However, a catastrophic event had occurred at an unknown point in time that has since cursed the World to its inevitable damnation. These intelligent and benevolent entities originally had a purpose for this worlds creations, and went about drawing it closer to the sun and seeding the earth with the first forms of life. Long before the coming of Mankind upon the fertile lands of the Old World, the World was originally a lush paradise guarded by the powerful beings known only as the Old Ones. The origins of the Warriors of Chaos can be tied to the origins of both Chaos and Mankind itself. Such men cannot be reasoned with, for their every belief is enslaved to the idea that the destruction of our world is their sacred duty.' - Tzarina Katarina, the Ice Queen. History ' What makes them so dangerous is that they truly believe in the things they say they believe that they are the chosen warriors of an ancient power whose sole purpose is to destroy any who oppose it. So long as there is still Chaos within this world, there will also be those evil and greedy men that are wholly willing to serve them. No matter how many of these marauders are killed, no matter how many invasions are pushed back and enemy armies annihilated, the Hordes of Chaos can never truly be defeated, and after a few years of relative peace, they shall once more come down south and begin the vicious cycle once again. The corruption of Chaos runs deep within the blood of Men, and its influence upon Human history has literally shaped the founding of entire nations.ДЇrom the Northern Waste, armies of the Dark Gods would attack the southern lands time and again, slaughtering without reason, pillaging that which is not nailed down, and just simply wreaking wanton destruction to the nations of the Old World. The race of Men is a paradox upon the world, for although they are considered the world's greatest defenders against the darkness that is Chaos, they also number amongВ Chaos' greatest and most numerous servants. However, out of all the mortal races that Chaos has corrupted over the centuries, perhaps the greatest and most numerous of their followers are those of Mankind. No single race, no matter how noble or powerful, will ever be safe from their barbaric invasions, nor are they safe from the seductive whispers of the Dark Gods. Д¬haos itself is a corrupting influence upon the world, like a dark, malign cancer that eats at the minds of all those that live within the World. Slaves to darkness all, they have given themselves wholly to the Ruinous Powers, some willingly, others because they felt they had no other choice. Out of all the many threats that the Old World must face, none strikes such fear and misery into the hearts of Men like the Followers of Chaos. To all those that face them, the northern barbarians are considered by all to be the enemies of all the world, whose unwavering worship to an uncaring and sadistic pantheon of ancient and evil gods has given them a single driving motive to usher in the inevitable downfall of all mortal-kind into their hellish enslavement. The Warriors of Chaos, also known as the Hordes of Chaos, the Followers of Chaos, Chaos Undivided, the Northern Barbarians or simply just the Northmen, are the names given to a race of savage, warlike tribes of Human Barbarians that occupy the harsh and unforgiving lands of the uppermost North, known in the lands of the Old World as the dreaded Northern Waste. The eight-pointed star of Chaos is a unifying symbol of Chaos Undivided. The Reign of Chaos has begun!.' - Egrimm van Horstmann, Champion of Tzeentch.

Fools! Seek refuge in faith or madness, for there's no longer any other place to hide.

The dreadful breed of night is crawling out of darkness, to take possession of the world. Time passes into oblivion, and the stars lapse in the sky. ' Woe, O world! The Age of Mortals is coming to an end.
