We explore the game's inception, the challenges of scaling up production to meet massive demand, and the deep, horrifying lore of a Great War that never ended. From the Iron Sultanate to the Heretic Legions, Tuomas gives us an inside look at designing a world where faith and firepower collide. Plus, hear the story of how a John Blanche painting terrified a framer!
