These are the rites or sacrifices available to Dark Elves in the campaign mode of Total War: Warhammer II. All of these involve sacrificing slaves to the Dark Elf Gods.
They should not be confused with rituals in the Eye of the Vortex campaign.
Sacrifice to Atharti
Those sacrificed to the Lady of Desire go willingly to their deaths. Such appeasement enthrals the masses.
Cost: 100 slaves, Cooldown: 20 turns, Duration: 5 turns.
- On turn start, lords have a chance to gain 2 loyalty.
- Public order +8 (all owned provinces).
Sacrifice to Hekarti
The Mistress of Magic is very choosy about who is sacrificed to her - only those touched by sorcery may be offered. In return, she brings the Winds of Magic.
Cost: 250 slaves, Cooldown: 20 turns, Duration: 5 turns.
- Experience gain +50 for Sorceresses.
- Experience per turn +200 for Sorceresses.
- Winds of Magic power reserves +30 (all forces).
- Hero action success chance +40% for Sorceresses.
Sacrifice to Khaine
The victims of Khaine cannot go meekly to His halls; it must be bloody-handed murder. But once the blood is flowing, from whence will it stop?
Cost: 375 slaves, Cooldown: 40 turns, Duration: 15 turns.
- Casualties captured post-battle: +25%
- Casualty replenishment rate +20%
- Income from slaves +15%
- Slave decline rate +50%
- Income from post-battle loot +50%

Sacrifice to Mathlann
The slaves are brought to the Altar of Mathlann, Lord of the Deeps; their sacrifice ensures the seas are for the Druchii alone.
Cost: 500 slaves, Cooldown: 25 turns.
- A Black Ark will become available to be recruited at any port settlement.
Sacrifice to Drakira
- This replaces Sacrifice to Hekarti for the Har Ganeth subfaction.
An offering to the Queen of Vengeance cannot be any mere kill. It has to be one sought through revenge - the wronged party achieving the retribution due. Such acts will most likely glean Drakira's attention.
Cost: 400 slaves, Cooldown: 30 turns, Duration: 10 turns
- Recruit rank +2 for Death Hags and Witch Elves.
- Leadership +10 when fighting High Elves (all armies).
- Weapon strength +15% when fighting High Elves (all armies).
- Diplomatic relations -25 with High Elves.
Sacrifice to Anath Raema
- This replaces Sacrifice to Mathlann for The Blessed Dread subfaction.
Anath Raema is the sister of Khaine, and Goddess of the Savage Hunt. Through her, the Dark Elves are gifted the joy of the chase and the kill. Anath Raema does not care who or what is hunted, every living being is prey for the bloodthirsty Goddess!
Cost: 400 slaves, Cooldown: 25 turns, Duration: 10 turns
