Yea the story isn't resolved In forbidden power, it's gonna continue, my money is 100% on Be'lakor anyone else got any idea who this old Ally could be?

 

 And gods are more abstract they are like a collection of energy able to move and change, as such all of them has to be destroyed for them to truely die. eg as long as there is urgold Grimnir still exists as that is what his energy has coalesced into 

How is Be'lakor an old ally of Nagash?

It seems clear that aside from the eight gods (maybe nine, depending on how Teclis is counted) of the Realms and the gods of Chaos, there are, or at least at some point where, possibly countless lesser gods in the Mortal Realms.

Sadly we only have bits and pieces about them.

We know from the lore on the gods of Death that for the most part these are raised through belief. This does pose an interesting question to cases such as Morrda. Are gods that resemble or are even identical with gods from the world that was survivors, where they ressurected or are they completely new beings produced by the belief of survivor from the world-that-was? Whichever it is, it doesn't seem to work for the original aelven deities, seeing how Mathlann and Khaine remain dead despite a strong base of worshipper. In Khaines case that might be because of Morathi, but Mathlann is deader than dead as the Idoneth aknowledge.

We know there where a lot of minor Death gods and Nagash killed and absorbed most of them. We also know other minor gods where around. In some cases godsbeasts are acual gods as well (like Dracothion). It was never stated outright, but imo it's implied that at least some of the great monsters slain by Sigmar, Grimnir and Gorkamorka in the age of myths might have been less pleasant gods.

Most minor gods are propably gone after the age of Chaos, but at least a few might still be around.

I guess they can be ressurected. The Hedonites Battletome has an interesting tidbit about a Pretender Keeper of Slaanesh trying to ressurect and wed a dead Godess of Plenty to spawn demigods.

. Anyone know more about these minor deities in lore?

In Souls war from J Reynolds there’s a good description of minor deities including the myth of a cat queen spirit that reincarnates or something like that.

From the malign portents we know that there were many Death minor gods absorbed by Nagash and at least one was hidden until a Stormcast brought Nagash right at his doorstep

What is OC?

This forum super needs a mouseover function for all those darn abbreviations and cute-isms people like to use. Folks! Spell it out with first use, then abbreviate in subsequent uses in that post! It's a basic rule of good writing for communication.

Perhaps if the Idoneth actually believed that Mathlann was still a live God, then that belief would become self-fulfilling.  As it is, he remains dead because they believe he is dead.  Belief can work both ways.  I don't think that the main Gods - those that are the embodiment of a Realm - require belief from mortals for their existence, although their strength may wax and wane accordingly.

Yeah a few people managed to buy it and are leaking it, some Sylvaneth Facebook groups are breaking down all the changes from the battletome 

Not sure if GW will crack down and remove the download soon though 

It’s already gone from the store.

Hopefully! Be great for AoS to get back on Battletome Track!

Also considering all the contrast paint update this week I'm guessing we'll see them up for preorder this weekend so that they'd basically go on sale right at the start of June.

My guess is contrast paints, Generals handbook and hopefully sylvaneth stuff in the first few weeks of June. 40k stuff for the last part of June,  beginning of July followed by Warcry to kick off a great summer
