Fanprojekt: Der Tempel des Khaine Armeeliste [Deutsch]

Hag Queens are the oldest, and most powerful Which Elves in Nagaroth. They also lead the cult of the Bloody handed good. The head of the cult is Crone Helleborn of Ghrond -the North Tower. She is the oldest one of the Hag Queens- and the most powerful. Each Shrine of Khaine has it's Exalted Mother, Keeper of Cauldron, Guardian of Altar or as known by Elves of Uthulan Hag Queen. Therefore there is 6 known Hag Queens: Crone Helleborn of Ghrond, Vandess of Har Ganeth,
Nephli the Sea Witch of Clar Carond, Seraphine the Shadow of Hag Graef, Gorgatha of Karond Kar and Hag Sorceress Morathi. Helleborn and Morathi both hate each other. Even though Crone is official head of the cult, Morathi is the Oldest Dark Elf in Nagaroth- and respect to her must be paid. Hag Sorceress has great power, and she often is more respected than Crone. Lady of Ghrond also is jealous of Morathi's beauty- when she have to take a blood bath more often than once a year to regain her beauty- the sorceress witch almost never uses the Cauldron. Helleborn also despises Morathi's association with the cult of pleasure (Slaanesh)- which as she sees it is a betrayal of the Khaine. All Hag Queens rivalize for power, and all hate each other. Sadly cannot fight openly, because they know that it would cause the end of the cult. Instead of duels, they use their assassins, and intrigues to kill, discredit or push aside the each other. Each of the mighty Hag Queens have a troupe of her pupils- the lesser Hag Queens also called the Chosen Brides, from which one would be chosen when the time will come to take their place. In the meantime they use the young Witches as executers of their will.
The Six Sisters of Darkness (as they also are called) rarely leave the Shrines and go to battle. Instead they send Hag Queens loyal to them instead. Once a year (usually last day of the year) the Six Hag Queens meet secretly together in the place called The Bare Mountain. This desolated place lies somewhere in Iron Mountains, but it's location is kept secret. There Hag Queens talk about the problems of the Cult, plan the things to do the next year, and worship Khaine. This day they put aside all hate and animosity, and its said that they give themselves to Khaine. As the legend say, Bloody Handed God himself appears in the Iron Mountains to take part in the orgy on the Bare Mountain.

Nephli, better known as the Sea Witch is Hag queen of Clar Karond. Usually her chamber in the Shrine of Khaine is empty, because she prefers more the open sea than the City walls. She is known to many sailors of the old world as a evil omen. When they see her shadow flying through the air, they turn around their ships. Not only this is a sign of Dark Elf fleet, but also a messenger of storm. She mastered the art of controlling the winds, and using them for her own purpose. Often she likes to play trick on the sailors directing the winds to bring a ships to drift, or summoning gigantic storms.

Seraphine is the youngest of the six Hag Queens. She became the Exalted Mother of Hag Graef recently, when former queen was assassinated. It was probably because Leuphritia (that was her name) was loyal to Mistress Helleborn. Some even say that those two were unholy lovers. Seraphine was young and talented Chosen Bride was put on her place by Morathi. The second day she took over the position as the one of Six she broke contact with the Hag Sorceress becoming fully independent. Seraphine is beautiful, and smart. She proven her wits many times escaping the assassins, or dealing with difficult tasks while in service of Morathi. She is called Shadow of Hag Graef because nobody knows when or where she will appear. She likes to hunt down her enemies, chasing them on the streets of the city, and playing with their fear to finally kill them without hesitation. She very rarely uses assasins, she likes to take care of her business personally. She always wears a cloak over her shoulders.

Gorgotha is most bizarre of the Six Hag Queens. The legend says that she in the old days committed some terrible sin against Khaine.God in anger cursed her. Now instead of hair on her head, she have snakes. Her skin is grey, and her bloody red eyes can turn one into stone. Only the blood of young Elves can restore her to her beauty- sadly only for few hours, after which she changes again into a monster. She is one of the most feared Hag Queens no one even dares to mention her name in conversation. She herself rarely leaves the main chamber of Shrine of Karond Kar where she is surrounded by young slaves and servants. She tries to stay away from the ongoing quiet battle between Six Hag Queens (especially from the constant quarrel between Morathi and Helleborn) and politics. If she appears on the battlefield, it means that something really important is happening.
Everywhere in the shrine and all around it one can see stone statues. Those are the unfortunate ones who dared to look Gorgotha in the eyes. Dark Elves fer her more than the rest of the Hag Queens altogether. However they rarely have chance to see her or hear about her- therefore often she's treated as a myth or legend.

Har Ganeth is an extremely large city, with a population that is almost as large as Naggarond. Of all the Dark Elf cities, Har Ganeth has the most developed economy. It almost has a complete monopoly over the slave and iron trades. The nobility of Har Ganeth is extremely wealthy as are the countless merchant princes that reside here.

Har Ganeth is known as the City of Executioners and it is here that the most feared warriors in all of Naggaroth reside. Their official role is that of warden, to protect the Temple of Khaine from all invaders. In fact the Executioners rule the city almost completely, taking out their wrath on commoner and nobleman alike.
The Executioners have a horrible reputation, gained during a failed High Elf raid many centuries ago. The High Elves thought Har Ganeth an easy target and so invaded it. Almost none of them survived the raid. Many thousands were taken captive and slain in the worst massacre ever record in the history of any race. The streets became red rivers, as Dark Elves splashed joyfully in the blood of their hated foes. The Executioners used their cruel axes to maim, cut and behead the captives, celebrating an orgy of depravity. The streets are still stained red to this day. No High Elf army will invade Har Ganeth ever again, their fear of that place is so strong.

The most noticeable feature in Har Ganeth is the great Temple of Khaine. It gets its name from the deep red stains that cover every part of the temple. It was this temple that was the sight of the bloodiest event in all of history, the massacre of Har Ganeth.
The temple is ruled by Vandess, the most powerful Hag Queen of Har Ganeth. She led the Witch Elves during the slaughter, gorging herself on the blood and flesh of hundreds of High Elves. Vandess admires Ruerl's depravity and has supported his rule since Har Ganeth was established many years ago. They even have a son together, the great Captain of the Executioners, Tullaris.

The centre of the city is dominated by two structures: the hideous Temple of Khaine and the palace of the Dark Lord Ruerl. Those two structures are where all of the power in Har Ganeth resides.
The docks are located in the southern portion of the city. This area of the city is bustling with trade. Slaves are penned in huge cages, waiting to be sent to the far corners of Naggaroth and their dooms. Iron and rocks from Hag Graef are stationed aboard sleek Reavers. The merchant princes of Har Ganeth grow richer every day, as slaves and iron for weapons are the cornerstone of the Dark Elf economy.

The army of Har Ganeth is huge and powerful. A legion of dreaded Executioners await any chance at war, their sharp axes ready to maim and kill. Thousands of Witch Elves from the Crimson Palace are ready to kill. The Warriors of the City of Executioners are many. Almost any type of troop is available and ready for war.
