Total War: WARHAMMER Wiki

Chimera Plateau is a province introduced in Total War: Warhammer III, located in Northern Chaos Wastes.

Background[]

Beyond the Mountains of Mourn lie uplands shattered and scoured by the winds of Chaos. At the foot of the mountains a huge obelisk has been planted, a crude but definitive demarcation of where the lands of the Ogres end and those of the corrupted northmen begin. Armies of Ogres and Warriors of Chaos intermittently march to the Challenge Stone and cover it in symbols of their respective gods, goading the other side to come out and fight them in the freezing plain in savage displays of dominance.

Some of the surrounding peaks have quite literally been shorn from the land itself and float in the air, suspended by raw discharges of magic in mockery of the laws of nature. Legend has it that the last of the Sky-Titans, driven from their home by the Ogres, escaped to one of these floating mountains and live there still, far beyond the reach and knowledge of any mortal race.

What is certainly true is that these broken peaks are the home of Chimeras, rare, mysterious creatures of Chaos that are said to subsist on the winds of magic themselves. Particularly powerful Chaos Lords, or an insanely brave Chaos Sorcerer, may sometimes try to bind a Chimera to their service, for the sheer carnage they can wreak upon the battlefield is a spectacle bound to attract the attention of the Ruinous Powers. It is said that only those sorcerers truly favoured by Chaos will have any hope of binding such a creature to their will, and a champion may spend a lifetime searching for a Chimera, and never succeed, or else find their prize and be torn apart by it moments later.
