Archaon the Everchosen has won a massive victory in the Realm of Fire and enslaved the Godbeast Ignax to his will. If he can repeat this success in the Realm of Life, not even the God-King may be able to stop him assaulting the Celestial Realm.
The Story So Far
The Scabrous Sprawl was once a rich and fertile land, dominated by massive gargants, some of them true goliaths compared to the Aleguzzlers that roam the Sprawl in the Age of Sigmar. However, Nurgle had turned his eye to the region long ago, bringing his plagues and pestilence as he had with almost every one of the Jade Kingdoms within the Realm of Life. Even the Great Green Torc, a land floating high in the sky, connected to the Sprawl by the Great Umbilicus, was overrun by Nurgle's brayherds.
They were now joined by the Skaven, tasked by Archaon with corrupting the Scabrous Sprawl yet further in preparation for the battles the Everchosen knew would be fought there. The Clans Skryre, rather than directly face the native gargants that still dwelt on the land, constructed vast walking city-warrens known as parasite engines. Powered by immense warpstone furnaces, these parasite engines crossed the Sprawl, mining its resources even as they sucked the life force from the land whenever they approached a site of geomantic power. It was now the Clans Skryre and Verminus who dominated the Scabrous Sprawl.
No sun shone upon this land, and what little lighting it had came only from the luminescence of vast swarms of insects. It was here that Sigmar opened up a new front in the Realmgate Wars, hurling several Stormhosts into the Sprawl to reclaim the land and cleanse it of corruption.
Vast armies clashed in near total darkness, a dozen smaller battles erupting whenever they met as individual units tried to seek their enemies before they were discovered themselves.
