Editing Chaos Gods (section)

===When Tzeentch was the best/ The Great Beast===
According to recent Tzeentch Codex/Battletome Tzeentch was at one point the sole major chaos god. When chaos was first forming (just after War in Heaven for 40k) there were many chaos gods and entities competing (rather than the total domination that exists now). Tzeentch somehow became number one, and was a super god of sorts. A rebellion by all the other chaos gods forced him to break his staff as a token of surrender and to prevent the other Gods from being as strong as him, creating the Tzeentch we know today and his staff fractured into many pieces to create magic, which because of warp time fuckery, both technically already happened. In the same way that Slaanesh has always existed in 40k, the new Tzeentch has always existed the way he is without his staff. Tzeentch's new self and Slaanesh started doing that when they were created relative to the materium, while the Warp is such a mess that a contradiction like Tzeentch both having and not having a staff and having magic exist before he created it is basically nothing.

This is a variant of the backstory of [[The Blue Scribes]]. The shattered pieces of Tzeentch staff each became a different spell or incantation, creating magic across the multiverse. The Blue Scribes are tasked to go across dimensions and catalogue every spell they come across, in the hopes of restoring Tzeentch's staff and returning him to supremacy.

This actually ties in with older Warhammer Fantasy lore where insane scholars theorized that the 4 Chaos Gods were merely Aspects of a larger god of Chaos Undivided, "The Great Beast".
