Since the outbreak of Sigmar's Storm, the people of the Mortal Realms have been fighting tooth and nail for the islands of civilization they have established. All the cities are blackened by the flames of war, all the populations are shaken by the ordeal of their simple survival. But now that the Hour of Decline has arrived, the fabric of reality is being torn apart as hordes of ratmen, the Skaven, reverse decades of progress.

But Sigmar's hosts continue the fight. They know that the relentless cycle of war is inevitable and that it takes its toll on the mighty Eternals of the Storm. But if the candle of hope flickers, it shines bright enough to inspire thousands of acts of dedication.
