With Ekrund conquered and the Holds of Karak Drazh and Karak Eight Peaks besieged, the Badlands were steadily populated by the arrival of more Greenskin tribes migrating from the East. By -1498 IC, the mines of Ekrund were the first to be conquered by the Greenskins after much prolong fighting, renaming the conquered settlement now as Bloodhorn.
BADLAND GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION IG CRACKED
With their fortresses cracked open, the Greenskins flooded through the Worlds Edge Mountains and began to steadily conquer all the territories of the Badlands in a matter of decades. The Dwarfs, once at the height of their power, have now become victims to the marauding hordes of Greenskins and the onset of the Goblin Wars. This territorial domination all came to an end in -1449 IC when great earthquakes shook the lands of the Old World. The innermost territories of the Badlands were never claimed by the Dwarfs due to the harsh climate and a lack of mineral wealth to be found, and as such, remained mostly as an untamed wilderness. The port-city of Barak Varr were also formed at the mouth of the Blood River and Skull River, located within the northern borders of the Badlands. To the eastern edge of the Badlands, the towering strongholds of Karak Drazh and Karak Eight Peaks were formed from the side of the mountain range as well. The Mines of Ekrund were later founded by the Angbok Clan, and in time became a proper Dwarfen stronghold in its own right, claiming the territory of all Dragonback as their own. Their territories is confined within the towering peaks of the Dragonback Mountains in the West and the foothills of the Worlds Edge Mountains to the East. Long before even the rise of both Human, Undead or Greenskin, it was the Dwarfs who were the first to truly colonise and claim a part of the Badlands as their own.
The Doom of Dragonback (-1500 to -1020 IC) Humans, Dwarfs, Undead and Greenskin have once carved their own Empires into this harsh landscape. Long before Greenskin tribes stalked the lands or even when the Empire was formed by King Sigmar, the territories of the Badlands were claimed by many different races in its existence. The history of the Badlands is an extensive, going back for many thousands of years.
