The hold fell to orcs and goblins nearly five hundred years ago, and the dwarfs have never been able to drive out the invaders. These days, the dwarfs run the lost hold as a moneymaking enterprise, letting adventurers explore the depths... charging them a fee to enter, and a tax on any treasure they retrieve.

  Krakul Zapskratch

  An itinerant warlock engineer who at one time passes through the skaven outpost of Greypaw Hollow. It is here where he takes on a job for Grey Seer Thanquol – constructing a mechanical Boneripper.

  ‘Had it been standing, the creature would have been three times the size of its master, a towering construction of steel, bone and wire fuelled by a warpstone heart and driven by the arcane mechanics of Clan Skryre techno-sorcery. In shape, it retained a morbid resemblance to a living rat-ogre, and the warlock-engineers had even used the bones of Thanquol’s first Boneripper when assembling their creation.’
