Badland game of the year edition ig3/13/2023 ![]() The Kingdom of Strygos (-1020 to -950 IC)Īlthough the Greenskins have conquered much of the northern and eastern Badlands as their own, they are still competing with the Human tribes that still held sway to the territories to the south. With Ekrund conquered and the Holds of Karak Drazh and Karak Eight Peaks besieged, the Badlands were steadily populated by the arrival of more Greenskin tribes migrating from the East. By -1498 IC, the mines of Ekrund were the first to be conquered by the Greenskins after much prolong fighting, renaming the conquered settlement now as Bloodhorn. With their fortresses cracked open, the Greenskins flooded through the Worlds Edge Mountains and began to steadily conquer all the territories of the Badlands in a matter of decades. The Dwarfs, once at the height of their power, have now become victims to the marauding hordes of Greenskins and the onset of the Goblin Wars. This territorial domination all came to an end in -1449 IC when great earthquakes shook the lands of the Old World. The innermost territories of the Badlands were never claimed by the Dwarfs due to the harsh climate and a lack of mineral wealth to be found, and as such, remained mostly as an untamed wilderness. The port-city of Barak Varr were also formed at the mouth of the Blood River and Skull River, located within the northern borders of the Badlands. To the eastern edge of the Badlands, the towering strongholds of Karak Drazh and Karak Eight Peaks were formed from the side of the mountain range as well. The Mines of Ekrund were later founded by the Angbok Clan, and in time became a proper Dwarfen stronghold in its own right, claiming the territory of all Dragonback as their own. Their territories is confined within the towering peaks of the Dragonback Mountains in the West and the foothills of the Worlds Edge Mountains to the East. Long before even the rise of both Human, Undead or Greenskin, it was the Dwarfs who were the first to truly colonise and claim a part of the Badlands as their own. ![]() The Doom of Dragonback (-1500 to -1020 IC) Humans, Dwarfs, Undead and Greenskin have once carved their own Empires into this harsh landscape. Long before Greenskin tribes stalked the lands or even when the Empire was formed by King Sigmar, the territories of the Badlands were claimed by many different races in its existence. The history of the Badlands is an extensive, going back for many thousands of years. 1.2 The Kingdom of Strygos (-1020 to -950 IC).They are looking for a rumoured Mourkain tunnel which links the Badlands to the mines of Mount Gunbad, the only source of Brynduraz in the entire Old World. Unlikely as it sounds, Dwarfs have come to the Badlands in search of the precious blue crystal Brynduraz, also called Brightstone. In the southern reaches of the Badlands dwell a great number of Ogre tribes, and they will suffer no trespassers to enter their territory.Ĭountless tribes of Greenskins have called the Badlands home over the centuries indeed, it is said that there are enough Orcs and Goblins in the Badlands to form an army big enough to invade the Old World many times over, if they could only stop fighting between themselves and reliably unite for a common cause. Ghouls stalk the craggy bluffs, black feathered carrion birds circle overhead, and packs of ravening Chaos Hounds constantly stalk for easy prey under the light of the green-lit moon. All manner of predators both living and dead prowl the wasteland. Within the lands themselves, there lie many strange rock formations that rise in twisted shapes from the barren earth, and crumbling, haunted ruins from the time of the ancient Mourkain Empire which once claimed ownership of the land in every direction. Even without the inhospitable nature of its inhabitants, the Badlands are a harsh and unforgiving landscape. To venture into the Badlands is to take your life in your own hands, for safe travel is impossible, even to those accompanied by a large and heavily armoured army. It is a land notorious for harbouring the largest concentration of Greenskin tribes outside of the Darklands, as well as containing many degenerate remnants of fallen civilisations. The Badlands is the name given to a desolate region of barren rock, arid plains and searing desert that stretches between the towering Worlds Edge Mountains and the shores of the Black Gulf located in the southernmost tip of the Old World.
