The Ruinous Powers

The Ruinous Powers, were powerful entities who inhabit and control the galaxy of Chaus that is the centre all physical reality. They were the first entities in the universe and were created by the Chaos Force as a bi-product of its movement. They instantly gained a rudimentary consciousness of their own, but they were all entangled within one another as they were yet to take a form. As they twisted around the centre point of the universe these instinctual, formless entities gained their own individual forms exploded apart which formed the galaxy of Chaus.

As beings and other souls began to become more prominent in the universe the power of each Ruinous skewed towards a behaviour that suited them.

Origin
They were born at the start if the universe from the energy left behind from the Chaos Force. Their existence was a twisted combination of all four souls that had been created by the force, yet each of them wished to be separate, fighting and pushing with all their strength to escape.

First to break from the struggle came Khorne, the strongest of the siblings and the one most filled with anger. After Khorne came Tzeentch, the most tricky and smart, who had grabbed hold of Khrone as it broke free meaning that Tzeentch was also free. Nurgle was injured in the escape as its stomach was ripped open by the power of Khorne's exit so it was unable to free itself, but Slaanesh tossed the injured power from its own body completing the separation of the Ruinous Powers and also forging the Chaus galaxy for the energy they exerted coalesced into its borders.
