It is believed by all of Skaven-kind that the world is destined to be theirs, for they consider themselves the supreme master race, undeniably superior in every way to all the other intelligent races of the Known World.[1e] This unwavering belief stems from the promises made by their horrifically malevolent deity, known by many legendary names, but whose most well-known title is that of the Horned Rat. The Horned Rat is the embodiment of all things the Skaven are or ever will be, and his worship over the Under-Empire is both supreme and absolute.[1i]
