Lizardmen Southlands | Warhammer Old World Lore
Show notes
In our Warhammer Old World lore dive episode 96, we explore the Lizardmen of the Southlands, the isolated eastern survivors of a civilisation created when Lustria and the Southlands were still joined. Cut off from their Lustrian kin by the loss of ancient geomantic links, cities such as Zlatlan have spent millennia interpreting the Great Plan independently, preserving unusually complete Sacred Plaques even as their Slann and Saurus populations dwindled. We examine how necessity transformed their society, with martial Skinks and Horned One cavalry assuming roles normally filled by Saurus, while expeditions venture into Nehekhara and beyond to recover stolen relics. From wars with Clan Pestilens and encounters with Araby and Cathay to mysterious ruins claimed by the undead, the Southlands reveal a distinctly different branch of Lizardmen civilisation. .
