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.
