Under-Empire

The Glorious Under-Empire, sometimes known as Skavendom or the Underground Empire, is a massive continent spanning empire that holds uncountable miles of tunnels and passageways that stretch from the Ice-capped mountains of the north to the damp swamplands of the south, and from the great plains of the East to the lush jungles of the West. Though arguably one of the most largest and farthest Empire in the entire Warhammer World, the Under-Empire empire is by no means an entirely united nation. Though the Council of Thirteen have direct and absolute control over Skavendom, they are utterly helpless to the great inter-clan warfare that has engulfed much of the Skavens long and arduous history. As such, the Under-Empire is in actuality a loose confederation of smaller clan-based kingdoms that are only tied togather by their utter belief in the Horned Rat, and the tyrannical ruling of the Council.

The great city of Skavenblight acts as the one true capital of the Skaven race, and as such it is also at the very heart of the Under-Empire. Most of the vast territory that make up the Under-Empire are usually held by the more larger and stronger of the Skaven clans, with the more smaller ones having only a territory of only a few miles, usually at a backwater region that the greater Clans wouldn't find any use for.
