	Soon she was ready for the final stages of her gambit to ascend to godhood. First she had to steal an artifact from the [[Idoneth Deepkin]], the Ocarian Lantern; an object made by Teclis to retrieve elven souls from Slaanesh's belly, stolen by the Idoneth who feared Teclis would use it to track them down. Naturally, this was kept under heavy guard. So, sixty Khainites went into <s>the water</s> the temple. One Khainite came out, the <s>sharks</s> Idoneth took the rest.

One Khainite came out, the <s>sharks</s> Idoneth took the rest (keeping one alive for interrogation). That one Khainite, although left blind and half-mad by the ordeal, had the lantern.

	Then, Morathi had to secure some of the realmstone of the [[Warcry\|Eightpoints, called Varanite]], having learned about it during the Age of Sigmar. She convinced Sigmar and [[Alarielle]] of the coming threat (please ignore the plot hole of Alarielle trusting Morathi given their history in the World-That-Was), getting Stormcast reinforcements from the former and getting the later to re-open the Genesis Gate and sweep aside the forces of Chaos guarding it. Morathi even sent a secret delegation to [[Katakros]], providing tonnes of bones imbued with the magic of Ulgu in exchange for a Bonereaper assault on Archaon's holdings. After acquiring the Varanite, Morathi and her Daughters of Khaine left their Stormcast allies to die.

	Morathi's plan didn't go off without a few hitches. Apart from the aforementioned Newborn of Slaanesh, a resistance movement of men and elves still loyal to Sigmar remains in the city, and one of the captive Stormcast was eventually freed by a winged shadowy figure later revealed to be working for Be'lakor, who did this to ensure the forces of Order were too busy fighting each other to stop his own plans. As a result, Sigmar learned of Morathi's treachery and sent an army of Stormcast to take the city back. The Stormcast were winning until Morathi arrived at the head of an Idoneth army and started to turn the tide and would have slaughtered them all...but unexpectedly at that moment, the Celestant-Prime intervened. To the surprise of all, he called for a ceasefire and parley, which Morathi accepted. They parleyed for a whole night, with no one knowing what was said but them. The next day, the Celestant-Prime ordered the Stormcast to withdraw, ceding the city to Morathi. Morathi had to give something to them in return, but what it was isn't stated (maybe the release of the captured Stormcast Eternals).		Morathi's plan didn't go off without a few hitches.

	~~In a new piece of Broken Realms fiction~~, Morathi ~~is just~~ in the middle of dealing with the human's revolts after her newest conquest ~~when her son decides to show up unexpectedly~~. She pours herself some spiced blood ~~and~~ he congratulates her ascension to godhood...before immediately calling her a ~~slut who's still tied down to her~~ short-sighted ~~baser instincts~~. Morathi promptly takes this in stride by cutting off one of his fingers and telling him he can't talk to her like that anymore. Malerion puts on a stern face and points out that on the contrary, he has every right to talk to her like this as thanks to her actions Sigmar's now gunning for her ~~and has been~~ having his Stormcast train against magical copies of her ~~daughters~~ of Khaine, ~~plus~~ in more dire news he points out ~~that~~ her actions have weakened Slaanesh's bonds all of which is threatening their long term plans. Morathi waves him off saying Sigmar would rather have one of his cities fall to someone who will at least keep the place standing as she will and even if he doesn't think that way she has plans to stop him, not that she thinks it will come to that anytime soon as soon everyone will be too busy dealing with the rise of Alarielle and the forces of Life now that the Necroquake is receding (thanks to Nagash getting his ass kicked by Teclis). She also points out that he should be more worried about his own lands in Ulgu as apparently an emboldened Tyrion's forces have begun to prod at his borders and have been trying to make a stable path into Ulgu from the ruins of the chasm city of Cathartia in Hysh ~~but~~ Malerion ~~points out~~ that he has his own agents working on the matter both by undermining the twins from within their own forces and by collecting certain objects from places like Shyish to serve as bargaining chips for him. Upon hearing of his plans, Morathi is actually somewhat impressed and even manages to feel the embers of affection for her son that she thought were long extinguished even calling him her "little magpie" but moments after saying this she cuts the meeting short as she still has some killing to do if she's going to put her revolting human subjects in their place...		During this time, Morathi's son Malerion paid a surprise visit while she was in the middle of dealing with the human's revolts after her newest conquest.

	Morathi later ~~makes~~ an ~~unexpected appearance~~ in the ~~final book in the Broken Realms Saga, Broken Realms: Kragnos. Drawn to the Ghurish city~~ of Excelsis (its never outright stated how or why she arrived but its heavily implied assisting Excelcius was part of her deal with the Celestant-Prime) ~~Morathi ends up arriving in~~ her Black Ark ~~just as a set of~~ 3 Kraken Eater Mega-Gargants allied to Kragnos ~~are~~ attacking the docks of the city. The Black Ark and Morathi~~'s magic~~ make short work of them before the Daughters of Khaine ~~emerge from the boat and flood the city~~, effortlessly tearing through the invading Orruks and their forces like a bunch of dancing murder-blenders. Morathi ~~then sicks her~~ Serpentine second body ~~against~~ Kragnos ~~to distract him~~ while her elven~~-looking~~ body ~~seeks out~~ Lord Kroak ~~whose been~~ trying to help out the city with his magic powers. ~~Finding~~ him and realizing Kragnos is too powerful for any of them to kill Morathi ~~then convinces~~ Kroak to send Kragnos away where he can be someone else's problem. Kroak ~~then opens a~~ massive portal which Morathi ~~casts~~ an illusion on ~~to trick Kragnos into thinking~~ it ~~will lead him~~ to ~~his long-lost Drogrukh kin and~~ the remanants of his sworn foes, the Draconith Empire. Being about as dumb as he is big Kragnos falls for the illusion and goes through the portal which proceeds to drop his ass on the far side of Ghur. Without his presence in the city the Orruk lines begin to crumble allowing the defenders to force them into retreating~~; meanwhile Kragnos upon realizing he's been duped proceeds to take out his frustration on the local Chaos fortress while a bunch of local Orruk look on in awe at the spectacle~~. Once the battle in Excelsis has finally wrapped up Morathi finds herself in the throne room of the city's capital where she's confronted by the Celestant Prime. He ~~tries to tear into her for~~ her previous seizing ~~of the city~~ of Anvilgard and ~~for generally being a traitor but~~ she ~~proceeds to counter this~~ by saying ~~that~~ the city was never Sigmar's exclusive property therefore nothing was stolen from him and she can't be a traitor as she's an independent goddess ~~and~~ never swore fealty to Sigmar. Just as they are about to come to blows their bickering is stopped by the arrival of the god Grungni who proceeds to point out that they don't have time for this pointless nonsense as the shit has officially hit the fan between Be'lakor blowing up realm gates and Kragnos awakening. He also points out that while Morathi's plans to ascend to godhood had caused a mess if she hadn't done so they couldn't have held off Kragnos and he would have obliterated the city so, therefore, everyone should just let her have the damn city of Anvilgard and move on to focus on the next threat to which they agree.		Morathi later appeared at the head of an elven fleet in the Battle of Excelsis (its never outright stated how or why she arrived but its heavily implied assisting Excelcius was part of her deal with the Celestant-Prime). Arriving on her personal Black Ark, they encounter 3 Kraken Eater Mega-Gargants allied to Kragnos attacking the docks of the city. The Black Ark's weapons and Morathi make short work of them before the Daughters of Khaine go ashore, effortlessly tearing through the invading Orruks and their forces like a bunch of dancing murder-blenders. Morathi's Serpentine second body attacked Kragnos while her elven body sought Lord Kroak, who was trying to help out the city with his magic powers. She found him just as Kragnos overpowered her serpent body and was about to kill her. Quickly realizing Kragnos is too powerful for any of them to kill, Morathi suggested Kroak send Kragnos away where he can be someone else's problem. Kroak replied by opening massive portal which Morathi cast an illusion on so he thought it led to the remanants of his sworn foes, the Draconith Empire.

	In addition, all this pales in comparison to her own personal problems. Since her sundering within Slaaneshs stomach her Morathi-Khaine aspect has since displayed many odd behaviors.

In addition her mood has become erratic and unpredictable, seemingly becoming enraged or tranquil at random moments. What Morathi wants no one to know is since her splitting she has been warring for dominance of her shared soul with her Shadow-Queen aspect as while Morathi-Khaine contains all her guile and charisma, her Shadow Queen aspect represents all her rage and bitterness of all the wrongs that have befell her and looks to become the dominant force. While she has in the past been able to keep her other aspect in line eventually her Shadow Queen aspect went berserk and destroyed her temple home before disappearing into the wilds of Ghur. Her Shadow Queen form no longer able to tolerate the shame of being bested so easily in combat by Kragnos at the Siege of Excelcis wishes to find the Destruction god for a rematch.

Though she lets not even her closets attendants know how unnerved she is of this development as it appears her Shadow Queen aspect is developing a distinct will of its own (plus more than likely fears death herself if Kragnos kills her other half since they share a soul).

	~~Morahi~~ has kept her place in the grand alliance though she realizes she will have to be wary of future retribution from both Sigmar and Lumineth. Though she is confident that they are both too distracted with other threats to worry about her and her machinations (for now anyway). As part of her agreement with the Celestant Prime all the Stormcast prisoners are released unharmed, though they have sworn to retake the city at a later date. Morathi still took the time to study their stormforged construction for potential weaknesses within them. In addition Morathi has allowed any citizens in the city freedom to leave to nearby Sigmarite settlements as per her agreement, though given how dangerous travel over the realms can be many are forced to take their chances in Har Kuron. However, Morathi is not without some level of accommodation. Putting on grand arena fights to entertain her new subjects while also trying to win over new converts from the people.

	Morathi later makes an unexpected appearance in the final book in the Broken Realms Saga, Broken Realms: Kragnos. Drawn to the Ghurish city of Excelsis (its never outright stated how or why she arrived but its heavily implied assisting Excelcius was part of her deal with the Celestant-Prime) Morathi ends up arriving in her Black Ark just as a set of 3 Kraken Eater Mega-Gargants allied to Kragnos are attacking the docks of the city. The Black Ark and Morathi's magic make short work of them before the Daughters of Khaine emerge from the boat and flood the city, effortlessly tearing through the invading Orruks and their forces like a bunch of dancing murder-blenders.

Just as they are about to come to blows their bickering is stopped by the arrival of the god Grungni who proceeds to point out that they don't have time for this pointless nonsense as the shit has officially hit the fan between Be'lakor blowing up realm gates and Kragnos awakening. He also points out that while Morathi's plans to ascend to godhood had caused a mess if she hadn't done so they couldn't have held off Kragnos and he would have obliterated the city so, therefore, everyone should just let her have the damn city of Anvilgard and move on to focus on the next threat to which they agree.

	In a new piece of Broken Realms fiction, Morathi is just in the middle of dealing with the human's revolts after her newest conquest when her son decides to show up unexpectedly. She pours herself some spiced blood and he congratulates her ascension to godhood...before immediately calling her a slut who's still tied down to her short-sighted baser instincts. Morathi promptly takes this in stride by cutting off one of his fingers and telling him he can't talk to her like that anymore. Malerion puts on a stern face and points out that on the contrary, he has every right to talk to her like this as thanks to her actions Sigmar's now gunning for her and has been having his Stormcast train against magical copies of her daughters of Khaine, plus in more dire news he points out that her actions have weakened Slaanesh's bonds all of which is threatening their long term plans. Morathi waves him off saying Sigmar would rather have one of his cities fall to someone who will at least keep the place standing as she will and even if he doesn't think that way she has plans to stop him, not that she thinks it will come to that anytime soon as soon everyone will be too busy dealing with the rise of Alarielle and the forces of Life now that the Necroquake is receding (thanks to Nagash getting his ass kicked by Teclis). She also points out that he should be more worried about his own lands in Ulgu as apparently an emboldened Tyrion's forces have begun to prod at his borders and have been trying to make a stable path into Ulgu from the ruins of the chasm city of Cathartia in Hysh but Malerion points out that he has his own agents working on the matter both by undermining the twins from within their own forces and by collecting certain objects from places like Shyish to serve as bargaining chips for him. Upon hearing of his plans, Morathi is actually somewhat impressed and even manages to feel the embers of affection for her son that she thought were long extinguished even calling him her "little magpie" but moments after saying this she cuts the meeting short as she still has some killing to do if she's going to put her revolting human subjects in their place...
