Changes

Each of the Chosen of Abaddon is a mighty [[Chaos Lord]] in his own right and in charge of his own forces. When brought together by their master, they fulfil specific tasks in major operations such as the [[Black Crusades]]. The various titles and duties each of them bears are somewhat aligned to one of the four [[Gods of Chaos]].^{{Fn|2 }}

Should one of the Chosen fall, either killed in battle or executed for failure, another Chaos Lord of equal strength will inevitably rise and take his place.^{{Fn|2}}
