Clan Eshin is a mysterious Great Clan of the Skaven.
In the ancient past Clan Eshin travelled to the east, led by Grey Lord Visktrin. Eventually all contact was lost and for centuries its fate was unknown.
It travelled further and further to the east, establishing themselves under Ind, Cathay and Nippon. Studying the surrounding human civilizations, it learned the arts of stealth, infiltration, and assassination.
At the height of the First Skaven Civil War Clan Eshin re-established contact with larger Skavendom, offering its loyalty and services to the Council of Thirteen. This act largely decided the fate of the civil war.
Its adepts were able to infiltrate any Skaven fortress. It was through the adepts of Clan Eshin that the Council of the Thirteen was able to to assassinate several rebel Warlords. Most of the remainder saw the wisdom to change their allegiance towards the council.
During the Second Skaven civil war Clan Eshin remained neutral and sold its services for the highest bidder.
The current leader of Clan Eshin is Nightlord Sneek, a member of the Council of Thirteen. His main agent and chief assassin of Clan Eshin is Deathmaster Snikch.
The main asset of this clan are its trained murderers.
- Night Runners are recruits, and most of them will die in their first missions.
- Gutter Runners are more experienced killers.
- Assassins are elite killers. They operate mostly alone but can be hidden inside a Skaven army unit waiting for the right opportunity to kill an enemy champion in the confusion of battle.
