A race of perfidious ratmen, their only goal is ruination of everyone and everything else, including, and perhaps especially, their own brethren, for for Skaven, treachery, scheming and backstabbing are as natural, as breathing itself. To a Skaven, there is no such thing as pity, remorse, compassion, or cooperation. There is simply survival, survival in a cruel society that only spares those that possess the brute strength, extreme cunning, and the vicious instinct to outmaneuver and kill the opposition, no matter the cost or the body count of either friend or foe.The Skaven as a whole are a cruel, treacherous, and highly numerous species that have since spread their loathsome corruption to the farthest corners of the Mortal Realms. From deep below the very realms themselves, these creatures have built a vast empires, whose military power and incomprehensible numbers have the potential to smother the other races in a seething tide of violence and anarchy.
Out of all the civilisations of the Mortal Realms, no single race can be compared in terms of instability to that of the Skaven Empire. The Skaven race as a whole is extremely divided, often far more divided than perhaps any other race known in existence. Such disunion and ruthless lack of cooperation stems from the Skaven's insatiable need to survive, thrive, and reign tyrannically over his brethren. These division have for a long time kept the Mortal Realms safe from the Skaven threat.
No more.
With the towing of the bells of ruin, Skaven have at last united under the gaze of the patron god, the Great Horned Rat, and set in motion plan, chi shook Mortal Realms to their core and ushered all the lands onto a new Age of Chaos. As the Vermindoom struck, all other factions have been sent reeling and are only trying to stop the onslaught of the Batman an all the front at the same time.
To no avail, for every rat that dies, 3 (D3 really) take its place.
This time, the Great Horned Rat will not be denied his prize, and all of creation will be brought to ruin.
Yes yes.
