"Chaos is law to those who rule it."
The Warp Lords are supreme entities of the Abyss, ancient and incomprehensibly powerful, who sit at the apex of the Abyssal hierarchy. They maintain control over the chaotic multiversal dimension known as the Abyss, governing its countless layers and ensuring its dark energies persist.
Environment: An infinite dimension of swirling black and red clouds, constantly shifting and unstable.
Structure: Divided into countless layers, each ruled by a Warp Lord Archduke, who shapes their domain according to their dark desires.
Function: The Abyss is a prison for unworthy souls, mortals deemed unworthy by gods, or those bound by pacts with Warp Lords, Warp Demons, or other malevolent entities. It is feared by mortals as Hell.
Inhabitants: Countless enslaved souls, tortured and manipulated for the Warp Lords’ purposes.
Shapeshifting: Warp Lords can assume any form, often appearing as humanoids to interact with mortals, but their true forms range from abominations to incomprehensible horrors.
Warp Influence: Each Warp Lord wields unique powers reflecting their layer and personal nature, including manipulation of souls, energy, matter, and the Abyss itself.
Infernal Ascension: A mortal soul that reaches the top layer’s Pool of Infernal Power and drinks from it can ascend to become a new Warp Lord, gaining near-limitless authority over a slice of the Warp.
