Which races are everywhere?

[Hudson Gameover]

Out of all the races, which ones could you find wherever you went on the warhammer globe?

I'm thinking Orcs and gobs, beastmen, skaven and maybe empire?

[Iron_Lord]

Chaos marauders, specifically the Norse, sail anywhere- except maybe Ulthuan.

[Knarg]

Humans in general can be found just about anywhere on the Warhammer world. Except Ulthuan, as previously stated.

Besides that, O & G certainly, Skaven underneath everything and occasionally rising up, and Beastmen everywhere but Lustria. High Elves have outposts just about everywhere coastal as well, to maintain what hold they have left.

[Craze_b0i]

Well Empire is not a race, but if you mean humans then yes there are a lot of humans about.

However none of the aforementioned races can be found on Ulthuan, at least that we know. Also the northern and southern wastes are pretty much chaos armies and nothing else. There may be orcs or skaven there but its not specifically mentioned.

edit: eek. simultaneous triple post!

[Gorbad Ironclaw]

Elves. The High Elves got several big fortresses located around the world to act as naval bases and the Dark Elves also likes to maintain a strong naval presence and so can be found in the strangest of places.

As for OnG, they do not really appear to be in Naggaroth, Lustria or Ulthuan at all, and aside from the Hobgoblins, do they have a strong presence out in the east?

[frogboy]

There is referance of humans in Ulthuan in one of the Gotrex and Felix novels, not in the main city but certainly in the ports, for trade etc. Dwarfs are also found in any civilasation because of the building trade, but not in Ulthuan. Deamons, vampires, Grail Knights, and halfling chefs all get around a fair bit I would imagine

[Forse]

Don't forget the ogres. Ogres are notorious travellers, and can probably be found just about everywhere. Not always in large groups, but I figure they are some of the most eager travellers.

I can imagine escaped greenskin slaves living in the wild places of Naggaroth.
Savage Orcs live in the Southlands, not sure about Lustria though...

[Athelassan]

Lothern has a trading quarter into which human merchants are permitted (but nowhere else on Ulthuan, at least in theory). It seems unlikely that any humans would visit Naggaroth other than as slaves or in truly exceptional circumstances. There are a couple of human towns on the coast of Lustria (Skeggi, Swamp Town) although the Lizardmen keep sacking them.

I imagine you'd find someone of Imperial, Bretonnian, Marienburger, Norse, Tilean, Estalian, Arabyan or Cathayan origin (and possibly all of the above, depending on size) in just about anywhere with anything valuable to trade where humans aren't killed (or worse) on sight.

The Dwarfs (including the Dawi Zharr) appear fairly widespread although there aren't any to my knowledge on the western continent or further east than the Skull Land. There are probably a few Dwarfs weirdos in Lothern.

Beastmen seem to hide in just about every forest going. The Skaven empire spans the globe although will presumably concentrate around large population centres. Ogres appear to show up just about everywhere as mercenaries. Including hobgoblins, greenskins are near-universal, although there probably aren't many in Ulthuan, Lustria or the Southlands - the Lizardmen don't like them. I've seen references to orcs in Naggaroth (possibly escaped slaves) and Ulthuan is at least within range of greenskin attacks (Grom!) even if there aren't any "natives". Not including hobgoblins there hasn't been mention of any further east than the Skull Land, but that doesn't necessarily mean there aren't any.

Elves are everywhere. Dragons also seem to show up everywhere, though not in any significant numbers. The same might go for Dragon Ogres. Vampires have been found pretty much wherever there's a food supply, and possibly in other places too if they've transcended the need for blood.

I've seen references to small number of escaped greenskin slaves living in the wilds, nothing of any importance though. Not seen any references to them in Lustria at all. However it also depends on what is meant by the question. It's likely possible to find one or two individuals for a given race almost anywhere. So, for instance, are we talking about you maybe being able to bump into a dwarf in one of the tiny human settlements in Lustria or are we talking about if Dwarves have a presence there?

[Mister Blak]

ogres travel everywhere, maneaters are known for visiting every single continent, and being hired by pretty much everyone (it is expressly said that they have been hired by the dark elves, for example).

The OnG armybook refers to OnG forces in both Naggaroth and Lustria. In Naggaroth there are specific references to Frost Goblins who burrow in the glaciers and fur-clad orc tribes who live in the pine forest. In fact orcs in Naggaroth goes way back. It's in the first OnG book in 4th edition plus the original 4th ed HE armybook contains a battle-report whereby HE forces on their way home from a raid on Naggaroth get ambushed by a goblin tribe.

[the Witch kings regent]

nagarrond is only populated by dark elves, a few high elves in a crappy fort far to the south and the dark elf slaves. the orks have to be fighting against the dark elf shades all the time and so are proble only very little tribes.

[Gorbad Ironclaw]

I do remember that battle report, it's the one with the Orc shaman on a wyven who is the real power behind the throne, and the Goblin Warlord with a Crown of Command leading a unit of Trolls, is it not? I wasn't aware that it supposedly took place in Naggaroth.

I don't remember the reference in the OnG book, but it might have been in there. Still, I think it actually supports my main point. There will be a few, but they have never been talked about as being of great numbers/significance.

Nah, that's against dwarfs in the 4th ed OnG book, unless they feature in another book I haven't seen (is the HE book 4th ed or 4th/5th ed like the OnG one?)
As for Ulthuan, considering the massive amount of goblins from Grom's Waaagh!!! that escaped in the end, and the fact that, contrary to popular belief, there are large expanses of wild territory there, there has to be a lot of goblins still on the island.

The first appearance of the Skull Wand Of Kaloth too... not that the poor Shaman carrying it got to do more than be turned into ash by the Doomfire Ring.

Wrong battle rep. As I said in my post the battle rep was in 4th ed High Elves. It may also have been previously in WD. The forces were Unicorn-Mage, Silver Helms, archers and spearmen vs about 6 units of goblins plus warboss and shaman on gigantic spiders.

The current OnG book also states that the Dark Elves have suffered more from greenskin attacks than they ever gained from bringing them there as slaves. (Which shows they are a significant menace and also that DE are not always so clever as they like to think.) There was also a special WD campaign orcs vs Dark Elves to coincide with the launch of the first DE army book. Basically the story was that a DE expedition invaded the territory of some orc tribe in the wilderness of Naggaroth.

As said Ulthuan is the problem for alot of races, no human population and no dwarf population.

As for orcs and goblins i'd say they're there if in small numbers, grom invaded ulthuan and once you've got an orc problem, well that dosnt go away.

All skaven tunnels end short of Ulthuan, my guess is that their warpstone will be slowly drained by the vortex if they get to close. or that much Dhar might topple the vortex entirly and while skaven are chaos creatures i doubt they'd benefit much if the demons returned.

Beastmen, there are no indication of beastmen in Ulthuan on any maps (mostly the one in the beasts of chaos book) but sicne beastmen sometimes are mutated animals who take on humanoid characteristics they shoudl be created in the high peaks of the anulli and wander south. That is if the elves purged the beastmen that will have been created after the polar gate collapsed. The elves themselves are highly resistant to mutation so no such creatures will be born of them. also human beliefs shape the form the beastmen of the oldworld, that the elfs have other fears may explain why there are no ordinary beastmen in ulthuan.

So the races that can be found everywhere are elfs, dark elves sometimes venture into the wastes and the high elfs hold a fortress on the southern continent.

O&G Spread like a disease, the druchii may think that they have the situation contained with orcs slaves but they dont. Look how well that went for the chaos dwarfs, they created the black orcs and lost controll of them.

And mortal followers of chaos, if there's a thinking creature you bet there's one who has sold his or her soul to the dark gods too.

Not within the reign of Finubar of Lothern. As of Blood of Aenarion, Lothern hosts quite a sizeable immigrant population in the foreign quarter of the city, up to and including dwarfs. There's also mention of greenskins in the mountains on Ulthuan, if memory serves correctly, in the book.
