	The '''Dark Coil''' is a rather unusual setting/concept/sub-setting(?)/something which features in all the Warhammer novels and short stories of Peter Fehervari, not entirely unlike the sub-setting of 40k (the Sabbat Worlds, the Helican Sub-Sector) in which [[Dan Abnett]]'s novels take place. Although they take place on a few common settings or involve a few overarching general organisations, there are few direct links between characters or the main plotlines of each story, and it often takes a little extra work to spot the connections. And given the horror/psychological themes of most of Fehervari's stories, attempting to figure it out can be tricky. Or [[skub]]. Or both.

And given the horror/psychological themes of most of Fehervari's stories, attempting to figure it out can be tricky. Or [[skub]]. Or both.

			The simplest way to explain the Coil is as a subtle metaphysically (and metanarrative) pervasive force - drawing various places, individuals, and organisations deep into increasingly twisted and reflected layers of itself until said components either escape, are destroyed, incorporated, or are drawn even deeper into the folds of the Coil. Wether the Coil is a truly a deliberate, proactive phenomenon or just perverse Chaos delighting in its own contradictions has yet to be seen.

	A crucial conceit of the setting is the malleability of time and reality depending on individual perception, often aided by [[Chaos]] shenanigans. Whilst regular Lovecraftian Chaos stuff does still occur within the Coil, it's rarely as direct and clear-cut as most depictions in the fluff. The typical hallmarks of Chaotic corruption, like mentioning Nurgle or Khorne, or having easily recognizable types of daemon are rare if not nonexistent in his work. Fehervari uses the Tau to show a contrast to the Imperium, as their scientific-minded, less-zealous and xenophobic mindset provides us a great point from which to see how horrific and uncaring the Imperium really is, although he also manages to show a distinctly unique dark side to the Tau quite apart from the usual soft-Orwellian overtones they usually have.

	Attempting to unpick the Coil is tricky because most characters are unreliable narrators, insane, delusional, capable of rewriting or traversing reality to make it refit their perceptions, deliberately hiding things from the reader, or all of the above. This said, there are a few linking factors that overlap in most of the stories.

This said, there are a few linking factors that overlap in most of the stories (which are generally recommended to be read in publication order as chronological order is......tricky).

	* '''Phaedra''' - Space Vietnam. [[Catachan\|No, not that one]]. This is more specifically Space ''Apocalypse Now''.

If they don't get infected by the mutagenic fungus or poisoned by the local fauna, that is. The native human(?) population bears a resemblance to the Deep One hybrids from the work of [[H.P.

The planet also seems to have a tendency to throw certain people across time and space, only to dump them into another twist in the Coil.		* '''Phaedra''' - Space Vietnam.

Originally an endless ocean, bad things happened there and it turned into an ocean of fire. Unknown to virtually everyone who lives there, the main feature of the planet - the Koronatus Ring - was either a sewer grate for the [[Webway]] or the lock on a planet sized prison for something really really fucking bad.

	* '''Providence''' - A recent inductee into the Imperium from before the [[Dark Age of Technology]]. It was conquered in a religious crusade, initially made tricky by Providence's pro-science stance. Ironically enough, they start discovering Chaos juju after they join the Imperium. Uniquely for 40K, they are unambiguously based on the pre-20th century United States, with elements of the US Civil War thrown in. A core belief of its people is that of the "Thunderground" - a point of their lives where they face their greatest challenge that either changes them forever or ends them entirely - sometimes both at once. Other characters in the Coil face similar pivotal moments and such "Thundergrounds" have a propensity to overlap.		* '''Providence''' - A recent inductee into the Imperium from before the [[Dark Age of Technology]].

	* '''The Angels Resplendent/[[Angels Penitent]]''' - Originally two separate chapters that GW gave Fehervari permission to turn into different incarnations of the same chapter. The former were inspiring, humanistic craftsmen. The latter were [[Judge Dredd]]-calibre fun police. Both incarnations had their dark sides. The Resplendent thought getting their aspirants to walk through a Chaos-haunted forest (and situating their [[Fortress-Monastery]] near it) was a good idea. The Penitent abandoned most of their duties to the Imperium in favour of removing all the stains of their past, despite significant numbers of their chapter still doing forbidden artistic things on the down low.		* '''The Angels Resplendent/[[Angels Penitent]]''' - Originally two separate chapters that GW gave Fehervari permission to turn into different incarnations of the same chapter.
