A goddess in Warhammer Fantasy worshiped by the men of Tilea and Estalia, as well as the Empire in a reduced capacity. She's an outright knockoff of Athena, being a goddess of strategy and the chain of command. Her followers are usually rivals of the main gods of the setting (Ulric and Sigmar respectively), who are mainly about going on human WAAAGH!s against Chaos worshipers and the Undead. She is the daughter of Morr, the human god of the dead, and Verena, the goddess of justice and scholars. According to 4th edition Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, a language 'Battle Tongue' used by human soldiers in, well, battle was created by Myridia herself. She has a number of knightly orders, but the most prominent is the Order of the Blazing Sun, which produces classically heavily-armoured knights whose real claim to fame is being exemplars of her tenets that are some of the best tacticians/strategists around. Her sister is Shallya, goddess of mercy and healing. She has no 40k analogue. She apparently managed to survive the End Times and live on into AOS as there is mention of a gender neutral knightly order ”the Order of the Ardent Star” that worshipped the goddess at their fortress on the Flamescar Plateau. They rode giant murder lizards (who sadly did not breathe fire) into battle and had a banner with a star on it that supposedly was given to them by the goddess hence their order’s name. Unfortunately they were all but obliterated by a horde of Khornate warriors during the Age of Chaos with the exception of a single female knight who managed to escape with the banner into the mountains.
