Editing Warriors of Chaos (section)

===The Kurgan Tribes===

The Kurgans are nomadic horsemen who reside in the Eastern Steppes, distantly related to the Ungol and Gospodar peoples of Kislev (this shows in them calling their tribal chieftains "zar"). They are divided into many different tribes, but thousands of years ago they were briefly united into a mighty empire lead by the Great Kurgan. This empire lasted only a short time before tearing itself apart in infighting, as the Great Kurgan offered his four sons to the Chaos Gods thus leaving no heirs behind.

The Kurgans are notorious slavers, and often force their slaves to fight each other in dueling pits. However, they grant increasing freedoms and status as they win fights, eventually allowing the slave to become a full-fledged member of the tribe. In fact, it is not unknown for former slaves to rise to the rank of Zar.

Despite having the largest territory and being said to be the most numerous members of Chaos' mortal forces, they are generally sidelined in favour of Norscans (chalk it up to Old World bias).

*'''Khazags''': They're known as the guys who had first tamed the War Mammoths. Actually refused to worship Chaos until a single evil member of the tribe conquered them and enslaved the giant mammoth they worshipped as their deity. [[Games Workshop|Creatively named after Kazakh nation.]]
*'''Dolgans''': [[That Guy|That Guys]] of Kurgan. They hate every other Chaos-affiliated tribe as much as the southerners and prefer to kill everyone who isn't Dolgan on sight. Some of them, thankfully, managed to avoid the Gods' corruption and now live in [[Kislev]], though their population is declining.
*'''[[Space Wolves|Iron Wolves]]''': An interesting tribe, because it's only partially Kurgan. These furries also have a Norse ancestry, descending from the vikings whose asses were kicked by [[Sigmar]] so hard they had to run to the [[Eastern Steppes]]. They are resented by both ancestral tribes and generally think of themselves as independent people.
*'''[[Asavar Kul|Kul]]''': Yeah, those Kul. They're probably the strongest Kurgan tribe that constantly raids the shit out of the neighbours and have a well-developed slavery system. They're also interesting for their complicated religious views, as they do not swear themselves to one of [[Chaos Gods|four major Gods]], instead [[Chaos Undivided|praying to hundred gods and seeking the favor of all of them.]] [[Black Legion|So, pretty much these guys.]] [[Asavar Kul]], Zar of the Kul, was the twelfth Everchosen of Chaos who fought during the [[Great War Against Chaos]] leading the Chaos forces. After Asavar died, his successor was usurped and murdered by [[Vardek Crom]], who is the current Zar.
*'''Tahmaks''', '''Tokmars''', '''Yusak''' etc.: really minor tribes that are barely mentioned in the lore.
