In the
Warhammer Fantasy games (
Warhammer 40k and
Warhammer Fantasy Battle) created by
Games Workshop, Chaos refers to the forces of
evil and
destruction. The followers of Chaos worship the
Chaos Gods (or the
Warhammer Chaos Powers). Related concepts include the
Warp, otherwise known as the Realm of Chaos.
In Warhammer 40k, the Emperor of Mankind, aka The Emperor, is seen by many as the last defence of humanity against Chaos and the Chaos Gods. He was almost killed in a large Chaos rebellion, the Horus Heresy, and has dwelt in the Golden Throne (a life support machine) ever since.
