Biography
Zruleek whispered evil things to Zruleek and he learned of the Eternal Dark, the Seven Circles, the wild lands of the Hellequins… nothing was sacred. Zruleek and his followers began to worship the Abyss itself, rather than their torturous masters, and were overtaken by a religious zeal.
Once free from clutches of the Abyssal Dwarfs, the Ratkin clung to their new faith with a fierce obsession. Yet, as they spread further from the Abyss, the whispers of the Wicked Ones grew more distant and more intermittent. Without the guiding voice, the first Ratkin nests were fraught with savage anarchy as would-be leaders strived for supremacy.
It is claimed that Zruleek was forced to lead the way in these early days. Stating he had received a vision from the Abyss, he said the nest must be built in a mirror of the Abyss itself. The Ratkin should dig seven levels, in honour of the seven circles of the Abyss. With tooth and claw, the first Ratkin slaves dug through the dirt to build the layers of their new home – each a shrine to the Abyss itself and a twisted reflection of that awful place.
