An elite few of Chaos warriors are assigned to search for the Spear of Myrmidia and unleash the power of the Winds of Chaos in full force. All this is to ensure that they are victorious against the Emperor’s Order of the Griffon. To unleash the magic, marauder Kormak must enter the portal to the Realm of Khorne called Bastion Stair. As he does so, he must face the anger of the Blood God. Besides the warriors of the Raven Host, brutish Orcs, treacherous Dark Elves and a desperate Imperial army threaten to seize and harness the powers of Chaos.

Jeff Hickman, Executive Producer for Mythic Entertainment stated, “With the first two Warhammer Online novels, Empire In Chaos and Dark Storm Gathering, we saw the Realm vs. Realm conflict from the besieged viewpoint of Order. Forged By Chaos provides readers with their first look into the dark, megalomaniacal minds of the forces of Destruction. Rife with internal conflict, shifting allegiances, and a never-ending lust for murder, we see firsthand how this unholy alliance of Destruction is just as deadly to each other as they are to the armies of Order.”

C.L. Werner explained, “Mythic Entertainment have done an amazing job capturing the twisted morality and mindset of the Forces of Destruction in Warhammer Online and it was a pleasure to tap into that for Forged By Chaos. From the grim Chaos northmen, to the treacherous dark elves and bloodthirsty greenskins, the villains in Forged By Chaos represent in-game characters I think readers will find both engaging and disturbing. The Bastion Stair, as envisioned for WAR is a truly infernal setting, a hellish crucible to try the most powerful of heroes and a fitting obstacle for the cast to overcome. Recreating this nightmarish place from the designs of the game developers was a daunting, but extremely rewarding labor.”
