===Age of Sigmar=== The Age of Sigmar proved to be one of the most important parts of the race’s history. During the Realmgate Wars, as part of [[Archaon]]'s plan to corrupt the godbeasts to Chaos, he sent the [[Maggotkin of Nurgle]] and the [[Skaven]] to corrupt Behemat, whose sleeping place was already corrupted by [[Nurgle]] into what is now known as the Scabrous Sprawl. The plan was for the Skaven to drill into his bones to awaken him, the Maggotkin to corrupt him with Nurgle's taint, and for him to be persuaded to join Archaon's side by being told half-truths about Sigmar killing his father Ymnog (which he technically did). Although the Stormcast Eternals attempted to stop this, they were too late and were forced to invoke the power of the Great Bolts (the same weapon Sigmar used to kill Ymnog) to put down Behemat before he could be fully corrupted. Many of the gargants native to the Sprawl felt lost after witnessing the death of their god-progenitor, and were taken in by the Oakenbrow Sylvaneth and became eventual allies of them. Meanwhile countless more became solitary drunkards called Aleguzzlers, and found “employment” with the [[Gloomspite Gitz]], on account of the Grots’ copious amounts of fungus booze and cold dank caves to sleep off their roaring hangovers. [[King Brodd|And one particular gargant became very, ''very'', angry.]] Since the death of Behemat, his Sons have been noted to have been getting bigger, more violent and more intelligent, leading to the evolution of so-called "Mega-Gargants", colossal both in size and aggression. Just the thunderous sound of a Mega-Gargant’s footfalls will draw even the most reclusive of Gargants from miles around to join together. Tribes will form around these massive warriors who then proceed to mold the Gargants under his command into terrifying natural disasters. And with the Mega-Gargants seemingly becoming bigger and bigger with each day, it seems likely that there will come a time when a new World-Titan will emerge... ====Soul Wars==== The Sons of Behemat didn't pay much attention to the signs that preceeded the Necroquake, but they did notice them. The real effect of the Necroquake to reach them were the [[Nighthaunt]]. During their first battle, the Mortarch of Grief herself, [[Lady Olynder]], effortlessly slew a Mega-Gargant and his Stomp, allowing the survivors to tromp away to spread fear of her legions. Sure enough, rumors spread across the Gargant tribes of ghostly beings that stomping couldn't hurt or kill. Confusion led to terror, and terror became a reality when similar battles occurred where the Sons of Behemat, now dreading the Nighthaunt, found that their foot falls and club swings held little purchase against the ghosts. Things got better though as new tales spread amongst the tribes of how the Bjarl Stomp worked with the ghost-hunting [[Bonesplitterz|Drakkfoot Warclan]] to put down an army of Nighthaunt at the Asp River. ====Broken Realms==== When the God of Earthquakes [[Kragnos]] broke free from his mountain prison and started to sprint towards Excelsis, several territorial Mega-Gargants noticed the colossal centaur creature and instantly challenged him for daring to enter their turf. All but one, a Kraken-eater called Derko Walrusbiter, were slain, and Kragnos kept marching on with his new follower in tow. They picked up more Gargants along the way before colliding with [[Waaagh|Waaagh!]] [[Gordrakk]] and the two parties merged together under Kragnos’ command to tear down Excelsis. The Mega-Gargants were instrumental in tearing down the great walls that defended the city, however it was just as likely that their fallen corpses become brand new walls. Derko Walrusbiter gathered a Stomp of other Kraken-eaters and appeared out of the water and marched on the Excelsis harbor, but they were soon surrounded by the surprise arrival of a Black Ark carrying [[Morathi]]-Khaine and her [[Daughters of Khaine|wych aelf worshippers]], the goddess herself putting down Derko. Kragnos was lured through a portal to the other side of Ghur and the destruction horde was scattered. ====Era of the Beast==== Kragnos’ revival has caused a surge of feral energy from Ghur to waft out into the realms and drives all the races of destruction into a frenzy. The Sons of Behemat, though incapable of understanding what actually happened, refer to this event as the Great Stomp and roam far and wide to exercise their newfound energy. Some Gargants were driven mad by Great Stomp and became frenzied Beast-Smashers. More than a few Stomps have taken to following the lead of Kragnos, though others are still content to follow their own blunt ideas. Chief among them - literally - is King Brodd, who sees Kragnos as a false idol undeserving of Gargant worship. The Dawnbringer Crusades of the [[Cities of Sigmar|Free Peoples]] have proven to be a particular irritant for the Sons. No sooner have they finished flattening a nearby frontier town, another pops up some distance away. Ever more angering are the charismatic pipsqueaks who manage swindle the Gargants into working for them or cheating them out of their ancestral stomping grounds. The more wily gargants soon realized that there is value to these Crusades, seeing them as a steady stream of food and fighting. King Brodd and a stomp of over a hundred gargants met with Gordrakk when the latter was able to secure the Mawgate to the Eighpoints and demanded to be allowed passage so he may batter his way to the Azyrite gate and flatten Sigmar. Gordrakk, displaying a bit of Morkish kunnin’, proposed an alternate strategy to the King; the Great Waaagh! will smash their way into the Eightpoints and the Sons of Behemat will head to Ghyran to stamp out the resurgent settlers who seek to colonize the realms. This would split Sigmar’s forces between trying to stop Gordrakk’s horde and defending the Everspring Swathe from King Brodd and his stomp. King Brodd agrees to this arrangement and makes way to his homeland.
