The Claws of Skael
The Skaelings boasted that they were not truly men at all, but the human descendants of a great drake that once roamed the lands of northern Kislev. It was in honour of this supposed ancestor that the Skaelings branded their skin with tattoos of fire and swirling dragon shapes. The Claws of Skael were considered particularly blessed by their fellows, for the Dark Gods had seen fit to grant thick, serpent-like skin to many of these warriors.[1a]
