Lustria is a continent in the Warhammer World of Warhammer Fantasy Battle. It is a rough analogue to South America; tellingly, it is primarily inhabited by the Lizardmen, a race of Aztec/Inca-styled, reptilian humanoids, as well as unintelligent dinosaurs and snakes. Led by giant intelligent frog-men called the Slann, who spend all their time dozing or playing mental chess with each other, the lizardmen seek to restore order to their broken world the only way Warhammer Fantasy will allow; by sending in armies of giant killing man-lizards and their pet dinosaurs.

To be fair the Slann do do more then just sit around discussing the weather. They spend a lot of time and effort holding the power of chaos at bay that would otherwise flood into the Warhammer world from the realm of chaos and corrupt everything, making the current grimdark state of things look like a summer picnic. The Slann though, being of 'higher intelligence' don't seem to understand the need to get a move on with things. They spend a lot of time carefully trying to figure out everyone minor point of the great plan of their lost Old One masters that they can waste centuries worrying over an exact sentence, all the while Chaos is invading the house, stealing the tea and making off with the biscuits.

Lustria for the most part is a vast jungle, full of deadly plants and creatures. The Lizardmen rule the continent from vast cities resembling those of old Aztez ones. Being crammed full of relics made of gold and gems the men of the old world go quite crazy over them and regularly expeditions set out to steal everything not bolted down....ummm explore the realm for the good of mankind. Of course the psychic frogs and their minions don't take too kindly to this and most expeditions end up as sacrifices or worse lost in the jungle hell of Lustria.

Generally speaking, if something in WFB isn't set in the Old World or Ulthuan, it's probably set in Lustria.

Lustria also used to have its own supplement, because the environment is so different from the other Warhammer continents, but that was a few editions ago. Rumor has it that Forge World is working on a new version, however.
