==Overview==

Chamon is the homeland of alchemy, and as such little if anything about it is permanent. It is constantly shifting, as different regions and subrealms move around, interact with each other or even appear and disappear. Unlike the other mortal realms, instead of being a flat plane Chamon consists of many continents suspended in its firmament, linked together by portals.

Naturally, Tzeentch would very much like to get his grubby little claws on it, and his forces control much of it. They once even managed to hide Sigmar's hammer there, but while the Stormcasts got it back Chamon is still a mostly Tzeentch-dominated realm. The [[Kharadron Overlords]] live here in skyports. Also, the [[Flesh-Eater_Courts#The_Grand_Courts|''Hollowmourne'']].

==History==

The earliest known thing to happen in Chamon was [[Sigmar]] finding the Duardin gods [[Grimnir]] and [[Grungni]] imprisoned and releasing them. While Grungni went to [[Aqshy]] to fight Vulcatrix, Grungni stayed in Chamon, where he crafted various wonders for the humans and Duardin who lived there. It is said that as he labored, his breath turned into the clouds of Aether-Gold that float through the realm. Eventually he would leave Chamon to go to Azyr and fufill the debt he felt he owed to Sigmar, as he believed that if his worshippers grew too reliant on him they would become weak.

Many great nations grew in Chamon; the [[Dwarfs (Warhammer Fantasy)|Khazalid Empire]], the city of Elixia and Metallurgica to name a few. Much of it was powered by the miraculous substance commonly called Chamonite, the Realmstone of Chamon, which became so valuable a single droplet was worth an entire chest of gold coins. The rulers and merchant-princes of Chamon became extremely rich, much to the envy of the lower class. Unfortunately, their prayers for change gained the attention of [[Tzeentch]].

When the Godbeast known as the Lode-Griffon crashed into the Godwrought Isles, the magnetic field it generates causes widespread havoc, to the point that the perfectly geometric isles were distorted into the Spiral Crux. Eventually, a cabal of nine sorcerers came up with a scheme to slay the Lode-Griffon by casting a spell that would transmute it into gold. However, one of the sorcerers was secretly one of Tzeentch's Gaunt Summoners, who corrupted the ritual to tear a massive portal to the Realm of Tzeentch above the Griffon's Eyrie. Thus began the Age of Chaos in Chamon.

The Age of Chaos saw the Khazalid Empire devastated by hordes of Skaven and Disciples of Tzeentch, their prayers to Grungni unanswered. Seeing no safe refuge on the earth, many of them started creating floating cities to escape the carnage. Grungni had not answered his children's prayers because he believed it would make them stronger; arguably he was successful in this regard, because those Duardin he abandoned would become the Kharadron Overlords, the most advanced civillization in the Mortal Realms. Still, permanent damage was done to both parties; the Kharadron forsook the gods who abandoned them, while Grungni was consumed by guilt for not helping his children, eventually causing him to enter voluntary exile.

Chamon was one of the first realms along with [[Aqshy]] and [[Ghyran]] to witness the arrival of the Stormcast Eternals during the Realmgate Wars. Their most notable battle was the quest to reclaim Sigmar's lost hammer Ghal-Maraz, which had been taken by a Tzeentchian sorcerer who had a scheme to use it to power his ritual to corrupt every Realmgate in Chamon so it would lead to Tzeentch's labyrinth, [[End Times|sucking the entire realm into the Realm of Chaos]]. During the battle for the All-Gates, the forces of Chaos managed to hold onto the Chamon gate primarily because it was the one that [[Archaon]] defended in person.

A more recent major event that happened in Chamon is the rise of the Gloomspite warlord Skragrott the Loonking, who not only managed to conquer the land of Ayadah but also managed to blot out the sun there, becoming the first grot to usher in the Everdank.

The '''Flesh-Eater Courts''' are what has become of many of the mortals of the realms after the Age of Chaos. [[Ghoul|Flesh-eaters]] are all delusional and believe themselves to be [[Stormcast Eternals|servants of a mighty King on a golden throne]], when in reality they are all dirty naked homeless people who eat people. In a sense they are a mixture of Don Quixote and cockroaches for the [[Age of Sigmar]]. They also see themselves as what can only be described as "Bretonnians", rejoice brothers! We are not forgotten!

==History==
The source of the Flesh-Eater madness comes from one initial progenitor; none other than [[Ushoran]] from the Old World. He was held captive by Nagash, for his trespasses against him back in Nehekhara. That was, until the Age of Chaos where Nagash betrayed Sigmar, causing him to bullishly charge into Shyish to bitchslap him for betrayal. In the process, however, he knocked over Ushoran's cage, allowing him to escape. Unfortunately, he had gone completely mad in the cage, causing him to now see himself as a benevolent and beautiful Warrior King, when in reality he was a reeeeeally ugly ghoul. This madness became contagious due to his great power, and desperate mortals (who basically lost everything) began to buy into this delusion too, becoming the first Flesh-Eaters. Since then, Ushoran (now known as the Carrion King, among many other titles) has gone missing whilst his progeny prosper, with Bonedaddy having put a huge price on his head.

==The Delusions of the Ghoul Kings==
The court is built upon the fact that every ghoul king is fucking insane and believes himself into being an glorious king atop a giant noble dragon riding into battle against invading barbarians. So pretty much King Lear if Lear was also a cannibalistic freak. The unique thing about this madness is that the illusion is shared with every follower of the king and vice-versa, so that what the king sees the court see as well. an example of this is if the king saw a [[Daemonette]] as a monstrous creature, the court would as well, if he saw another Ghoul King, he and his followers would see it as a fellow King, etc.

This aspect gets even weirder when the ghoul king has the ability to use an imaginary telescope and for the king [[What|IT JUST WORKS!]] Yes, much like a [[Orks|certain green skinned race]], whatever the ghoul king believes the universe says "fuck this" and lets it happen. This also works with the weapons they wield; in the kings eyes they're swords made of the finest steel, whilst in reality they're just a random bone or rock or skull they picked up. The same could be said for their armour, medals, and basically anything they have.

==Their Views on Nagash==
The flesh-eater opinion on the big, bad boneman himself is generally quite split and almost always nonsensical. Some Courts see him as a benevolent and shiny God, that brings forth bountiful harvests and opposes the wicked. Some, however, shit their pants whenever he's mentioned, due to either his sheer amount of power or the way he managed to imprison [[Ushoran|The Carrion King]] that spawned them. Others still can't even tell the difference between him and Sigmar. Nagash himself views them as his property (and has even cursed a kingdom in Chamon to become a Flesh-Eater court on purpose), even though he is unable to dominate them due to them technically not being undead. It works on Abhorrants because they're vampires, but even then that has the problem that their madness makes them often misinterpret his orders.

His servants, however, may not be so kind. The [[Nighthaunt]] may slaughter a Court just like most other life, though the delusional flesh eaters convince themselves that those poor, heavenly Angels were manipulated by the EEEEEEVIL [[Sigmar]].

==The Grand Courts==
Like most factions, there are many different subfactions of Flesh Eaters. Each is ruled by an Abhorrant Archregent, a [[Ghoul|Ghoul King]] whose delusion has grown so strong that it encompasses other Courts, making them essentially Emperors of massive swathes of Flesh-Eaters. There are four major Grand Courts:

*'''Morgaunt:''' The posterboys of the Flesh-Eaters. They used to be a [[Brettonia|kingdom of chivalry and honour]] in [[Shyish]], with noble Knights and loyal armies that serve their benevolent King. Sounds nice, right? And then the Age of Chaos happened. Both Sigmarite and Chaotic armies swept through their lands, ruining everything and driving them to the brink of annihilation. They turned to cannibalism, [[Grimdark|becoming debased and slavering monsters that soaked their homeland in gore]]. They've spread all throughout the realms now, and see [[Nagash|bone-daddy]] as a bright and noble God, and [[Sigmar]] as an usurper responsible for the Age of Chaos. They have lots and lots of "Serfs" (which are actually [[Ghoul|Crypt Ghouls]]).

*'''Hollowmourne:''' The Hollowmourne came from an empire that spanned across all the realms. Their King, who's name we don't know, was generally a swell guy, who discovered lots of mysterious relics. Some were too dangerous for mortal use, so he scattered them away until the time that they'd be needed. Nobody really knew about this, except for an Order of Royal Families from [[Chamon]] called the Knights of Hollowmourne. They protected the relics until Chaos came, where they decided to go on a Crusade, clad in the finest armours of Chamon. They were so confident that things would go well, that they swore oaths that their duty wouldn't go unfulfilled. [[Fail|It went about as well as expected]]. Rations ran out, they ate the peasants first, and even their mounts. Now, they're mostly [[Ghoul#Warhammer Fantasy|Crypt Horrors]], while believing that they're still Noble Knights on their steeds out on a crusade for the relics.

*'''Blisterskin:''' When sunburn goes extreme. They came from an Order of Priests that worshiped the sun, which is actually [[Hysh]] for some reason. These Priesthoods were dotted around [[Aqshy]], with the commoners and royals alike going indoors when the sunlight was hottest. They actively sought out others to convert to their weird sun-worship religion, sending missionaries Jehovah's Witness-style to other nearby nations. But, as Chaos does, it came and took a massive shit over everything and left the sun-worshippers without home, harvest, or anything that wasn't burnt. Their descent into madness was pretty quick, as they soon decided to no longer humble themselves by hiding away from their God, but instead [[Grimdark|chose to let their flesh cook and peel in its glory]]. The most pious grew wings and became [[Vargheist]]s, to get closer to their God. They still send "missionaries" to other nations, but instead of knocking at people's doors and pestering them, they just attack them. Moral of the story here is to always bring your suncream.

*'''Gristlegore:''' The Gristlegore used to be a load of hippies, that were really chill and at peace with the land they were in. Normally, this wouldn't be too big a deal, except this kingdom was in [[Ghur]], the place where literally ''everything'' is trying to eat each other. The fact they saw hunting and killing as only a necessity, and that they treated the bigass monsters and plants around with respect really says a lot about how peaceful they were. Sadly, when Chaos came it absolutely wrecked them. Anarchy came, everyone collectively shat their pants, and the royals, (who were previously pretty skilled in combat) had to watch their people burn. That is, until they became Ghoul Kings! Now, they prowl Ghur like a pack of Alpha predators, still seeking to be one with their surroundings, by piercing their flesh with realmstone and becoming reeeeeally bestial. They predictably have loads of Zombie Dragons and [[Terrorgheist]]s.
