I chose to go to Nurgle's realm first, where merely marching around will cause devastating attrition until you've visited four places of power to stack a disease immunity buff. I really enjoyed the dynamic this created, like a tight-knit cast of bitter rivals who might be from different corners of the earth, but will be brought together Battle Royale style for murderous sprints through surreal worlds of death and nightmare. And all the other faction leaders will be trying to do the same thing. When the rifts into the Chaos Realms open, you have a limited amount of time to defeat a rival Daemon Prince and take his soul. I did, however, keep running into everyone else. I didn't see him in person in the 50 turns I was able to play, though I was assured he will be around and not merely come down from his dark fortress to challenge you at the final hour. The current Big Four don't necessarily want some upstart challenging their power, after all. He's the most powerful Daemon Prince of them all, and will serve as the main antagonist and a sort of final boss, even if you're playing as one of the other Chaos factions. Ursun's jailer is none other than Be'lakor, the First of the Damned. As for me? I'm out to finish what I started… and become a god myself. The ogres literally just want to eat him. Miao Ying, the Storm Dragon of Cathay, is searching for her lost sister and only Ursun knows where she has gone. They all share the same goal of collecting a powerful daemon's soul from each of the four realms so they can breach the prison where Ursun's spirit is being tortured and will soon perish forever. Ursun's death has sent shockwaves across the world that will periodically open up rifts into the Realms of Chaos, spawning destructive neutral armies who had no camaraderie with my upstart prince, and allowing the terrestrial factions to briefly invade the domains of Khorne, Slaanesh, Tzeentch, and Nurgle. Even more than Warhammer 2's Eye of the Vortex. Warhammer 3's main campaign is very story-driven. While the previously announced Chaos factions will focus on one particular god, the Legions of Chaos can pick any of the four they choose – or mix and match them all by choosing Chaos Undivided. Slaying this great, fuzzy enemy of chaos has allowed me to turn into a powerful Daemon Prince who can be named and customized with all kinds of different body parts and weapons. That's a lot to process on my very first turn of Total War: Warhammer 3, but the consolation prize isn't bad. Ursun, the bear god of Kislev, is dead, and I have killed him.
