Humanity has an intimate relationship with Chaos - after all, their minds feed it. Chaos is the source of the mutation that wracks the Imperium, from inhuman monstrosities to the psychically-gifted Navigators. Chaos is [[Hyperspace Is a Scary Place|the key to interstellar travel]], as ships traveling through it move much faster than they would in a rational universe - assuming they are not lost to the storms and eddies of the Empyrean or devoured by daemons. And among humans, there are always those who turn to Chaos for various reasons: bored nobles looking for a new thrill by dabbling in the occult, radical daemonhunters hoping to turn the weapons of the enemy against him, ambitious individuals making [[Deal with the Devil|dark pacts]] in exchange for power, cults and cabals plotting to turn their homeworlds over to the dark gods, or bitter souls and traitors seeking revenge. Regardless of their motivations, very few of them end up as anything more than [[Unwitting Pawn|Unwitting Pawns]] to the dark gods' plans, and horrific death is an all too common fate. Even those who manage to draw the attention of one or more of the Chaos gods may be turned into monstrous abominations called Chaos Spawn, twisted and mutated by their "blessings" and driven insane. Those that don't suffer these fates, however...[[Ascended to A Higher Plane of Existence|they can go up far]], becoming immortal and inhumanly powerful Daemon Princes.
