Editing Warhammer: Age of Sigmar (section)

====[[Daughters of Khaine]]====
Khaine may have died, but his heart still lived. A faction of Khaine-worshipping aelves led by Morathi, who is leeching off of their worship in the hopes of becoming a goddess (and was transformed into a winged [[Medusa]]-like creature due to her little stay with Slaanesh between AoS and the End Times); while Khaine ''could'' be reborn through the worship and sacrifices of his servants, he won't be so long as Morathi keeps redirecting all of the worship intended for him to herself. They have the [[Witch Elves]], [[Doomfire Warlocks]], and the two kits; Cauldron of Blood and Bloodwrack Shrine. They also have several new units formed from elf souls that retain a degree of Slaaneshi corruption, much like Morathi herself: the serpentine Melusai and the bat-winged Khinerai.

Morathi, having managed to claw her way out of Slaanesh's asshole, eventually teamed up Avengers-style with Malerion, Tyrion, and Teclis to beat the shit out of the Dark Prince(ss) and make him/her/it puke up all the tasty aelf souls he/she/it had swallowed after the End Times. The souls got divvied up more or less equally between the four, but Morathi - being Morathi - decided to enact some trickery that sent more souls than her allotted share her way. This had the unfortunate side effect of causing Slaanesh's orgy buddies to start a crusade into Ulgu in an attempt to free their god(dess), but it ''also'' meant that Morathi was able to start building up her own forces. Long story short, she realized that what few aelves remained were way more into the idea of worshiping Khaine than they were into worshiping her, so Morathi - again, being Morathi - tricked everyone into thinking that Khaine ''totally'' spoke to her and told her that she was his Oracle. (Side quest: Morathi tried to bang Sigmar, Nagash, and a sea monster and got slapped down by all three - literally, in the cases of Nagash and the sea monster. Hat trick!) So now the Mortal Realms have thousands of shrieking religious nutjobs running around, committing murder in the name of their god, and generally being assholes to everyone else around them. Pretty par for the course in the Warhammer universe, actually.

The Daughters of Khaine, as would be expected from a faction devoted to the "good" god of murder and bloodshed, are a little bit out of place among the rest of their Order comrades, and are almost unilaterally viewed with revulsion and varying levels of distrust because of their methods of "worship" (not to mention they worship a god of murder who's worshiped through murder and sacrificing people, vs Sigmar who loves civilization, Alarielle who nurtures life, Grungi who loves blacksmithing...) Not a bad way to view them, considering their propensity toward the abduction and murder not only of the agents of Chaos, Death, and Destruction, but of Order as well. They're tolerated - just barely - by their fellows, however, because they're just ''so goddamned good at killing'' that removing them from Sigmar's shallow pool of allies would deal a significant blow to Order's ability to combat The Bad Guys.(despite grand allianc:Order having the most armies to choose from) And quite honestly any naysayers have to concede that it is far more beneficial having them fight alongside their forces rather than against, as Order has enough enemies already, and the last thing they need is another murderous god working against them, especially a literal murder god.

However, the view of individual Temples can vary somewhat, with the various Daughters forces divided between different temples that have differing cultures. Some keep to themselves mostly in Temple-cities, while others can be surprisingly sociable, founding temples in Order Free cities to spread their faith and even intermingling with the locals (such as providing entertainment with bladed dance displays and pit-fights being quite popular). Incidentally also giving your average Order individual a somewhat neutral opinion of them in general with many a city saved by their welcome intervention. While others are just crazed berzerkers, traveling around the realms slaughtering anything they can find (chaos mostly thankfully) or operating as mercenaries. Unsurprisingly, they're pretty good pals in the lore with Alarielle's Sylvaneth due to their zeal in protecting the Realm of Life (and a shared sadism and hatred towards enemies that the Dreadwood Wargrove has), the fact that Sylvaneth probably make poor sacrifices to Khaine with their lack of blood (and their ability to make the trees around you smash you and your city to pieces), and probably also their tendency toward episodes of batshit insanity.
