The Slann Starmasters of the Seraphon foresaw danger in Beastgrave. Unchallenged, the corrupting presence of Chaos would transform the mountain into a colossal demigod whose power would wreak havoc across Ghur and beyond.

To prevent this from coming to pass, the Slann sent a hunting party of skinks into the mountain, bolstered by the Saurus Oldblood Klaq-Trok.

Their leader would be the gifted Skink Priest Kixi-Taka the Diviner, who bore an artefact that, if deployed in precisely the right location, would compel the entire mountain to consume itself in self-destructive madness.
