First lore preview of the Khazalite tome.

With the new ogors coming with some focus on their religion and Baudrax getting a mention in the 4th edition Khorne battletome after wandering in the wilderness for the past few editions, it might be useful to look back to 1st edition and the story of the Red Hunt of Baudrax the Hunter.

Baudrax was a powerful Khornate warlord who was obsessed with not just collecting the most skulls for Khorne, but also with collecting the biggest skulls. So when he offered to undertake a great hunt to thank the Blood God for granting him a Juggernaut Steed, Khorne sent him after the biggest prey possible.

>Khorne answered his champion's pledge with a powerful vision, hammered like an axeblade into the mind of Baudrax's Slaughterpriest, Marokh Skullsight. The Slaughterpriest ranted of the huntsman Skargut, who bestrode the Savage Steppes deep within the Realm of Beasts. Worshipped by thousands, this apex predator was the prophet of his own crude god, known as the Ravenous One, and loudly decried all other deities as false. Furious, Baudrax swore a mighty oath the Khorne that he would slay this base demagogue and take his skull. (Battletome: Khorne Bloodbound)

After a long journey to the lair of Skargut, battle is joined:

>The skies turned an ominous deep crimson, and blood began to fall from the the skies - a ghastly sign of Khorne's favour that drew howls of exultation from the Red Butchers. From deep beneath the earth, the Ravenous One rumbled in displeasure. [....] [I]n an explosion of blood and gore, Baudrax's and Skargut's warriors slammed together with titanic violence. (Battletome: Khorne Bloodbound)

Baudrax defeats Skargut and takes his skull, but what about the Ravenous One? For confirmation of its fate, we have to go to another of Baudrax's adventures:

>Few foes have escaped Baudrax's relentless pursuits, earning the mantle of the hunter. Legends of Baudrax's hunts are told with wonder and fear by the tribes of men. Grizzled old-beards and battle-scarred veterans speak of the Hundred Leagues Rout, the Flayed Road and the destruction of the Ravenous God, among other gory tales. (Battletome: Dominion of Chaos)

So if the ogors are thinking of having a theological schism, they should probably watch out for a Juggernaut-riding Khornate who would be happy to remove some options.
