Beyond the borders of the Mortal Realms churns the Realm of Chaos, a domain unbound by the laws of matter or reason, shaped instead by the tides of feeling that pour from every living soul. Here rage, hope, despair and desire congeal into landscapes that shift with every passing whim, and the four Ruinous Powers rule from citadels of impossible geometry, each god a tyrant over a portion of this seething eternity.
Within its boundless expanse lie the daemon-realms, where the servants of the Dark Gods are birthed and unmade in endless cycles, and where the Slaves to Darkness seek the favour of their patrons through slaughter, sorcery, and unspeakable devotion. Mortal champions who please their masters may be raised to daemonhood; those who fail become playthings, or worse, food for the hungry powers they served.
The Realm of Chaos presses eternally against the fabric of the Mortal Realms, seeking every crack and weakness through which its corruption might spill. Where its influence bleeds through, the world itself sickens, geography warping and time unravelling as reality surrenders to nightmare. It is not a place but an appetite, a hunger without end, and against it the peoples of the realms must stand or be devoured whole.
