The key point was when the Council approached Emperor Leopold and offered to relieve the Imperial Second Fleet (stationed at Marienburg) and conduct the defence of the city themselves.

Torgoch:

a warrior-priest orc of the Bloodaxe Alliance who came to note in the Vaults campaign. Warboss Torgoch was one of the more intelligent and popular leaders. Too popular. He gained the enmity of the other shamans who suspected he would one day usurp them. So they faked a false oracle and decided to lead the Alliance back into the darklands - without Torgoch who was to stay behind with a skeleton crew to man the base in the Yetzin Valley. Torgoch realised he had been outmanouvered and accepted his fate. In the valley he set about founding an empire for himself and had soon destroyed all Dwarven resistance in the area. And it was on the body of a Loremaster Hadrin that he found documents about the Crystals of Power. Torgoch had, years earlier, taken a red gem from the body of a human wizard. It was, he now realised, the Crystal of Fire. He came close to finding the Crystal of Earth when his troops overran the Shrine of Kadal-Helgad. By reading Hadrin's documents and books, Torgoch learned how to use his crystal. Realising the power at his command, he set out with most of his boyz for the Dark Lands. He left the orc Yatagan behind with some orcs. Torgoch didn't get far though, he ended up at the main base in Yetzin valley and lacking all reason tried to bend the orc gods to his will. They reacted by smashing what little sanity he had left and set about torturing him for a few decades until he died. His death didn't impede their torments. (D1)

these were the method of transport that the Old Slann used to cover the vast interstellar distances between planets. On the Warhammer World the two largest (but not the only) Warpgates were situated over either pole. It is the collapse of these two gates that signalled the coming of Chaos to the Warhammer World. The reason for the catastrophic failure of the warpgate mechanism can only be guessed at; there are some who suggest that the Slann, thenselves, destroyed the gates and brought about the collapse of their galactic civilisation in order to stop some terrible entity from breaking through into real space. (WFRP, WD#124)

Warpscrolls:

these are powerful Skaven magick. By using ink imbued with warpstone, a terrible spell is written onto the living hides of creatures. The ink causes intense agony and eventually death. The skin is flayed off and then cured using warpstone powder. The effects of reading a warpscroll are always horrifying and commonly cause rapid ageing in the intended targets. (JSp86)

Warpstone:

when the Warpgates collapsed, much of the matter of the Warp was sucked into the World, here it manifested as a fine, dust- like powder. A few larger pieces also entered the world, these are known as Warpstones and are a mighty source of raw Chaotic energy and magical power. Ultimately they are a source of corruption and their influence led to the creation of many new races, including Beastmen and the sinister Skaven. A piece of warpstone is irregular in shape and, perversely, glows blackly. It actually seems to suck light into itself so the exact shape of a piece can only be determined by feeling it. Exposure to any piece of warpstone may result in mutation. Crystalised warpstone exists (WFRP, WD#124)
