In the long tradition of imagined underground kingdoms and bearded warriors, Games Workshop has given official form to what leaks had already half-revealed: Khazalite Holds, a dwarf faction joining the Age of Sigmar universe this autumn. The announcement, folded into the company's seasonal preview cycle, closes a gap that longtime players had quietly noted for years — the absence of a faction built squarely on the classic dwarf archetype. What began as an accidental disclosure became, in the end, a weeks-long conversation that no marketing budget could have engineered quite so naturally.
