create the vortex of magic to drain the energy of Chaos away from the world.
(Warhammer armies: Realm of Chaos)

tradition holds that Grimnir closed the mighty Chaos Gate after battling with Chaos
Gods thereby saving the world from certain doom. (Warhammer armies: Dwarfs)

-4500 The disappearance of the other Ancestor Gods. Shortly before Grimnirs
disappearance the Dwarfs and the Elves meet for the first time, and friendly relations
are established between the two races. (Warhammer armies: Dwarfs)

-4119 In this year Malekith of the Elves and Snorri Whitebeard the High King of the
Dwarfs combined their mighty armies and finally drove out the last remnants of
Chaos from the Old World. Afterwards trade between the Dwarfs and the Elves

Dwarfs)

land apart. (Warhammer armies: Dwarfs)

-2005 The Great Betrayal mars relationships between Dwarfs and Elves. Dwarf traders are
ambushed and murdered, Dwarf settlements are plundered and honest Dwarf
craftsmen cheated of their gold. The Dwarfs believe the elves are to blame. Their
attackers are in fact Dark Elf raiders sent by Malekith to sow dissent between the two
races. Many Elves are slain by Dwarf travellers believing themselves under attack.
The Elves retaliate in kind. Soon both sides begin to muster their armies.
(Warhammer armies: Dwarfs)

-2000 Birth of Nagash. (Warhammer armies: Undead)

-1997 Dwarf High King Gotrek Starbreaker sends an ambassador to Ulthuan in a last ditch
attempt to prevent a war. Dwarf demands for fair recompense for Elf hostilities are
met with arrogance and the ambassador is thrown out. As a final insult the Elves
shave off the Dwarf ambassadors beard, and it is from this incident that the
following war takes its Elf name of the War of the Beard. The Dwarfs, not a people
 to take such matters lightly, refer to the conflict as the War Against the Elves, or the
War of Vengeance. (Warhammer armies: Dwarfs)

-1974 Snorri Halfhand, son of the High King, is slain by the Phoenix king Caledor II after

beyond that of ordinary mortals they shun light and seek out cool dark places to hide
from the burning day.
Nagash starts the construction of the Black Pyramid of Nagash. (Warhammer armies:
Undead)

-1948 The Elf city of Athel Maraya is burned to the ground by a Dwarf army led by
Morgrim. (Warhammer armies: Dwarfs)

-1750 Construction of the Black Pyramid of Nagash is completed, it is one of the largest
structures ever built by man, dwarfing even the Great Pyramid of Khemri.
The Priest Kings of the subject kingdoms of Khemri empire of Nehekhara become
afraid of Nagashs power and form a great confederation against him, led by the
Priest King of Lahmia, Prince Lahmizzar. The being that will be known as the Dread
King create his own death so he may rise again once the Priest Kings have destroyed
Nagashs kingdom. (Warhammer armies: Undead & WD: 237)

-1666 Chaos attacks against Naggaroth. Battle of Despair. Naggaroth is saved after a

Neferata, to send Nagashs Black Library to her in Lahmia, where she start to emulate
Nagashs works. The Priest Kings of Lahmia rule the empire of Khemri for many
years, and during this time the empire breaks down. The last city state to break away
from Lahmia rule was Khemri, during a revolt led by General Setep (who claims the
throne of Khemri), the Priest Kings of Lahmia return to their lands. (Warhammer
armies: Undead & WD: 237)

-1600 Nagashs wanderings take him to Cripple Peak, a mountain by the shores of the Sour
Sea. Cripple Peak contains a massive chunk of glittering warpstone, the largest in the
world. Nagash begins to experiment with warpstone but so corrosive is the influence
of this huge chunk of pure Chaos that Nagash is forced to use ever more potent
necromantic magics to hold onto his unlife, becoming the first Liche. (Warhammer
armies: Undead)

-1560 The Battle of Three Towers at the gates of Tor Alessi. The Dwarfs defeat the Elves in
a cataclysmic battle for mastery of the Old World. High King Gotrek Starbreaker
 kills the Phoenix King Caledor II and takes the Phoenix Crown as recompense for the
many wrongs suffered by his people. The High Elves and Sea Elves abandon the Old
World. The Elves of the Old World retreat into the forests of the Old World.
(Warhammer armies: Dwarfs)

-1500 After the end of the war the Dwarf Empire enjoys only a few years of peace before
the World Edge Mountains are riven by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The
Dwarfs refer to this disaster and ensuing period of anarchy as the Time of Woes. The
records of many strongholds are lost or disrupted for a time, and even the Great Book
of Grudges in Karaz-a-Karak falls strangely silent.
From what records remain it is clear that many Dwarfs were slain and countless
mines and small settlements destroyed. Even the larger holds were badly damaged as
great rents opened in the earth and whole levels were swamped with molten lava.
The Underway is partially ruined and blocked in many places, cutting the strongholds
off from one another.
The following period is known as the time of the Goblin Wars, although if truth be
known the dwarfs foes included Orcs, Ogres, Trolls, Skaven and all manner of other
evil creatures. These came in the wake of disaster, invading strongholds and
destroying what little the earthquakes had left intact. The first hold to fall is Karak
Ungor in the Imperial year 1500. This hold is taken over by Night Goblins and is
known thereafter as Red Eye Mountain. (Warhammer armies: Dwarfs)
Nagash realises that used in small quantities warpstone can be a powerful aid to his
dark sorcery. Lacking followers he begins to experiment with formulas of the Dread
Kings making on corpses and skeletons and succeeds in animating them. He uses his
Undead slaves to excavate mines and start construction of Nagashizzar, the Cursed
Pit.
Primitive human tribesmen start worshiping Nagash as a god, this leads to their
devolution into the corpse-eating race of Ghouls and start the foundation of a
powerful empire around the Sour Sea. The dust from the mines starts the creation of
the Desolation of Nagash. (Warhammer armies: Undead)

-1499 Karak Varn, already flooded when earthquakes split the rock apart allowing water
into the lower workings, it is destroyed by Skaven and Night Goblins. (Warhammer
armies: Dwarfs)

outnumbered Dragonback Dwarfs. In this year and afterwards the watchtowers of
Mad Dog Pass are abandoned or seized by Goblins. (Warhammer armies: Dwarfs)

-1457 The gold mines at Gunbad fall to the Night Goblins after many years of sporadic
fighting. Gunbad was the largest and richest mine in the World Edge Mountains and
the unique source of Brynduraz or Brightstone, a brilliant blue crystal rock much
valued by Dwarf craftsmen. (Warhammer armies: Dwarfs)

-1387 Beginning of the Silver Road Wars. Battle rages around Mount Silverspear, the
richest remaining Dwarf mine. (Warhammer armies: Dwarfs)

further and renames his conquest Mount Grimfang, a name it has borne ever since.
(Warhammer armies: Dwarfs)

-1362 The Dwarfs abandon the last of their mines and smaller settlements in the eastern part
of the World Edge Mountains. (Warhammer armies: Dwarfs)

-1350 The empire of Nagash reaches the height of its power. Nagashizzar is completed and
the Desolation of Nagash now covers most of his empire.
The Skaven are drawn by the huge mass of warpstone at Cripple Peak and launch a
war against Nagash, but the Great Necromancer is now so powerful that his legions
drive them back, but the war continues. (Warhammer armies: Undead)
-1250 About this time the volcano Thunder Mountain, long quiet since the Time of Woes,
erupts once more driving Orcs, Goblins and Trolls northwards. They attack Dwarf
prospectors and miners. The settlements of Valhorn and Budrikhorn south of Karaz-
a-Karak are destroyed by rampaging Trolls. The following attempts to contain and
drive out these creatures are known as the Troll Wars. (Warhammer armies: Dwarfs)
The war between the Skaven and Nagash ends, and a settlement is reached between
Nagash and the Skaven Council of Thirteen. The Skaven lure several tribes of Orcs
and Goblins into the Cursed Pit in return for warpstone mined below Cripple Peak.
(Warhammer armies: Undead)

-1245 King Morgrim Blackbeard leads his forces southwards. After several pitched battles
he drives away the Orcs and other evil creatures from the Mountains north of Mad
Dog Pass. Another Dwarf army led by Logazor Brightaxe heads east and succeeds in
recapturing Mount Gunbad, but is forced to abandon the mines when Orc
reinforcements arrive. Mount Sliverspear is attacked by Dwarfs but the army is
compelled to return westward when a horde of Trolls and Ogres moves towards
Karaz-a-Karak. The horde is successfully repulsed from the Dwarf capital and the
bodies of many Trolls are piled into a huge mound and burned. Over the following
three hundred years the Dwarfs continue to re-establish their hold over and under the
mountains. The Underway is partially cleared in places, and some minor settlements
retaken. The tombs of ancestors destroyed in the Time of Woes are refurbished.
(Warhammer armies: Dwarfs)

and WD: 237)

-1200 The Queen Neferata, and the other Priest Kings of Lahmia who follow her Blood cult,
becomes aware of the Great Necromancers presence and send emissaries to him.
Rumour of the deprave and dark acts of the Blood cult reaches the other Priest Kings
of Nehekhara, and Setep, ruler of Khemri, successor, Alcadizaar, uses this to his own
ends. He gathers the other Priest Kings in a alliance and conquers Lahmia. Seven
great Vampire Lords escape the fall with their followers and other vampires to the
home of Nagash, Nagashizzar, wher they are welcomed. The Abhorash of the Blood
and his followers do not head to the Nagashizzar, but head north into the Old World,
where they become the Blood Dragon bloodline. The followers of the dead Vampire
Lord Wsoran Lord of Knowledge also head north into the Old World where they
become the Necrarch bloodline. (Warhammer armies: Undead, Warhammer armies:
Vampire Counts and WD: 234, 235 and 237)

-1185 An expedition led by Runesmith Kadrin Redmane clears the ruins of Karak Varn,
driving the Skaven down into the deepest Underhalls. He discovers a rich vein of

-1163 Nagash launches a sudden war on the Priest Kings of Nehekhara. However the Priest
Kings are now united under King Alcadizzar, and under his formidable leadership

upon the land and waits. (Warhammer armies: Undead)

as the Skaven sweep in and take over the Cursed Pit, he dies shortly after, drowning
in Blind river.
However the Undead of Nehekhara raised by Nagashs Great Ritual remain animated,
spreading terror where ever they go, and creating the Land of the Dead. (Warhammer
armies: Undead)

-1149 Arkhan the Black, the only one of Nagashs lieutenants to be buried instead of burned
by his enemies, sacks the city of Bel-Aliad. Precipitating what later Arabian
chroniclers will call the Wars of Death. For the next 1,000 years Arkhan raids the

civilisation that ruled these lands is reduced to a few weakened city states and handful
of desert tribes. (Warhammer armies: Undead)

-1136 Kadrin Redmane is ambushed and killed beside the shore of Black Water while
