Lore – who are the Daughters of Khaine?
When the world was shattered after The End Times, the dark Aelven goddess Morathi gathered surviving followers of Khaine. She declared herself his high priestess and forged a fanatical cult built on blood sacrifices, combat, and dark rituals.
The Daughters of Khaine consist of various warrior sisters and monstrous creatures:
-
Witch Aelves – fanatical blood priests armed with blades.
-
Sisters of Slaughter – deeply fanatical warriors who use whips and acrobatics.
-
Melusai – serpentine Aelves with deadly bows or swords.
-
Khinerai – flying harpy-like assassins.
Under Morathi's leadership, they are not just an army – they are a cult that thrives on blood and death.
