A map, showing the seas, shores, and lands of the Warhammer World.

The Warhammer World is a planet in which several races and civilizations struggle for survival.

The planet seems to orbit a single sun. Its orbit has been changed by the Slanns, by order of the Old Ones, bringing it closer to its sun. This created a more temperate climate, more suitable for the existence of live.

Two moons orbit the planet, one being Morsleib. Morsleib is probably made by Warpstone as meteors of Warpstone, coming from Morsleib, fall upon the planet. The moon also carries out a highly irregular orbit around the planet, and the position of Morsleib seems to have major influence upon the Winds of Magic.

Obeying their masters the Slaans also built one, or perhaps two, Stelar gateways: one is confirmed to be on the North Pole and the other one is reportedly located on the South Pole. These gates eventually malfunctioned and the forces of Chaos erupted trough them.
