"For ten thousand years, the Imperium's cries for false justice been absorbed and unheard by the wallowing sorrows of the vermin that live in their blasphemed Hive cities. For ten thousand years, the blind men of the Astra Militarum have been used as toys to protect those same worlds! For ten thousand years, the crippled brethren of the Adeptus Astartes have launched crusade after crusade against foes that waste the potential for grace in the eye of the Blood God! FOR TEN THOUSAND YEARS, THE AGONIZING SCREAMS OF CHAOS HAVE BEEN HEARD ACROSS THE GALAXY, BRINGING AN AGE OF TERROR TO ALL WHO DARE SPEAK AGAINST THE WILL OF THE LORD OF SKULLS! THE HIVE CITIZEN, THE GUARDSMAN, THE MARINE. THEY HAVE ALL FELT THE IRON GRASP OF BLOODY SENSATION! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! THE GALAXY SHALL BURN BEFORE THE END OF HIM!"

- Illiath, Chaotic Khornate Warlord of the Malignant Spirits, addressing his corrupted armies.

The Malignant Spirits are a former half of the Loyalist Adeptus Astartes, the God Angels, and have devoted their every man and day to the worship of Khorne. The Malignant Spirits bathe in blood and battle, and if there cannot be any battle, then they make battle between themselves, as Khorne does not care from whom the blood flows, only that it does. Their Warlord is Illiath, who resides within the Bloodveil Fortress upon the Daemonworld of Khraken. He prides on the suffering and death of his foes, often engaging in emotional harm to his prisoners, who he lines up on Chaotic Shrine-crosses in his personal Deathworld Chamber.

The Malignant Spirits had split from the God Angels after Illiath and the God Angels Chapter Master, Illeus Kren, had a large dispute ending up with Illiath revealing his allegiance to the Blood God. They immediately engaged in a duel upon the planet of Fortrasil, with the Chapter splitting 51(MS)/49(GA) and both retreating to their faction lands to consolidate power.

Chapter Homeworld
Khraken - Khraken is a Khornate Daemonworld, with an uncountable number of sacrificial areas and an endless amount of blood pouring from the countless deaths of what can loosely be called "citizens" located there. The natural Daemonworld part of Khraken is called Section 0, is the most lawless area on the world, and considering this is both Khorne and Chaos, then no sane mortal, not even the one with the strongest of wills, can enter the world and come out still sane or still alive.

Fortress-Monastery

 * Bloodveil Fortress - An almost planetwide fortress, Bloodveil covers most of the Daemonworld of Khraken. The City-Fortress is divided into 8 sections, each with their own unique way of worshiping the Blood God. The Sections are each in pairs of 2, with them being separated by the castle of the guarding subfaction assigned, with each getting more Khornate and complex in nature. The outermost section, Section 1, is the Outer Blood Ring, and like their name-relatives in the Inner Blood Ring, drink the blood of an expansive moat 8 times every day to worship the Blood God. Section 2, the Inner Blood Ring, is past the walls of the Blood Castle, a large castle that houses the part of the Malignant Spirits that control Sections 1 and 2, the Sect of Flowing Blood. Section 1 looks like an ancient village, but with more of Khorne's influence planted in it, and Section 2 looks like what can be called a "city", but once again with more of Khorne's influence and metal. Sections 3 and 4 are Skinwall and Flesh City, and are controlled by the Sect of Flayed Skin.

Command Ranks

 * Khornate Warlord - A title held exclusively by Illiath, and that isn't going to change soon. The holder of this title must be a strong and capable leader, a bloodthirsty killer, and have a well-deserved high status within the eyes of the Blood God himself.
 * Bloodleader - The highest of the few organized ranks, you must be in the very "good" graces of Illiath to even have a try at this title. They command 1/3rd of the Half-Chapter's forces, organize the suffering 'entertainment' of the Legion upon Khraken, and have a little more complicated job than the others.

Specialist Formations

 * Krakens - Vile masses of tentacles and large maws, these specially morphed Warpspawns have been moved into the select role of guarding the Outer Blood Ring, Section 1 of Bloodveil Fortress. They form 8 layers of a ring around the City-Fortress, and guard against any possible threat, if one can even exist. Since Warp-spawndom can only be attained through negative means, whether displeasing Khorne or not having the power of will to survive the transformation into a Daemon Prince, they have been forced to take up this role for the rest of their eternal days for bringing shame to themselves.

Headquarters

 * Bloodveil Fortress - Bloodveil, while also working as their home fortress, can also act as a headquarters. It can deploy troops and fleets through the Eye of Terror and the Cicatrix Maledictum to bring terror to the Unbloodied-Emperor's slaves.

Companies
The Half-Chapter doesn't keep organized companies, rather throwing as many murder machines as they can until the world breaks.

Chapter Culture
Similar to Illiath, members of the Malignant Spirits (referred too as a Malignant Spirit) have a strong desire to inflict suffering and not bring death. They capture children from worlds and bring them to Khraken, then starve them beyond what is humanly possible, with captured Tzeentchian Sorcerers forced to bend the warp to keep these children alive while they fight over the rotten remains of different races. During all of this, Malignant Spirits shout and throw various objects at them, such as corpses, permanently damaged personal belongings, and generally just broken, killed, or destroyed things that the children were found to be close too. The one that comes out on top is usually pitted in a fight with the Bloodleader Terminator Abhaos Ireis, Dragon of Pain, and finally die.

Notable Members

 * Warlord Illiath - Illiath is the Warlord of the Malignant Spirits. A frenzied killer and a once close friend of Illeus Kren, the sight of Illiath and his wrathful armies descending upon the battlefield can send innocents and poor morale guard forces into a blood-crazed rage for survival. Few usually escape alive, or in one piece. Before Illiath became a Chaos Lord, he was a captain in the God Angels Space Marine chapter. Upon the world of Fortrasil, Illiath stalled the advance of God Angels forces on their way to kill Khornate Cultists in the middle of a ritual. He was then further questioned by Chapter Master Illeus Kren, as the previously sent forces were cut down when they arrived to find Daemons roaming around. Kren came close to finding out the answer on his own, but Illiath would not let him have that satisfaction. He revealed his allegiance to the Blood God, and his own loyal Marines arrived to battle Kren's loyalists, in a sort of single-planet, single Chapter, mini Horus Heresy. Illiath retreated with his forces to the Daemonworld "Khraken" where he started constructing an almost planetwide fortress, leaving Fortrasil in ruin.
 * Bloodleader Abhaos Ireis, Dragon of Pain - This Terminator manages the Half-Chapter's 'entertainment', and is also high in the eyes of Illiath. He inflicts almost as much fear as Illiath upon the battlefield, and the both of them together spells doom clearer than either of them on their own. Abhaos was a Sergeant, close to Captain Illiath during many of his crusades, and ultimately sided with him when he approached half of his Chapter with the fact he had turned to the side of the Ruinous Powers. He sits on Deathmantle now, the containing throne inside his flagship, Draco Sanguis, waiting for the perfect time to fell the enemies of Khorne.

Chapter Fleet
Battleships (I'm not entirely knowledgeable on good fleet sizes, so this will have some changes made to it)
 * Aspersos Maculis Sanguinem (Gloriana-class)
 * Praetorian Sanguine (Desolator-class)
 * Mors Incarnatum (Desolator-class)
 * Iram Dei Vindicem (Desecrator-class)
 * Ruptor Calvariae (Desecrator-class)
 * Draco Sanguis (Despoiler-class)
 * 2 Retaliator-classes
 * 3 Executor-classes
 * 1 Styx-class
 * 4 Acheron-classes
 * 8 Iconoclast-classes

Chapter Relics

 * Tyrannus Praesidium - A stolen and modified Astraeus Super-Heavy Tank. The Malignant Spirits kept the Macro-Accelerator cannons because they were extremely effective murder weapons, despite not being that favorable, being ranged and all, and compromised by exchanging the Heavy Bolter turrets and Las-rippers with large Chainaxes (Relic is void for now, Astraeuses are still new)

Allies

 * Zealots of Isfret (Sometimes) - Sometimes, to the dismay and anger of the Malignant Spirits, they are forced to work with the Zealots of Isfret, a Tzeentch-based Warband with an Eygptian aesthetic (Go figure, and boy have we not seen that in a certain Traitor Legion before). Illiath has become battle-partners, not friends, with one of their Sorcerers, Teran, but would happily go to war with them if their God willed it.

Enemies

 * Black Deaths - A Chaos Warband pledged to Nurgle, the Malignant Spirits treat pestilence and plague as they do sorcery, a force that weaklings use to butcher enemies in dishonorable combat, at a distance rather than up close. Illiath has had a lifetime long rivalry with their Leader, Plaugurias Betbnas.
 * Pleasured Partakers - A Chaos Warband pledged to Slaanesh. As Worshipers of Slaanesh, every single Malignant Spirit hates them with all of the hatred not directed at their current murder victim. Illiath especially hates them, and they are usually the main target for Illiath's Blood Hunts. Their leader, the forever pleased Guaghor Mriel, is extremely cowardly.
 * Zealots of Isfret (Sometimes) - When they are not forced to work with them, they will actively go to war with the Zealots, as they see them as any other of Tzeentch's great pawns. Vile sorcerers who kill from afar, and rely on their "magic brain lasers" to fell their enemies rather than a trusty and bloodied Chainaxe.

By the Malignant Spirits
"'Death was the only worthy foe I could ever face, and you, you disgusting reanimated corpse who gets bloated with meaningless titles like 'Death King' and 'Immortal Guardian-Lord', will be no different than the dirt we throw at your young!' "— Abhaos Iries before dueling the Angel Guard's Captain, Braoekais, during the Seige of                                         Khraken

Trivia
The original lore was to have the God Angels be the II Legion, with their Primarch being one Euagor Destophilies, the Primarch and the Malignant Spirits split from the Loyalists during the Horus Heresy, and the slightly absurd idea that they would have another, and somehow stronger, Planet Killer. As that violates the Canon-Friendly policy of the Wiki, I have altered the lore. The previous lore will be confined to a small canon between me and my friends, and my head canon.

The events known as "Blood Hunts", until recently, served as an equivalent to repentance crusades, an apology for feeding Slaanesh with suffering and not Khorne with skulls. My friend has informed me that Khorne would acquire much more energy if these acts were carried out in his domain, so I have changed it as such.

Since the names of some of the fleet ships incorporate both Latin and Blood, most of their names have some sort of "Sanguine" in it. This poses problems, of course, because of the Blood Angels Primarch, Sanguinius, and everything named after him.

The same friend as before gave me some more information about the energy thing, and I got really confused, so I just cut out that section for simplicity
