History
In the Age of Sigmar, the fleets of Barak-Urbaz sailed to the Realm of Aqshy to aid the Fyreslayers against the daemonic hordes of Tzeentch who were attacking nine different mountain ranges in order to secure strange crystals.[1]
A fleet is dispatched to clear cults of Slaanesh from the lands surrounding a small kingdom, but when the task is accomplished instead of the gold coins that the original pallid envoy promised, the duradin are instead presented with thousands of vertebral discs, each bearing a crude image of the Carrion King. [3]

Barak-Urbaz is renowned as a cosmopolitan city even by the standards of the Skyports of the Kharadron. As such Humans, Aelves, and Gholemkind are common sites among the city's outer districts. Though the city's population still remains predominantly Duardin.[6a]

Quotes
| It was not the gods that saved us. It was not even our skyvessels, nor the thunder of our guns. It was compromise. It was negotiation. It was a transaction between equal parties. The Code saved us, and made us what we are.’ .
