- Titolo: Dio dell'Inganno - Dio dei Ladri Allineamento : Caotico Neutrale Classe : Ladri Razza : Umani Seguaci: Ladri e furfanti. Sacerdozio: Non esiste ufficialmente, ma esiste una associazione dei fedeli di Ranald. Ogni ladro affiliato all'associazione deve dare il 10% del suo bottino alla chiesa. Domini da Chierico: Inganno, Aria - Nota: tutti i chierici di Ranald hanno almeno un livello da ladro Templi: Altari dedicati a Ranald sono comuni nei covi dei banditi, portano fortuna. Descrizione: Ranald è descritto come il dio della furbizia, della fortuna, dei commercianti, dei ladri, degli scommettitori, dei criminali non violenti, e di tutti coloro che vivono grazie alla loro astuzia. E' una divinità molto popolare sebbene manchi una diffusione ufficiale del culto, che è in genere disapprovato dall'autorità. Essendo un dio criminale e disonesto, Ranald si oppone all'autorità tradizionale, alla legge e tenta di sovvertire l'ordine sociale. E' ritratto come un avventuriero affascinante con un sorriso maligno, sempre pronto a trarre vantaggio dalla situazione. Diversamente da molti altri dei di Warhammer, Ranald è descritto come un dio che può intervenire nella vita della gente, nel bene e nel male. Un altro tratto inusuale per l'ambientazione è che Ranald viene descritto come una divinità non violenta che trova disgustosi l'assassinio e l'aggressione. I simboli di Ranald sono due dita incrociate, la X, il corvo, il gatto e altri simboli di fortuna. Chiunque desideri il favore di Ranald, ovvero la buona sorte, dovrebbe indossare abiti con uuna X sopra, e ciò è così comune da non essere una cosa sospetta.

- Part of Ranald’s curious nature stems from the fact that this God has a several different aspects. To most, he is known as the Night Prowler, God of Thieves and patron of thieves and rogues. Venerated by the criminal elements in the Old World, his symbols and sayings serve as the foundation for much of the secret language used by thieves.[1a] Ranald is also the Deceiver, watching over, or rather inspiring, charlatans and tricksters. In this way, Ranald is something of a force of nature, the personification of irony but also illusion — hence Ranald’s appeal to Grey Wizards. As well, Ranald is the patron of gaming, gambling, and more than anything, luck. It is in this form that Ranald is upheld by the Empire folk and to curry favour with the God, Old Worlders employ a dizzying array of superstitious sayings and gestures to ensure they retain or acquire the God’s attention.[1a] Of all the forms Ranald assumes, though, none is more brutally oppressed than his role as the Protector. The symbol of freedom from tyranny, liberation from despots, and the symbol of revolution, this aspect of Ranald is embraced by agitators, demagogues, and even a few politicians. In fact, Ranald in this role is a rallying force for the democratic movement that persists in the Empire’s largest cities.[1a]

The perfect crime in his eyes is the crime which leaves no trace and which is only discovered weeks or months later. Ranald has four aspects: Ranald the Night Prowler, the patron of Thieves and other Rogues; Ranald the Deceiver, the patron of Tricksters, Charlatans, and, by implication, Illusionists; Ranald the Gamester, the patron of gambling and luck; and Ranald the Protector, who protects his worshippers from official interference, oppression, and tyranny.
- Ranald was a young officer in the army of Araluen at the time of the second war against Morgarath.
