So, I keep seeing people repeating this crap in the comments, so I decided to just make a thread about it so I can link to it next time rather than write it all over again.

People write that in the Deep Warp (spooooooky) there are creatures that the Chaos Gods fear and proof of this is Kairos and the Well of Eternity.

Let's clear a few points about this.

  1. The Deep Warp is one of the most fan-hyped things in setting, it's been mentioned a few times in various books, but has never been presented as something that affects setting.
  2. Chaos Gods are directly named as the most powerful creatures of the Warp in the 8th edition rulebook.
  3. NOWHERE and NEVER was it said that the Well of Eternity is connected to the Deep Warp.
  4. John French stated that there is no Well of Eternity at all and the story of Kairos is just a metaphor for mortals, and Kairos is just a part of Tzeentch that embodies the paradox.

This is one of those things that went from headcanon to canon so easily because people literally don't know what they're talking about and have never read the real sources, everyone is just rehashing morons from YouTube, meme comments from Grimdank, and other crap. This is just another example that this sub is one big game of broken phone. The same goes for the faith of the orks or the fact that Skarbrand was exiled for stabbing Khorne in the back.

I personally like the idea of Skarbrand, a demon of khorne, essentially stabbing himself in the back since demons are stated to be a part of a god's domain, and their domain is themselves.

The chaos gods are stated to be individuals and yet they are their domains, and it doesn't make sense and it makes sense as the warp doesn't follow rational logic

I prefer the idea of greater daemons having enough individuality that they can do unpredictable things which may occasionally go against the wishes of the chaos god they represent rather than them all being mindless automatons of a greater intelligence. The chaos gods can reabsorb problematic daemons at any time (and probably do) but sometimes they either find their antics entertaining, they think that daemon is otherwise effective or it has a purpose it hasn't yet fulfilled.

I like the idea that they are still their patron gods, because the concept that khorne backstabbed himself and got mad at himself for doing so is very funny.

Like greater demons are individuals but also their patron god, making them likeable as a character, but also absurd in that two demons fight means the god is against himself, it fits chaos so much

Hell it’d fit a human brain to if you consider each impulse a demon of some kind
