📌 Themes & Tone

The setting of the Forsaken System is grimdark even by 40K standards — isolated from the rest of the Imperium, beset by daemonic incursions, xenos pressure, and political infighting within Imperium factions, making it ripe for stories of survival, betrayal, and heroism. (Bell of Lost Souls)
