Warhammer: A Mythic Universe of Endless Battles
Warhammer is a high fantasy fictional universe created by Games Workshop and used in many of its games, including the table top wargame Warhammer Fantasy Battle, the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (WFRP) pen-and-paper role-playing game, and the MMORPG Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. Warhammer is notable for its “dark and gritty” background world, which featured a culture similar in appearance to Early Modern Germany crossed with Tolkien’s Middle-earth. “Chaos” was central to the setting, as the forces of Chaos are unceasingly attempting to tear the mortal world asunder.
