''The dread Legion of Azgorh was once the terror of the Dark Lands of the world-that-was. Bitter and twisted, masters of murderous war engines and unyielding iron, their cruelty and avarice knew no bounds, and man or beast, goblin-kind or monster – all fell before their malign wrath or were enslaved to feed the sorcerous industries and sacrificial pyres of their smoke-blackened domains.''

Background

  • Background for the 2015 Compendium

Far from the bastions of civilisation, the world-that-was was the domain of monsters and strange creatures of nearly limitless forms and macabre power. From the broken wastes to the deep and fetid swamps, and from the perilous depths to the chill mountains, it was these great beasts that ruled in elder days, and the best that the feeble arts of mankind could do was record their legends in works known as the great Monstrous Arcana.
