'''Khorne''' is the [[Chaos]] god of anger, violence, and hate. Every act of violence gives Khorne power, whether committed by his followers or by enemies. The name "Khorne" derives from his [[Dark Tongue]] name, ''Kharneth'', meaning "Lord of Rage" or "Lord of Blood".
He is the mightiest and the oldest of the four [[Chaos gods]], fully coming into existence during [[Terra]]'s middle ages. His main rival is [[Tzeentch]], whose preference for manipulation ; Khorne looks upon the use of magic as cowardly above all else and psychic powers is abhorreddislikes Tzeentch because of this. But [[Slaanesh]] incurs most of Khorne's hatred, considered a weakling unable of having any martial pride or honour.
Images of Khorne show it to be a mighty being, sitting upon a great throne of brass atop a mountainous pile of bleached skulls. The skulls are of all those slain by Khorne's [[Chaos Champion|Champions]], and of all his slain Champions. The mountain slowly grows ever higher.
