There is simply survival, survival in a turbulent society that only spares those that possess the brute strength, extreme cunning, and the vicious instinct to outmaneuver and kill the opposition, no matter the cost or the body count of either friend or foe. To a Skaven, there is no such thing as pity, remorse, compassion, or cooperation. Such disunion and ruthless lack of cooperation stems from the Skaven's insatiable need to survive, thrive, and reign tyrannically over his brethren.
The Skaven race as a whole is extremely divided, often far more divided than perhaps any other race known in existence. Out of all the mortal civilisations of the world, no single race, neither the ruthless Human barbarian tribes of the north nor the savage Greenskins of the east can be compared in terms of instability to that of the Skaven Under-Empire. From deep below the earth, these scavengers have built a vast empire, whose military power and incomprehensible numbers have the potential to smother the Human kingdoms of the Old World in a seething tide of violence and anarchy. The Skaven as a whole are a cruel, treacherous, and highly numerous species that have since spread their loathsome corruption to the farthest corners of the Known World.
The Skaven, (pronounced "SKAY-ven") sometimes known as the ratmen, the Ratkin, the " Children of the Horned Rat," or the " Underfolk" are a malevolent and diabolical race of large, intelligent, humanoid rats that inhabit a massive, inter-continental, subterranean empire known in their tongue simply as the " Under-Empire." At the very heart of Skavendom lies the horrific city of Skavenblight, the ratmen's capital city and the probable birthplace of the Skaven race.
