<p>We start this episode with a dive into the lore of Hashut (Ha-Shoot) and his role within Chaos Dwarf society. We then return to our trudge through their factional history. We rejoin the story with the Runesmiths finally being conquered by the newly empowered Sorcerer-Priests, but after months of fighting they were enslaved and sacrificed to Hashut, marking the birth of the Chaos Dwarfs. We discuss the Sorcerer-Priests raising Zharr-Naggrund, enslaving greenskins and humans, and triggering a great Orc, Goblin, and human migrations westward, weakening Karaz Ankor while concealing their own survival. Skaven also emerged, becoming a new source of slaves for the Chaos Dwarfs, who thrived on trade and exploitation. We close out with the most dangerous creation of the Chaos Dwarf, the Black Orcs, who eventually lead a massive revolt</p><p><a href="https://discord.gg/yjCqJJtebA"><u>Chat with us on Discord</u></a></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/layingdownthelore"><u>Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</u></a></p><p><a href="https://layingdownthelore.com/shop/"><u>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merchandise⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</u></a></p><p><a href="https://layingdownthelore.com/quartermaster/"><u>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quartermaster⁠</u></a></p><p><a href="https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/laying-down-the-lore0/subscribe"><u>⁠⁠⁠Listen Ad-Free⁠</u></a></p><p><strong>SHOW IMAGES:</strong></p><ul><li><p><a href="https://layingdownthelore.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Sorcerer_Government.jpg"><u>Sanctum of a Temple of Hashut</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://layingdownthelore.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Taurus-Cover.jpg"><u>Chaos Dwarf Lord on Taurus</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://layingdownthelore.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/60010211001_ENGHelsmithsOfHashutArmySet05.jpg"><u>Hellsmith (Age of Sigmar)</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://layingdownthelore.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/DarkLands-1.jpg"><u>Map of The Dark Lands</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://layingdownthelore.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Hobgoblin_Archers_M1.jpg"><u>Hobgoblin Archers</u></a></p></li></ul>
