Warlord Tchar’zanek

Warlord Tchar’zanek is a mighty Champion of Tzeentch, and leader of the Chaos warhost and the elite Raven Host, which is invading the Empire. His origins are shrouded in mystery.

Overview

As a Chosen Champion of Tzeentch, Tchar’zanek is a much more subtle warlord than many of the Chaos Champions who have come before him. Strategically, he relies upon psychological warfare and targeted attacks on civilian populations to demoralize the enemy, disrupt their supply chain, and disguise his true intent. To accomplish his goals in Ostland, the Raven God’s Champion will turn to the methods he knows best: corrupt the strong, destroy the weak, and sow the fields of battle with terror until no resistance remains. In the woods and dales of Ostland, the enemy infiltrates and raids, striking at random, sacking farms and villages without warning and leaving just enough alive to spread the panic they carry. In the cities and towns, Tzeentch’s subtle minions twist the minds of men, raising up cults and converting secret sympathizers to their unholy cause.

As part of his command strategy, Tchar’zanek has created an elite force within his army which acts independently of the main body of the army, bent on a secret mission of which the actual invasion is a mere cover or gambit for. In Ostland, this Raven Host is dispatched behind enemy lines, to find “four forgotten relics of power that holds the key to Tchar’zanek’s master plan.” In the Troll Country, the Raven Host are also called upon to block the investigations of the Order of the Griffon into the origins of the plague, and to seek out “an ancient artifact of great power that can be found there, in the possession of a particularly ill-tempered Chaos Troll. 

To what purpose Tchar’zanek seeks to put these artifacts to use, and what they might have to do with the mysterious Chaos Troll that saps the strength of the Empire, no mortal man knows. For Tchar’zanek is a Champion of Tzeentch, and the mind of the Changer of Ways sees all paths of the future.
