In doing so, they paid no heed to the tiny speck of light tumbling in the infinite darkness -- the glowing essence of what had once been a man. Archaon was now in ascendance; Middenheim was undoubtedly the proudest conquest of the Norscans' long and storied history, for its capture was an unmatched humiliation of the weakling gods of the Empire. In this manner, Archaon managed to build one of the largest armies of Chaos that had ever existed. Archaon's only two significant issues are that he lacks a monstrous mount (making him a smaller target, but also harder for him to escape mobs of infantry) and that as a hybrid warrior/caster he needs to get to a very high level to amass enough skill points to use his entire skill set. Of all the Everchosen of Chaos who have assailed the world over the ages, Archaon is by far the most ruthless and perhaps the most powerful.
