History

Age of Myth

Fleeing from the light of reason of their creator god, Teclis, the Cythai splintered into six factions and sought the deep places of the Mortal Realms. [1a]

Colonists from the powerful enclave of Ionrach established a city, Galanaur in an area of sweeping dunes and debris in the Maithnar Sea in the Realm of Ghyran. [1c]

Age of Chaos

Later they discover that their sprawling city-state lies atop the shell of a vast creature – a great Scaphodon and eventually the creature will travel to the Realm of Ghur, seeking the warmer waters of the Atleus Ocean. [1c]

The new enclave joined with the Dhom-hain enclave to destroy a powerful Bonesplitter fleet in the Realm of Ghur, killing tens of thousands of orruks. [1a]

Age of Sigmar

A motley Skaven fleet of vermin-infested creatures and unstable submarines attacks the home of the Nautilar, destroying spires and invading the great beast on which their capital is built. For six years the battle rages across the hundreds of miles that the city is spread across. Eventually, High King Volturnos leads Ionrach forces and Stormcast Eternals allies to help relieve the siege. Although the skaven are finally defeated, the damage to the enclave is immense. [1a]
