| - Khaine (Eltharin: Khaela Mensha Khaine — Khaine the Bloody Handed) is the elven god of war. He is the god of death, both in righteous war and senseless slaughter.

- Kaela Mensha Khaine (lit. Khaine the Bloody Handed) is the Eldar war god, the representation of their battle-thirst and rage taken to extremes. He is thought to be one of the Old Ones or a weapon of their design, remaining to guide and aid the Eldar long after the Old Ones' civilization perished. Khaine is one of the main deities of the Eldar mythic cycles and features in many stories. During the Fall of the Eldar, when Slaanesh slew their gods, Khaine endured destruction but was shattered into a thousand shards, each of which took root in the heart of one of the Craftworlds. To this day, the immense iron statues known as the Avatars of Khaine remain within the Shrine in the heart of each Craftworld, and through sacrifice they may be woken and march at the head of the Eldar armies into bat
- Kháine is the dread Lord of Murder - the patron of assassins and murderers. It is said that he is jealous of his elder brother Mórr's rulership over the world of the dead and that he steals the souls of those murdered and sacrificed in his name, building his own dark realm. He is portrayed as a grotesque, squatting being with a huge, leering, fanged mouth and four arms, each holding a dagger. His cult is outlawed throughout the Old World and his name is generally only used in curses. There are secret cults of Kháine active deep in the underworlds of many Old World cities, with hidden temples where Human victims are offered up in obscene rituals.

His cult is outlawed throughout the Old World and his name is generally only used in curses. There are secret cults of Kháine active deep in the underworlds of many Old World cities, with hidden temples where Human victims are offered up in obscene rituals. The worship of Kháine is proscribed throughout The Empire and he is only worshipped secretly by murderers and cut-throats. There are secret cults worshipping the Lord of Murder in some of The Empire's larger towns and cities, but they seldom act openly and are ruthlessly surpressed by the authorities. Nevertheless, it must be said that in certain cities officials who act with conspicuous zeal in this suppression are sometimes found dead, often murdered in their beds while their spouses slept on, undisturbed. Kháine's colours are black and red, symbolising night, death, and blood. His symbols, a scorpion and a wavy-bladed dagger, are seldom displayed openly, but may sometimes be worn by his more devoted followers, worked subtly into the design of a piece of jewellery or the ornamentation on a weapon.
