Clan Skurvy
Clan Skurvy is a powerful Skaven Clan that deals with water transport for the Under-Empire. [1a]
The stronghold of the clan is located beneath city of Tobaro in Tilea. [2a]
The clan runs and maintains the barges, scows, piers and warehouses that are vital to trade and the skaven economy. In particular they ensue that food and slaves reach Skavenblight in substantial amounts and before they are spoiled, this gives the clan tremendous reach, power and influence across skavendom - they also conduct piracy. Skaven in the clan often have an affinity for the water, something that seems mad to many others of their race. [1a]
