	The aesthetic of the Imperium changes. Warhammer is visually inspired a great deal by heavy metal culture, which appeals to male geeks, but it less popular with the female ones. Catholic/Gothic elements absolutely remain, but industrial ones become a lot more subdued. Imperial architecture, technology and cybernetics look a lot more organic, possibly Giger-esque (inspired by the visuals of the manga BLAME!). Skull imagery is replaced with rose imagery (to fit with the Empress' story).		The aesthetic of the Imperium changes.

	Imperial technology is heavily based on nanotech, but it is poorly understood and regarded with spiritual reverence. The nanomechanical fluid is symbolic of the blood and water which are central to female-centric spirituality. As such, the Mechanicus now focus their worship on the black liquid "Sang Mechanica", which drives a lot of their machines. STC's are now womb-like in function, literally "growing" objects within the Sang Mechanica. Rather than becoming hideously deformed with obvious robot parts, the Mechanicus inject themselves with the Sang to attain longevity oneoness with technology. This makes them look like implant-less Borg, with pale, darkly veined skin and glowing eyes. Since they view themselves as "hideous" (in best trashy teengirl romance tradition) they hide their deformity under beatific porcelain masks and elaborate hoods. Also fitting with the themes of Lovedagger, they are no longer as machine-like in behavior - rather than replacing parts of their brain with computer, they merely augment it to Mentat-like ability while retaining emotional capacity. They do STRUGGLE to be wholly logical and passionless, but their struggle is spiritual, not neurological. They occasionally falter, and suffer from great internal anguish as a result.

	"Do not be", she answered. Her hug tightened around him. Without even noticing, she's laid her chin on his shoulder, for comfort. For a warmth that was not there, but which she could feel nonetheless. "You are as beautiful as the dawn, Icar. Beautiful as the dawn."		"Do not be", she answered. Her hug tightened around him.

	The gruff exteriors and grumbly demeanor of the dwarfs of Lovedagger hides a gentler, tenderer side. Within their hairy barrel chests beat romantic hearts which crave not gold and jewels, but true beauty in all its forms: a beautiful piece of music, ~~and~~ beautiful flower, a beautiful face. Dwarf craftsman toil for centuries in order to produce a work of impossible, unmatchable precision and ornamentation because that's what they put their heart to. By the same token, a dwarf gardener may spend centuries breeding a tulip which would be just the right hue and have the right kind of perfume, and the result would be just as impressive. The dwarfs of Lovedagger are highly sexually dymorphic: while the males are your familiar beardy vikings, the females are actually slender, graceful, and almost elfin in appearance (though still short and hairy). The dwarven appreciation for beauty extends to their own women, which are placed on a pedestal, courted from a distance and nearly worshipped. Their relative rarity makes them even more precious. Of course, that same preciousness means dwarf females aren't allowed to do much of anything, since Vala forbid they be harmed. They are dressed in the finest of garments and jewels, including face-concealing veils (to protect their honor, of course), and are expected to sit still being pretty while the males toil around them in an attempt to impress them. Naturally, in the feminist fantasy inspired world of Lovedagger, that is a Bad Thing (TM) and a proper dwarf heroine would be one who challenges the existing order by expressing a wish to become something more than a treasure: a craftswoman or warrior herself.

	**'''Krieg''': Perhaps the most unchanged group in Lovedagger. Krieg remains the heavy industrial dieselpunk german world war one guardsmen they are in canon.
