The location of Foul Peak in the western range of The Vaults.[5a]
Foul Peak is an hidden Skaven lair deep in the mountain range of The Vaults near the Tilean Principality of Miragliano.[3a]
The location of Clan Ektrik's settlement of Foul Peak in the western range of The Vaults.
Controlled by Clan Ektrik, here a vast array of machinery connected to arcane lightning conductors sits atop the mountain's summit and hangs from the lair's ceiling. A horde of Warlock-Engineers tend to this array, harnessing the power of the storm-wracked skies, but to what diabolical purpose none can guess, and they will not tell. The air hums with electricity and frequent "accidental" electrocutions keep Clan Ektrik's life expectancy well below the Skaven average.[1a]
History[]
The excavation of the tunnel between the Skaven settlement and the rest of the Under-Empire dates back to around -1500 to 0 IC.[4a]
Clan Ektrik was led by the Warlord of Foul Peak, Griktrode Boltspear. Boltspear had captured and traded tens of thousands of slaves to Clan Skryre in exchange for more weapons of war.[2a]
Trivia[]
In the universe of Blood Bowl Foul Peak has its own team, the Foul Peak Fleabags, composed entirely of Skaven players. This team is one of four participants in the Tilean League.
