Clan Verms is a minor Skaven faction in Immortal Empires.
Background[]
In ages past, Clan Verms numbered among those Clans with a seat at the Council of Thirteen, with Blight Tenscratch, the Wormlord, as its representative. Rising to prominence thanks to the trade with wormoil, which was needed to lighten the tunnels of the Under-Empire, as well as exterminating infestations of fleas and ticks, the Clan used to have a secure position. Within their possession were more exotic creatures that were used as war-beasts, like Giant Scorpions, assassins and highly poisonous spiders. In this time, the Clan resided in Skavenblight in a location known only as the Hive, which served as their main breeding center. The location was put to the torch during the Black Plague, when infected fleas carried a variant of the disease to several Skaven, which caused the Council of Thirteen to announce a culling of Clan Verms.
During the Black Plague, Clan Verms cooperated with Clan Pestilens to spread the disease, selling fleas that were infected with the plague and then carried into human cities through rats. Seeking an ally, Blight Tenscratch sought to conspire with Poxmaster Puskab Foulfur to replace Arch-Plaguelord Nurglitch. When an assassination attempt against Nurglitch failed and the Clan was culled for spreading the Plague in the Under-Empire, the Wormlord attempted to install Puskab as a new Lord of Decay by aiding him in the trials that were needed to assume a seat. In the end, the Wormlord was betrayed by Puskab, who instead sided with his own Clan, defeated him and thus granted Clan Pestilens two seats on the Council of Thirteen. Afterwards, wormoil was replaced with warpstone lanterns from Clan Skryre, making the most important trading good of Clan Verms obsolete. Having no real allies and having been one of the greater clans that were the most detested, Clan Verms fell from grace into its modern, precarious situation, replaced as the breeders of monsters by Clan Moulder.

Strategy[]
After being evicted by Ironclaw Orcs to the center of Southlands, they'll most likely to be fighting against Teef Snatchaz and Feastmaster for 10-20 turns. Whether they win or lose does not matter since even if one of the said three factions win, they'll most likely be destroyed by the larger nearby factions. If you're playing as Clan Mors, you might be able to confederate them.
