With all of this in play, there is no denying that to set foot in Anvilgard is to take your life into your hands. And the followers of Chaos see the city as a grand prize for their dark gods, helplessly destabilised and ripe for the slaughter. The Everqueen Alarielle views the ever-flowing defoliant spray that holds back the hungry jungles as a terrible weapon that could be turned against her beloved children, the Sylvaneth. The God-King Sigmar fears the city’s realmgates might fall into the hands of the Ruinous Powers, who would use them to wreak havoc across the Mortal Realms. Gods have set their sights on the city as well. To their agents they bring wealth and power they could never hope to attain on their own, and to their opposition they grant only disgrace or death.īut it is not just mortals who vie for power in the shadows of Anvilgard. This vast criminal network of cutthroats, sabeutours, and politicians operates from the shadows, steering the city toward an unknown future under the orders of their mysterious leader, ‘Sovereign’. Many say that the city only pays lip service to the God-King Sigmar, and that another organisation truly runs the streets - the Blackscale Coil. While the dark-armoured Stormcast Eternals of the Anvils of Heldenhammer protect the city and the precious cluster of four realmgates hidden within the Black Nexus at its heart, their dour nature and sombre dedication to their duty hardly inspires confidence in the wary populace. Every deal is dangerous, every alley a trap, and every die loaded. The people are just as sharp as the knives they carry. Corruption is rife in every walk of life, from the lowliest merchant to the Grand Conclave itself. Its winding, mist-shrouded streets are a haven for illicit trade, unscrupulous pirates, and umbral sorceries of all kinds. Pressed between the boiling waves of the Searing Sea and the ever-encroaching jungles of the Crucible of Life lies the free city of Anvilgard - the City of Scales. Where the mist never leaves and the shadows have eyes. There is a city on the Charrwind Coast unlike any other.
