The City of Mordheim was a sprawling metropolis high in population and riches. But one evening, a large twin-tailed comet fell from space, crashing into the center of the town, and blasted it back to the stone age, it was completely ruined.

Everyone living their either died, fled, or became something else. It looked to be a total loss...that was until it was found that the crash cause shards of a very valuable material called Wyrdstone to be found all over the ruins, and this caused a gold rush of sorts as Warbands from all over the world descend upon the abandoned ruins to strike it rich in the Dead city of Mordheim.
