Queekwell is a Skaven nest near Clan Skaar's stronghold, located east of the Tilean city of Pavona, beneath the Apuccini Mountains.[1a]
It is a small mining village, typical of any Skaven nest that claims allegiance to a nearby stronghold or warren. The sleepy, small town feeling of Queekwell is often interrupted by occasional earthquakes that seem to be centred in the mines themselves. Workers often meet their ends in cave-ins and the like, but Clan Skaar demands that the mining continue.[1a]
History[]
Something has been uncovered by Clan Skaar's Clanrats, deep in the mines of Apuccini. Clan Skaar is particularly cautious about tipping its hand, and has revealed little of the nature of its discovery. Rumours abound that they have revealed anything from a hidden cache of Chaos artefacts to a rich vein of warpstone that lay previously undiscovered. Some suspect that whatever Clan Skaar has uncovered relates in some unknown way to the region's persistent earthquakes.[1a]
Blood Bowl[]
In the humorous alternative timeline of Blood Bowl, the Queekwell Queasers are a highly experienced Skaven team that resembles Nurgle's foul spawn more than the Horned Rat's ratmen. They make use of Poisoned Wind Globadiers and Plague Monks.[2a]
Two notable figures associated with the team are Nitgrik the Pustulent, head coach of the Queekwell Queasers, and Grapkit Manyhands, the team's star thrower, who was also Skavenblight's preeminent motivational speaker.[2a]
