History
Age of Myth
The plateau was once ruled by the Agloraxi Empire - a hugely powerful mageocracy that had vast machine warriors and weapons capable of burning entire continents.[2]
Age of Chaos
Wanting to avoid a wasteful tribal war, the Flamescar sends their champions to fight in the Red Feast. This event results in a invasion of Daemons in the Great Parch.[3a]
As Daemons of Khorne invade the Great Parch, the tribes of Flamescar and other regions are forced to battle them. Many of these tribes turn to worship of the red gods to survive the slaughter or sate their savage lusts.[3a]
A huge portion of the Flamescar Plateau is conquered by Korghos Khul and his Goretide, so much that his empire spans between the Vostargi Mont and the Vitriolus Reach.[3a]
The Bonesplitterz of Klarikkaz Earthscar fight a guerrilla war against the daemons coming from the Clavis Eye. They are slowly driven back to the depths of their canyon, while their prophets pray to Mork for a way out.[3a]

Inhabitants
- There are many nomadic tribes and roving kingdoms that call the Flamescar Plateau their home and many try to carry on the traditions of the peoples of Aridian and Capilaria. But few survived the devastating destruction of those regions by Chaos, so their were few people to pass on the lore of those lands and much of their history and traditions are lost.[5a]
