Valkia the Bloody

Valkia the Bloody, known also the Gorequeen, the Bringer of Glory, and the Sword-Maiden of the Blood God is a dread Daemon Prince of Khorne, who is charged by her god to bear the worthy warriors of Norsca and beyond who die honourable deaths in battle to fight on in Khorne's hall for all eternity. Once a fell warrior-queen of a Norse tribe dedicated to Khorne, Valkia rose in the Blood God's esteem by leading her warriors to vanquish the other tribes dedicated to the other Chaos Gods and by slaying any who questioned her right to rule.

When a Daemon Prince of Slaanesh came into her hall, intrigued by her feral beauty, and commanded her to leave her rulership and join him as a slave girl, the warrior-queen took up her great spear, Slaupnir, and flew into the berserker rage. The daemon and the mortal shield-maiden dueled for many days, until Valkia triumphed by skewering the Daemon Prince's head off. Affixing it to her shield, she left her tribe and traveled north to Chaos Wastes. Though she fought with all the savagery and bravery the Norse were famed for, not even a warrior so high in Khorne's favour as Valkia could withstand the full horrors of the Chaos Wastes alone. Though she died on the way, Khorne was sufficiently impressed with her skill and devotion and his bellows of rage woke her from death with the Dark Apotheosis of daemonhood. Now, Valkia descends every dawn from her master's side to reap yet more skulls for her masters and choose the warriors of the North who will fight on in the Realm of the Gods after their death
