I love to explore the world in this game, and one of my favorite spots is the port of barak var. It's a greenskin pq for killin dwarfs.
I thought it was a dwarf camp as well, so I made a dwarf to check it out.
Ended up exploring the whole area after finding out how to get in with out dying, on my dwarf.

anyways I found A door with a broken sign, it shows up as a mailbox on the map. The sign says it was the residence of the secretive darkhelm clan, can't click on the door though. I thought I had a screenshot but apparently didn't get one.

I googled, but couldn't really find anything. does anyone know about the dark helm dwarfs of barak var? :D

Sure its not a skaven clan? They have little haunts in other weird places too.

That is less exciting, but It would make sense cause the random skaven enemies fairly close by. It was like a big wooden door though so it seemed dwarf related in a dwarf port.

It’s an achievement for uncovering it. Doesn’t appear to of ever opened.

Probably one of the never written quests and potential areas the world is riddled with. The creators had really really high expectations. See the main cities never being finished.

What was the name of the clan that fought to the end to protect the second lighttower in Barak Varr. Was that maybe the darkhelms?

I went back and got some screens, also forgot I could have taken a shot of the achievement as well. https://imgur.com/a/uVxTP8h

pretty neat! I think the skaven could have tunneled in after the darkhelm had already left.
Or maybe they had defeated them, it seems like they were busy with all the greenskins in the surounding area though.
