Description

  Tzeentch was born out of the first inklings of chaos worshipers desire for a better world and is a manifestation of the hopeful optimism that chaos brings.  His followers are idealists and their god is passionate about change coming to the world.

 

Iconography

  Tzeentch is portrayed in numerous, conflicting ways. Sometimes he looks like a giant worm with two beaked heads. Sometimes he portrayed a man with a raven's head hooded and cloaked, carrying a lantern. In his most enigmatic depictions, he looks like a blank humanoid figure, featureless and masked.

Cult History

  Tzeentchian cults tend to be organized around a cause, they are the schemes of politicians, revolutionaries, freedom fighters, and visionaries. He is worshipped by sorcerers and mages and scholars of all kinds who seek knowledge and the changes it brings. One does not even need to worship Tzeentch or know of his existence to number among his chosen. All those who desire change, are, in some form, a part of his master plan. He is easily the most powerful of the chaos gods, and his desire for change brings with it a kind of cunning that only his brother/sister Slaanesh can match.
