From the introduction: Oh, my brotherss. What more needs say-say. Long, long time we have dwelt in darkness. We were here before all the things. Before man-things built their walls, before dwarf-things carved out their halls of stone. We were here amongst the shadowss when god-thing Sssigmar scattered the green-things with his curse-bad hammer. We planned, we schemed, we manipulated against the Great Necromancer, whose name we do not speak-tell, and we won. We watch, we wait, we plan. We live-live in the dark. We are Children of the Horned Rat, yes-yes. And as we were before you, so shall we be there to see you fall.
