Heroes from Har Kuron can murder enemies to inspire their foes.

	Both of the Scáthborn have forms that merge a female aelf with distinctive bestial traits. The Khinerai are bat-elves who have the gift of flight, whilst the Melusai are snake-elves similarly to the [[Medusa]]e. It bears noting that Morathi's true form combines traits of both of these races, slithering around on a giant serpent's tail like a Melusai, yet sporting mighty bat-like wings.

	For the longest time, these two races were kept hidden in the temples of Morathi, who didn't want to reveal them to the other Races of Order (or even to her own people at large). After the Age of the Beast, though, they were finally brought out into the open, and are touted as proof of Morathi's divine status; after all, they are quite literally made in her image, so if she can do that, she ''must'' be a god! The dark secret, and the reason why she hid them in the first place, is that the first of the Scáthborn were actually given these forms because their souls had been touched by corruption during their time in the gullet of [[Slaanesh]]. Since Scáthborn seem to be true-breeding now, they have evidently managed to become at least as distinct from the [[beastmen]] as [[skaven]].

However, with the Máthcoir broken new Scathborn is now far more deformed and is being disposed.

	Rumor has it that either Melusai, Khinerai, or both will appear as playable races in the Age of the Beast [[splatbook]] for [[Age of Sigmar Roleplay]], and given that there are rules for playing things like [[Gloomspite Gitz]] and [[Troggoths]], that's not too hard to believe.

	Precisely ''why'' the Scáthborn were added to the Daughters of Khaine faction as a whole is unknown, but there are a few tentative precedents. A long-running unit in the [[Dark Elves (Warhammer Fantasy)\|Druchii]] army of Warhammer was the Harpies, who were described as a ferocious, bestial-minded fusion of female elf and bat, and the Khinerai are obvious descendant of the Harpies. The Melusai are harder to place; they probably were inspired by the Bloodwrack [[Medusa]] added to the Druchii army in 8th edition, which in turn may have been inspired by [[Dechala]], a [[Chaos Champion]] of Oldhammer who was essentially a [[Slaanesh]]-worshipping she-elf whose chaotic boons had mutated her into a knock-off [[Marilith]]. As for the '''why''' it's probably to fill out the roster for the Daughters. When the Daughters spun out from the old Dark Elves they only had three units,Witch Aelves, Sisters of Slaughter and Doomfire Warlocks. To make an entire faction with that ascetic and design Game Workshop had to make new units and ~~set's~~ no question, but when your theme is 'half naked warrior chick' only so many ways you can spin that so: they went with two common monster girls, harpy and Naga to as a base to fill out some slots.

	Their society is brutal, especially given that it's leader is [[Morathi]] and they worship [[Khaine]]. They serve Khaine with fanatical devotion, which is especially problematic considering that Khaine is the god of murder. While the Daughters of Khaine crave bloodshed and murder, they serve alongside the forces of Order – albeit tenuously. Given their tendency towards collateral damage (and rumors of kidnapping innocents and gruesome rituals), they are less respected allies and more tolerated because they're useful. Their views on the other major groups are varied. As builders of cities and civilizations, the Daughters of Khaine are at odds with the forces of Destruction. While it is said that they have an aversion to the Death faction because of a dislike for anything death-related since they nearly went extinct, it's more likely that this due to Morathi's personal grudge against Nagash for striking her and outing her true from to the rest of the pantheon. Despite their distaste for the other two, the one faction they truly hate is Chaos; they could give the Stormcast Eternals a run for their money in hating Chaos, and prosecute their crusades with particular violence against the servants of Slaanesh.

	If you're wondering why Morathi is mentioned so often that's deliberate; Morathi keeps as much of a stranglehold on Khainite society as she can. It would be out-of-character for her to do anything less (she kind of a control freak). All Khainites are either warriors that serve in their religious order, or they are leathanam (see below). Temples are found only in some realms; confirmed realms are Ulgu, Azyr and Ghyran. When they are not fighting, the Witch Aelves and Sisters of Slaughter usually participate in ritualized gladiator matches or shady pit fights. They also partake of a form of bladed dancing for the entertainment of others. Despite being a theocratic society, the Daughters of Khaine don't proselytize or win converts; the adherents are themselves the result of a breeding program, choosing their partners in line with the aims and desires of their leaders.

	*'''Khelt Nar:''' Khelt Nar has become the fastest growing of the sects established by Morathi. It began as Ironshard, a single Khainite shrine founded by the High Oracle atop a flat-topped mountain of iron known as the Rothtor. Since then it has expanded to other Realms, including a stronghold in Ghyran, and have been tasked by the High Priestess with clearing out the rampant [[Orruk Warclans\|Bonesplitterz]] that plague their territories. Khelt Nar is best known for being composed of deliciously brown dark aelves and their unique shadow-steel forging techniques which they zealously guard.		*'''Khelt Nar:''' Khelt Nar has become the fastest growing of the sects established by Morathi.

	*'''Zainthar Kai''': This reserved sect was born in the Age of Chaos when Morathi (desperate to get a leg up on the Ruinous Powers) decided to infuse a new brood of Scáthborn with three drops of Khaine’s blood. The result is a temple of veritable demi-gods who can call upon the god of murder’s strength in haze of battle, becoming the Shadow Queen’s go-to temple for making her more despised enemies disappear. The temple is mostly led by/comprised of Scáthborn, but there are contingents of Witch Aelves who function as (disposable) work horses (also maybe getting a little taste of what they put the Lethanamn through).		*'''Zainthar Kai''': This reserved sect was born in the Age of Chaos when Morathi (desperate to get a leg up on the Ruinous Powers) decided to infuse a new brood of Scáthborn with three drops of Khaine’s blood.

	*'''Har Ganeth''': One of the oldest temples founded by a Hag Queen named Hellebron in the region of Naggaroth…hey wait a minute. Literally a straight copy-paste from Warhammer Fantasy. This weird inclusion has (so far) only been given a mention in the “Covens of Blood” anthology and ~~no where~~ else. It feels like someone just heard about Hellebron and Morathi’s rivalry from the Total War games and just slapped it into AoS without any further investigation. Suffice to say, this sect will likely either be retconned or just completely ignored.		*'''Har Ganeth''': One of the oldest temples founded by a Hag Queen named Hellebron in the region of Naggaroth…hey wait a minute.

	Morathi subsequently led her forces in alliance with a group of Scourge Privateers to help lift the siege at ~~Excelcius~~, which was close to being overrun by [[Gordrakk]] ~~Waaagh~~. With her ~~Shadowqueen~~ form at the forefront Morathi and her army did well in pushing back the forces of ~~destruction~~ in the city, with her ~~Shadowqueen~~ form having little trouble taking out lowly Orruks. That was until she came face-to-face with [[Kragnos]] himself. The earthquake god had made common cause with Gordrakk and attacked her Shadow ~~queen~~ form head on. Morathi-Khaine managed to track down ~~lord~~ [[Kroak]] who had also arrived to defend the city and proposed that they needed to divert ~~Kragno's~~ from the city before he killed them all, as he was far too powerful for either of them ~~too~~ defeat.

Morathi subsequently led her forces in alliance with a group of Scourge Privateers to help lift the siege at Excelsis, which was close to being overrun by [[Gordrakk]]'s WAAAGH!.

Just as Kragnos was preparing to finish Morathi off, they managed to lure Kragnos through a portal and led him away from the city. Without him, the Destruction army was thrown into disarray and subsequently dispersed after a lengthy battle.

	Following the battle, Morathi was put on ~~trail~~, overseen by the Celestant-Prime himself on Sigmar's behalf. She was a little annoyed Sigmar himself was not present (and the not so subtle implication that it meant dealing with her was beneath his time). Morathi was charged with treason for her coup in Anvilgard. She defended her actions ~~as the as~~ Anvilgard was technically never Sigmar's alone~~, and~~ that the city prior to her annexation was barely staying alive to begin with and would have fallen eventually, ~~now~~ under her rule it ~~will~~ survive outside Chaos control. When the Celestant-Prime rejected this, Morathi retorted that as a god she wasn't answerable to Sigmar. At this, winged Stormcast sprung from ambush and the Celestant-Prime took up Ghal-Maraz and was about to sentence Morathi to death before Grungni entered the room. He announced his ~~prescence~~ by calling for clemency for Morathi before joining them. He beseeched both sides to put away their bitterness and pride and realize they were fighting for the Realms very survival, not simply trivial things like land or cities or petty pride. Though Morathi did not appreciate Grungni's condescending tone she agreed with his proposals and both she and Celestant-Prime agreed to stand down.

	Following this, the tentative alliance between Morathi and Sigmar was maintained, though with much more animosity than before. Morathi was allowed to retain control of Anvilgard for the moment as Sigmar could ill afford another battlefront opening in ~~Aqusy~~ with the forces of ~~destruction rising and as~~ a show of good faith she released all the Stormcast ~~Eternals~~ prisoners unharmed ~~from imprisonment~~ (while also secretly having a look at their stormforged creation as well), ~~in addition~~ any citizens of the former Anvilgard were permitted to leave to any nearby Sigmarite strongholds should they so desire. Unfortunately only few of the citizenry were strong enough following the siege and drop in supplies after the war to make the long journey out of Har Kuron, and ~~besides~~ many of the poorer citizens had ~~really no where~~ else to go as their homes/~~livlihoods~~ had always been in the city. So many still decided to take their chances with their new overlords.		Following this, the tentative alliance between Morathi and Sigmar was maintained, though with much more animosity than before.

While the Daughters' rule of the new city is tyrannical and harsh, for her part Morathi does not want to simply dominate her new subjects but hopes to win converts to her cause.

	On top of this, her taking the mantle of Khaine has not been universally accepted by her followers. Many devout Daughters of Khaine have started to see her as a usurper trying to claim the mantle of Khaine himself (the rewriting of history might have been a giveaway). ~~With one~~ of the biggest challenges so far ~~coming~~ from the ruling Hag Queen of the Kraith who challenged Morathi directly upon Hag Narr itself before Morathi killed her (though this had the unfortunate side-effect of driving her opponents further underground making them harder to ~~route~~ out). Even among her loyalists, some consider taking Anvilgard to be too costly in the long run. And then members of both groups don't approve of her alliance with the Idoneth Deepkin, who many Daughters of Khaine distrust (and the feeling's mutual), and see their soul-tithe as too extreme even for them. The amount of Khainites working against Morathi has been steadily growing. Ironically, her ascending to godhood has actually caused a greater fissure in her control than when she was mortal.

	This has also been compounded with disturbing developments with Morathi herself. Witnesses have reported her apparently arguing and screaming at herself in private ~~are becoming more common~~, and she seems to fluctuate between calm and enraged seemingly at random. Since the splitting of her soul during the Broken Realms saga her essence now resides in two separate individuals, the cunning and charismatic Morathi-Khaine and the angry and embittered Shadow-Queen and both have been increasingly warring for dominance of their shared soul. Most disturbingly her Shadow-Queen aspect apparently took her loss to Kragnos harder than originally thought. Feeling humiliated after being dominated in combat by the earthquake god the monstrous Shadow-Queen in a rage smashed her way out of her own temple and made a ~~bee-line~~ straight for Thondia in Ghur to get revenge on the ~~destruction God~~. Morathi-Khaine ~~upon hearing this~~ was highly disturbed by this incident and immediately set off with a war host in pursuit of her enraged other half (while also being very worried as her other aspect seems to be developing a will of its own).

	Whatever happens things are looking to get a lot bloodier in Thondia very soon...........		Whatever happens things are looking to get a lot bloodier in Thondia very soon...........

	While Morathi was gone Har Kuron was once again put into peril. Nagash found out about all the souls she stole from him to ascend as well as all the ones she gave to the Idoneth to make peace with them. Enraged at the theft of what he saw as his property but far too weakened to deal with the matter himself Nagash decides to summon Kurdoss Valentian, the Craven King, since while he’s competent he’s not one of his more powerful generals so he's unlikely to try anything ~~with~~ learning of Nagash’s weakened state (plus he knows Kurdoss is desperate to get on ~~Nagashes~~ good side). He then tasks ~~Kudross~~ to reclaim some souls specifically from Morathi since Nagash still doesn’t know where most of the Idoneth are located. Kurdoss ambushes the city with a massive Nighthaunt army led by both himself and Vayon of the Withered Quill, one of the dreaded Scriptors Mortis while the majority of the ~~cities~~ standing army are distracted with a grand gladiatorial contest. Reaping a heavy toll on the cities civilian population (~~espeically~~ with the help of Kudross personal Craventhrone Guard) they cut deep into the city causing heavy damage. Unfortunately for the Nighthaunt the reaping of souls is cut short when the Daughters realize what’s going on and retaliate faster than anticipated with High Gladiatrix Yelena and company chasing the Nighthaunt back into the underground catacombs and eventually pushing them out of the city. Regardless Kurdoss succeeded in his ~~mission more or less~~ by claiming many souls from both Daughters of Khaine and Har Kuron's civilian population while also sending a message to Morathi and her allies that Nagash was not finished with them, not by a long shot.
