History
When Sigmar sought to unite the tribes, Siggurd of the Brigundians pledged that not only his tribe but the Menogoths and the Merogens would join if he slew the Dragon Ogre Skaranorak. [2a] A week after the monster was slain, the four kings - Sigmar, Siggurd, Henroth and Markus swore an oath over the tusks of Skaranorak. [2b]
Over the next few years their lands were overwhelmed by a massive greenskin invasion, their king was besieged in his stone castle until Sigmar gathered an vast army with the other kings to relieve them. [2c]
At the Battle of Black Fire Pass they were on the right flank of the battleline when the Menogoths suffered heavy losses, first to blood-maddened wolves and then to bolt throwers, forcing them to retreat but this left the flank of the Merogens open and many of their warriors were quickly butchered, the right flank beginning to crumble. [1d] Little more than a thousand of their tribe and the Menogoths survived the orc invasion. [3a]
In the summer of 1 IC, Sigmar called for a great muster against Marius of the Jutones and with their allies, he marched on him with a combined force of around 10,000 warriors including two hundred Merogen warriors. [3b]
