From warlords like the cunning goblin king Skarsnik and the murderous skaven chieftain Queek Headtaker, to the noble dwarfs seeking to save or reclaim these war-torn halls for their kin, like Thorgrim Grudgebearer, all have a stake in the fate of the notorious Karak Eight Peaks. This omnibus edition charts three bleak episodes in the history of the doomed Karak Eight Peaks and its fall to annihilation and infamy. But the history of the dwarfs is riddled with tragedy, and none more so than the lords of the Eight Peaks, whose holds were devastated by earthquakes and ravaged by the predations of goblins, ratmen and even darker horrors. Many a dwarf king looked on with envious eyes at this sprawling mountain fastness. Once, during the great Golden Age of the dwarfs, Karak Eight Peaks was a beacon of prosperity and unbridled wealth. This omnibus contains five stories that lay bare the battles to hold this mountain realm.Ĭlassic stories from the world-that-was focus on renowned heroes of the goblins, skaven and dwarfs as they fight to claim the fabled Eight Peaks.

Furthermore, new and better defences will be put in place – to ensure Karak Eight Peaks can never again be wrested from its rightful owners. Powerful weapons will be retrieved from within the Ancestor Tombs and ranged against prospective foes. Beneath the city, Dwarf Miners and Engineers will re-open seams where possible and dig new ones when not. Their job will be to repair the damage to the structure caused by years of Greenskin neglect and abuse, before more Dwarfs arrive to polish the interior, reactivating the great glowing stones attached to the ceilings and filling the halls with light for the first time in many a year. That’s just the start, however - the piles of rubbish and poo left behind by the urks must be immediately cleaned up as a dire threat to public health (no small feat in itself) and then an army of masons and carpenters will be sent in. To return Karak Eight Peaks to its former glory working parties must be sent out to clear away the massive piles of dead Goblins, Orcs and other assorted filth that have accumulated. After many centuries of occupation by those who care little for beauty in architecture and craftsmanship – and indeed not defecating right where they sleep and then throwing it all over the place – the once-great fortress has fallen to wrack and ruin. Should honest Dwarfen folk inhabit the great citadel of Karak Eight Peaks once more, now its reconstruction can begin.
