| abstract | - Hell Pit is perhaps one of the most horrific of all Skaven strongholds within the northern reaches of the Under-Empire. Dug into the walls and floor of a massive chasm, created by a meteorite of Warpstone that crashed into the side of the Northern World's Edge Mountains, this horrific stronghold of Clan Moulder is heated by many volcanic pools,, providing its inhabitants with shelter to hide from the constant, freezing winds of the Northern Waste that blow from the Polar Gates of the North. Once one enters the dreaded city, the senses will be overwhelmed by not only the sulfurous stink and poisonous fumes of the chasm and its filthy occupants, but also by the din and clamor that echoes from a thousand tormented throats that utter a horrific cacophony of wretched snorts, howls and shrill cries that echo along the chasm walls. This blasphemous place is the breeding grounds and stronghold of Clan Moulder and the home of Lord Verminkin, Pack-Master of Clan Moulder. From here Clan Moulder sends out expeditions towards the lands of Troll Country, Norsca, and the Northern Wastes, to capture and bring in new monsters and creatures to fuel their various and diabolical experiments. These expeditions would return with caravans of wheeled cages filled with all manners of beast. These creatures are then brought into Hell Pit, where they are placed within pits or cages and are regularly exposed to Warpstone, either from their food and water, or directly exposed to the substance itself. Most times, their bodies begin to wither and rot from the high concentration of Warpstone. Occasionally, however, the Warpstone provides a superior and valuable mutation sought after by the Master Moulders, that their tormentors would send the subject to join the Clan's ever-increasing legions of Warbeasts.
