Oyxl, the "Eternal City," is a temple-city of the Lizardmen which overlooks the great Culchan Plains extending across the continent of Lustria. Slann come here to meditate, their minds expanding to accommodate the expanse before them, reaching out to the horizon. It is said from here their minds can reach as far as the southern pole.[2a]

Oyxl is also home to a thriving population of Skinks. These Skinks have long mastered the ability to ride Culchan, the carnivorous, flightless birds which call the plains home, and use them to herd the slow-moving herbivores grazing here. Their meat is prized as a delicacy, not often enjoyed in Lustria's northern jungles. Limited contact exists between the Culchan riders and the High Elves from the Citadel of Dusk, meeting infrequently at the Southern Sentinels. Each party treats the other with wary suspicion.[2a]

Notable Locations[]

Shrine of Birds[]

Flying creatures of all types flock to this shrine. The Old Ones whose essence resides withing rewards those among the Lizardmen armies who take flight.[3]

Canon Conflict[]

Warhammer Armies: Lizardmen (8th Edition) states, "Oyxl was ruined by Daemons, but its Great Pyramid is still attended by Skink Priests and it is said that the Skinks of that city have almost mastered the carnivorous, flightless birds that roam the surrounding plains."[1a] However Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Edition: Lustria claims that the city is visited by Slann and has a large Skink population that has mastered riding Culchan.

Total War: Warhammer III seems to support the new edition, stating that the city was ruined by demons, but repopulated by skinks and mage priests.
