Founded by Skreet, a Clan Skryre Warlock, these Skaven are a splinter group from their now arch-enemies Clan Vechiare and they dwell in the largest of the old Dwarf forges beneath Karak Azgal.
History[]
Clan Skreet found a home in the old Dwarf forges of Karak Azgal, 6 levels down. A lava flow from deep within the mountain supplies the heat for the forges even now, long after the Dwarfs were driven out. From here, Warlock Skreet uses his Skryre methods to create Warpstone powered weapons. His Clan may be small, but they have a very defensible lair and their masters powerful weaponry to help them survive.[1b]
There, Skreet crafts strange weapons, constructing bizarre devices using the equipment left behind by the Dwarfs along with his own twisted Clan Skryre methods. Skreet’s Clanrats wield strange weapons infused with the power of warpstone. His appetite for the substance is insatiable, and he will stop at nothing to obtain more of it to complete his great experiment—a horrific machine, even by Clan Skryre standards.[1a]
The Infernal Machine, as it is called, harnesses the power of Warpstone, in order to create a super-Skaven Clanrat warrior. Skreet's twisted mind thought up the idea watching some of his Clan Moulder brethren at work on a Rat Ogre. Instead of creating some kind of mixture between Skaven and another race, why not create a Skaven imbued with warpstone power? So far, all of his test subjects have died, but he remains convinced he will soon succeed.[1e]
The clan includes Clan Skryre Skaven Skirmishers, several Packmasters, and an Eshin Assassin by the name of Grott.[1c][1e]
