06: Skaven Introduction | Warhammer Old World Lore

In this episode, the first of our 5 part Skaven exposé, we discuss Skaven origins encapsulated in the morbid poem “Doom of Kavzar”. We discuss the Darwinist nature of their society, clans, and their ravenous obsession with warpstone. We explore whether the Horned Rat and Nurgle are brothers from another mother or just brothers in rotted and smelly arms? We join the first great expansions from Skavenblight, after the Great Machine malfunctions, as they come into conflict with Greenskins and Dwarves and finally the shambling hordes of Cripple Peak.
