Clan Moulder

The flesh-shapers of skavendom, whose packmasters and master moulders knead muscle, warpstone, and screaming vermin into living weapons. From their flesh-pit laboratories come giant rats, rat ogors, and stranger things, sold by the cage-load to the rest of the under-empire.

Contents

Clan Moulder does not forge its weapons; it grows them. In the flesh-pits of its warrens — vast, reeking abattoir-nurseries where the floors are always wet — the master moulders practise a craft part surgery, part sorcery, and wholly abomination, kneading muscle, bone, warpstone, and screaming raw material into shapes never meant to draw breath. What emerges is sold: giant rats by the writhing cage-load, hulking rat ogors, and stranger, costlier horrors bred to a buyer's exact specification.

The packmasters who drive these creations to war are less handlers than living locks, for a Moulder beast knows only hunger and the whip. Their art is prized across the under-empire precisely because it is so hard to steal — any clan can copy a machine, but flesh-shaping demands generations of hoarded technique, and Moulder guards its secrets with a jealousy that has outlasted dynasties. A rival who captures one of its creations captures only a monster he cannot feed, breed, or control. For all its monstrous inventory, Moulder is at heart a house of merchants, and its true genius is the arrangement by which the whole under-empire has come to depend upon it: let other clans covet warpstone and warriors, for Moulder sells the beasts that devour both.
