The 3rd Skaven High Elf war

After years of waiting in 530PC the Typhonian Enclave once again mobilised its armies against the Elves of Mellvellon. His surprise attack against the Dwarves a few years earlier had been bloodily repulsed and as a result the Elves would not be isolated should the Dwarves come to their aid, but Typhus hoped that the long standing enmity between the two races would prevent them uniting. At the head of the Skaven armies strode the Vermin Lord Naspepsorael'Enaspahue'e'Ahael, once more summoned and bound to Tyhpus' will. Typhus had learned from his earlier dramas with the capricious and treacherous daemon and had strengthened the daemon's bindings, ensuring that Typhus would be able to shackle the titanic entity should it once more rebel against its rightful master.

The two factions clashed as the Skaven armies threatened to bypass Ogregard. The Elves put up a spirited and stubborn defence, holding back the Skaven hordes for many hours. At the height of the battle the Vermin Lord, living embodiment of the Skaven master race, was seen fleeing from the fight until Typhus once again managed to wrestle it back under his will, exerting his powers from his chamber back at Boiling Peak. In the end the Skaven were simply too numerous for the Elves that opposed them and they were eventually forced to retreat or be annihilated.

But with the bodies of their dead they had succeeded in buying time for the garrison of Sein Craban to fully mobilise. They opposed the Skaven on the outskirts of the city and it seemed as if a titanic battle would follow with the fate of the city hanging in the balance. The Skaven's ambitions were to be cruelly dashed however when the supreme warlock commanding the army, standing in full view of his host atop his bizarre war engine, lost control of the titanic energies he sought to master and was consumed by raw magic. With their battle standard fleeing the field the Skaven were thrown into disarray and although they continued to fight the confused and milling masses were unable to oppose of the disciplined elven ranks. The retreat became a route and in short order the sieges of Ogregard and the Tears of Isha had been lifted, leaving both sides back where they had started. Typhus flew into a rage at the news and frightened retainers reported the sounds of Tyhpus engaged in a furious argument with himself within the close confines of his palace.

The venture had not been entirely without gain. The Skaven had sacked an elven settlement and the revenue had allowed them to complete the high speed rail link to Widows Peak. It was now possible to travel by warpstone powered train from Widows Peak all the way to the secret undersea city of Ratlantis.
