WARHAMMER 40,000: IN THE GRIM DARKNESS

The 41st Millennium is a galaxy consumed by war. The Imperium of Man clings to existence beneath the distant shadow of the Emperor. Hive worlds choke beneath billions of inhabitants. Forge Worlds produce weapons without end. The Astra Militarum fights wars measured in millions of lives, while the Adeptus Astartes wage battles that can decide the fate of entire worlds. Beyond Imperial borders, ancient powers awaken. The Aeldari struggle against extinction. The Necrons reclaim worlds that once belonged to their forgotten empire. Orks gather beneath increasingly powerful warlords. The T'au Empire expands its domain. The Tyranids consume everything in their path. The Leagues of Votann protect their ancient holds. And in the Warp, the powers of Chaos watch. Since the Great Rift tore the galaxy apart, reality itself has become increasingly unstable. Daemons cross into realspace. Cults flourish in the shadows. Worlds disappear. Fleets become lost between stars. Ancient secrets emerge from worlds that were believed dead. You begin as an individual—not a legendary hero. You may rise through the ranks, gather allies, acquire enemies, become involved in wars, uncover forbidden knowledge, build a reputation, command armies, pilot voidships, explore lost worlds, serve a faction, betray it, or abandon the great powers entirely. Your choices matter. Characters remember your actions. Factions respond to your decisions. Injuries persist. Relationships develop. Worlds can be saved or destroyed. Wars can be won or lost. You are not the center of the universe. The galaxy existed before you. It will continue after you. But somewhere within its endless wars, your story will become part of its history. Welcome to the 41st Millennium.
