Hello, Everyone. I welcome you to my rewritten version of The Lizardmen Chronicles. This Prologue is exactly the same as from the original. Don't worry, the first chapter is on the way, just wanted to let you guys know. Hope you guys enjoy.

I do not own nor have I ever owned Total War: Warhammer or Fairy Tail. That honor belongs to Creative Assembly, Sega, Games Workshop, and Hiro Mashima.

"For as long as I can remember, the jungles of the continent of Lustria and what dwells within has always fascinated me. Ever since I was a child, my father would tell me tales of his seafaring adventures to that mysterious continent. Telling me of golden temples and ziggurats, towering high above the canopy, hiding ancient secrets and more treasure than could ever be found in the Old World.

I loved his stories and always begged him to take me with him on his grand adventures, but he would simply smile and say maybe next time. He always said that. Soon enough I discovered that his stories were just that. Stories.

He never went to Lustria. He never even left the Old World. The farthest he had ever gone was down to the Tilean Sea to trade furs from Kislev. His 'adventures' being merely gossip and tall tales from others.

At first, I was disappointed and angry at my father for telling me lies, making himself a great adventurer through his tales instead of the truth, himself being a simple merchant.

But after a day or two, I grew out of my anger, in its place grew a burning curiosity. A need to know if the tales that my father told were actually true or not. After all, every story, whether true or false, have some basis in fact. Be it only a small inkling.

So there began what would become my life's work, discover the secrets of Lustria. Though I didn't know how or where to begin.

It was during my days as a young scholar at the Imperial Library in Altdorf that I found my start. Papers, Treatise, and diaries of those brave or foolish few who actually delved into Lustria's heart and came out alive. Though only for most of them to die a few days later from one of the jungles numerous diseases.

While reading these accounts, I came across a particularly interesting one by Ibn Jellaba. An Arabyan explorer who discovered and established trading relations with the Lizardmen city of Zlatlan, otherwise known as The Hidden City.

It was his accounts that changed my perspective of my work which then shifted my fascination from Lustria to the Lizardmen themselves.

For the next twelve years of my life, I traveled to both the Southlands and Lustria, collecting every bit of information as I could about this ancient race. Alas, an incursion into a Lustrian ruin cut my research days short when a cold-one crushed my right leg in its jaws. I survived, of course. But I have never been fully able to regain the use of my leg, forever giving me a limp.

So I returned to Altdorf, settled down and had a family. Along with also becoming the Imperial Library's resident expert on the Lizardmen.

While I wasn't able to discover as much as I would have wanted about the secrets of the Lizardmen. I am content.

I will be able to tell my children tales of my adventures, and it will be the absolute truth.

That is all I ever wanted in the end."

As I said, this is exactly the same as the original. This chapter will be the only thing I am keeping from the first story. The next chapter will out soon, I promise. While we are here, I wanted to ask you guys to check out my other stories and to participate in the poll I'm running to determine what is to be the fourth story I will write (I already know what the fifth story is). What I am doing is going through each story in order. When I finish a chapter for one story I move on to the next story on the list.

This is how the list goes.

This Mortal Koil (Chapter 1 finished).

Cops, Heroes, and Villains (Chapter 1 finished).

The Lizardmen Chronicles [Rewrite] (Chapter 1 in progress…).

Fourth Story (To be determined by Poll).

Fifth Story (To be started after Chapter 1 of Fourth Story is uploaded).

And then I start the process all over again. Hope you guys don't mind. Anyways, that is all I wanted to say. I will see you all again when chapter one of this story is up. Till then, my friends.
