Qhreekhul’s Campaign

Even amongst the ranks of a species known for being conniving and ambitious the Grey Seer Qhreekhul One-Horn seems worse than most.  He has commenced a campaign to elevate his standing further, buying alliances from many small clans with either warptokens or political favours or who knows what else.  He plans to wage war on the enemies of the Skaven; attracting ever more Clans to his banner as he does so.

He demands that his inferiors (to his mind, everyone) call him The Exalted Qhreekhul, but he has many other titles including Prophet of The Scurrying Death, Most Clever-Clever One, Teller of Things, and Lord One-Horn.

Qhreekhul rides to battle atop his specially bred Rat Ogre Mount – Big-Big One – a gift from Clan Krust to the Grey Seer to cement their alliance.

Qhreekhul has sealed a kin-pact with another Grey Seer – Qurenk the Deaf, who brings with him a great and terrible Screaming Bell.  Qurenk may act subservient to Qhreekhul, but will most likely stab him in the back as soon as the time is right, but such is Skaven life.

It seems that Qhreekhul has perfected the dangerous summoning ritual for one of the Verminlords, powerful daemons of the Great Horned Rat – he has formed a bond of sorts with the entity known as The Scurrying Death.  Perhaps Qhreekhul’s campaign is indeed blessed by the Great Horned Rat!

Amongst the Clans already allied to Qhreekhul’s campaign are:

Clan Rekkit

A poor but savage Warlord Clan, what they lack in resources they make up in numbers.  An easily bought source of fodder for Qhreekhul’s battles, the promise of riches and a fancy war panoply where enough to bring the Rekkit into the fold.

Zikrit Many-Kill – a Warlord and skilled fighter, Zikrit has a chip on his shoulder the size of Morrslieb and only killing seems to lift his dark mood.

Clan Krust 

A minor thrall of Clan Moulder for many years but looking to break away.  The leaders of Clan Krust have thrown their support behind Qhreekhul and he can rely on swarms of rats and bands of hulking Rat Ogres to supplement his army.

Verminmaster Vritch – a master of the breeding, training and creation of all manner of vile creatures, Vritch is keen to test his creations on the battlefield; he hopes to prove Krust’s superiority even over Moulder.

Clan Feekus 

Seeking a chance to elevate themselves in the eyes of their Clan Pestilens masters, Clan Feekus has taken the opportunity to send reinforcements to Qheekhul’s side.  They seek any opportunities to spread their vile creations and view this alliance as another such opportunity – currently they are testing out what they call the Skinpeeler Pox.  

Bubo Pox-Brewer – an enigmatic Plague Priest, Bubo cares little for the politics of the Skaven; he seeks only to spread disease in the name of the Great Horned Rat.

Clan Klunkk

Long ago Clan Klunkk stole designs from Skryre and fled, seeking to forge their own path – thought lost (or more likely wiped out by the Great Clan Skryre), most give no thought to them.  However in recent times machines and weapon teams have been seen in Qhreekhul’s forces in the colours of Clan Klunkk.

Frikiskikk Warpgnawer – appearing almost as much machine as Skaven, Frikiskikk is a Warlock Engineer and the primary contact point between the returning Clan Klunkk and Qheekhul.

Clan Sneekstab

Qhreekhul tried to make arrangements with the Great Clan Eshin to obtain some of their agents for his cause.  For now the Eshin have seen fit only to send warriors from their thralls, Clan Sneekstab; it seems they are waiting to see how things play out a little more before committing more valuable resources.

Skritritch Venomblade – although mostly used by their Eshin masters only for the simplest missions, occasionally a member of Clan Sneekstab shows enough aptitude to progress further and become an Assassin.  Skritritch is one such individual, who fights with the fearsome three-sword style.
