Kurgan

The Kurgan are one of the tribal peoples known as Northmen who inhabit the Northern Chaos Wastes. The Kurgan's territories cover a vast swathe of the Northern Chaos Wastes, which surrounds the Realm of Chaos at the northern polar region.

The Kurgan live as nomadic tribes, travelling with their families and livestock, their wandering directed by their chieftains and the whims of their Chaos gods. Their territories are wherever they find themselves.

Kurgans are almost without exception horse tribes. Some tribes travel with wagons to carry tents and altars. Those few tribes who do not travel by mount wander by foot, or for some reason have chosen to permanently settle an area.

The Kurgan are divided into numerous tribes, some more savage and ferocious than others. The tribes further to the north and closer to the Realm of Chaos are the most ferocious and barbarous, and the most devoted followers of Chaos. The Dolgans, one of more southern Kurgan tribes, had once lived in relative peace with the Ungols of Kislev. Today they have become less ambiguous, and now form together under Zars in imitation of the Tzars of Kislev. Their attacks have been growing more powerful as more of the bands come together and it is becoming harder to push them back, even though their attacks usually only last for one season.

Infamous leaders of the Kurgan were:

• Surtha Lenk, Follower of Tzeentch, who destroyed the Imperial city of Wolfenburg
• Aelfric Cyrnwulf, the Chosen of Tzeentch, who invaded Kislev at the beginning of the Storm of Chaos
• Asavar Kul, Kurgan Warlord and Everchosen, who invaded Kislev during the Great war against Chaos
• The Skulltaker was once a great chieftain of the Kurgan.
