Total War: WARHAMMER Wiki

Western Badlands is one of the provinces introduced in Total War: Warhammer.

Background[]

This region of the Badlands contains Ekrund, or Mount Bloodhorn as it is known by its current occupants. In the Dwarfen golden age it was said to be the richest stronghold outside the World's Edge Mountains, its ore and gemstone deposits rivaling even those of Karaz Ankor. Many of its clans were fabulously rich even by Dwarf standards, and some were influential members of the High King's Council.

After the War of the Beard, Ekrund was overrun by Greenskins, with only a timely evacuation effort over the Black Gulf led by Barak Varr saving some of the occupants. The parched landscape here remains pitted with old Dwarfen mines and ruins, all of it now in the hands of squabbling Savage Orc Tribes, driven so mad by the sun that the ramblings of Wurrzag da Great Green Prophet have started to make sense.

Trivia[]

The song "Gates of Ekrund" was made by the metal band WIND ROSE, dedicated to this province's capital: Ekrund, hence the name. The song is about the fall of Ekrund and the fall of the dwarf hold due to the invasion of Orcs and Goblins.
