It's a subject that has been ruminating in my head for a while now. In part because much of the Warhammer world is often assumed to belong only to a single race without room for other cultures. My ruminations on the subject were inspired by this passage from Maugan Ra's Heirs of Sigmar grand strategy role play:
For further context it takes place during an Imperial expedition to Lustria which encounters a Not!Mexica Empire, itself a very intriguing concept explored in that update. Though this and an expedition event before the above are brief asides, they add depths to under utilized parts of the setting. So I started thinking on ways to expand on the indigenous populations in druchi territory.
Now to address the stegedon on the temple pyramid. I intend no disrespect or offense to any Native/First Nation or group. However, I am a white guy from Sweden with no connection to any nation, and depictions of said nations by outsiders have a fraught history since the fist permrnent European settlements in the Americas. I like to think myself more knowledgeable then most, but I make no presumptions of expertise in these matters. So if anything I put up comes across as questionable or offensive, then don't hesitate to call me out on it.
I will also be playing it abit losse with Naggaroths geography, and we can presume that name, and any other name you see on the maps are druchi inventions.
The big pitcture I have in mind is that the major druchi cities and their environs are firmly under their control. Outside of those said control is variable as the natives and the druchi are constantly engaged in conflict over the land. While Malakiths realm would have the strength to wipe out said natives, such would require a grinding conflict that would be much less profitable then the regular overseas raiding the Black Arks and Corsairs engage in.
Some tribes live as nomads, other in permanent settlements or between the two depending on the region. The main threat are naturally druchi slavers hunting for more chattel for the mines and households. In other areas the tribes contend with the Shades, druchi who are decended from exiles who live outside the Witch-Kings governing system in the "wilderness", as the nobility would call it. The free tribes are also a refuge for escaped slaves, who may be taken in by a tribe, or join a Métis like group of mixed heritage communities united in their intermingling with the native population and opposition to the druchi, if not much else given the diverse backgrounds of Naggaroths slave population.
Now this is essentially the set up. I will be posting more specific topics as I can think of the, but the thread is open for anyone who wants to contribute potential ideas, or discus if this even is a good idea to begin with. Just remember to remain civil, for I understand if this might be a controversial topic. And post nothing bigoted. Anti-indigenous sentiment is rampant in the world and I will have none of that here.
