I thought you hated the End Times and that they weren't canon?

Thus if we are going of your thought-process of that then, she could still fall to Chaos and not survive possession by a God itself.

Honestly the End Times and Age of Sigmar are something I to want to forget. I just enjoy the agony of others sometimes.

A Circle of Standing Stones near the Altar of a Thousand Stones
​
​
Yulgara entered the circle of stones, utterly confident in this place, near the center of her power. Behind her trailed a mixed group of Witch-Guard, all armed and armored with the most valuable equipment available to the Children. Where Yulgara was casual in her movements, almost relaxed in her careful but unperturbed movement the Witch-Guard were constantly alert, eyes scanning the gloomy woods and weapons at the ready. One who saw them might think they were aware of something Yulgara was not... but most likely, it was the other way around. The reason she had come to this mystically charged but non-central circle of stones, instead of her own much revered Altar was simple. What she did now was to be kept from all save the closest of her Children, at least at this stage. As she took her place in the center of the circle, figures began to appear in the shrouded forest line around the stones and the Witch-Guard tensed. These figures were not only not one of their own group, but... they were not Beastmen. At least, they did not seem to be.

Yulgara raised her hand to beckon them, and the Witch-Guard relaxed, as the darkly robed figures approached, and kneeled in supplication before their mother. She smiled down at them, her eyes seeing far beyond the faces that tilted up towards her in rapt attention from under their hoods. Each was indeed human... or nearly so. These were the near misses, those almost human enough to be used as Changelings, but each was subtly wrong, mutant in one way or another. Such spawn were inevitable, with the blessings of her Gods she was a master manipulator of flesh, and there was often no easier flesh and form to manipulate than that which she had borne inside of herself as a mother, but though she strived for the Mother's own perfection, the endless dance kept it just outside her reach... but that was ever the allure of the dance, and such failures were inevitable, and by no means without use or purpose. These now, these imperfect men and women who were her sons and daughters would the first agents of her plans set in motion.

She made a motion for them to rise, and each did so, pulling back their hoods. All had some physical deformity which marked them apart from the race of Men, though they were minor and many were easily hidden they could not have been hidden permanently. Small nubs where horns might have been, teeth that were far, far too sharp for a normal human, the ears of a beast, a small unobtrusive tail, the signs were there, but they could be obscured. Drawing a knife, Yulgara cut her hand and marked each with a bloody fingerprint above their left eye which burned like a brand, and then faded until they were merely a dull splotch on their skin. And then Yulgara spoke, her melodious voice carrying power and command, spoken softly like velvet into the night, "You my children are blessed by the Gods for this task, you will be my eyes and ears in the lands of Man. I have given each of you the gift of obscurity, to cause the eyes and minds of men to drift from you. Do not let this overbolden you, for you are each so precious to me, I could not bare your loss. Go now to the towns and villages of the men south of here, seek my Changelings and bring them their mothers' love, so they might fulfill their true potential. I know you will not fail me, my precious children. Go, and help your mother begin the age of the Moon and the Mother."

Each bowed their head, and gave thankful prayers, intoning "By the Moon and Mother." Before drawing their hoods again, and heading out into the night. As crafty and well accustomed to the woods as any trueborn Beastman, they would make all haste for the lands to the south, for the homes and villages of the Men who dwelt there. Two, however, remained with their hoods still down. Yulgara's smile turned to them. Unlike the others these two had not been failures at all. They had been perfect... too perfect, to risk on the vagaries of empathy their apparent kind might have felt for them. "Your part will come soon enough my lovely twins, do not worry. Now, come join your mother while we are alone. The Children are looking for lone Men to bring me for sacrifice, and so I cannot tarry too long." The brother and sister moved to join Yulgara in her ritual. They looked not unlike the others, but seemed superior in every way. They stood taller and their movements were more graceful, their eyes saw more and better than the others, and they were without mar or blemish. They each had hair of lustrous gold so bright it was almost white and their long, sharp ears were keener even than the Beasts of the Wood.


-Actions

Yulgara will send out her imperfect Changeling children to spy on the human towns as travelers or under cover of darkness, seeking those humans that might be made into Cults, and to awaken the long-dormant inner nature of the many True Changelings Yulgara had left in human communities to mature as humans.

Well that's your one group who may have had the ability to defend you out of the picture. Thank You. :):D
 
I dunno I guess I don't see how an obscure group of Beastmen in the Border Princes who no one should reasonably know a lot about putting a very secretive plan into place somehow falls into your plans but I suppose I'll see.
 
If that's how magic worked in Warhammer how is it there are ever large groups of Beastmen who threaten the Wood Elves, let alone random humans thousands of miles away

Because we know about them but that doesn't mean we can kill them. Plus you know only vague prophecy ideas

And IC we don't know that you've done this merely that you exist

I wonder what happened to them amongst the Tilean madness kicked off by either Druchii, skaven or the fact that If you leave three Tileans alone for five minutes at least one of them will have a knife in his back when you return.

Well for Tileans the Republic of Verezzo seems to have its head on its shoulders, they only declared a Republic after their Prince basically became Boris Goldgather 2: the Grain Edition, and ever since then they've basically become the Qarth of Warhammer. (including getting it on in the trade routes with the Golden Empire of Yi Ti Grand Empire of Cathay) if anyone in South Tilea could quietly rob their potential invaders blind while making the mercenaries glad they have such generous clients it would be Verezzo :V
