the truth head from the lieing head incredibly tricky.

Change we can all believe in.

The Lords of Change are the Greater Daemons of Tzeentch. Massive bird/human hybrids, Lords of Change are unparalleled sorcerers and plotters, capable of outwitting (almost) any mortal. Just as Planned.

The only way for something to go Not as planned for a Lord of Change is if Tzeentch himself wills it to by concealing information from his minions (or if Creed is involved). Genuinely though, Cypher, Oxyotl, Shas'O Kais, Nagash and Doomguy know how to Not as Planned a Lord of Change, though whether this is due to their awesomeness or the machinations of Chaos has not entirely been confirmed yet.

On the flip side, while they can apparently tell the future better than most Farseers and can supposedly fling spells better than alpha-plus level psykers or level 6 Wizards, they are not invincible, and they cannot sense all things at the same time and can be vulnerable in the middle of a battlefield due to processing too much information, so they prefer to manage things from afar and use mortals as their pawns.

Also, they look a lot like the Skeksis from "The Dark Crystal", which is probably not a coincidence considering that that movie came out in 1982, while Warhammer first appeared a year later. Goddammit, GW. Lords of Change also have a suspiciously large number of thing in common with angels. They are flying superhumans with feathery wings and great strength. Bringers of hope, they wield tremendous mystical power in faithful service to God. In fact, Aetaos'Rau'Keres sometimes even gives boons to lucky people nearby!

Usually carry around a massive and choking huge staff called the Staff of Tzeentch, but if they are forced to get into melee, they will pull out a Baleful Sword out of their proverbial ass.
