Most Chaos Monoliths are constructed from stone, hence the name. However, they may also be constructed from ancient timber, metal and other even more exotic substances - such as bone, gems and flesh. The Chaos Dwarfs of Zorn Uzkal are said to cast monoliths from solid brass, polishing them to a mirror finish. Such sheen is said to reflect the savage countenance of the Champion the monolith commemorates, rather than the onlooker.

| - Most Chaos Monoliths are constructed from stone, hence the name. However, they may also be constructed from ancient timber, metal and other even more exotic substances - such as bone, gems and flesh. The Chaos Dwarfs of Zorn Uzkal are said to cast monoliths from solid brass, polishing them to a mirror finish. Such sheen is said to reflect the savage countenance of the Champion the monolith commemorates, rather than the onlooker. The monoliths are constructed for various reasons, such as to mark tribal territory, but their primary purpose is to commemorate a warrior who has been rewarded with the ultimate gift of daemonic immortality. The monolith stands at the point where he ascended to stand at the right hand of the gods and bears the saga of his life writ upon it in the harsh runes of the Dark Tongue. Such monoliths are usually also wrought with the runes of the newly born demon and his patron god(s). Both are said to watch over the monoliths dedicated to them, protecting them from the decay of the ages.
