[[File:Morr symbol.png|left|200px]] [[File:Morr.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Morr according to Warhammer: Invasion.]] A god in [[Warhammer Fantasy]]. Morr is the human god of the dead in the setting. His followers see to funerals, and try to keep the dead at rest as well as do their part (usually by aiding Witch Hunters) against the [[Vampire Counts|Undead]]. He maintains the afterlife for humans in the setting, which is a calm and restful place where sanctuaries for the other human gods also exist to provide whatever afterlives they see fit to give. He also has power over dreams and to a limited extent prophecy. He is the reason skulls are so prevalent on [[Empire]] architecture, being that he is a very important being to both commoner and noble. Despite being a human god, he is described as being the brother of [[Khaine]] with whom he has a very poor relationship. He is worshiped as an elf named [[Sarriel]] by [[High Elves]] and [[Wood Elves (Warhammer)|Wood Elves]], and as a [[Dwarf]] god named [[Gazul]]. He has a third name, [[Forsagh]], given to him by gypsies. After [[Sigmar]] and [[Ulric]], he is the most popular god in the Empire. His name is often lent to names relating to the undead, like the evil warpstone moon [[Morrslieb]]. Morr's got a few knightly orders dedicated to him as well - the Black Guard/Knights of Morr (Black-armoured knights who will use ranged weapons and are under a vow of silence [...outside of actual battle, of course] on their duty to guard graves and Morr-sacred places from the undead to the death), Knights of the Raven (veteran vampire hunters who instead aggressively seek to destroy the undead and their masters that seem to be jinxed [probably due to vampires]), and the Order of the Black Rose (mostly just a knightly order who just uses their black armour to look spooky). In [[Vermintide]], Saltzpyre often quoted "Morr's scythe" before fighting any of his enemies (usually Stormvermins or Chaos Warriors), that the god of death would claim the souls of their enemies before their enemy gods (chaos gods and horned rat) does. Of note, one of the neater scenery models GW has released is named after him; the Garden of Morr. In the [[End Times]], [[Nagash]] defeated and consumed the god of the Underworld, [[Usirian]], which seemingly also resulted in the destruction of Morr, indicating Morr and Usirian are the same god with different names. Or at least that's how it appeared until... ==Priests== {{whfb-stub}}{{NeedsImages}} Priests of Morr are found throughout the old world wherever there are dead to be taken care of, his is not a religion which is practised widely. Most people pay homage to Morr during funerals and avoid his cult the rest of the time. He is worshipped mainly by mourners, who offer up prayers and sacrifices in the hope that their departed will reach his realm safely and prosper there. The cult is not centrally organised, and each local temple/funerary house is independent. The most senior temple is located in Luccini, Tilea, where a convocation is held every ten years and matters of religious doctrine are debated and decided upon. As Morr is vehemently opposed to the undead to the point that even [[vampire|involuntary infected]] are destroyed the priesthood of Morr is adamant in hunting down any of their priesthood who would use [[necromancy|the dark arts]] to deny Morr his due. Any extension of ones natural lifespan is not enough to get you killed but it is enough to earn the priesthoods suspicion and [[Witch_Hunters|frequent visits from their representatives]] for inspection of possible [[heresy|foul play]]. ==Knightly Orders== {{whfb-stub}}{{NeedsImages}} *[[Knightly_Orders_of_the_Empire| The Black Guard of Morr]] - They are called upon to hunt down [[undead]] and the necromancers who would bring them into the world. The knights of Morr are widely feared for their devotion to the god of the dead, and dark tales are abound regarding their initiation rites. Even so, their martial prowess is more than welcome to those they fight alongside, for their silent efficiency is among the best in the [[empire]]. ==Age of Sigmar== The Mortal Realms' equivelant of Morr is Morrda. Seen as the patron of the Anvils of the Heldenhammer stormhost, legend claims that Morrda is the only death god who has managed to escape being devoured by Nagash. The Lethisian Defenders allegiance abilities from Forbidden Power gives its priests the ability to call upon prayers dedicated to Morrda, suggesting the myth is true and he's still capable of divine intervention. According to the Obernarn Stone found in Tome of Salvation, he has survived the world's destruction at least twice now. ==Gallery== <gallery> Morr old.jpg Morr shrine.jpg|A shrine to Morr.
