The Bastion Stair Oldhammer to the lands of Khorne the Chaos God of Blood

What are the Bastion Stairs and how big are they?

The Bastion Stairs in the Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40,000 universes, particularly related to the Chaos God Khorne, are typically depicted as a massive and intimidating structure, though specific dimensions are not often detailed in the lore. Khorne, known as the Blood God, is associated with war, bloodshed, and wrath, and his domains are designed to reflect these themes dramatically and grotesquely.

In the context of Warhammer Fantasy, particularly in games like “Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning,” the Bastion Stairs serve as a dungeon area representing the path leading into the Realm of Chaos, specifically Khorne’s domain. It’s depicted as a grand, terrifying fortress with endless steps soaked in blood and skulls, embodying the brutal and bloodthirsty nature of its patron deity.

The scale of such a structure in the lore is meant to be monumental, likely spanning miles with countless steps, each designed to intimidate and challenge those who dare tread them. The exact size isn’t quantified in linear measurements but is intended to be overwhelming and labyrinthine, a fitting tribute to the god of war and blood.

In both universes, structures associated with the Chaos Gods, and especially Khorne, are less defined by their physical dimensions and more by their thematic depth and the emotional response they evoke, aligning with the immeasurable and surreal nature of the Chaos itself.
