"Nine is the number most sacred to the changer of the ways. It is only upon tracing the ninth sigil that the runes of a change-scroll begin to glow, morphıng into their true nature. There are nine distinct rites an acolyte must master before he can unlock the secrets that will permit him to pierce the veil, a process that will allow a worthy aspirant to draw upon the boundless energies of the immaterium. To remain unbroken, a summoning symbol must contain nine sequential rings – each perfectly executed in a nine-fold process. Nine are the chants of the kairic cultists, and for casting, a coven of nine is by far the most powerful of groupings. Yet it is not mortal rites alone that obey the great sorcerer’s enneadic rules. The number nine can be found woven throughout the unfathomable and ever changing structures of the architect of fate’s own realm within the warp. The lords of change, the greatest servants of Tzeentch and commanders of his convocations, are ordered within nine levels of trust. All seek their master’s favour, and those in ascendency rule the nine fractal fortresses. Beneath each of those most exalted are nine hundred and nintety-nine legions, each divided into nine hosts. It is said that when daemons are slain, their immortal spirit appears within the impossıble fortress, arriving before their maker from one of the ever-shifting nine gates – there to be either reformed or re-absorbed by the will of Tzeentch."
