Opis
A dread figure casts its shadow across the battlefield, a skeletal giant clad
in osseous armour and wielding a skull-tipped staff that casts a sickening glow
across the earth. A nimbus of shrieking spirits swirls around this nightmarish
form. The avatar of undeath gestures with a fleshless hand, and the ground
beneath it erupts as hordes of skeletons burst from shallow graves, falling
upon their new master’s foes with rusted blades swinging. Nagash, the Great
Necromancer, surveys the carnage with cold approval. Even as his enemies are
torn apart, they rise again, slaughtering those they fought beside mere moments
earlier. Such is the will of Nagash, and such is the fate he desires for all
living things.

Nagash, you’ll find:

Nagash’s place in the grand scheme of the mortal realms, the undead creatures
that serve him and an overview of the plans he has – elimination of all life

alliance – or at least a mutual respect – existed between Nagash and the

uncountable, and Nagash’s domain;
