Delving into the lore of EA Mythic's Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning can be a daunting task for any but the staunchest of gamers. Fortunately for those without the time (or the patience) to go digging up facts about the game, the developers have decided to release bits of information in small manageable doses, like the latest Zone overview of The Chaos Wastes.

The Chaos Wastes or Umbra Chaotica is located to the North of the Empire of Men. Desolate, frigid, and seething with corruption, the area is a buffer between this world and the Realm of Chaos.

Due to its proximity to the chaos realm, power-hungry individuals seeking to gain the favor of the dark gods regularly hold pilgrimages to the area. These trips often turn bloody as those who undertake them seek to show their gods that they are indeed worthy to be bestowed with the blessings of their deities.
