Editing Khaine (section)

===Age of Sigmar===

In Age of Sigmar Khaine (like all the Aelven gods) is dead, killed in the End Times. But the Aelven Gods are cyclical and will reincarnate if there's any bits of them left and they're worshiped enough. Most of Khaine's parts ended up in Khorne's control...somehow and were reforged into weapons for his greatest generals, except for Khaine's iron heart. Despite the greatest efforts of Khorne's forges, the heart would not break or even crack, and even the mightiest efforts of Khorne himself only succeeded in squeezing eight drops of blood from it. Finally Khorne got frustrated and hurled it away where, after a lot of shit, it came into the clutches of Morathi, who declared herself the High Oracle of Khaine and started uniting Khaine's worshipers to bring Khaine back to life.

Except not. Holding onto the Iron Heart of Khaine has allowed [[Morathi]] to steal its power and she's using it as part of her plan to ascend to Godhood. After centuries of plotting, Morathi gathered the resources and tools to undertake a ritual - enter Slaanesh's belly and consume the souls of the Phoenix Kings from the World-That-Was. But Morathi hesitated when she reached Aenarion's soul, which cut hers in half, leaving Morathi one soul in two bodies. She then took all the power she'd accumulated, fused her essence with that of Khaine's heart and became the goddess Morathi-Khaine. Khaine as he was is gone in AoS, and Morathi-Khaine is all that remains... maybe. Given that Khaine's will is a strange thing, perhaps he just wanted to be a banging hot crazy snake goddess for a bit. Gods are weird like that.
