Editing Kurnous (section)

== [[Age of Sigmar]] ==
While still no word if he managed to revive in Age of Sigmar, the [[Sylvaneth#Free_Spirits|Kurnoth Hunters]] revere a God know as Kurnoth, [[Everqueen#Age_of_Sigmar|Alarielle's]] "Soul-Consort". While it hasn't been outright stated whether this is a separate entity or not it is heavily implied that Kurnoth could be a revived Kurnous, or at least a reincarnation.

The new Sylvaneth Battletome however is reason to hope. He not only exsits within Alarielle's spear, which used to be his spear, but some traces of his being still exist and stir occasionally.

In one of the more recent Warhammer Horror novels, it is revealed that the resurgent Alarielle might well have split the spirit of Kurnous when she first asserted authority over Ghyran, taking the more noble, less bloodthirsty aspect and forming it into Kurnoth to serve as her "Soul-Consort" and imprisoning the darker, much more murdery aspect underneath an area known as Weld not far from where Greywater Fastness now stands. When Sigmar and the Azyrites drove away Chaos and began actively colonizing the area around Weld, they inadvertently awakened the sleeping dark part of Kurnoth and he began influencing the mortal population, encouraging them to perform sacrifices and other worship in his name to help with his rebirth. Alarielle is seemingly aware of this, sending Sylvaneth to try and disrupt the locals and their doings, but given that she has other pretty significant concerns "dark" Kurnoth is coming along quite well in terms of regaining his power, corrupting the people of Weld and the area itself with his bloodthirsty nature. This aspect of Kurnoth takes the traditional form of the god, a huge male figure with a stag's head and hooves, but in this case the form is made entirely of weeping, rotting wood (because he's darkkkkk). Some Sylvaneth have fallen under his influence and most of those that watch over the area are pretty damn afraid of him, but for now "dark" Kurnoth is contained to the region around Weld and is not yet strong enough to get back at Alarielle for trying to lock him up for eternity.
