Title: Question RE the laughing god...
Post by: purple psyker on February 9, 2002, 08:17:09 PM
Now khaine is the god of murder/combat, right. the Avatar is abit of a close combat tank when all's said and done. Aspect warriors follow Khaines beliefs embodying Khains different aspects as a warrior and death bringer.

Then Ynnead is the supposed god of the dead, because he/she/it is being formed from the souls of dead Eldar. And Eldar generally see Ynnead as being the salvation of the eldar, Yes?

Now, the laughing god is the patron god of the harliquins but what does he/she/it subscribe to? What is the laughing gods sphere (to use a D&D ism)? Does he/she/it embody angry artists on pcp or what? I understand that tlg hates chaos an all that but what other role does tlg fill?

BTW whats the deal with Cregorach? If the harli's are masters of all things webway why haven't they found him/her and administered a stern reprimand and a harsh beating for abandoning the eldar in their time of need.

BAM!

Cegorach/The Great Harlequin/The laughing god are all the same.

 If you believe that, then show some proof!  I've never seen it anywhere that they are the same.

Here's some quick history of the laughing god from the 2nd Ed. Codex. pg 13 column one, paragraph 5.

The story goes that once the Chaos God Slaanesh had destroyed the other Eldar gods the fought with Kaela Mensha Khaine, the Bloody-handed War God of the Eldar.  But the Laughing God hid behind Kaela Mensha Khaine, and be means of trickery and adriotness managed to avoid the gaze of Slaanesh.  When the two struggling gods retired exhausted, the Bloody-handed God inot the material universe in his Avatar forms, and Slannesh into the orbit of the Chaos Gods, the Great Harlequin God escaped into the Webway and hid amongst its myriad tunnels.  He lives there still, laughing at the gods of Chaos, emerging secretly to play his deadly tricks upon them or make his sercret plans.  He cannot be caught, for he is too fast and subtle, and he knows all the secrets of the webway.
