A patrol of the Sewer Watch

The large sewers and other tunnels are an obvious weakness in the defence of the largest cities. It's the unenviable mission of the Sewer Watch to constantly patrol and control them.

Their task is a hard one; the stinking and dark sewers are natural hideouts of mutants and sometimes used by Chaos cultists. A larger threat are the Skaven, who often use the sewers as a means to infiltrate the cities above.

Emperor Mandred Skavenslayer organized the Sewer Watch in The Empire to protect the cities against future Skaven invasions.

Since that time its standing and reputation has declined. These days only the desperate and poor join the Sewer watch; many members are former brigands and criminals. Local authorities tacitly don't ask too many questions, choosing to ignore the past of new recruits.


The men of the Sewer Watch are respected in Tilea; the Skaven menace is more evident and local authorities pay well for the services of experienced mercenaries willing to work in such an odorous place.
