This hard-won situation should have ensured the Dwarfen dominion over the Old World for ages to come, however in their own arrogance, the Dwarfs were fully unprepared for the catastrophe that was soon to come.

The naming of a successor as approved by a Council of Elders was (and still is) tradition amongst Dwarfs. And following traditions is, for Dwarfs, extremely gratifying and always greeted with gruff enthusiasm, this undertaking was even better, for on top of ancient tradition, it proposed a contest of deeds, a protocol which was not unheralded, as many classic sagas told of the kings of old and the great feats they did to win the Throne. In this, the High King Alriksson showed his great wisdom, for all Dwarfs are eager to prove the superiority of their clan and the preeminence of their stronghold. [1d] The Deeds of a High King ( 2304 to 2420 IC) [ ] Should the army be intercepted, retreat will be impossible; if it loses the battle it will be wiped outNeeding powerful weapons to defend themselves from these dangers, Grungni taught his people the craftsmanship of more sophisticated weapons and armour, and how to inscribe magical Runes onto them. Meanwhile, Valaya used her protections to ward off the dark magic of their enemies. To lead them against these foes was Grimnir, equipped with two mighty war-axes and armour harder than the bones of the mountains. With the blasting of horns, armies sallied forth from their strongholds and fought the daemonic hordes of Chaos that had spilled over the lands, fighting a war that many call the First Chaos Incursion. [1d] Runelords are strongly encouraged to take a wife and produce heirs. Even the most reclusive and curmudgeonly will honour this duty if at all possible; to fail is too great a shame to bear or mention.

Every single settlement of the Dwarfs suffered a calamity, as walls collapsed, mine workings shattered and lower levels flooded by subterranean waters. The mountains themselves shuddered, and in some cases broke apart to send avalanches in sweeping waves that crushed the valleys and lowlands even the Ungdrin Ankor, the subterranean Underway of the Dwarfs, fell into partial ruin. Such was the devastation brought during that time that the Dwarfs remembered it simply as the Time of Woes.

The Von Carsteins were all dead (for a given value of dead) after the Vampire Wars. With their defeat, other vampires went into hiding and became less active, waiting until the world became safe for them to emerge once more.

Rune of Oath and Honour: The Dwarfs, whose resolution and endurance is legend anyway, are driven to make an extra supernatural effort to ensure that they do their duty. With a blinding white flash of pure malevolence, a tidal wave of raw magical energy swept through the underground chambers of the city and unleashed its power upon the spine of the world. Tunnels collapsed, buildings fell, and the land began to heave and tremble. The entire undermined plain surrounding the city of Skavenblight sank as geysers of flame erupted from the tortured ground. The damage was even more devastating as the energies swept outwards. Soon the whole of the Old World began to tremble as the titanic force erupted in all directions. [1d] The steam gun shoots using the teardrop-shaped template. Place the template with its broad end over a target and its narrow end touching the muzzle of the steam gun. Any models touched are hit using the profile below: Range Millennia before the founding of the Empire or the rise of Grand Cathay in the East, the ancestors of what were to become the Dwarfen people lived in the mountains of the Southlands, little better than beasts. They lived in caves and ate berries and wild game which they could catch with their bare hands. However, with the invention of flint and basic stone weaponry, the Dwarfs were able to conquer their quest for food and indulged in other pursuits. As their numbers grew, the Dwarfs began to migrate northward, splitting off into different Clans, each lead by one of the Ancestor Gods.
