In Warhammer Age of Sigmar, battles are not just between armies and generals – the entire cosmos is shaped by gods and ancient beings. The eight Realms (Shyish, Aqshy, Ghyran, Hysh, Chamon, Ulgu, Ghur, and Azyr) are dominated by powerful deities who govern their followers, pursue their agendas, and influence every conflict. Here are the most central gods shaping the world of Age of Sigmar.
Sigmar – God of Storms
Sigmar is the foremost god of Age of Sigmar and the creator of the Stormcast Eternals. From his throne in Azyr, he leads the fight against Chaos and represents hope, order, and the survival of humanity.
Nagash – Lord of the Undead
Nagash is the god of death and ruler of Shyish, the Realm of Death. His goal is to control all life and turn the entire cosmos into an undead army under his will. He is both feared and hated, but also respected for his power.
The Chaos Gods – Eternal Enemies
The four great Chaos Gods always have a firm grip on the Realms:
-
Khorne – the god of blood and war.
-
Tzeentch – the god of change and magic.
-
Nurgle – the god of decay and disease.
-
Slaanesh – the god of excess, desire, and pleasure.
Their servants constantly threaten the balance of the Realms and are the primary adversaries of Sigmar and the other gods.
Alarielle – Queen of Nature
Alarielle is the goddess of life and ruler of Ghyran, the Realm of Life. She is an ancient and powerful force of nature who leads the Sylvaneth in the fight against destruction and chaos.
Gorkamorka – God of the Orruks
A dual nature of both brutal strength and cunning. Gorkamorka is the god of orruks, grots, and all green hordes who spread chaos and violence in the Realms. His followers live for battle and embody pure anarchy.
Summary
The eight Realms in Age of Sigmar are shaped as much by gods as by mortals and heroes. Sigmar and Alarielle represent order and life, while Nagash and the Chaos Gods threaten all living things. The constant conflicts of these gods create the epic backdrop that makes Age of Sigmar more than just a game – it is a living mythology.
