Default Greater Daemon problem

Now please don`t laugh but i seriously can`t make it out, why isn`t the Tzeench daermon called the Keeper of Secrets, since that`s what Tzeench promises, untold, forbbiden knowledge.

I know Tzeench is also known as the changer of ways, but in 40k fluff for the most part his bribe of choice is knowledge, not change. Change coms from serving any of the chaos gods, actually it generally comes from warp contact as a whole.


Look at Magnus and Ahriman and the Thousand Sons and some of the other primarches Tzeench sneakishly messed with. He used knowledge to corrupt them.

In fluff, the Tzeench cults that suply the thousand sons focus on relics and spells and arcane knowledge and psykers and that

Ahriman`s main purpose in life is getting to read everything within the Black Library (such a book worm).

Dunno, the more i look at it, the more i feel the title "Keeper of Secrets" better suits something tzeenchy


But then again, maybe the other names that they came up with for a slaaneshi demon were too.... slaaneshi to make the final cut

Maybe they couldn't call the Slaanesh Daemon the Great Seducer or something...

maybe, but then again, there's probably a good reason why we aren't on GW's product design or marketting teams.

I imagine they could be persuaded if changing the names took no effort or cost whatsoever.

well in the fluff its is known that Slaanesh knows all of your darkest secrets and desires i think that is why he/she is called the Keeper of Secrets. Though you did raise a good point about The Changer Of Ways, i think they thought mostly that Tzeentch changes his worshippers more than other gods do (mentally as well as physically). Nurgle turns you into walking Puke which is all Physical and Khorne turns you into a Mental killing machine which is more mental. Slaanesh is more mental change into a deranged Paedophile/pervert only seeking pleasure. Whereas Tzeentch does both to the same degree.

Thats my Two cents.
