===Northern Wastes===
The '''Northern Wastes''' surround the North Pole. This is a frozen land covered with ice in the far north which gradually gives way to tundra and large plains. The land is peopled by the [[Northmen]], warlike and barbaric tribes who are born into the worship of the Chaos gods. During the Chaos incursions, the tribes descend as a great horde upon the civilised nations to the south. The threat from the Chaos Wastes remains constant, for when not invading as part of a great Chaos incursion, small bands pillage the civilised lands to brutally take whatever they need or desire.
* [[Plains of Ash]].{{Fn|4}}* [[Plains of Bone]]: A vast expanse of bone - the remains of those that sought to walk the path to glory but failed and whose deeds have long been forgotten.{{Fn|4}}** [[Blood Mountain]]: A volcano that vomits forth boiling-hot blood.{{Fn|4}}** [[Foetid Catacombs]]: Subterranean tunnels whose walls perpetually drip with warm ichor.{{Fn|4}}** [[Palace of Ruin]]: Claimed by many [[Chaos Champion]]s as it is the last shelter before a dangerous journey across the wasteland.{{Fn|4}}* The [[Blasted Wastes]].{{Fn|4}}* The [[Heavenward Hills]].{{Fn|4}}* '''The [[Proving Ground]]:''' Once four champions of the gods fought and died here, their followers erecting great monoliths to their respective gods which still watch over the battleground. Champions come here to make offerings and hopefully gain power to help them on the way to [[Daemon]]hood. {{Fn|2}}* The [[Shifting Monolith]]: It vanishes before reappearing, apparently at random and never in the same location.{{Fn|4}}* The [[Twisted Tower]].{{Fn|4}}
===Southern Wastes===
Surrounding the South Pole are the '''Southern Wastes'''. Containing one of the highest concentrations of [[Beastmen]] in the whole world{{Fn|1}}, this continent is thankfully separated from all others by water.
