<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Chaos God Birth"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/31.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Chaos God Birth
When Slaanesh was born, his/her/its birth shrieks killed or drove mad most of the Eldar.

Surely when Tzeentch was born, his would have been worse given that he is the god of psychic shenanigans. Not to mention that there were two more chaos gods, and unless the lore was changed without me knowing, they were born relatively recently in galactic history in 40k.

I apologize if this has been explained elsewhere]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/765148/10185719.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/765148/10185719.page GMT Chaos God Birth
When Khorne, Nurgle and Tzeentch were born? Well, who knows. There's at least one school of thought that they were previously 'neutral' gods, that become corrupted.

Tzeentch was a God of Hope. Khorne of Martial Honour. Nurgle of Life. As The Warp fell out of balance, the negative emotions grew, and changed the relevant entities.

Now that's not actually canon as such, just one of a number of theories.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/765148/10185737.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/765148/10185737.page GMT Chaos God Birth

Slaanesh was directly caused by Aeldari emotions and excess, so it's got a closer tie to it's 'parent' species.

That's quite an interesting way of thinking about it. I guess none of the gods existed at one stage, but the balance thing is quite cool. It's the "from a certain point of view" thing. They might not be evil if people didn't commit evil, but in 40K it's nearly always a downward spiral.

I seem to remember it written that some gods weren't "created" in a single event, but grew with no discernible point at which they achieved consciousness. Also I've read that... once a god comes into existence, due to the vaguries of the warp, it has always existed. This is hard to understand and really messed up the time.

With Slaanesh that was very specifically based around the Eldar themselves. Their lust, pain, pleasure, hedonism was broiling in the warp as psychic waves and emotions until it achieved a point at which a new god was created, rather than just the waves and ripples.

How did the "Old Ones" and original Necrontyr influence the warp?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/765148/10185816.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/765148/10185816.page GMT Chaos God Birth Most likely as the other 3 gods are not specifically tied to a single species (that we know of*), the aftershock of their births was not felt in a specific manner. Although the Black Plague is thought to have either been the result of Nurgle's "birth" or the cause of it

* It's entirely possible that there could have been a species directly responsible for the birth one of the other gods, but their birth completely obliterated that particular species and it was such a long time ago that no records or even hints of their existence can ever be found

where Slaanesh differs is the Eldar being the most psychic of the mortal races meant Slaanesh grew very powerful very quickly and gobbled up all the other previous beings that shared her remit, along with all the Eldar gods (bar Khaine and Clownogach) until blasting into self awareness wrecking the Eldar and causing the Eye]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/765148/10186407.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/765148/10186407.page GMT Re:Chaos God Birth

Not maybe, definitely. Isha is a prisoner of Nurgle, who constantly feeds her his new diseases to test them out. She, in turn, secretly smuggles cures to those diseases to the mortal world.

If it is that explicitly stated, I think it is only a matter of time till the Ishari are a faction. Perhaps that would be the Exodites, when I think about it. I can only hope!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/765148/10186586.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/765148/10186586.page GMT Re:Chaos God Birth

And not forgetting that now we have the newest edition to the Eldar pantheon: Ynnead. Also, how come Cegorach never got an avatar, or is there one on Forgeworld that I missed?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/765148/10186857.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/765148/10186857.page GMT Chaos God Birth http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/765148/10186860.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/765148/10186860.page GMT Re:Chaos God Birth
