Editing Council of Thirteen (section)

==Age of Sigmar==
It was during the Age of Chaos that the Great Clans Verminus and Ikk each held a staggering four seats on the Council, and the power struggles between these two groups would lead to the complete extermination of the Clans Ikk and the start of the Great Skaven Civil War. The war raged on and left the Council of Thirteen a squabbling mess. Then Skreech Verminking appeared before the sniveling horde with a message from the Great Horned Rat which can basically be summarized as “You had your fun, now you gotta get back to work.” Work being invading the mortal realms. To prove his point, Skreech killed half of the Council (Arch-Warlock Snitterkrit, Great Plague-Speaker Ebolox, Grand Clawlord Thrakk, Things-Twister Rukhtik, Lieweaver Yrkrit, and Shadowmaster Pheng) with one whip of his tail. The seats were quickly filled and Skaven went about razing the surface world.

With the Age of Sigmar, the Council of Thirteen suffers tremendous losses thanks to the Year of the Drowned Rat and subsequent Corpse-Thing War. It was only thanks to an opportunistic Grey Seer Thanquol that Skavendom was able to push back Nagash’s legions, though the Grey Seer wasn’t too keen on sticking around to let the Council “reward” his efforts (likely because he had a hand in causing the Year of the Drowned Rat).

Currently the 1st seat is held by High Arch-Warlock Skrach of Skryre Clan Ezzik, who instigated a wild goose chase for realmstone to help further his megalomaniacal agenda. The other known members include the 10th seat Master Moulder Zhurn Aelf-Eater of Moulder Clan Dregg, Lord Hakkrit of Verminus Clan Fang, and the two unknown representatives of Eshin Clan Scurrie and Stryk.
