===“Da Age uv Da Hamma-Git”=== By the Age of Sigmar, grots were rarely seen by the surface world, becoming regarded as either myth or a very rare sight from survivors of their raids. The main reason stemming from besides small scale raids on villages or storehouses, moonclan grots would usually only come out in large numbers when in the presence of the Bad Moon. And for many centuries this was a very rare event, and probably for the best as when the Gloomspite Gitz gathered in mass it usually resulted in whole settlments disappearing off the map overnight. Incidentally this meant the Gloomspite Gitz for the most part had relatively little impact on the beginning of the age (the “biggest” thing to happen to them being the [[Sons of Behemat|many inebriated gargants]] flocking to their caves to sleep off their hangovers). This however would change with the coming of the Necroquake. This major event, while causing great destruction throughout the realms, also had the unintended effect of causing the Bad Moon to appear far more frequently. The various Gloomspite hordes saw this as a sign from the Bad Moon and Gorkamorka that time to bring the Everdank to the surface had began and started making major incursions into the surface world in numbers not seen since the Age of Myth, followed closely by their various allies and cave-beasts (so yeah, you can thank Nagash for the Gloomspite Gitz rampaging). Since then, the moonclan, spiderfang and troggoth forces have been making many invasions to secure greater territory for themselves but also to find a way to find where the Bad Moon will appear next. Currently the Gloomspite Gitz’ greatest territorial conquest is the lands of Ayadah in Chamon at the hands of Skragrott, with the Bad Moon now blotting out the sky in that particular area for some unknown reason (Skragrott believes its because they impressed the celestial object enough with their conquest). Skragrott claims the former home of the [[Gnoblar|Gnoblars]], Skrappa Spill as his new capital, allowing for an above-ground empire to be created. While all the various sub-factions of the Gloomspite Gitz have different reasons and motives in venerating the Bad Moon, all are ultimately united in wanting to see the surface world bow before them. ====Broken Realms==== The Loonking himself lead a mass contingent of Gitz alongside the Fist of Gork Gordrakk and the other Destruction factions in a siege of the free city Excelsis. Skragrott isn’t overly fond of this endeavor as it means he doesn’t have the same level of authority/respect among these Ghurish greenskins like the ones back in Chamon, but the strange thumping sound he’s been hearing in his head and an ill prophecy from a Tzeentchian magister tells him whatever happens at Excelsis is gonna be important. Turns out the important thing was the awakening of the End of Empires [[Kragnos]], who wrests control over the Waaagh from Gordrakk...and still leads them to Excelsis. Skragrott schemes with an Ogor Mercenary troupe to send them far ahead of the main army to sell their services to Excelsis’ defenders, and then promptly betray them once the Waaagh! arrives. While the grots themselves weren’t noted to have done much, the Troggboss Glogg of Glogg’s Megamob made a viscous last stand on the outer walls of the city. Kragnos gets tricked by Lord Kroak and Morathi-Khaine to go through a wormhole and the destruction army scatters, with Skragrott likely feeling very peeved over the whole thing. ====Era of the Beast==== Following the disastrous(?) attack on Execlsis, the Loonking and his mobs quickly slunk back to Chamon…only to find it in complete chaos thanks to Be'lakor’s own schemes. Their home turf of Ayadah was thankfully spared from the looming warpstorms, and while the grots battened down the hatches, Skragrott started to plan ahead. He felt the surging energies from Ghur like all the Destruction races did, but more importantly he felt the Bad Moon becoming much more aggressive and frequent in its appearances. This newfound vigor would be the excellent opportunity for the Gitz to push out all unwelcome guests in Ayadah, finally claiming the whole region for grotkind. Dawnbringer crusades and Kruleboyz lairs were washed over by a tide of Stabbas, Squigs, and Spiders, all quickly being absorbed into the Loonking’s empire. Their real obstacle came from the Skaven of the Minewarren Strip, an underground network of tunnels and magic focal points that have long been contested by rat and greenskins. The Clans Skryre were able to harness these natural founts of metal magic to create terrifying war machines against the Gitz. After the initial shock of this counterattack was over, the Grots started refocusing their mobs towards the power sources of the new Skaven machines, hoping to take them over with their own Gorkamorka blessed fungus.
