The Immaterium, also known as the Warp, the Sea of Souls, or the Realm of Chaos, is a nightmarish alternate dimension of pure psychic energy. It's not so much a place as it is a formless ocean of raw emotion and thought—almost like a dark, twisted mirror of our material reality. At its core, the Warp exists because sentient life exists. Every thought, dream, feeling, or emotion has a ripple effect on the Warp. It’s a feedback loop: sentient life creates psychic energy that swirls into the Warp. This is why it's often described as chaotic—it doesn't adhere to the usual rules of time, space, or logic. Instead, it operates on something akin to dream logic, where concepts like direction, distance, or gravity are irrelevant. What’s so terrifying about the Warp is how unnatural it feels. It defies reason and operates on emotional logic. Without a Gellar Field—the shield that protects a voidship and its crew—travel through the Warp would be fatal. The ship would be overwhelmed by the psychic maelstrom, torn apart by its currents, or worse—infested by Daemons.
