Under a fictional commission from Boris Todbringer, Simon Grant describes the threat hidden inside the Empire’s forests. Beastmen resent human civilisation and organise warherds around strength, with Gors, Ungors, elite Bestigors, Minotaurs and protected Bray-Shamans occupying different places. The account challenges the Empire’s assumption that scattered forest creatures cannot threaten fortified settlements and introduces the immense monsters that follow their armies.
