Description

The Skaven are described as a clan-based society in which the number 13 holds important significance. Skaven are portrayed as sneaky, conniving, selfish, cowardly and backstabbing - traits associated with rats. The Skaven believe themselves to be superior to all other races. Despite its large population, the existence of an organised Skaven society is carefully and violently concealed from humans and other races. Even when presented with irrefutable proof, the common man regards them as no more than rat-faced Beastmen, although there is no direct link between the two species. It is a widely held belief that if the Skaven could put aside their in-fighting and distrust of each other, they could potentially take over the world: fortunately their innate paranoia and deceitful, treacherous natures make such an occurrence all but impossible.
