Daughters of Khaine – Bloody warriors in the name of the god Khaine

Daughters of Khaine are a dark and bloodthirsty faction in Age of Sigmar, comprised of fearless elven warriors who worship Khaine, the god of murder. This army draws its strength from sacrificial rituals and bloody rites that invoke the favor of their dark god. Filled with fury and hatred, the Daughters of Khaine fight with unstoppable ferocity, seeking to fulfill the bloody prophecies of their priestesses and pay homage to their god through mass slaughter on the battlefield.

History and origins of the Daughters of Khaine

The Daughters of Khaine hail from dark elven tradition that stretches back to before the Fall of Aelven. Following the events of the Mortal Realms Rebirth, these warriors have united under the leadership of Morathi, a powerful priestess and sorceress who seeks to restore the glory of Khaine, the god of murder. Morathi, caught up in centuries of political machinations and betrayals, has discovered ancient secrets that allow her to manipulate Khaine's powers. Her goal is to gain as much power as possible through manipulation, bloody rituals, and endless war.

Leaders and Gods of Daughters of Khaine

The most important figure of Daughters of Khaine is Morathi, a powerful priestess who has become almost divine through her clever manipulation of Khaine's energies. She is both the religious and military leader of the faction, leading her warriors into battle and overseeing dark rituals. Morathi is known for her ruthlessness and ambition, and her primary goal is to restore Khaine to his full power, even if it means sacrificing thousands of innocents.

Khaine, the god of murder, is the guiding force behind the Daughters of Khaine faction. Though his presence is weakened, the priestesses still perform rituals in his honor, seeking to invoke his favor through mass sacrifices and death on the battlefield. Khaine is the god of blood and war, and his warriors strive to embody his ruthless nature in every battle.

Other important figures in this faction include the Hag Queens, priestesses of Khaine who lead the ritual ceremonies and bolster their armies with the power of their god. Slaughter Queens are masters of combat, leading their warriors to the front lines in holy crusades of murder.
