Editing Daughters of Khaine (section)

===Broken Realms===
The Daughters of Khaine worked with Scourge privateers to get information about the Idoneth Deepkin the same way as their kin in the World-That-Was; lots of torture and mind-invading magic. From this they learn the location of a valued Deepkin artifact, the Ocarian Lantern; made by - and stolen from - Teclis, it acted as a lure for souls. Morathi sent sixty of her best soldiers to get it from its heavily guarded underwater temple; two survived, one as an Idoneth prisoner and the other returned to Morathi with the lantern.

She fused with Khaine's heart and became the goddess Morathi-Khaine. Thus Khaine as he was is gone forever, and Morathi - now Morathi-Khaine - is their goddess instead of just their High Oracle (albeit now split into two bodies, Morathi-Khaine and the Shadow Queen after [[Aenarion|her hubby's soul]] [[Rip and Tear|took exception]] to Morathi's plan while in Slaanesh).

Morathi's first action was to broker an alliance with the [[Idoneth Deepkin]], offering Volturnos the souls of his fellow Cythai elves to sweeten the deal. She then ended her alliance with Sigmar by launching a coup that brought Anvilgard under her rule and renaming it Har Kuron. The Daughters of Khaine/Morathi-Khaine now fight with a newfound zeal as they launched a <s>crusade</s> <s>jihad</s> holy war to expand Morathi's empire. When Sigmar found out, he sent a Stormcast army to re-take Har Kuron, the fighting raging until the Celestant-Prime arrived and offered to parley with Morathi. The two disappear for a night, and when they returned an agreement had been reached. Morathi was allowed to keep the city, and what she promised in return is unknown. Following her ascension, Morathi also began [[1984|slowly re-writing the Daughters' scriptures and records of history, plus remodeling their religious iconography, to put herself at the center of everything]].

Morathi subsequently led her forces in alliance with a group of Scourge Privateers to help lift the siege at Excelsis, which was close to being overrun by [[Gordrakk]]'s WAAAGH!. With her Shadow Queen form at the forefront Morathi and her army did well in pushing back the forces of Destruction in the city, with her Shadow Queen form having little trouble taking out lowly Orruks. That was until she came face-to-face with [[Kragnos]] himself. The earthquake god had made common cause with Gordrakk and attacked her Shadow Queen form head on. Morathi-Khaine managed to track down [[Lord Kroak]], who had also arrived to defend the city, and proposed that they needed to divert Kragnos from the city before he killed them all, as he was far too powerful for either of them to defeat. Just as Kragnos was preparing to finish Morathi off, they managed to lure Kragnos through a portal and led him away from the city. Without him, the Destruction army was thrown into disarray and subsequently dispersed after a lengthy battle.

Following the battle, Morathi was put on trial, overseen by the Celestant-Prime himself on Sigmar's behalf. She was a little annoyed Sigmar himself was not present (and the not so subtle implication that it meant dealing with her was beneath his time). Morathi was charged with treason for her coup in Anvilgard. She defended her actions by arguing that Anvilgard was technically never Sigmar's alone. She also stated that the city prior to her annexation was barely staying alive to begin with and would have fallen eventually, and that under her rule it was guaranteed to survive outside Chaos control. When the Celestant-Prime rejected this, Morathi retorted that as a god she wasn't answerable to Sigmar. At this, winged Stormcast sprung from ambush and the Celestant-Prime took up Ghal-Maraz and was about to sentence Morathi to death before Grungni entered the room. He announced his presence by calling for clemency for Morathi before joining them. He beseeched both sides to put away their bitterness and pride and realize they were fighting for the Realms' very survival, not simply trivial things like land or cities or petty pride. Though Morathi did not appreciate Grungni's condescending tone, she agreed with his proposals and both she and Celestant-Prime agreed to stand down.
