    Hey y'all!

    I am searching for someone who has read Skaven Pestilens by Josh Reynolds and can answer me some questions about how the part of Ghur the story takes place in is described, specifically:
    - The Amber Steppes
    - The Crawling City and the giant worm it is built upon.

    The reason for my question is that a few characters of my new story that I am writing are from there, and I might need some descriptions of the city if there are any, to use them for my characters' background.

    Basically everything about Ghur that goes beyond what is mentioned in these articles:

    https://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Amber_Steppes
    https://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Crawling_City

    Now that the short-story contest is done I can answer your question without completely revealing my secret identity :spiderman:

    I tried to do research on the Realm of Ghur in making my contest entry, but found there isn't much.

    Found this video: theme of the realm I believe can be best described as CONFLICT



    And I mostly used the same sources you did, to include the AOS wiki entry on the realm.

    I assume that the crawling city would be something like London from that Peter Jackson movie that just came out? Except on a giant evil worm creature of course.

    Thanks a lot!

    Edit: conflict is a good word. I made sure to describe Ghur as dangerous, too.

    Man I cannot wait to see the reactions to my new story, I think you might like it.
    Right now I am very close to finishing chapter three (in fact I might split chapter three in two parts as it has become over 6000 words),
