Death Unto Darkness is a LARP system set in a dark, character-driven interpretation of Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 universe. It focuses on stories of survival, resistance, and moral complexity within an overwhelmingly hostile galaxy. We're proud to see Games Workshop including more queer and female narratives in their work, and continue to champion those ideals which have ben engrained in our group since it began.

The Imperium is a brutal and oppressive regime, and our stories centre on characters navigating, enduring, and resisting its many forms of violence, alongside Chaos, Xenos, Heresy, and the darker edges of Imperial authority.

Death Unto Darkness is a story about the [[Servants of the Inquisition\|Servants]] of the [[Inquisition]]. It is a story about those who carry out the grim work of the Inquisition - not the powerful Inquisitors themselves, but their Acolytes and Servants who sweat blood and tears in the neverending struggles hidden in the shadows of the Imperium. These people are not heroes, though they may be heroic, because heroes get recognition and glory. These people do not. They might lead double lives where their aliases’ deeds are recognised, but only so far as they are permitted by their true masters, the secretive figures that guide the Imperium. If they try and leave then, by velvet glove or iron gauntlet, they are always dragged back despite their wishes. Ultimately, they know - and the Inquisition knows - that they have stared the truths of the universe in the face; and innocence, once lost, cannot be recovered.
