| - The Rise of Sotek was a catacylsmic event that shook the jungle-continent of Lustria around the year of -1339 IC, a conflict that has resulted in one of the longest war ever fought between the Lizardmen Empire of Lustria and the Skavens of Clan Pestilen. This massive continental invasion ravaged the continent of Lustria for nearly 1,000 years, until the day came when Sotek, God of Serpents unleashed his holy wrath upon the ratmen clans, finally forcing the Skaven host off the continent in a mass Exodus towards the Southlands. This catastrophic event was triggered when an un-named Skaven Clan (Clan Pestilents former name) had unexpectedly found a massive tunnel that burrows its way below the Great Ocean and towards the other side of the very world, right at the heart of the Lizardmen Empire. From below the city of Chaqua, the Skavens poured forth and instigated a war that has been made legendary. Since the Skavens have little to no use of recorded history, only the Mage-Priest called the Slanns have any documented accounts of the catastrophic war, as the resulting legacy of the conflict still echoes to the very foundation of their empire to this day. The very plagues the Skavens unleash still cling on to the very stones of the cities that it has contaminated, and the corruptions were so strong that neither Sotek nor the Mage-Priest had any way to eradicate it. Only the Prophet of Sotek had managed to at the most, quarantine the corruption from leaking its way out of the city, provided that they appease their snake-god with an abundance of Skaven sacrifices.
