In preparation for BOYL I've been playing the best bit of Realm of Chaos - rolling up some warbands. As is my way I've been over-thinking the setting, rather than just enjoying the game as it's presented.
My thought is, it's clear why Khorne draws his followers to a big mosh in the chaos wastes, testing them to destruction, but what are the rest of them doing there? It's a question for stronger minds than mine how Nurgle or Slaanesh would test their followers to destruction, but following the theme of the Blood God (and presumably strengthening him in the process) surely isn't it?
Nurgle is about decay so he'll probably just throw them all in the nastiest environment or the most boring one and see how they just embrace giving up and not caring about anything for the sher joy of just being here.
ReplyDeleteSlaanesh types would probably be tested on their level of perversion and how they let go any trace of morality to for the sake of finding the most extreme pleasure. I guess ^^'
