The Idoneth Deepkin are a tragic and sinister faction in Warhammer Age of Sigmar, a race of aquatic Aelves who dwell in the deepest, darkest trenches of the Mortal Realms’ oceans. They are a fractured people, the descendants of those Aelves who escaped the clutches of Slaanesh, but at a terrible price. Their souls are incomplete, fragmented and fading, and they must harvest the souls of land-dwelling creatures to sustain themselves. This need for “tithes” drives their existence, leading them to launch terrifying, amphibious raids on coastal communities and unsuspecting settlements.

To achieve their goals, the Idoneth Deepkin use a combination of powerful sorcery and marine beasts. They can conjure “ethersea” onto land, a magical tide that allows them and their aquatic mounts to fight as if they were still in their natural element. Their armies are a bizarre and beautiful spectacle of marine predators and elegant, eel-riding cavalry known as Akhelians. Led by the enigmatic and often ruthless Soulrenders and Isharann, the Idoneth are a testament to the dark consequences of survival at all costs, a once-proud race now bound to a parasitic and soul-stealing existence.
