Crest of the Wardens of the Living Pools, the Lizardmen army commanded by the Slann mage-priest Lord Xlotc as depicted in Total War: Warhammer II.[2]
Xlotc was a Slann mage-priest of the Lizardmen temple-city of Itza when the Vampire Luthor Harkon first arrived upon Lustria. In the year 888 by the Imperial Calendar, the Vampire Lord Luther Harkon arrived upon the shores of eastern Lustria. He immediately began a campaign of destruction and desecration that saw him plunder scores of the most sacred of the Lizardmen's sites. It was Lord Xlotc of ltza who committed the formidable weight of a mage-priest's intellect to discerning the Vampire's intentions, and formulating a plan to put an end to them.[1a]
Xlotc wove a spell that would stretch Harkon's desire for mystical artefacts to the extent of his sanity, causing the Vampire Lord to lose all grip on reality as his search consumed him. At length, Lord Xlotc drew Harkon and his horde of Undead pirates towards the ruined city of Oyxl, having seeded the notion within his fragmented mind that its temples and vaults overran with treasures. Harkon and his armies never reached their goal however, as Xlotc's own cohorts intercepted him several hundred miles to the northeast of the city, and at the appointed hour launched a devastating attack that decimated the Undead hordes, and put paid to the Vampire Lord's plans for many centuries to come.[1a]
