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. By order of the Old Ones the Slann changed it original orbit, 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 Morrslieb, the other Mannslieb. Morrslieb is probably made by Warpstone as meteors of Warpstone, coming from Morrslieb, fall upon the planet. The moon also carries out a highly irregular orbit around the planet, and its position seems to have major influence upon the Winds of Magic.
Obeying their masters the Slaan also built two Stellar 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.
