The World: information thread
Authors notes:
Hello everyone this is my second fiction and this one is a reincarnation story that is set in the world of Warhammer. I started writing this fiction when I saw the trailer for the Total war Warhammer game witch made me interested in the lore and I found a lot of cool lore. Just that you know you do not have to know Warhammer to understand I will explain everything you need to know and more. As for release speed, most likely I will release a chapter once a week but sometimes it will be more.
Anyway I hope you “guys” will have as much fun reading The White Dragon as I have writing it. :)

Extra information:
In the large storage area on the right there are two cranes that can move storage containers to and from the middle of the road.
The elevator shafts of E do not stop on this level
Most of the tanks and artillery is stored on this level, smaller weapons are stored in the palace armoury
The large recreation area has a large lake with a lot of fish and underwater plants
The forests are of different types with most of them serving a dual purpose as a source for fruits, nuts and wood.
The X area is for something that is still to come in the future.
There are tunnels connecting the cave system with the outside but most of those have been hidden and blocked off. There are also a few that have hidden and had camouflaged doors installed that look just like a rock wall.
For the defense of this floor it is mostly focused on isolation. The places the enemy will most likely come from are area X and the cave system. That’s why the defense is mostly focused on those areas. Even if the enemy breaks through one or more of the defensive circles then the elevators will just go up and then the shaft will just be empty and the enemy can’t get up or down.

Warhammer lore notes:
Spoiler :
Dark energy = Chaos energy:
I took the liberty to make chaos energy the same as dark energy so just so you know I don’t know if it’s true but I think it would be cool and it also fits very well in my story.
Tzeentch personality:
I do not know what kind of personality Tzeentch has and I can’t find it anywhere so I gave him a personality that fits with the story.
Karak Drakk:
this is a Karak that was made for the story it is not a official Warhammer world Karak.
Goblins and orcs reproduction:
Goblins and orcs reproduce by spreading spores that grow into mushrooms and if they are not eaten by the goblins or orcs than they grow into a full goblin or orc in time.
Female beastmen:
I have gone with the Krogan (mass effect) approach to beastmen because I find them rather similar in behaviour (except that the beastmen don’t have the genophage) the men are very destructive and follow only the strong and are kind of stupid in the sense they act before they think. Another thing is that the Krogan men go of world and the male beastmen come out of the forest but the Krogan females live in their own clan and most of the time stay on their home planet so comparing this with “beastwomen” I have made it so that they live in their own clans in the woods and that they are peaceful and that the beastmen leave them alone for the most part except for beading.
Azyr or the blue wind of magic:
I can’t find to what it is attracted to but after some reading and logic thinking I think that it is attracted to celestial light (the light coming from stars and the moon) and divination, innovation, dreaming so more or less thinking. Please tell me if you can find what it is attached to and tell me where you found it.
Thorek Ironbrow:
i do not know what kind of personalty Thorek Ironbrow has so i gave him one that fits in my story
