Alias(es) Warhammer 40K; 40K 9 11

First Appearance Chapter 1; Li Wei identifies the setting by name in Chapter 9 1 9

Setting

  • The Imperium — Humanity’s ruling power in the regions Li Wei encounters. Its Inquisition, armed forces, and local authorities treat suspected contamination harshly; on Atalos, a pacification order permits the immediate execution of disobedient civilians 1 11.
  • Hive cities — Vast, vertically divided settlements. Atalos’s polluted Bottom Hive contrasts with an Upper Hive of nobles, guarded passages, and luxury establishments 11 15 16.
  • The Warp — A source of psychic power, daemonic threats, and dangerous travel. Ships rely on Gellar Fields for protection during Warp jumps 9 30.
  • Technology and ritual — Machines are often treated as possessing “Machine Spirits.” Li Wei repairs a ventilation fan and opens a locked freight elevator through mechanical work rather than the prayers others expect 8 13.

Li Wei’s Knowledge of the Setting

  • Li Wei recalls fragments of Warhammer lore from an Earth roommate, but initially has little practical knowledge of the world he has entered 9.
  • He first hopes to reach Ultramar, judging its worlds more livable than Atalos, but lacks the money and identification needed for passage 11.
  • A Necron system later forces an immense store of historical and technical data into his mind. It helps him analyze machines and threats, but threatens his memory and mental stability 43 44 45.
  • On Medusa, he accepts work as Clan Raukaan’s chief logic purifier in exchange for technology intended to suppress that data’s erosion of his mind 50.
