This is a dark age, a bloody age
an age of demons and of sorcery.
It is an age of battle and death
and of the world's ending.
Amidst all of the fire, flame and fury
it is a time too, of mighty heroes
of bold deeds and great courage.
At the heart of the Old World sprawls the Empire
the largest and most powerful of the human realms
Known for its engineers, sorcerers
traders and soldiers
it is a land of mighty rivers, great mountains
dark forests
and vast cities
and from his throne in Altdorf reigns the Emperor Karl-Franz.
But these are far from civilized times.
Across the length and breadth of the Old World
from the knightly palaces of Bretonnia
to ice-bound Kislev in the far north
come rumblings of war.
In the towering World's Edge Mountains
the orc tribes are gathering for another assault.
Bandits and renegades harry the wild southern lands of the Border Princes.
There are rumors of rat-things, the skaven
emerging from the sewers and swamps across the land.
And from the northern wilderness there is the ever present threat
of Chaos, of demons and beastmen
corrupted by the foul powers of the Dark Gods.
As the time of battle draws ever near
the Empire needs heroes like never before.
