Jungle of Webs is a province introduced in Total War: Warhammer III, located in Lustria.
Background[]
The central eastern seaboard of Lustria is a low-lying area of trackless swamps and treacherous reefs, rich only in insect life and disease. It is here that Luthor Harkon has carved out his small, dismal empire of the drowned, and caused it to forever be known as The Vampire Coast.
Harkon arrived here in 876 IC by accident, his sarcophagus stolen from the hold of an Imperial ship by Norscan raiders. By the time the Norscan ship had run aground of the Jungle of Webs' reefs, its crew had undergone a marked change in both allegiance and vital signs. Harkon has never looked back. He sought to swell the ranks of his army, which proved easier than expected: prevailing winds and currents regularly swept human and elven ships down towards this stretch of the coast, where they could either be overwhelmed or wrecked of their own accord.
With more undead thralls joining him all the time, he directed them to take territory and seize whatever Lizardman treasure they could, tasks they were better suited to than any living Old Worlders could possibly be. This culminated in their conquest of Huatl, City of Reawakening, Harkon's crowning achievement and also his downfall. Deep beneath the ruined Lizardman temple Harkon wrestled with enchantments placed over a locked vault, thirsting for whatever laid inside. The battle ended with a magical explosion that buried the vault and shattered Harkon's mind, such that he can now barely remember who he is and must contend with multiple personalities battling for control of his actions.
Luthor is now obsessed with seizing Slann artifacts, believing they are the key to piecing back together his shattered psyche, and so wages ceaseless war on the Lizardmen from the misty swamps and lagoons of this region, swallowing up more ships of the living to feed his armada as he does so. The Lizardmen would dearly like to cast him out, rebuild the great city of Huatl, but doing so will be no easy task. The Jungle of Webs has become as deadly to them as it has to anyone else that still draws breath.
