Editing The End Times (section)

==Survivors==
With 3 of the incarnates as confirmed survivors despite having their magic ripped away, it is revealed that the others survived as well and became gods in the new realm. They were just sucked into the realm of Chaos, and that miracle Sigmar performed was that he reached into the Realm of Chaos with his godly powers and pulled the Winds of Magic (along with the Incarnates) BACK OUT OF THE REALM OF CHAOS.

(feel free to add to this list; it's here to say which characters from Warhammer Fantasy made it to Warhammer Age of Sigmar).    

*Sigmar- Grips onto the metal core of the world that was and becomes a true god in the new world. Creates the [[Space Marines|Stormcast Eternals]] as a force to oppose chaos. Come on, his name is in the title, of course he survived!
*Karl Franz- Implied to be the Celestant-Prime, albeit suffering from some memory loss.
*Balthazar Gelt- Reborn as a powerful Stormcast Eternal; the Lord-Arcanum Balthas Arum.  He even named his new winged steed Quicksilver like his old pegasus.  
*Be'lakor- Bound to the Chaos-repelling ruby in Alarielle's tiara, later escaped.
*Tyrion- Deified in the new world, He joins Sigmar in building the new civilizations. He goes against Sigmar's orders and leads his forces alongside Malerion's to capture Slaanesh but otherwise works with Sigmar more often than not.
*Teclis- Survived, and acts as Tyrion's guide while the latter is blind.  He also tried to re-create the elves, which didn't go fully as planned due to some lingering aftereffects of Slaanesh's corruption in their souls; they ended up becoming the Idoneth Deepkin. His second attempt, the Lumineth, succeeded.  
*Eltharion- His soul survived, and was put into a hollow suit of armour, becoming known as the Light of Eltharion.
*Malekith- Comes back as a shadow creature fused with his dragon and calls himself Malerion; looks like Games Workshop backed down in the "whose Malekith came first?" spat with Marvel.  What's also interesting, if Malekith fused with his dragon, and his dragon was female... 
*Morathi- The bitch is back. Not only escaped Slaanesh, but appeared by herself in the Realm of Shadow with Daemonette servants until her son found her. She's a bit changed after being stuck [[/d/|with/in Slaanesh and/or Slaanesh stuck with/in her]] for so long.  Found [[Khaine|Khaine's]] heart and revived his religion in an attempt to siphon his power and reach godhood herself.
*Nagash- Surprise! the great necromancer survives, and joins Sigmar for a while. He gets pissed that now he's just one god in a huge pantheon, but begrudgingly puts up with it.  When several groups start taking souls (which he considers rightfully his) he rebels and this leads to open war between the living and the dead. Has a <s>stupid looking</s> [[hats|MAGNIFICENT]] hat.
*Alarielle- Survived and took some seeds from the Warhammer world and planted them in her life realm. Went into hiding and tried to get over her PTSD brought on by the End Times through gardening which created the race of plant people called the Sylvaneth. Nurgle had his eye on her, and attacked her realm to make her his, only to be fended off by the Sylvaneth and the Stormcasts. 
*Drycha- Her pod was taken from the old world.  Alarielle refused to plant it, given Drycha's insane and violent nature.  Things got so bad that at her lowest point Alarielle replanted Drycha and she was reborn.  
*Durthu- Lives on in a sense as a group of "Spirit of Durthu" type Treelords.
*Grimnir- Joins Sigmar's alliance for a bit. He goes to fight the mother of all salamanders, and both end up destroyed in the fight.
*Grungi- Helps Sigmar forge the Stormcast Eternals.
*Gotrek Gurnisson- He's not sure how it happened either, but he's not the kind of person to question it. Realmslayer confirms he made it to Age of Sigmar.
*Gork & Mork - Now known as Gorkamorka, he joined Sigmar's alliance initially, but just wanted to fight and ended up leading the savage elements of the alliance away. Sometimes they're one being, sometimes they're two. 
*The Skaven- One of only two races to maintain their identity from the old world, they are still allied with Chaos. They brought Skavenblight into the Realm of Chaos following the Great Horned Rat's ascension to true godhood, which they have somehow managed to partly collapse back into the material realm. 
*Lizardmen- The other race to maintain their identity.  Escaped on their temple-ships, got themselves infused with Azyr to become daemon-like entities of Order, and have formed a new [[Just as Planned|Great Plan]] that will succeed where the old one failed.  Also, five Slann Mage-Priests from the previous setting are still alive since the status of the other Lizardmen is uncertain.
** Kroak is back and even [[Wat|more powerful]] than before.
*Mannfred- Shown in the promotional art for WD leading the undead. In lore, he was introduced as a charred, fanged walking skeleton, banished by Nagash to a place where everything keeps decaying but can't die as punishment for his role in the Warhammer World's destruction.  Since being brought back into the new world he's been on a cycle of getting into, and falling out of, Nagash's good graces.
*Arkhan- shown alongside Nagash leading the undead against the warriors of Khorne.  [[Awesome|He retrieved Nagash's body after the latter was killed by Archaon and thwarted Prince Vhordai's attempt to ensure Nagash's death]].  Still loves Neferata.
*Neferata- She's ruling a part of the realm of Shyish called Nulahmia.  She's forced to defend it against chaos armies of Slaanesh but has to eventually get rescued by the Stormcast Eternals, then later destroys it and rebuilds it to stop a Khornate invasion.  Also manages to build a spy network of vampire capable enough to rival followers of Tzeentch in scheming.
*Settra- Remade as Settras, Lord Celestant of the Imperishables stormhost and sworn enemy of Nagash. Regrettably, he had to be reforged a few times to remove that bit that demanded that he may never serve, only rule.
*The Glottkin- Nurgle gave them another chance after imprisoning them in jars in his mansion during The End Times .  
*The Maggoth riders.
*Archaon, now known as the Destroyer of Worlds, is once again the big bad during the reign of Chaos and has even gotten a promotion. All those rumors about him being the new hero are complete shit.  One wonders why he still serves Chaos since the Warhammer world has been destroyed and Sigmar has been irrefutably proven to be real and a god. GW seems to have trouble with consistent writing.  He even got to keep his steed Dorghar, although Dorghar has changed dramatically.
*Skarr Bloodwrath- Somehow brought back and serves the Khornate Bloodborn.  Not bad for a new guy.
*Valkia the Bloody- [[Love Can Bloom|Khorne really does care about her it seems]].
*Scyla Anfingrimm- Surviving a fall of a high tower and an apocalypse confirms him as the most badass [[Chaos Spawn|you-know-what]] ever.
*Grombrindal the White Dwarf.
*Every daemon special character, including the Skaven Verminlords.
*Thanquol and his latest version of Boneripper- He and Skreech warped Skavenblight into the realm of Chaos.  
*Morghur, the Master of Skulls - According to Josh Reynolds, he got fried during the battle of Altdorf, but since he perpetually reincarnates, it wasn't permanent. By Age of Sigmar, he had become a minor Chaos God worshipped by the Beastmen calling themselves the Gavespawn. 
*Sigvald- After his humiliating defeat, his soul wound up getting stuffed into a piece of shadeglass and dumped into Shadespire by Nagash, who was then careless enough to drop the city near where Slaanesh had been imprisoned, allowing him to regain his memories, escape, and become a full daemon prince.
*Dechala- Also became a Daemon Prince, powerful enough to be worshipped even.

The fluff also mentions many deities, so some of the old gods may have survived as well. For further details, go to the character pages or the Age of Sigmar faction pages.
