Da Moon City
Da Moon City, formerly known as Barak-Khazzar, is a former Sky-port of the Kharadron Overlords overrun by an alliance of Grotbag Scuttlers and Gloomspite Gitz.[1a]
History
Barak-Khazzar was a Sky-port of the Kharadron Overlords. The fall of the city began when a plunder fleet of the city descended on the Evermount in the Realm of Beasts. They converged on the ruins of their ancestral stronghold, Karak Kzaf, anchoring their airships to the eroded upper levels while boarding parties were sent down into the depths. Soon the Duardin were attacked by wave after wave of Grots, spiders and troggoths. While they attempt to flee the Gloomspite horde overtook them and swarmed the fleet’s airships.[1a]
Several weeks later, the lookouts on the docks of Barak-Khazzar cried a warning as the visage of the Bad Moon appeared in the sky and several dozen stolen airships appeared from its galre to slam into the Sky-Port, their enslaved and tortured captains manacled to their steering apparatus. While long guns and aethermatic conductors downed several of the airships, the rest manage to ram into Barak-Khazzar to disgorge a tide of greenskins and monsters. Spore-thick winds howled along the streets, seeding the city with corrupting fungi, while grots vanish into the pipes and conduits of the city. The Duardin fight back with everything they have, but all hope is lost when a second armada of Grotbag Scuttlers appear and the city is quickly overrun. Its conquerors rename it "Da Moon City" and turn it into a Gloomspite enclave. [1a]
Tech-Bosses
While most of the Kharadron's technology was swiftly ruined by the invading grots, occasionally some clever grot manages to make something work... after a fashion. These tech-bosses have created a number of strange blends of Kharadron technology and "loony know-wots", the most infamous of which is the half-squig, half-siege-engine Klankasquig.[2a]
