Cities of Sigmar Background Tables
Source: White Dwarf #495 (out of print)
Sigmar’s folk are of hardy stock, having grown used to eking out an existence in the harshest of environs. They can be found setting out on expeditions throughout every realm, championing their dreams of reclamation. Those who reach the end of their journey establish strongpoints in which to settle, and they protect their territory in fierce patrolling detachments.
Due to originating from countless ancient empires, the etymology of mortalkind is immensely varied. Most of those who gather about the Gnarlwood, however, hail from the Realm of Beasts. Ghurish soldiers have the instincts of the hunter, even if they are not members of the Wildercorps. Most of these stalwart folks have incredible stamina and muscled, stocky bodies to ensure their survival in Ghur’s temperamental reaches. Their names are equally blunt, embodying the rich history of the tribes their ancestors once belonged to.
