Secrets of Clan Eshin
1) Clan Eshin has infiltrated all four major Clans in relative high positions, and is feeding the Clans false information, sowing dissent and inciting mayhem.
2) Clan Eshin is becoming embroiled in an unauthorized plot. They are interfering in the politics of Imperial Cathay, secretly supporting a rival faction opposing the Emperor.
3) Clan Eshin is loyally dedicated to the Cult of the Horned Rat, and is entirely under the disposal of the Cult and the Grey Seers.
4) Clan Eshin has a secret society within it. Rivals of the Lord Sneek the Nightlord of Clan Eshin have turned to the worship of Khaine for power to usurp the Nightlord.
5) Clan Eshin has secretly taken over Clan Blackfur and is using it as a cover for operations.

Secrets of Clan Khesherisk
1) The long life of the Grey Lord Azarskittar has been attributed to its cannibalistic diet, but the Grey Lord is actually kept alive by some manner of Vampirism, consuming the life force of living beings.
2) Smarting from the defeat of Clan Pestilens, Clan Khesherisk is seeking an agent to unleash one of Clan Pestilens plagues within its steamy Lustria home domain.
3) Seeking to repeat its previous success during the crusades, Clan Khesherisk has begun, in violation of Council Law, of bribing and dealing with the humans of Araby to actively promote another crusade.
4) Clan Khesherisk is vengefully plotting to expose Clan Pestilen’s lairs in Araby to the Cult of Ormazd. This is an outright violation of Council Law.

Secrets of Clan Moulder
1) Clan Moulder has been exposing captured Skaven to Warpstone, in hope of breeding a master race of Skaven. This manner of behavior would be upset all other Clans, knowing the fate of their Clan who had fallen prisoner to Clan Moulder over the years...
2) Clan Moulder has been long experimenting on humans in a number of foul ways, and has created bizarre hybrids.
3) Clan Moulder has trained a small number of Rat Ogres to turn upon their masters when a specific high pitch whistle is sounded. They are planning on selling these specially trained Rat Ogres to Clans they plan on betraying and attacking.
4) Clan Moulder sells only sterile mutants to the other Clans, giving them a monopoly on the beasts. Lately some plotting has begun by other Clans to gain the original breeding animals. But this could merely be a trap set by Clan Moulder to discover who their hidden enemies are.

Secrets of Clan Pestilens
1) Clan Pestilens is in control of a Slann laboratory in Lustria. From this abandoned complex they initially developed their plagues. It now serves as a temple to their cult. They may have use of small amounts of lost Slann technology. They also have a portal system of a single portal operating between the complex in Lustria, and a hidden lair in the Southlands. This allowed Clan Pestilens to quickly infiltrate the Southlands, and is an important means of communication. The Skaven warriors that travel through the portal are told it is an enchantment of the Horned Rat.
2) Some Skaven in Lustria have turned to the secret worship of the Chaos god Nurgle and are undermining the Clan Pestilens priesthood.
3) Clan Pestilens in Lustria is being ravaged by a disease that escaped from the temple, and is threatening to wipe out the entire Clan in Lustria. So far none have learned of this, and the Clan hopes to keep it secret, fearing that the plague may have spread to the Southlands...
4) Clan Pestilens is engaged in a long drawn out struggle against the Slann, who have discovered the still operative Slann laboratory and want it back
5) Turn about is fair play-the Norse have brought a number of diseases with them to Lustria, and even now the Skaven in Lustria are dying, having never been exposed to these new strains.

Secrets of Clan Skrisnik
1) The power and success of Grey Lord Skrisnik cannot only be attributed to his intelligence, but also the secret that he is one of the oldest and most powerful practicing Daemonologist in the Old World. Grey Lord Skrisnik has had dealings with a number of Daemon Princes for centuries, and as well as with the servants of the Horned Rat. It is through these creatures that he wields the power to maintain his position on the Council.

Secrets of Clan Skryre
1) Clan Skryre has been sinking new technology and knowledge, and has relied on human agents abducting human scientists and inventors. They have also been involved in a few raids on Chaos Dwarf citadels. The Council is aware, but has given silent consent...for now...
2) Clan Skryre, when it seized and held the Horned Rat’s Temple in Skavenblight during one of the Skaven civil wars, has built a number of secret entrances into the temple, that to date have not yet been discovered.
3) Clan Skryre has been hoarding Warpstone, and is getting ready to begin a new push for power. They are going to attempt to consolidate their hold on Tilea, and weaken the grip of all other Clans in the region.
4) Word has leaked out that Clan Skryre is working on some sort of new weaponry of awesome power.

Secrets of the Cult of the Horned Rat and the Council
1) The Council could very well be aware of any or all the Clan secrets listed above, and is merely biding its time to use the information to use against the individual offending Clans.
2) The Council and the Cult keep track magically of all the Warpstone Tokens by means of secret enchantments put upon the Tokens. They then have an idea of the relative wealth and trade of the Clans.
3) The Council is starting to flex its muscles again, and is attempting by covert means, to bring various Warlord Clans together. Rumor has it that they plan an excursion above ground again, on a monumental scale, using some foul magics, some whisper of the Black Ark...

Brave-brave SingTheScreams.
Digging up dirt in all the greater clans leaves you in a perilous position.

I wonder which one is going to get to him first?

Anyway... nice job! very interesting read!

Absolutely direct quotes...but never mind, it's annoying wading through 212 pages just to get to the bit you want.
The Skaven language is the only one to include 32 words for "friendly fire" and none for "reliability"

Book of the Rats is NOT the ratmen and their loathsome vile kin...

Book of the Rats was a back-ground book for warhammer roleplay, and is online downloadable... warhammer.net is down, so I'd use google to search it if I were you.

yes, thats straight from bok of the rat, but what i was going for was how this stuff kinda correlates to the SoC. look

3) The Council is starting to flex its muscles again, and is attempting by covert means, to bring various Warlord Clans together. Rumor has it that they plan an excursion above ground again, on a monumental scale, using some foul magics, some whisper of the Black Ark... this is fairly obvious, it's the skaven involvement in SoC (taking delberz)


4) Word has leaked out that Clan Skryre is working on some sort of new weaponry of awesome power
project supremacy baby!


2) Clan Moulder has been long experimenting on humans in a number of foul ways, and has created bizarre hybrids.
*cough FLAYERKIN *cough*



oh and by the way, the table of contents doesnt correlate (in my version anyways), so screw that. also, clan blackfur is a clan in the worlds edge mountains. i think on the blasted lands side. relatively close to cathay...

About the correlations... THAT'S CREEPY! But I think GW could have had a version as well, otherwise it's horribly the same!

Sounds like a really cool diorama... a nice (broken down) church and a seer preaching the squeek of the horned rat!
