Axlotl, also called the "Star City," is a Lizardmen temple-city of Lustria. Axlotl fell to the assault of the Daemons of Chaos during the Great Catastrophe, but was briefly repopulated during the Lizardmen's long war against the Skaven of Clan Pestilens. Its temples were reconsecrated and attended to by hundreds of Skink Priests, before being abandoned once more soon after the Council of High Slann declared the coming of Sotek.[2b]

Since that time it has been partially reconsecrated, although it currently stands empty -- or it appears so, as it is nearly impossible to pick out the Chameleon Skinks that keep silent vigil in the treeline outside the tumbledown temple-city.[1a]

Notable Locations[]

Hermit Lords of Axlotl[]

Each of the pyramid-temples of the ruined city is topped with an impossibly tall pillar made of the hardest obsinite. Atop each pillar sits a single Slann mage-priest, deep in meditation, his attentions fixed upon a distant star. These Slann never interact with each other or with any other Lizardmen, and gain sustenance through entirely magical means. They are protected from the raging jungle storms by a sphere of energy which glows all the brighter as the wind and rain lashes against it. Exactly what these "Hermit-Lords" await or seek in the distant stars is a mystery not even known to their fellows.[2a]

Chameleon Shrine[]

It is here, right outside the city, that the Chameleon Skinks gather. This shrine is dedicated to Conalxa, the Old One that is the patron of Chameleon Skinks. It is the most sacred site in the Known World to all Chameleon Skinks.[3]
