Changes

Once a year, one of the [[Exarch]]s of a Craftworld is chosen by its [[Farseer]]s to hold the title of [[Young King]].{{Fn|2}} When a Craftworld prepares for a major war, its Exarchs begin to feel the Avatar's call. The Exarchs go to the door leading into the Avatar's chamber. There they begin the ancient ritual to rouse the Avatar, where they anoint the Young King and sing battle hymns. The Young King is given the mantle of the Craftworld, to identify to the Avatar of their allegiance, followed by filling a cup with the Young King's blood. Then the chamber's door opens, and wielding The Wailing Doom and the bloody cup in each hand the Young King enters. The Exarchs continue the ritual at the entrance. It may take hours or days, but finally a terrible scream echoes from the chamber and the Avatar rises. There is no sign of the Young King - it is unknown whether the Young King is united with Khaine or is destroyed.{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|8}}
