Concept art of Barakus the Godslayer from Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.

Barakus the Godslayer was a mighty Daemon Prince of Khorne who ruled over the Bloodwrought Enclave of the Inevitable City.

History[]

The Chieftain Barakus once prayed to the gods of the Old Faith, but when the gods forsook his people he led them on countless murderous raids. At first the assaults were made in the name of survival, but soon they devolved into massacres for the sake of murder itself. Such was the blood he and his people spilt, that they became known as the Bloodwrought Tribe, and such were the holy grounds they ransacked and seers they slew, that Barakus became known as the Godslayer. Fate caught up with the Bloodwrought Tribe when they reached the Inevitable City. Here they have been trapped for millennia, locked in eternal combat, endlessly spilling each other's blood.[1]

The Bloodwrought Enclave can be found within the Undercroft of the Inevitable City. The screams of pain, shouts of battle, and clash of steel can be heard long before one approaches the enclave's front entrance. War never ends within the Bloodwrought Enclave. Barakus the Godslayer sees to this, for he has ever been a loyal servant of Khorne. Even when he was a mere mortal, Barakus thirsted for spilled blood like a ravening beast, and his hunger for battle was never truly sated. Now he remains within the enclave, eternally at arms.[1]

Though the Inevitable City is ruled over by the followers of Tzeentch, they have been forced to entertain the blood-stained Skull Lord and his brutal worshippers for fear of losing his support. However, the Blood God is not satisfied with the Bloodwrought Enclave alone, for he wants the whole of the city, and he means to take it from Tchar'zanek when the time is right. Indeed, Barakus and the Bloodwrought Tribe threaten to find their way into the Raven Host and then back into the mortal world.[1]
