Skavnam Konvicts
P [R] Skaven

The Skavnam Konvicts were formed in 2453 by the honourable reverend Klyster Schirenk of Khverminia.

Klyster Schirenk was banished from his home town of Khvelly for crimes against moral decency (his pox-ridden disfigured face and his irritating skin condition was deemed too scary for the local children!). After skavenging around for many moons he unexpectedly arrived at the Monastery Of The Miserably Infected, on the outskirts of Khverminia. It was here, after two weeks intensive training, that he was ordained as a missionary and sent to the Skaven territories to spread the word of skin cream.

During his travels into the hinterlands of the Skaven world the reverend learned many local customs and regional dialects. He found that some local inhabitants looked at him suspiciously but for the most part ignored him as a feral animal. It was however amongst the large crowds gathered to watch Blood Bowl matches that the reverend found complete acceptance. The reverend eventually reached one of the furthest outposts of Skavlania, the island of Skavnam. Surrounded by the inland Sea Of Detritus which is fed all year round by the Sewer Rivers, Skavnam is considered the foulest colony in all the territory. An ideal location to build one of the largest maximum security penitentiaries in the Skaven world, the notorious Skavnam State Pen (SkSP).

With no followers and surviving on rat droppings Rev. Schirenk decided to settle in Skavnam and so he applied for a job as chaplain at the SkSP. Naturally as a foreigner, he would have been smoked and boiled alive to make Ratada, Skaven's favourite meat stew! Luckily for Rev. Schirenk his grotesque appearance and pungent odour allowed him to appeal to the Governor that he would not have made for an appetising main course that Sunday lunch. Moreover, as the only applicant for the position he was given the job.

Unable to educate the inmates on the joys of cleanliness, he was nevertheless adamant about bringing civilised social changes to their harsh regime. So he introduced them to Blood Bowl!

The skavage inmates immediately loved the game (which in those days was played with a shrunken Human or Elvin head). Of course they enjoyed the dirtier side of the game and casualties and cheating where common. By 2461 the Skavnam Konvicts had joined the Skaven Blood Bowl Federation (SkBBF) and their players had become eligible for the standard BB fees, of course this money went straight into the Governor's own pockets! The SkSP governing body looked on BB favourably as a means to keep the prison population down and securing funds from the SkBBF and so the team's future looked secure.

Sadly coach Schirenk succumbed to his infection in 2479 (he had already been blinded for several years!) and his body was promptly consumed (in the form of a Skavpie) by the team in a celebratory ceremony. This subsequently lead to the demise of the entire team due to acute bowel infestations. Allegations of corruption, money laundering and match-fixing soon followed and an ivestigation by the SkBBF lead to a 12 year ban and relegation to the fourth division (Skavlania Conference). This was followed by the incarceration of the entire governing body, into their own prison! For a further 10 years it looked like a new team would never get under way. However in 2501 the team re-emerged from the ashes under a new head coach (and new vice-governor of Skavnam State Pen), Globerotter Skarabus.

The Skavnam Konvicts have never won any titles, foreign or domestic. In fact, they had never played in any league or tournament match outside the four walls of their prison until very recently. But under new coach, Globerotter Skarabus, that could soon all change! A successful tour of the SkBBPL (Skaven Blood Bowl Prison League) and a newly built outdoor arena has spurred the team into global ambitions.

2504 will see the Konvicts first campaign away from their homeland, only time will tell if they have what it takes to become a key player in the International Blood Bowl Association.

Hall of fame: Rev. Klyster Schirenk (R.I.P), Ghrisnak von Skvignas (retired).
