Background

"We will be his Burning Talon, striking down his chosen prey. He will be nourished with a bounty of defeated enemies which we will deliver from distant lands, so that he will know the taste of the ignorant and those that deny him. We will seek out his prey on the grid of iron, and in this way our enemies will unwittingly welcome us into their towns and cities. We will fight, winning glory, while our bloody harvest is returned to the Heart of the Mountain and the table of the mighty Fire Lizard. It has been seen."

-Tzatza, of the Smoking Caverns
upon founding the Burning Talon of Ualun.

On the Island of Ualun
Ualun is a volcanic island. There are multiple volcanos on the island, and all are active - although the main volcano, the biggest one, is the most dangerous and fiery of all. It very regularly spits out rocks of fire and lava on the island, which regularly causes casualties.

Near the actual volcanos, and in the countless caves of the island, live the lizardmen. For them, the heat is second nature. They can even swim and bathe in the lava streams for short periods of time. For many centuries, they were happy in that state. Lounging around in the heat is a pleasant way to spend the time when you are cold-blooded, and food has always been plentiful on Ualun.

In addition to the lizardmen, there is a small population of humans living in coastal villages. They are a sickly community, rife with disease and illness. As a result their numbers are too small to been seen as a substantial threat to the lizardmen, and due to plentiful nature of other prey are not the preferred food source.
On the Fire Lizard
Recently the lizardmen have been enlightened, and the newly discover wisdom has spread rapidly. They believe that deep within the fire and heat of the main volcano, a creature lives. Some claim to have communicated with it, and others claim to know this because of the strange dreams they have been having while lounging on the heated rocks. All refer to it as the Fire Lizard, dwelling in the Heart of the Mountain.

To bring the coming of the Fire Lizard accepted wisdom is that sacrifice is required. The Lizardmen known that by sacrificing the blood of warrior enemies into the volcano, and thereby mystically triggering a volcano eruption, allowing the Fire Lizard to break free of the Volcano's shell.
Whether the Fire Lizard will lead them to power and immortality, or scourge Orymm of all life except for them and other heat-loving beings is still debated. Regardless of the method, unleashing the eruption, and the coming of the Fire Lizard will usher the accendance of the the lizardmen.
On the Heretics

As the wisdom of the Fire Lizard initially spread, there were some that denied the truth and opposed plans to unleash the eruption. These ignorant fools believed that these plans to make the volcano erupt were a bad idea. They have now all been banished, or have run away before they were killed, and live with the dark-skinned population of humans and dwarves on the island.

The heretics sought out help from the humans and dwarves that offerred them shelter - but the population is far too slim and sickly to be able to be able to fight. Additionally, the humans would never have been able to withstand the heat near the volcanos and in the caves. As despair took the heretics, they then found the answer in an old belief of the population on the island: necromancy and voodoo.

Resurrecting an old nearly forgotten cult, these heretics have named themselves as priests of the Cult of Perpetual Existence. The villagers have welcomed this development, as their disease adled minds wish to prevent the volcanic apocalypse just as much as the new death-priest lizardmen - and now all the villagers had to for that purpose is accept that their direct diseased forefathers and friends do the battle for them!
On the Conflict

Rather than adopt open warfare both the faithful lizardmen and the death-cult have established Blood Bowl teams to further their plans.

The faithful lizardmen see a Blood Bowl team as a great way to sacrifice blood of warrior enemies into the volcano, without initiating a war between them and all nations within Orymm. All they need to do is steal (parts of) any fallen enemies on the pitch, and take them to the Volcano and the Heart of the Mountain.

The death-cult on the other hand, still strive to prevent the eruption from ever happening at all costs! A Blood Bowl team of their own could block the lizardmen success as much as possible, and in addition, they are tasked with helping to somehow discover what they believe is a horrible truth behind the 'heart of the volcano'. They suspect a a Blood Bowl team could discover more during travels over Orymm somehow.
On Special Conditions

Flame Bursts: Ualun's main volcano is an extremely active volcano, and will regularly spit out rocks of flame onto the island. This is represented by giving any team playing on this location with the free use of a wizard, which is to ONLY use its 'fireball' function, NOT the lightning bolt function.
