As I scroll through warhammer lore videos, i keep seeing referance to a 5th chaos god existing. Im not talking about the one in legal limbo, but i do see three characters mentioned as if they already hold the position; The Dark King, Vashtor and the Greater Good. Have any of these charachters (entities really) achieved that throne or are people just trying to incept their fan ficton into reality?
In really old Warhammer lore there is a fifth god of Chaos called Malaal. His deal is that he’s the god of rebellion. Basically the embodiment of “Fuck the police.” In fact he rebels so much that he rebels against the other Chaos gods and spends a lot of time fucking their shit up.
For copyright reasons, they can’t use the name Malaal anymore, but other gods based on Malaal have appeared at various points in the lore. Depending on the era of Warhammer lore there are generally considered to be multiple minor Chaos gods, while the big four are just the major ones. This comes up in Dark Heresy and WFRP, if I’m remembering right.
