Bloodlust without discipline, scheming without knowledge, rot without rebirth, and excess without pleasure. He embodies the dregs of the aspects of each of the four greater gods of Chaos. My theory is that the Great Horned Rat is the chaos god of chaos, for want of a better term. The Skaven are said to be the Horned Rat's Children, implying they did not spawn him. The Great Horned Rat's daemons seem to be, at least in many cases, closer to daemon princes from the perspective of other gods, being ascended Skaven. It seems like an entire race was born to perpetuate the existence of a god that holds domain over only them. The Skaven supposedly came to be when a mysterious figure built a bell tower for a city of men and dwarfs in the old world, and when the tower was completed, it tolled thirteen times and the Skaven were born within the bowels of the city. A race that he seemingly has complete and total control over, and whose origins are bizarre to say the least. The Great Horned Rat, however is the god of. They corrupt and mutate mortals to become their followers and tools, and each has a particular conceptual domain. The others are spawned and maintained by mortals, willingly or not. It struck me that the Great Horned Rat is kind of an outlier amongst the chaos gods. You may transcribe the text, however, and we request that you cite the book it came from.
