"Mysterious techniques and tricks from the distant east enable the Eshin Sorcerer to weave fiendish spells of pain and misdirection."
- —The Sorcerers of Clan Eshin[4]
An Eshin Sorcerer is one of the sinister and enigmatic spellcasters of the Skaven Clan Eshin.
Role[]
An Eshin Sorcerer as seen in Mordheim: City of the Damned.
The Art of the Silent Death was not the only thing Clan Eshin brought back when they returned to the Old World from Grand Cathay. A few Skaven delved into the black arts of magic. Blending what they already knew of the Aethyr with the techniques used by Cathayan sorcerers, they developed a new magical lore, the Lore of Stealth, that serves to enhance their clan's power and mystique. Eshin Sorcerers are mysterious, rare, and keep to themselves; they are well aware that the Grey Seers brook no competition from other Skaven spellcasters.[1]
Versed in the dark arts, the magic of an Eshin Sorcerer may seem paltry beside the might of a Grey Seer, but their arcane power is still considerable. Their magic is focused upon the strategies of deception, concealment and swift death favoured by Clan Eshin. An Eshin Sorcerer is a valuable asset to any Skaven warband, but one a wise Eshin Assassin will keep a wary eye on.[2]
