Clan Rictus
Clan Rictus is a powerful Warlord clan.
The World-that-Was
Its stronghold is Crookback Mountain in the Dark Lands and its leader is Warlord Kratch Doomclaw, a member of the Council of Thirteen.
Clan Rictus breeds a prodigious amount of giant, black-furred Skaven, and is unmatched by any other Clan in the number of the elite Stormvermin it is able to field.
The Clan mainly uses Crookback Mountain as a base for slaving and mining operations - capturing Goblins and mining the iron and copper beneath the mountain. From the stronghold, the Skaven also frequently raid Mount Grey Hag and Mount Grimfang for more Goblin slaves. Most of these captives end up laboring in the mines beneath the stronghold, others are used to supply the Under-Empire with slaves, and the rest are simply eaten. [1]
Clan Rictus also undertakes patrols through the Dark Lands in order to retrieve the warpstone meteors that fall east of the Worlds Edge Mountains.
