Fungorn Keep

With word of a WAAAGH! ravaging the western lake settlements, the Order of Rot sallied north to construct a fortification upon the Fungorn Foothills. However, attempts to win the hearts and minds of the locals in this area had been unsuccessful and the tribesfolk put up heavy resistance. What should have been a quick battle devolved into a series of skirmishes across the high tufts and rocky hills of Fungorn.

The tribespeople knew their lands like a sea captain sailing the oceans, and it proved difficult for the Order of Rot to tie them down for one climactic battle. Their noble leader, Pretorius, seemed to predict every move the Order made and trapped them into uncomfortable battles where the terrain was just as dangerous as the tribes themselves.

With his patience spent trying to outfight the tribes, and the Greenskins and Gargants stomping nearby, Ghungus and his Blightkings choose to infect the entire area. They tainted the farmlands and tainted the small lakes the tribes used for their water supply, and unleashed a pox among the mortals. Crippled and sickly, their resistance waned. Pretorius himself was captured with several warriors after one battle. However, after seven days of captivity, Pretorius escaped and returned to the headquarters of the tribes at a fortified keep on one of the higher foothills.

Unbeknownst to the tribespeople, Pretorius had been brutally tortured and submitted to the Great Grandfather’s blessings. It was his plan to leave captivity and deliver the tribe’s central defense to the Order. After he arrived, Pretorius snuck a vile disease inside the walls and infected most of the defenders. Within days, the tribespeople were too weak to man the walls, and Pretorius, now Pestis Poisongut, opened the gate for the Rotbringers to trudge right in.

Within days, the final skirmishes were won and the tribes came under the influence of the Maggotkin of Nurgle. With their help, the Order began reinforcing Fungorn Keep and the surrounding foothills. A series of walls and defensive placements were installed that would funnel approaching armies from the west into narrow passes or uphill approaches that would place the attackers at a disadvantage. The indoctrinated tribes would also provide the Rotbringers a sizeable fighting force to defend the Fungorn Foothills.

For his deeds, Pestis Poisongut was swollen into a blightking and gifted the title of Overseer of the Fungorn Foothills. Atop Fungorn Keep, he watches and waits for any foe that would threaten his people and home.
