So complete was his destruction of Praag that the ruins of the city were infused with the stuff of Chaos. Old texts tell of the walls, once made of stone, transformed into a grotesque, fleshy substance said to be remains of those warriors who fought against the dark Champion's horde. These walls grew faces, and their mouths screamed blasphemous curses, driving those who heard them mad. He was merciless, relentless and nigh invulnerable, clad from head to toe in armor of midnight black. His weapons were imbued with the unholy power of the Dark Gods. It took no less a man than Magnus the Pious to put an end to his bloody campaign. Had it not been for noble Magnus, the greatest cities of the Empire would have suffered the same terrible fate as Praag." - Tsarina Katarina, Ice Queen of Kislev Engra Deathsword, the Destroyer of Praag; was a Champion of Chaos Undivided and a prominent villain in the Warhammer Fantasy universe.
- Engra's name is amongst the most dreaded and despised in all the annals of Kislev's long history. For while Sven Bloody Hand's bloody devastation of Erengrad is justly regarded as a terrible atrocity by Kislevite and Imperial alike, and while Valmir Aesling broke the power of the Norscan Dwarf clans for all eternity with his destruction of Kraka Drak, Engra Deathsword's annihilation of the northernmost of the Kislevite cities was an act of utter horror. The monstrosity of the act so pleased the Dark Gods that a black wind blew from the north. Roaring out of the Chaos Gateway, it boiled through the Troll Country, raging into northern Kislev. The wind howled through the pathways of the city, transforming everything it touched. Man and stone bled together into grotesque, living sculptures, distorted faces writhed out from the walls, and imprisoned souls screamed in agony, entrapped within the twisted stones of the city, while their agonized limbs writhed out from between the flagstones of the pavement. By the wrath of this one Norscan warlord, the city of Praag had become a nightmare incarnate -- and a taste of what awaited the Old World were the armies of the north victorious in their struggle. He is also notable as one of the warlords to whom some of the Swords of Chaos warband was pledged to before swearing their services to Archaon.
