The Chaos Dwarfs are an industrious, dark-souled and merciless warrior race of Dwarf Daemonsmiths, slavers and brutal killers that dominate the dark and cheerless landscape of the Dark Lands to the east of the Old World. The Chaos Dwarfs have given themselves over to their dark master, the minor Chaos God Hashut, god of fire, greed and tyranny, and Chaos has worked subtle changes on their bodies.

Rhakhart himself, a sorcerer prophet known for his sadistic ways and gifts in the binding of demons has recently left his dark home in search of a place to start his own cult in the name of Hashut, planning to put all of Sinfar under his cold iron boot.
