Lizardmen History Pt3 | Warhammer Old World Lore
Show notes
In our Warhammer Old World lore dive episode 90, we explore the Lizardmen’s Age of Strife, when Lustria’s isolation finally began to collapse beneath waves of invasion, plague and colonisation. We follow the secret rise of Clan Pestilens and its devastating plague war, culminating in the fall of Chaqua, the coming of the serpent god Sotek and Tehenhauin’s century-long crusade to drive the Skaven from Lustria. Along the way, Kroq-Gar battles invading Orc tribes, Dark Elves raid sacred sites for artefacts, and the Slann continue manipulating the Geomantic Web with consequences felt across the world. Finally, new permanent threats emerge as Luthor Harkon establishes the Vampire Coast and the Norse found Skeggi, Lustria’s first lasting Human colony. By the age’s end, the Lizardmen have defeated plague, Chaos invasions and foreign raiders, but their greatest defence has been lost forever: the wider world now knows how to reach Lustria, and it is coming in ever greater numbers.
