Nagash is the ruling god of the Realm of Shyish of the Mortal Realms and the god of death of Sigmar's Pantheon.

Wreathed in necromantic grandeur and dark sorcery, Nagash is a god of darkness and death given huge and terrible form. For aeons far beyond reckoning of mortals he has endured, though countless foes have tried to slay him. Even when his enemies have brought him low with sword or spell, it is but a setback, for what is a thousand years of slumber to one who cannot truly die? Time and again Nagash has risen from his grave. Each time, fresh armies of the unliving have been raised up and mustered to wage war against his foes, for Nagash claims lordship over Shyish and all that dwell there. Across kingdoms of endless night, seas of ice-cold blood and ancient tombs the size of continents, Nagash and his Deathlords rule. Their ultimate goal is to spread their dominion over all the realms. Once the living have been eradicated, the realms will be filled with tireless and obedient hordes of the undead, and Nagash will rule unopposed over them all.

Nagash Timeline


The Age of Myth
Nagash was found by Sigmar deep in the lowest underworlds, buried beneath a mountain-cairn of stone. He ascended into godhood and was the ruler of the Realm of Shyish. To return the favor, Nagash joined with Sigmar and his pantheon of gods who created a glorious golden age for the Mortal Realms. While the pantheon remained strong many new settlements grew over the Eight Realms, great empires rose and, for a while, treachery was banished.

But as the utopia grew stronger, the gods began to pursue their own agendas and in doing so weakened the Great Alliance.

The Age of Chaos
While the Age of Myth unfolded, the Dark Gods were watching beyond time and reality. Each plotted to claim these ripe new lands for their own. In order to find its way into the Mortal Realms, they needed to breach the barrier between their own realms and reality. Their schemes weakened the Great Alliances and they won the war against Sigmar and the other gods.

War of Heaven and the Underworlds
While initially remaining on his side Nagash eventually abandoned Sigmar. In a rage, Sigmar stormed Shyish in pursuit of the god of death. However, before the fight could be concluded Sigmar was forced to return his attention to the losing battle against Chaos with Nagash retreating to the realm of death.

War of Bones
After surviving the duo invasion of Sigmar and Skaven forces, the Great Necromancer was in no shape to withstand the invasion of Archaon. Archaon's armies defeated the weakened forces of Nagash and he defeated Nagash in combat. Being the god of death and therefore unable to truly die Nagash instead escaped to the underworld Stygxx and waited once again to regain his power.

Aspects of Nagash


He has a number of aspects for like Sigmar he contains multitudes - All are one in Nagash and Nagash is all.

Black Priest: He who gives succour to those whose deaths are too painful to be borne.

Nagash-Mor: Calm and silent, he weighs the hearts of dead souls against a feather.

Nagash unbound:
A titan of death who strides across a field of corpses and wherever his shadow falls the dead rise and walk, ravening for the flesh of the living.

The Forlorn Child: He leads those who die before their allotted time to gentle slumber.

The Undying King: He leads the nine hundred and ninety-nine legions to war and walks in every man’s shadow and wades in every man's blood. The one who draws up the ­bodies of the enemy and hurls them back at their allies and who will not rest until the realm of death is scoured clean of false life. [2]
