![]() ![]() Tzeentch is not above sullying his hands with the blood of war, though he much prefers to win his battles through guile and devastating sorcery rather than brute force. None of Tzeentch's schemes are simple, and indeed often appear contradictory to those few outside observers able to detect the Great Sorcerer's influence. Tzeentch takes great delight in the plotting and politicking of others, and favours the cunning over the strong, the manipulative over the violent. Yet, the Raven God does not scheme towards the accomplishment of some end, but instead, strives to create tumult and turmoil for its own sake. ![]() The Raven God rewards his followers with madness and insanity, and upon death their spirits are brought to his halls in the Realm of Chaos to serve him for all eternity. įor his worshippers are naught but pawns in the Great Game to outflank his brother Ruinous Powers and to bring about the downfall of all civilisation. What mortal can dare say that they have not desired knowledge of the mysteries of destiny, or the awesome power of magic? It is Tzeentch alone who holds the true key to this terrible knowledge, and his price is steep indeed. Yet whatever his mien and whomever his people, the Changer is ever viewed as the Great Schemer, a fickle, politicking god who should be feared as much as he should not be trusted. ![]() He did, however, possess a true name in the Dark Tongue, of which the moniker Tzeentch was a derivative it was Tzeen'neth, "Lord of Change." In the dreaded Far East, he is known as "Chen the Deceiver" and the Kurgan tribes hold that his messengers are the great condors of the Eastern Steppes. His face and form shifts and turns from eternity unto eternity. For he is change, said to embody every mortal creature's recognition of, and desire, to change, to grow, to move, to seek more - more knowledge, more wealth, more power. ![]() Though weary scholars of daemonology know this god by the name of Tzeentch, in truth, he exceeds all the other Ruinous Powers in his number of facets, names and aspects. Tzeentch, also known as the " Changer of Ways," the " Lord of Change," the " Architect of Fate," Tchar (among the Kurgan), " the Wind-lord ," Chi'an Chi (in Grand Cathay), the Eagle and the Raven God (among the vicious barbarians of Norsca), and the " Great Conspirator," is the major Chaos God of change, evolution, ambition, intrigue, destiny, lies, trickery, sorcery, knowledge, and mutation. ![]()
