some of the world's darkest secrets [Music] foreign [Music] richtus controls the tunnels beneath the crook Back Mountain and the proximity of the clan to multiple night Goblin tribes ensures that they always have a plentiful supply of slaves making them rather wealthy uncountable are the Goblins that have been trapped by the clan and forced to work many of them being pushed to the limits until they fall dead the local Goblin tribes often attempt to organize and try to fight back but more often than not the skaven of Clan richtus are the ones who emerge Victorious from these bloody encounters [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign Mighty War bosses have been able to put up good fights against the Vermin tide from the crook Back Mountain but the skaven seemed to always be one step ahead of them and with devious traps cunning and some would even say incredible luck they always emerge Victorious taking large amounts of the defeated forces as slaves and carrying them in Chains back to the Deep tunnels where the sun does not reach many of these slaves are sold or labor for the rest of the miserable lives deep within the mountains The Climb is so wealthy in fact that they regularly rival Clan Moore's in sheer amounts of warp tokens and are forever engaged in machinations and schemes to uproot each other [Music] their strategic location along the crookback mountain they claim a heavy toll from whoever wishes to enter the dark lands and triple that for whoever wishes to come back and leave a perilous place they regularly form dedicated groups to patrol the surface of their Turf in search of extremely valuable warp Stone meteors the spawn of the evil Moon morsely and fight off local tribes and Orcs and goblins chaos dwarves that are also looking for their own share of slaves and even wild creatures and weirdly mutated beasts that are often found in the area plan richtus is known for the rather high percentage of Blackford thickly armored and highly trained storm throne second only to claim Wars and it is a point of Pride that the legendary claw guard Bodyguards of icket claws are exclusively hired from Clan riches a man Rats of immense talent for treacherous tactics even when compared to most skaven tretch Craven tale is perhaps the most annoying Vermin of all to fight against he is famous for being a lucky rat so it is debatable how much of his success comes from this unique trait as a result tretch is quite superstitious even going as far as using the skull of an old rival as a lucky charm and helmet he proved himself from a young age performing acts of treachery and overcoming the odds with cunning and dirty tricks in one remarkable occasion he used distilled madcap mushrooms turn a line of night Goblin slaves into crazed Fanatics using them at zealous Warriors they were chained to each other and they madly attempted to break free they turned against the claw leaders and The Chieftains of the claw pack the result was a blood-drenched tunnel that left the skaven without a leader and of course tretch was the first to jump in to fill the role but perhaps his most infamous and creative feat was when he disguised himself as a stalactite a common sight in skaven tunnels and fell on top of the previous Clan rictus Grand Chieftain killing him instantly with the happy accident trutch crave and tale ascended to the position of grand Chieftain of the deep warrants shortly thereafter and has led an ever-growing force of ratman under his command to attack settlements from the Empire and throughout the dark lands Caven Society is not known for high life expectancy and thus other leaders began to become weary of Treach his superiors sending him to ever more dangerous missions but again and again he comes back stronger violer and even more coming a master of exploiting others weaknesses trenching his Stinger Rocky and never were you expect and always where they can do the most damage the green moon was shining that night and Kubrick a skaven hunter was on the trail of his latest prey a sneaky rat that scurried away as easy as water all skaven are cowards for it runs in their blood and in their souls but this one in particular practiced a special kind of cowardice a cowardice mixed with a strange sense of cunning turmeric moved amongst the dense foliage his prey had escaped to the nearby forests after he chased it from a village that was not too far away such a clever rat he thought the fire of his torch was all that accompanied him and the symbol of the held and Hammer he held so dear gave him hope [Music] he walked silently through the underbrush than a sudden noise to the left he chased it following the foul rat's smell only for his foot to get stuck in a wire it was a trap the wire activated a mechanical device that released sickening green gas the substance was a form of gasified warp Stone it was Swift in holding his breath but sadly he'd already breathed in a small amount of it it wasn't enough to kill him but it was enough to make him wretch with pain he felt the scouring rat eyes upon him and the silent laugh was carried by the winds Kubrick carried on the hunter found the trail left behind by the one who set The Trap and followed it slowly he had his pistol ready and loaded the forest gave way to a clearing and more sleep reflected off the eyes of his prey a rat man scarony looking waiting for him Kubrick aimed and shot his pistol but somehow the flintlock mechanism failed to fire that was a first but he didn't have time to check it at the moment so he moved to unsheave his sword only to find that his belt buckle had broken and the sword had fallen somewhere in the forest what was this bad luck oh he knew now as his opponent laughed Kubrick realized who he was facing stretch Craven Tale the famously lucky rat man but was it merely luck the rats circled the man like a carrion bird but Kubrick was ready to take on his opponent with only his bare hands if necessary with him he had his weaponized faith and his trusty torch but the light he carried was quickly snuffed out by a singularly strong gust of wind it was left only illuminated by the green glow of the evil Moon tretch laughed maniacally as he pounced on the man but the hunter was indeed strong empowered by his faith or perhaps by sheer desperation Kubrick tackled tretch the ground and began to strangle him the rat man expelled his characteristic stench of fear while moving forcibly to his left he could barely move but all he needed was to move a few inches anyways two seconds later a heavy Branch fell on the back of Kubrick's head the hunter tumbled over knocked aside by the impact while losing the grip he had on tretch and with that the rat scurried away again as fast as it could on this channel we are putting together narrative Total War cinematic battles in Warhammer lore videos a special thank you goes to our patreon supporters who
