It is a world of grim and perilous adventure, where loathsome rat-men plot and conspire, where the hordes of Chaos tumble out of the north.  One's neighbour may just well be a vile Mutant, and Witch Hunters prowl the lands, burning and killing any they suspect of being in league with the Ruinous Powers.  Mortals have only one recourse in the face of this horror and suffering: the Gods.  Yet despite their great power, theses deities are not the sheltering patrons of mortality.  Rather, they are inexplicable forces of nature, often as dangerous as those from whom mortals seek protection.  They must be placated, appeased and worshipped if their dreadful attentions are to be drawn.  Tome of Salvation provides a detailed look at religion in the Empire, exploring faith's role and function within the nation's convoluted and complex society.  Inside this massive sourcebook you will find:
