In Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy fictional universe, Lustria is a region located to the south of the Naggaroth, modelled in many ways on medieval South America.

Lustria is inhabited by the Lizardmen. They are based upon the Maya, Aztec, Inca and Toltec people that had great empires or kingdoms in South America in their medieval age. In the Warhammer Fantasy setting, they are not humans, but lizards.

History of Lustria

The Norse adventurer Losteriksson, son of Lost Erik, was the first Old Worlder to land on the coast of Lustria and survive to tell the tale. After trekking inland in search of treasure, Losteriksson and his men left Lustria as rich men, only to return and settle down where they first landed, naming the settlement Skeggi, after Losteriksson's daughter, the first human to be born in the New World.

Many centuries ago, before the discovery of Lustria by the Norse, a trading vessel from the Old World was caught in the fierce currents off the coast of Araby and swept into the swirling waters of Ulthuan. The wrecked ship was washed up months later on the eastern shore of Lustria. Though most of the crew had drowned or starved, a few still moved - not quite dead, but not entirely living either. For one of the passengers had been a vampire, who emerged from the rotting hulk to found a new realm of Undead in the New World. He then placed a curse on the oceans that would draw ships off course and sink them, once the crew was dead he would ressurect them and have more undead servants. After centuries of this, the vampire had amassed enough undead servents to wage war on the lizardmen.

The only other major habitations are those of the Old World settlers along the Eastern coast, though there is at least one group of Amazons living in the jungles.

Cities, settlements and locations of the Lustria

Skeggi is a Norse settlement at the Northern coast of Lustria.

Itza is the oldest of the Lizardmen cities and the first to have been founded by the enigmatic Old Ones. The Slann of the first spawning, as well as Skinks, Saurus and Kroxigors, were all created by the Old Ones so that they could participate in the building of Itza, each race being responsible for a separate aspect of the city's construction.

Quetza is a ruined Lizardmen city which became infested by the Skaven of Clan Pestillens. From here, plagues spread virulently through the jungle, devestating many other cities, until the Skaven were forced to migrate by the appearance of the serpent god Sotek.

Chaqua was the Lizardmen city where the rise of the serpent god Sotek was first prophesied. A great migration of Skinks spread the cult among the other cities.

The Vampire Coast, which is inhabited by the abovementioned undead, lies on the Southern coast of Lustria. Which is ruled by a ruthles vampire pirate named Luthor Harkon who is a mad vampire with an unknown blood line. He is the reason for the name "the vampire coast". There is much more to the history of the vampire coast and Luthor Harkon but has not been recorded by the professors of Nuln.
