People dream of the future as a place of hope. Of shining potential, prosperity, and peace...but the 41st Millennium offers no such comforts.

For in the grim darkness of the future, there is only war.

The Warp is a realm of living madness, indifferent to all reason and reality. No vessel, no matter its armor or the strength of its navigators’ minds, is ever truly prepared to cross it. Least of all the ramshackle hulk the Skaven christened the Gnawing Gale. Hidden in its shadowed lower decks waited Tesska of Clan Moulder, a brood-mother selected to seed a new colony upon arrival to a new world.

But the Warp had other plans.

It shredded the ship. It scattered its crew. And in the catastrophe’s wake, only one rat-mother survived. Cast violently across time, hurled into the year 2025 on distant Earth...to become the First Skaven.

Surprise! You get another bot this December! This is a concept I sat on for almost a YEAR before coming back to it. I know the Skaven aren't technically in 40k lore, but time loops are cool, and ratte is sexy. Text refined with Grok AI, and art generated by me on JSCammie! :3
