Chaos (Warhammer)  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  (Redirected from Khorne) Jump to: navigation, search  In Games
Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40,000 fictional
universes, Chaos refers to the malevolent entities which live in
a different timespace, known as the Warp in Warhammer 40,000 and
as the Realm of Chaos in Warhammer Fantasy. The term can refer
to these warp entities and their influence, the servants and
worshippers of these entities, or even the parallel universe in
which these entities are supposed to reside. The most powerful
of these warp entities are those known as the Chaos Gods, also
sometimes referred to as the Dark Gods, Ruinous Powers, or the
Powers of Chaos. Similarities exist between the Warhammer idea
of Chaos and the concept of Chaos from Michael Moorcock's Elric
saga,[1] which also influenced D&D's alignment system. Further
similarities can be seen with the godlike extradimensional Great
Old Ones of horror writer H. P. Lovecraft's stories.  Conceptual
