Bah! Your pathetic mortal armour cannot protect you from my rage! Astartes or no, all enemies of Knorne shall feel my wrath!

- OOC -

I've come up with very basic lore for my Herald and will continue on it more:

Kar'Dravo is part of a group of Bloodletters who are relatively small in size, but pride themselves for being stronger than most others.

Their group is made up of 100 Bloodletter "Reapers," each of them are very skilled in combat and are mostly superior to standard lesser daemons. They are led by a "Reaper Herald," who commands them (Kar'Dravo is the current Reaper Herald.) The way in which a Herald is selected is entirely determined by the blade that Kar'Dravo currently holds (I will rename it the "Blade of Reaping".) He who holds the blade is the new Reaper Herald, and if the current Herald loses it to another Bloodletter Reaper, he is consumed into the Blade of Reaping and the new wielder becomes the new Herald. The only rules are that the Blade must be claimed in a one on one duel, and only another Bloodletter Reaper may take the Blade, if the Herald is defeated in any other way the other Bloodletters are honour bound to return it to him.

There are also a few "Chosen Reapers," or just "Reapers." These are always picked from the rank of Khorne Berserkers and are gifted with Hellblades and the mark of the Reapers. These chosen warriros may stay with their respective legions but a few may form Reaper Squads of 10+, ready to serve the Reaper Herald when he calls for them.

There are currently 63 Chosen Reapers and 30 of those are members of Reaper Squads.

Trivia:

- The current 10 Bloodletters that are with Kar'Dravo are all Bloodletter Reapers

- Most of the Bloodletters summoned through the campaign will only be normal Bloodletters, the Reapers are legendary and attract more than their own ranks to battle.

- All but 4 current Bloodletter Reapers were created as Reapers, every time a Herald is chosen a new Reaper is recruited from the ranks of Bloodletter Champions.

- Every Reaper has the same first section to their name, Kar' is always the first part of their names, new Bloodletter recruits are given it in front of their exsisting name.

- There have been 5 Heralds so far, Kar'Krus, Kar'Neth, Kar'Kahn, Kar'Ves and Kar'Dravo in that order, the first 4 reside in the Blade if Reaping, the latter holds the blade as Herald of the Reapers.
