City of Pillars

"In pride we built Eight Peaks, at the zenith of our ancient power. It was a wonder to the world; more beautiful then even Everpeak, open to the sky. A sign of our wealth and power, strong beyond the measure of Dwarf, Elf, or Men. We thought it would never fall and the mines would be ours forever.....What fools we were."

- Gotrek Gurnisson, former inhabitants of Karak Eight Peaks

Karak Eight Peaks, now known by the Skavens as The City of Pillars, was formerly one of the greatest kingdoms ever created by the Dwarves of the Golden Age, rivaling even the Capital city of Karaz-A-Karak in terms of sheer power, wealth, and beauty. For many generations, the city endured throughout the ages, and no army in the surface world has ever been able to penetrate the eight mighty peaks that are the domains of this city.

This city was wonderous beyond imagination. Its wealth laid within the earth, in precious streams of gold and metal that runs through the city's massive mine-system.
