WFR deliberately aims at adventures and settings with a less elevated tone - grubby fantasy, as its designers call it. WFR also invites adventures with grotesque horror elements in the Lovecraftian tradition.

The thematic tone is dark - the eventual triumph of Chaos is inevitable. The tide of Chaos may be turned, but it never recedes so far as it has advanced.
