    Frequently Asked Questions

    Der Begriff Grimdark beschreibt eine düstere Zukunftsvision, in der jede Hoffnung im Keim erstickt wird. In der Welt von Warhammer 40.000 gibt es keine klassischen Helden, da selbst die Protagonisten moralisch tief im Graubereich versunken sind. Diese Atmosphäre prägt das gesamte 41. Jahrtausend und unterscheidet das Setting deutlich von glänzenden Utopien, da hier ein Zustand des permanenten, erbarmungslosen Krieges herrscht, der die gesamte Popkultur beeinflusst hat.

    Der Gott-Imperator ist das zentrale Oberhaupt des Imperiums der Menschheit, der seit zehntausend Jahren als lebender Leichnam auf dem Goldenen Thron vegetiert. Um sein psychisches Signal aufrechtzuerhalten und das Reich vor dem Verfall zu bewahren, müssen ihm täglich tausend Psioniker geopfert werden. Dieser Zustand symbolisiert die Verrottung und den extremen Preis, den die Menschheit im 41. Jahrtausend für ihr Überleben in einem feindseligen Universum zahlen muss.

    Das Imperium der Menschheit ist ein gigantisches, interstellares Reich, das sich über eine Million Welten erstreckt, jedoch von innen heraus verrottet. Es befindet sich in einem Zustand der totalen Belagerung durch verräterische Götter, unersättliche Aliens und den schleichenden Verfall der Vernunft. Anstatt einer technologischen Blütezeit erleben die Bewohner eine Ära, in der die Menschheit zwar die Sterne erobert, dabei aber ihre Seele und jegliche Hoffnung auf eine friedliche Existenz verloren hat.
