The Desolation of Azgorh is a province introduced in Total War: Warhammer III, located in The Dark Lands.
Lore[]
In an age before the race of Dwarfs had even learned of the existence of the Dark Lands, the ancient volcano Azgorh erupted in -1500 IC with such force that it blew itself apart. Never before had such devastating force been known by mortals. The ash cloud blowing south was seen as far away as Khemri, and the sound of the explosion was recorded by Elven colonists in what is now Bretonnia. The colossal forces unleashed on the lands between the Ash Ridge Mountains and what would later be the Mines of Gorgoth rent the ground asunder from earthquakes and pyroclastic flows. This carved the landscape into a labyrinth of razor sharp rocks, sulphur pits and vents of toxic steam, where no creatures or plants will live.
Despite this, or perhaps because of it, this area is the location of Crookback Mountain, the capital of Skaven Clan Rictus. From here Tretch Craventail extracts a toll from any Skaven travelling eastwards from the race's strongholds in the World's Edge Mountains, and plans his next set of diabolical double-dealings.
