The Known World stands on the brink of annihilation. It has done so since the beginning of time, when the great Old Ones were destroyed long ago. The polar Warp Gates of the Old Ones, once a marvel of ancient technology, have collapsed, and through them the energies of Chaos have flowed like water into the cold harsh lands of the northern and southern wastes. Since then, every few hundred years, the Chaos Gods would reach out their hands towards this dying world and demand a claim of it as their own. So it is fitting that a Champion of Chaos shall unite the warring tribes of the north and bring about the end of time as we know it.
