Spoilers: Clan Mors, Karak Eight Peaks, and the novels' premises. The End Times loss stays on the book page.
Groomed, and kept sharp
The Skaven roster of 18 August 2017 calls Queek the legendary Great Warlord of Clan Mors and the personal right-claw of Warlord Gnawdwell. He was groomed from birth. Assassination attempts, on that page, were how he was kept sharp. The titles are Headtaker and the Dwarf-Smiter. The roster gives him no mount. Total War: Warhammer II unlocks him in Immortal Empires.
Clan Mors on the lord page can spend food for extra uses of The Menace Below, and taking Karak Eight Peaks grants Frenzy to Clanrats and Stormvermin. The hold is that objective. The 2017 roster gives him titles and no mount, and it does not name a campaign start. He is a melee duellist without a spellbook of his own. Clanrats fix a front. Stormvermin support the fight he actually joins. A caster still has to be recruited.
The siege Ungrim broke
The Dwarfs roster on totalwar.com has a separate sentence from the novels: Ungrim Ironfist broke Queek's siege of Belegar's citadel in Karak Eight Peaks. That is the studio's line. Belegar Ironhammer is the dwarf lord of that citadel in the game, and his lore is the dwarf page. Skarsnik is the night goblin on the other side of the same hold, in the books and in the Greenskin campaigns.
The lord page's trophy rack is the game's presentation of a warlord who shows his kills to Gnawdwell. The roster's titles do the same work without a new trophy list. Tretch Craventail is the Clan Rictus survivor who leaves a bad fight. Lord Skrolk is the plaguelord. Queek is the one who wants the enemy champion in front of witnesses.
Headtaker, Thorgrim, and an End Times assault
David Guymer's Headtaker is the novel. When King Kazador gathers an army at Karak Azul, Queek is sent to lead a surprise attack and takes the chance to face that dwarf king. The jacket leaves the duel unstated. Belegar is drawn into the book and is not the viewpoint. Guymer's novella Thorgrim is the next Eight Peaks book: Belegar, pressed by Queek, Skarsnik, and the orc Gorfang Rotgut, asks High King Thorgrim for help. The Warlords of Karak Eight Peaks omnibus collects those books with Guy Haley's Skarsnik.
Guy Haley's The Rise of the Horned Rat is book 4 of The End Times. Queek prepares an assault on Karak Eight Peaks while the jacket places Skarsnik and Belegar in the hold and Thorgrim in Karaz-a-Karak. That is End Times fiction, later than an Immortal Empires sandbox and separate from it. The listening note on the book goes further than the blurb. It stays on the book page. A Clan Mors campaign that takes the Eight Peaks is the player's objective and the Frenzy, not that novel's ending.
