THE RATS' TALE!

"Destroy them in their homes. Take their young for our numbers. Flay the Man-Things alive. Let all creatures know the power of Clan Botul!"
—Lord Festisk the Corpulent, Warlord of Clan Botul

Clan Botul built its stronghold deep in the jungles of Lustria. The boastful Lord Festisk the Corpulent sits there upon a grand palanquin surrounded by remnants of broken Skaven clans. Due to dealings with Clan Pestilens, Clan Botul grew in power. For the shrewd Lord Festisk allows his followers to be test subjects for Pestilens viruses and diseases. Together, this uneasy alliance allows Festisk to grow fat and loud in his power.

The Skaven of Botul are formed from the broken remnants of smaller Clans. It is not even certain if any Skaven remain from the time before Lord Festisk took power. Yet all the Skaven obey his rule, with the armies marching in fearful obedience. Warlord Festisk, the rotund architect of the Clan's growth, longs to sit upon the Council of Thirteen. He covets the positions of Warlords Doomclaw and Gnawdell, both of whom he haughtily sees as inferior.

Yet the Clan's future, and that of the Warlord himself, is intrinsically tied to the whims of the Plague Priests of Clan Pestilens. While there are viruses and plagues to test, Clan Botul will be useful. After that day, however, there use will swiftly run out.

CLAN BOTUL MANSLAYERS

For Lord Festisk's amusement, the Manslayers were formed. Garbed in the putrid greens of the toxic pools Clan Botul call home, the Manslayers vie to prove the superiority of Skavenkind and their Clan.

Stabikch Killclot, the first captain of the team, was formerly a member of a rookie team in Skavenblight. To Lord Festisk, this was enough to place the pressure of the entire team on. Fail and Stabikch will lose his head, succeed and he will survive until he eventually fails.
