The Shadow of the Gods is a story that tells the tale of the Man Gods, and how they were created and ultimately fell into death. The Shadow of the Gods is a spin-off of the War of the Ancients background story and fills in the further stories of what the Noble Titans have attempted throughout the centuries, and is thus a part of the War of the Gods Series.

The Shadow of the Gods is told from the POV of many different characters with the Titan that created the Man God or at least was the main proponent of creating the Man God being the POV and then his chapter would be followed by the Man God of whom would detail the fall of his life.

The Story begins with the great debate between Astropos and Aryes over the success and failure of the Empire of Numeron, and how they would do things differently if given the chance. Astropos comes up with the idea of raising a single man to rise within the human realms, and chooses Cathay as the spot to start beleiving the defeat of the Charr would deal a terrible blow to the Chaos forces. Yen Fang rules for generations until he is eventually killed by Chaos assassins worried that his future plans of utterly raising the Charr were going to weaken Chaos's hold over Asia. Aryes appears in the next chapter to comfort his friend Astropos of whom is devestated by the death of Yen Fang and retreats into Olympas, but instead of feeling down about it Aryes sees the success this has had on Cathay and targets northern Europe for his uplifiting. Sigmar using the power given to him by Aryes dominates the Teutons, and after fighting a terrifying number of foes he is victorious and founds The Empire of which he grows for many years. Sigmar would near the end come to be tricked by Malekor into going after the Chaos forces hidden in the mountains, and while he would succede in this endevour he died while fighting against them.
