The Gorehunt Tribe was a tribe of Norscans devoted to Khorne, the Chaos God of war and murder. They were ultimately destroyed after a battle with the armies of Araby in 2103 IC.[1a]
History[]
In late 2103 IC, the Gorehunt Tribe resolved to offer skulls from far-off lands to the Blood God Khorne, and took to the seas in their longships. Heading south, they eventually came across the desert realm of Araby, though the Northmen numbered less than a hundred and the armies of Araby were many thousands strong, the warriors of chaos carved a path of conquest across the land. The emirs of those far-off kingdoms sent sentient winds and fiery spirits, but to their despair, the followers of Khorne grew more determined with every battle.[1a]
The trail that the invaders hacked through the armies sent to oppose them was marked with spatters and pools of blood that, as the days of battle grew long, ran together between the dunes as rivulets of crimson. The emirs sent their elite bodyguards and cavalry regiments against the indomitable footsoldiers of the Chaos Warriors, but to no avail. The Norscans fought with a berserk fury, and soon the rivulets became a stream.[1a]
In desperation, the emirs sent gigantic beasts of war and armies that hid the dunes with their number. It was not long before the stream had become a river though every one of the Northmen was eventually killed, their master Khorne was truly pleased, and the crimson river flows through Araby to this day in testament to their sacrifice.[1a]
