The world... of warhammer!

The world of Warhammer (no, not Warcraft) is a brutal place, a place where you're most likely to be born in the gutter of an Imperial city, but the rare few grow up to become adventurers. Fewer survive longer than a week or so. This is the world of Warhammer.

The Empire is a large region covered largely in forests, but it contains some of the most populous citys in the Old World. Most people will know the Warhammer world from the miniature game, but we will largely be concentrating on WFRP (Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay) and in this case, many of the characters will come from the Empire, or if not, then one of the neighbouring countries.

Unfortunately, the world is not as nice as it sounds. There are constant threats of the forces of Chaos attacking with forces much larger than the Empire can sustain attacks from. Then you have the Greenskins, the savage Greenskins that attack with such ferocity, although their IQ doesnt often reach double figures, so they often end up fighting amongst themselves if they get bored. But then you have the Skaven, the rat-men that burrow beneath the world, the Empire itself has Skaven underneath its feet, in its sewers.

But the Empire has hope, even if it's only a little; the Empire can harness magic, the Empire has devout warrior priests ready to lay down their lives for the Empire, and then the hardy adventurers, who might die by the hundreds, but each one makes a difference, no matter how small.

That's been a quick rundown of the Empire and the basic Warhammer worlds struggle, but there is much more to it then that. Maybe I'll tell you one day, but I feel that is enough for now.

savvy out. ;)
