Editing Sotek

Sotek is the Serpent God of the Lizardmen and particularly has a fondness for the Skinks, a number of whom are born with the special red crest that denotes them as the favoured of the God.

For the most part, the Gods of the Lizardmen are the Old Ones, the creators of many of the races of the Warhammer Fantasy world and who the Slann directly obeyed in their masters' quest to make the world a nice and happy place. After the great disaster the Old Ones vanished, only to be now revered as the Gods of the Lizardman race. Sort of like ancestor worship then.

Sotek is different. He was not one of the original Old Ones and appears to be something different; a god born like those of the other races from the collective thoughts, beliefs and emotions of the Lizardmen and the Skinks in particular. This worries the Slann has they can't decide if Sotek is truly benevolent to the Lizardmen or not or whether he is a part of the plan of the Old Ones, which the Slann are trying to continue to carry out (and miserably failing at doing so).

Due to this the Slann have spend a long time trying to figure out what Sotek is and continue to do so, centuries after his coming. Being so long aged doesn't give the frogmen a reason to get a hurry on.

Sotek is a cool god, regularly trolling the Horned Rat, the God of the Skaven race who Sotek is the direct rival to. Sotek was born during the plague wars between the skaven clan pestilens and the Lizardmen, who fought to save their cities from the plagues unleashed by the festering pusbags
