Lizardmen History Pt2 | Warhammer Old World Lore

September 9, 2026 · 1 h 4 min

Show notes

In our Warhammer Old World lore dive episode 89, we explore the Lizardmen’s Age of Isolation, when the survivors of the Great Catastrophe struggled to rebuild a civilisation whose original purpose was slowly being forgotten. As the Slann retreated into centuries of contemplation, Skink priests governed the temple-cities, ancient technology became sacred ritual, and the vanished Old Ones became gods. We follow the bloody first encounter with the High Elves, the sinking of Chupayotl and isolation of the Southlands, and the first signs that even Slann memories were beginning to fail. Finally, Lord Quex’s geomantic realignment unleashes the Dwarfs’ Time of Woes, topples Skytitan strongholds, breaches Cathay’s Great Bastion and helps scatter the Skaven across the world— catastrophic lab failure or exactly what the Old Ones intended?
