	In Warhammer Fantasy, they ~~created~~ the world, ~~made everyone~~, ~~saw~~ [[Chaos]] ~~was coming~~ to [[~~Rape~~\|~~fuck shit up~~]] ~~and so created the~~ [[~~Lizardmen~~]] ~~to defend the world~~ and ~~legged it~~.		In Warhammer Fantasy, they arrived to Warhammer World from space, seeing (probably) its potential in colonisation or maybe they wanted to use it as a part of their plan to stop [[Chaos]]. They, however, were pissed off by planet's climate and used their and [[Slann]] magic to literally pull the world out of Ice Age and reshape the continents when they needed it. After that they started creation (or genetical modification, it's not exactly known) of different races to battle Chaos, although they failed every time. Every major race (with exception of [[Orcs & Goblins]] and Chaos-related species like [[Skaven]]) were created by them, and even more were genocided by Old Ones' loyal servants, [[Lizardmen]]. And then, when Old Ones desperately tried to fix [[Ogre Kingdoms\|their latest failure]], Chaos Gates collapsed, [[Daemon\|Daemons]] were released and they mysteriously disappeared, leaving only plaques with some of their instructions.
