Watch Towers of Naggaroth

A Watchtower

The Watch Towers of Naggaroth are Dark Elf fortresses that guard the northern body of Naggaroth against Chaos incursions. ^[1a]

The watchtowers are helped by the sorcerous tower of Ghrond. Whenever the wild men of the North attack the Watchtowers are prepared by the visions of the future that the Sorceresses receive.

Each tower is provisioned to survive a siege of several years. ^[2b]

History

In 176 IC as his lands began to suffer from attacks from Chaos marauders, the Witch King orders the construction of a line of fortresses to forestall them. ^[1b]

A large Chaos army invading from the Chaos Wastes is detected by the towers leading to its defeat in 211. ^[1b]

End Times

As the End Times began, Valkia led the Bloodied Horde, a great army of northmen across the Ironfrost Glacier and into Naggaroth. She caught the Dark Elves off guard and took many of the towers before Volroth finally managed to warn their kin. ^[3a]
