What symbol or figure do the Druchii use to represent Death?
Well I have a little project in mind so I'm collecting info~
The Empire have the classic 'Death', black robed, skull face, big mean scythe.
But what about Druchii? What would best represent 'Death' when a Druchii thinks about it? Someone from the Executioners, or a certain God they worship?

I think the minis of the Nazghul of LOTR would be fine..

I believe Morai-Heg is the Elven god of Death/Underworld.
That should get you started.
Hammer-wiki wrote:Morai-Heg is an Elven goddess known as the Keeper of Souls or the Crone. She is said to hold a parch made of skin within which the fates of mortals are kept. She has the ability to read the future in the passage of the stars, and when death approaches she sends Banshees to foretell it with their wails. When an Elf dies, his soul passes into her possession and if she chooses she can release it to re-enter the world of the living again. It is believed that Morai-Heg knows every mortal secret.
Morai-Heg is portrayed as an ancient and withered creature clad in ragged dark robes and carrying a gnarled, twisted staff and pouch. Her worship is probably the least popular among the High Elves. Outside Elvenkind the Crone is almost unknown although there are certain followers of Morr, the Old World God of Death, that have heard of her and respect her.
That should get you started.
Scorpions? I'm not sure where or how accurate this was, but I read somewhere that one of the cytharai connected with the dead used scorpions as guardians? I also remember reading something about Khaine being represented by them too...
Again though, I can't remember the source, so it's probably not much help to you.

I think the Harpies are are pretty good symbol for the unforseen death...some stories tell, they are the souls of fallen witches. They are the Druchii pendant of the "Angel of Death"

Khaine is suposed to have a thousand aspects, if you were feeling creative you could create one yourself, perhaps drawing upon Mori Heg imagry as the goddess could have been folded into the new focus opon Khaine when the Nagrythi became Naggrothi. I am not saying that the death godess might not be worshiped seperatly by some, but hard core Khainites would be unlikely to.
Moding a group of Druchii.net players is much like directing the musical 'Cats' using actual cats. Frustrating, difficult, chaotic but ultimatley satisfying and a great deal of fun.
