The crops were poisoned, the ore corroded, and the Humans and Dwarfs annihilated by disease, starvation and murder. Then came the deluge of Warpstone, twisting the landscape beneath forever more. With its peals, it brought down endless rain, mist and chill, wrapping that once-great city in a prison of darkness and deprivation. Whatever the true identity and purpose of the stranger, the awesome power attributed to the bell is difficult to believe. This, combined with the rain of Warpstone summoned from the sky, points to the most likely conclusion: that the Shaper was one of the Old Ones, and that the first Screaming Bell (known to the Skaven as the Great Shrieking Bell) hung from the top of the tower of the city-a device designed to call down meteorites from the heavens themselves. The Skaven, in the very rare times they speak of their origins, refer to this figure as “The Shaper”, who is said to be of an “older race” than theirs. The identity of this figure is the most mysterious question surrounding the Skaven, and remains unanswered.
It was then that the “hooded stranger” mentioned in the Kazvar myth appeared. Historyĭespite all their great science, the city builders of Kavzar could not raise the final keystone to the pinnacle of their mighty tower.
He completed the great tower of Kavzar, and in doing so, gave start to the born of the Skaven plague. The Shaper, referred as the "hooded man" by the tale The Doom of Kavzar, was probably a member of the ancient race of the Old Ones.
