A world that was destroyed… and reborn
Age of Sigmar is not ordinary fantasy. It is the story of a world that fell, was torn by chaos, and rose again from the ashes.
There once was the Old World. Kingdoms of humans, elves, and dwarfs. But it fell. Chaos consumed it, the gods vanished, and civilization crumbled.
From the ruins emerged the Mortal Realms – mortal realms woven from magic. Each realm has its own character: fire, death, life, metal, light, or shadow. And above it all stands the god Sigmar, who refused to accept the end.
Sigmar sends his warriors back into the world as Stormcast Eternals – immortal knights forged by lightning and faith. But Chaos never sleeps. Demons, corrupted warriors, undead lords, and wild hordes clash over and over in an endless war.
And this is where your story begins.
