Their secret plots and unseen deeds suffuse the Old World, and patiently they await that prophesied day when they will arise from their secret places and throw down the works of Man, and Elf, and Dwarf, to usher in a terrible age of Chaos.ДЇrom this tangle of political machinations, hidden cults, and foul ambition, a scant handful dare to hope for something more.

They whisper sweet succor and velvet promises, embracing the witch, the mutant, and the heretic. Some preach that ancient and terrible gods, the ruinous powers of Chaos, offer the only hope of change. This cankerous state cannot go on, and indeed revolutionaries whisper of a better world. The nobility are witless hedonists, or scheming misanthropes, heedless of the suffering left in their wake. The Empire itself is a fractious mess, a handful of Great Provinces vying for power and always with a keen eye toward snatching any advantage from a neighbour. If you wish to climb out of the gutter, you better have the coin to pay for the privilege, or failing that, a blade to cut your way free. The truth of life in the Empire is rarely glorious, often short, and never without peril. That, at least, is what the child and the sycophant claim. From mighty Altdorf, all are fairly ruled, from the poorest citizen to the most luminous noble, each a proud heir to SigmarвЂ™s glorious destiny. Sigmar, its founder, is now a god, his influence still shepherding his chosen peoples. It is a beacon of civilisation in an untamed world. The Empire of Karl Franz stretches from the Sea of Claws in the north to the Black Mountains in the south, and beyond that perilous range, the wild and untamed lands of the Border Princes. Drawing inspiration from the legendary early publications of the grimdark RPG, WFRPВ brings innovative twists to build on the beloved classic. The fourth edition of the original dark fantasy roleplaying game, Warhammer Fantasy RoleplayВ takes you back to the world where Chaos never sleeps. And, most of all, prepare yourself for the grim and perilous adventure of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay! Prepare yourself for danger, as lethal threats are everywhere, and you canвЂ™t face them alone. Prepare yourself for the struggle of the gutter, to fight for your survival, and to face corruption on all sides. Get the gang together, create your (anti)heroes, and set off to make your way through the vile corruption, scheming plotters and terrifying creatures intent on destruction. Warhammer Fantasy RoleplayВ (WFRP)В takes you back to the Old World.
