Valkia The Bloody

Valkia the Bloody, known also as the "Gorequeen," the "Valkyrie," the "Bringer of Glory," the "Sword-Maiden of the Blood God," and the "Dread-Consort of Khorne," is a Daemon Princess of Khorne. She is charged by her Chaos God to bear the worthy warriors of Norsca, and beyond, who die honourable deaths in battle to fight on in Khorne's hall in the Realm of Chaos for all eternity. Once a fell chieftain and warrior-queen of the Norscan tribe known as the Schwarzvolf, Valkia rose in the Blood God's esteem by leading her warriors to vanquish tribes dedicated to the other Chaos Gods, and by slaying any who questioned her right to rule.

When the Daemon Prince of Slaanesh known as Locephax came into her hall, intrigued by her feral beauty, and commanded her to leave her throne and join him as a slave girl, the warrior-queen took up her great spear, Slaupnir, and in a berserk rage, slew the Daemon and swore that she would lay its head at the base of Khorne's Skull Throne in the Blood God's Domain. Though she died on the journey, Khorne was impressed with her devotion. From death he elevated her to daemonhood as his Daemon Princess.

Charged with descending onto the battlefield to choose those worthy warriors of Norsca who will fight on in the Halls of the Blood God for all eternity after their deaths, Valkia has served her dark master well for uncounted centuries. She descends upon the field of glory, her armour drenched in blood and rays of light shining from her spear. The warriors of Norsca who praise mighty Khorne -- which is to say, many of them -- redouble their efforts in her presence, knowing that the Blood-Father despises cowards and will strike down those who flee or show weakness. And also that to gain the prize of fighting on in his hall for all time and becoming his Chosen is a prize beyond all measure.

Despite her demonic appearance, she still looks beautiful. A luxurious body, athletically complex and at the same time seductive. Long black hair, red eyes, powerful wings behind her back and horns crowning her head. Once her warband arrived in the lands of the Schwarzvolf she mercilessly killed all of her former people, butchering them to the last man, woman and child and feasting upon their flesh. At the climax of the assault, Valkia came to blows with her only living daughter, Eris, who had outlived her twin sister Bellona to replace her mother as the chieftain of the Schwarzvolf. Eris resembled greatly her mother when she had still been a mere mortal. But the fate of the battle was never far from doubt, and with a single swift thrust of her clawed hand, she ripped her heart out, the young woman gurgling blood as she gave her last dying breath to protect her people.[3q]

Yet the last to die by Valkia's hands was her own half-brother, Edan, the last of her family line, who had become the tribe's "godspeaker" or shaman. Edan had long plotted to seize control of the tribe from his nieces and had manipulated Eris into slowly transforming the tribe into one whose lifestyle was more sedentary and who worshipped other Chaos Gods besides Khorne, especially Slaanesh, who had become Edan's own preferred patron.

Long before, Edan had once looked up to his elder sister, but when he came before Valkia this one last time, he knew that his death had come and he was at peace. Holding out one outstretched hand to the sister he had once known, Valkia did not even hesitate and ruthlessly ripped Edan's head from his body. Her vengeance at last complete, she allowed her berserker army to kill all the men, women and children that remained. In this way, Valkia finally severed all the remaining ties to her mortal life and fully embraced her new role as the embodied instrument of the Blood God's dark will Despite her demonic appearance, she still looks beautiful. A luxurious body, athletically complex and at the same time seductive. Long black hair, red eyes, powerful wings behind her back and horns crowning her head.
