The 13 Commandments

After reading the thread on why Skaven use warpstone, I was struck by the fact that we haven't come up with 13 Commandments. And so here are mine. Feel free to come up with your own and post here.

"And The Horned Rat came forth and beckoned Lord Willard Dirtyfur, and spoke 'thou hast been a clever rat and thou hast been a cunning rat. I will, then, give you my commandments. And you shall squeak them with mine voice, and mine doom glaive shall be your staff.'

And The Horned One passed 13 tablets made of warpstone, and on each tablet, a commandment was scribed. And they read:


I. I am The Horned Rat, your god. Thou shalt have no other gods beside me.
II. Thou shalt mark mine rune on all things, but shall never bear a false idol.
III. Thou shalt never use my name.
IV. Keep the 13th day of the month and the 169th day of the year, for they are holy.
V. Thou shalt kill thy mother and father....and uncle and cousin and niece.
VI. Thou shall murder
VII. Thou shalt covet thy neighbor's breeders.
VIII. Thou shall steal
IX. Thou shall bear false witness against thy inferiors and superiors
X. Thou shall covet warpstone, for it is good
XI. Thou shalt clean thy fur thrice a month, for thou art a smelly rat and the stench does not please me.
XII. Thou shalt strive to kill Mickey Mouse, for he is a false prophet.
XIII. Thou shalt consume the world.

And then His Ratliness was gone, and Lord Dirtyfur was euphoric."

Cute but no cigar: tradition has it that we have, not 13, but 169 commandments. So keep on going. ;)

Commandment XIV. Ignore the remaining 155 Commandments. They aren't really the major ones and the Great Horned One just had a lot of time and space left so he just added a lot of filler.

I would like to think that my comment in the warpstone thread inspired this one :P Maybe this topic should be stabbed, because it would take a concerted effort to come up with 169 commandments.
Skavenade-it'll tickle yer innards!

Eli: You must copy down everything I say, word for word. Word?
Other guy: *sigh* word.
Eli: In the beginning there was the word...

Commandment XVI- THOU SHALT NOT talk about the Underempire




GENERATION 1: The first time you see this, copy and paste it into your sig and add 1 to the number after generation. Consider it a social experiment.

Commandment XVII: Thou shall not listen to the Pied Piper.
Commandment XVIII: Thou shall frame Roger Rabbit, but not get caught.

I guess it can only go downwards after commandment number 13 :P .

Hahahaha, I think you're right about number 13 being the end all for the commandments; kinda hard to top "consume the world"

Totally rad
XIX: Thou shall not build a temple to the horned rat that has walls of red sandstone
XX: Thou shall not go to NIHM, for it is a silly place
XXI: Thou shall add warpstone, because it is good
XXII: Thou shall add more warpstone, because it is better
XXIII: Thou shall add even more warpstone, because nothing is better
XXIV: Thou shall cackle madly, for it keeps vocal chords limber should thou need to cry for help
XXV: Thou shall not fear the poke-ball, for you are neither Rattata nor Raticate
