Quetza

Quetza, the Defiled City survived the Great Catastrophe, but was abandoned for unknown reasons at some point before the coming of Clan Pestilens. Somehow, the Skaven penetrated the sprawling network of caverns beneath the city, caves resplendent with forests of majestic gleaming stalagmites and stalactites amongst which the city's Mage-Priests would contemplate the nature of the universe. How the vile ratmen gained entrance to Quetza's caverns remains a great mystery to the Mage-Priests, but it seems most likely, however implausible, that they dug their way up from tunnels even deeper below the earth.

Quetza formed the ratmen's greatest bastion throughout the long war between the Serpent God and the Rat God. During that time it was transformed into a sprawling, stinking warren, strewn with half-gnawed bones, rotting litter and rancid rat filth. Though Quetza was purged of its vile occupiers at the moment of lbhenhauin's victory, the city remains empty to this day. It is a place shunned by the Lizarclmen, tainted beyond redemption by the diseases of the vile Skaven.
