@@TheBookofChoyer wait wait wait, I thought this was an official video since the voice work was so perfect! Do you do audio books or somthing like that? Rare to hear a voice this clear.
i would add the book of gotrek and felix that take place in Lybaras. It doesnt tell much about the lore, but give a good insight about the TK themselves, and the difference between them and the dead rised by vampires. Also the army codex 6th edition is great for the stories.
I like how Settra woke up and immediately got to subjugating everything in Nehekhara, and only after he had conquered it he sat down and asked "alright, what the fuck is going on."
Tomb Kings: (Fighting each other) "I AM THE MOST WORTHY TO BE KING." Settra rolling up: " Yo boisss! Heard you were talking shit about who should rule MY empire."
Oh mighty, Settra... Great King, the Imperishable, Khemrikhara, The Great King of Nehekhara, King of Kings, Opener of the Way, Wielder of the Divine Flame, Punisher of Nomads, The Great Unifier, Commander of the Golden Legion, Sacred of Appearance, Bringer of Light, Father of Hawks, Builder of Cities, Protector of the Two Worlds, Keeper of the Hours, Chosen of Ptra, High Steward of the Horizon, Sailor of the Great Vitae, Sentinel of the Two Realms, The Undisputed, Begetter of the Begat, Scourge of the Faithless, Carrion-feeder, First of the Charnel Valley, Rider of the Sacred Chariot, Vanquisher of Vermin, Champion of the Death Arena, Mighty Lion of the Infinite Desert, Emperor of the Shifting Sands, He Who Holds The Sceptre, Great Hawk Of The Heavens, Arch-Sultan of Atalan, Waker of the Hierotitan, Monarch of the Sky, Majestic Emperor of the Shifting Sands, Champion of the Desert Gods, Breaker of the Ogre Clans, Builder of the Great Pyramid, Terror of the Living, Master of the Never-Ending Horizon, Master of the Necropolises, Taker of Souls, Tyrant to the Foolish, Bearer of Ptra's Holy Blade, Scion of Usirian, Scion of Nehek, The Great, Chaser of Nightmares, Keeper of the Royal Herat, Founder of the Mortuary Cult, Banisher of the Grand Hierophant, High Lord Admiral of the Deathfleets, Guardian of the Charnal Pass, Tamer of the Liche King, Unliving Jackal Lord, Dismisser of the Warrior Queen, Charioteer of the Gods, He Who Does Not Serve, Slayer off Reddittras, Scarab Purger, Favoured of Usirian, Player of the Great Game, Liberator of Life, Lord Sand, Wrangler of Scorpions, Emperor of the Dunes, Eternal Sovereign of Khemri's Legions, Seneschal of the Great Sandy Desert, Curserer of the Living, Regent of the Eastern Mountains, Warden of the Eternal Necropolis, Herald of all Heralds, Caller of the Bitter Wind, God-Tamer, Master of the Mortis River, Guardian of the Dead, Great Keeper of the Obelisks, Deacon of the Ash River, Belated of Wakers, General of the Mighty Frame, Summoner of Sandstorms, Master of all Necrotects, Prince of Dust, Tyrant of Araby, Purger of the Greenskin Breathers, Killer of the False God's Champions, Tyrant of the Gold Dunes, Golden Bone Lord, Avenger of the Dead, Carrion Master, Eternal Warden of Nehek's Lands, Breaker of Djaf's Bonds...
I love how one of Settra's titles are "Emperor of the Shifting Sands", and then six titles later, it becomes "Majestic Emperor of the Shifting Sands" Lol
The Tomb Kings are probably my favorite faction in Warhammer fantasy. They have a feel like something out of old Hollywood. You know what I mean: Dashing upper class explorer discovers an ancient tomb, full of riches beyond imagination, but also filled with legions of undead yearning to be free.
@@Vanic00 Same as there is a reason Nehekhara has never really expanded beyond it's own borders, kept in check just as much by orc, lizard and tribesmen rabble, and of course has just as much infighting as the Elector Counts.
Its an ancient ritual devised by the mortuary cult to eventually summon the the great gods of Khemri: Djaf The Tormentor, Asaph The Sky Dragon, and the Winged Dragon of Ptra. It was determined to be the only way to regain their favor after the desolation of Khemri, however its difficult to gather so much magical energy so they devised a way to generate *Duel Energy* through playing a children's card-game using powerful enchanted cards, and storing this energy in seven artifacts of incredible power, known as the millennium items. These items, in addition to being able to contain great power, also grant their wielder various unique magical abilities. Once sufficient energy had been harnessed, the plan was to gather all seven items together along with the three Khemrian god cards and finally begin the ritual. Unfortunately, one of the millennium items was a relic of nagash and had been tainted with a shard of his soul. This allowed it to retain some amount of his intellegence and knowledge, and craves to return to its master. And so its quest began to create its own corrupted version of this ritual as a means to return its dark master to life instead...
Alcadizzar haunted the halls of Nagashizzar for days, calling plaintively for a woman that only he could see. His mind shattered by guilt and the torments he’d suffered at the hands of Nagash, he eventually found his way through the fortress gates and onto the shores of the Sour Sea. Still clutching Nagash’s crown, the last king of Khemri disappeared into the wastelands in search of redemption. There are those who believe he wanders there still. They searched the fortress for the largest furnace they could find and filled it with charcoal from the enormous bins that stood outside the forges. Eshreegar and Eekrit took turns working the bellows, until the fire breathed like a living thing and the heat scorched their whiskers. Then they went and raided the nearest mine shaft for all the sky-stone they could carry. ‘Are you sure this is necessary?’ the Master of Treacheries said. ‘Without doubt,’ Eekrit said, tossing a hunk of sky-stone into the furnace. Eshreegar winced. ‘Think of the wealth you’re throwing away! Enough to buy your way back into good graces with the Under-Empire three times over! Enough to make yourself a Grey Lord if you wish!’ Another chunk of stone flew into the furnace’s roaring maw. ‘The mountain is mine now, Eshreegar,’ the former warlord growled. ‘All mine. At this point, I’m richer than the Horned God himself.’ The Master of Treacheries eyed the flames dubiously. ‘What if Velsquee goes back on his word and forgets he ever agreed to give you the mountain?’ Eekrit sniffed. ‘He can either have the mountain or the fell blade. Not both.’ They had recovered the sword and tossed it back into its lead container with as little physical contact as possible. Now it was hidden deep within the bowels of the mountain, where only the two of them would ever find it. ‘If he’s smart, he’ll take the blade back and call it even, and Velsquee is nothing if not very, very smart.’ He threw another two pieces of stone into the furnace, then gestured at the bellows. ‘Stoke the furnace while I get the cart.’ Eshreegar sighed and went to the long, wooden lever. With a grunt, he leapt up and grabbed it, then pulled down with all his weight. Air flowed into the furnace, causing it to roar. Within minutes, the skystone turned molten and the heat within changed from orange-white to a bright, baleful green. Eekrit returned a moment later, dragging a small wooden cart. Piled within was every piece of Nagash’s armour and bone they could find. The former warlord stared down at the remains and shook his head. ‘I still don’t see how we missed his right hand. It couldn’t have just crawled off on its own.’ Eshreegar shook his head. ‘We searched every inch of that dais. If it were there, we would have found it. Nagash’s prisoner must have taken it with him, along with the crown. Nothing else makes sense.’ Eekrit sighed irritably. ‘Perhaps.’ He reached in and rummaged through the pile. ‘Do you really think this will destroy him for good?’ Eshreegar asked, eyeing the roaring furnace. ‘I have no idea,’ Eekrit replied. ‘This is for my own personal pleasure.’ He grunted in satisfaction, and pulled Nagash’s grinning skull from the pile. Eekrit stared at it for a long moment, peering into the depths of its empty eye sockets. ‘I’ve been wanting to do this for a very long time,’ he said, and tossed the skull into the flames.
you see, this is why i love warhammer fantasy over 40k. you get character interactions and in depth stories of stuff that happened thousands of years ago. you would never get something even half as cool as the story of nagash being so deeply explored in 40k. it'd be a lore blurb that was vaugely mentioned and never really explored deeper.
The story of how the Skaven gave Alcadizaar the fellblade and kept him alive in his fight against nagash is one of the most hype things I'd read in a while
What I find awesome about Settra is that he’s basically a mish-mash of various legendary historical leaders. He is a glorious, horrifying mix of Alexander the Great, Qin Shi Huang Di and the Pharoah Ozymandias. A mighty conqueror who always wanted more, a seeker of immortality, a unifier of kingdoms, a right and proper ruler.
Geez, you know it's an incredible video when it gets me hyped up and excited the entire time while watching it. Especially when I've already read what's going to happen lol Also fun drinking game: take a shot of water every time I say Khemri and really get the phlem going so you can stay hydrated during the video
They only did it because if Nagash had succeeded, he would have had the numbers needed to cleanse the old world of their taint completely. All their actions, good or bad, are done in the self conceives notion that their race is superior and every skaven thinks they're the greatest of their kind
This is waaaaay better than the Mummy movies Also, I really like how you pronounced Khemri. I thought it was kem-ri, but this is more egyptian-like or exotic
I just read finish Rise of Nagash. Having played total war warhammer 2, knowing the locations of the great cities and other landmarks totally added to the reading experience. Definitely would recommend. There is a e-book humble bundle with 7 days left that includes this and other series from the Warhammer universe, thats where I got mine.
Someone will have to explain to me why is it that 1) their monuments are skellly faced 2) their infantry is supposedly made entirely by people of the kingdom, yet they do not reproduce, so their numbers can only diminish in 4k years of battles
skelly armies can be resurrected again and again. Their monuments are skelly faced because they honored their dead and gods of death more than any other
A lot of them were new monuments after the Nagash deed. As long as the Pyramid of their lord intact, the legion could regen there and march again. Same as the TK and Heroes. You need to destroy their pyramids to defeat TKs.
For your first question, it is stated that death is considered sacred and become more important than the old gods. So it is normal for them to put skelly face on everything, for religious purposes. It’s like how Christian put crosses on all churches and how daoists make Yin-yang symbol everywhere in their household.
I remember playing as high elves, concquering the west new world (from icy realm of Nagarrond to the lush jungle in Tlaxtlan). That is more than enough reason for Khemri pharaoh to ally with me And it did, splendorly beats both orcish horde and lizardmens there
i swear in my total war games, when i play as settra i get the weirdest mix of allies. one game skaven clan skyre was my main ally, another it was the high elves, one time i got chill with the lizardmen somehow. crazy stuff
fuc*ing amazingly done! I was just a bit confused as Settra was depicted as a skeleton in the early part of the video although I guess he still had a human appearance. Thumbs up!
Great thanks to you. This year me with my girl are going to visit LARP as undead and watching a video like this is so much easier and enjoyable than reading a pack of books and the army book.
Comments for the algorithm gods and views for the youtuber.... and thank you for the amazing videos... your the best of the loremasters in warhammer fantasy lore
One small detail; the plague that was set loose upon Nehekhara was by Nagash's command however it was not he or his minions that carried it out. Oh no, he made us of some 'allies' that would later betray him and save the world (if only to save themselves of course).
Thanks, I'm new to Warhammer 2 and bought Tomb Kings DLC. Really like the play, but didn't understand any of the back story. Thanks for the amazing content!
I wonder if there's any potential for an eventual post-TWW3 prequel campaign set during the Golden Age of Nehekhara, perhaps setting it concurrent with the War of the Beard? CA does seem to love making prequel campaigns...
Wild hard to follow story but it’s always like this, divine loyalty and peace w enough food to go around until someone arrogant steps up and war begins needing a king of kings. I like this Kemet like field plot Egypt(is Kemet) and found in Africa ps.
You deserve way more subcriber man every video you make is perfect and epic when TWIII will come out i'll wait your ogre kingoms video! And know that french people watch yur video too
Thanks for your words! I'm looking forward to TWIII. Looking forward to Ogre Kingdoms, Chaos Dwarfs and of course full Chaos unleashed🔥🔥 We'll see what the future brings.
The Tomb Kings......Once they were humans, like the Ancient Egyptians of our history.....The forces of Good & Evil have been at war for an eternity. The Ancient Gods protected us, yes, the Angels of the Skies and God of Christendom protected our ancestors.
This is awesome. You're narration is very much appreciated. It's much easier and more interesting to learn about the lore when narrated instead of having to read it. I hope you plan on doing videos like this for every faction in the game.
@Templar Knight This is actually really frustrating, 'cause it's true - The Skaven joining Archaeon makes no sense. They might as well have let Nagash finnish the ritual if they are willing to join Chaos and effectively destroy themselves anyway.
Yeah I hate the Endtimes too. Because of that crap, we have the non canon Age of Sigmar. It is non canon because like Disney Star Wars, it sucks, no one likes it, and therefore, it is not canon.
@Templar Knight yeah I agree with your comment on the Skaven allied themselves with Archaon during the late End Times, and it which was like wtf to myself. And not only that, the Skaven should have fight against Archaon the everchosen who was planning to destroy the world.
I found out this channel like hours ago, I must say, you are doing the BEST thing ever !!! And you do it proffesionally !!! I am sooo glad I found you !! Warhammer should be a movie, or a tv series or an endless list of movies !!
A very extremely awesome video as always The Book of Choyer, also the Tomb Kings is my most favorite faction, and best army in fantasy, secondly I love your channel you are one of my best Warhammer channels, thirdly F*** Nagash, and SETTRA DOES NOT SERVES, SETTRA RULES!!!.
Im excited to start reading the novels, I love High fantasy!! I dont know why it took me so long to figure out the difference between this and warhammer 40,000
Wait just a quick question, i thought Nagash was defeated outside the walls of Mahrak, his body oblitered by Lahmian Dragon Powder ( Source novel: Rise of Nagash). Its only after that his lesser vessels retreated back to Khemri with the allience of 7 kings in pursuit. When the kings are about to open the coffin where Nagash was, Nagash escaped in a cloud of beetles.
I just finished reading the Nagash omnibus was old lore retconned in it? Because in the books Nagash marched on Nehekara to conquer it bringing his undead legion against Ka-Sabar I think it was and that was the first time Nehekara became aware of the undead horde and his necromancy. He eventually marched on the holy city of Mahrak but couldn't break though their defences. It being the city of worship it was protected by sphinxes that Nagash couldn't break through. His brothers wife Neferem was the link between man and their gods and she was on Nagash's control he killed her which broke the covenant with the gods which took away the magic gifted upon Nehekarans the Sphinxes disappeared and all the Ushabti lost the blessings of power bestowed upon them. Then when he went to assault the city Lahmia turned on Nagash. Lamashizzar King of Lahmia used black powder weapons he got through trade with Cathay to blast apart the undead army and Nagash. All his immortals except Arkhan were killed. Arkhan who had fallen out of favor with Nagash turned on him and aided Lamashizzar leading to his imprisonment by him. Nagash severely wounded and near death fled and that's where he found the mountain with the warpstone and begun work on Nagashizzar.
That's a definitely fantastic and well spoken content, even for me who is not a native english speaker, it is very clear and your tone is understandable. You're a great lecturer, and you made it even more glorious than the story was. Thank you very much!

For your first question, it is stated that death is considered sacred and become more important than the old gods. So it is normal for them to put skelly face on everything, for religious purposes. It’s like how Christian put crosses on all churches and how daoists make Yin-yang symbol everywhere in their household.
My favorite spookie skeley boi's are finally back!
Is there a picture of Settra when he was a man? I could have sworn I saw one in my friends Army book.
Aladdin but buff as fuck
@@willgirvan2491 he didn't skip everything day?
@@Delta-mo6hn settra lifts and does cardio in one day bru
AWAKEN MY MASTERS!
@@Delta-mo6hn bro, settra has the physical strenght of a dragon ^^
I remember playing as high elves, concquering the west new world (from icy realm of Nagarrond to the lush jungle in Tlaxtlan). That is more than enough reason for Khemri pharaoh to ally with me
And it did, splendorly beats both orcish horde and lizardmens there
i swear in my total war games, when i play as settra i get the weirdest mix of allies. one game skaven clan skyre was my main ally, another it was the high elves, one time i got chill with the lizardmen somehow. crazy stuff
Nurgle: So no rot and decay? *Slams phone on the ground*
so did the recon the undead army to be a clone of the necrons lore or did this come first?
Would you be able to do a deep dive into the lore of each chaos gods. Starting from oldest, Nurgle?
6:53 Reminds me of Powerslave by Iron Maiden, about a god-Pharaoh coming to terms with his own mortality and resenting it.
My all time favourite faction. Thanks for the great video
Thank you for watching! 🙌

Nice word play.
fuc*ing amazingly done! I was just a bit confused as Settra was depicted as a skeleton in the early part of the video although I guess he still had a human appearance. Thumbs up!
Thank you sir! I couldn't find much of Settra before he became a skeleton💀But glad you enjoyed it!
Great thanks to you. This year me with my girl are going to visit LARP as undead and watching a video like this is so much easier and enjoyable than reading a pack of books and the army book.
This channel and Legend got me so hooked on Warhammer 2. I was never into fantasy games. These videos are bangers
Nagash not only experimented with necromancy. He freaking invented it.
Comments for the algorithm gods and views for the youtuber.... and thank you for the amazing videos... your the best of the loremasters in warhammer fantasy lore
Finally! A video on Nehekara that doesn’t talk about the cities and lands!
I really enjoy your approach to Lore videos good work 👍🏻
I love this, more Warhammer Fantasy Lore videos is always a nice thing and I LOVE the way you present these stories! keep it up!
One small detail; the plague that was set loose upon Nehekhara was by Nagash's command however it was not he or his minions that carried it out. Oh no, he made us of some 'allies' that would later betray him and save the world (if only to save themselves of course).
🐀🐀🐀🐀
I love this channel. Never stop making videos.
just found this cause my DM gave me a bunch of tomb king troops to build and paint, man i gotta say im digging it and settra is a cool bone bro.
Enjoy your painting time brother 😃🙌🏼 glad you found the channel! May you bring glory to the Tomb Kings in your future battles.
Egypt being a horror story for itself even in the Warhammer Universe.
Best Warhammer fantasy channel out there.
Thanks, I'm new to Warhammer 2 and bought Tomb Kings DLC. Really like the play, but didn't understand any of the back story. Thanks for the amazing content!
Glad you found it useful! Enjoy the game Bryan!😃
I wonder if there's any potential for an eventual post-TWW3 prequel campaign set during the Golden Age of Nehekhara, perhaps setting it concurrent with the War of the Beard? CA does seem to love making prequel campaigns...
Yes, I'd buy that. We can only hope 🙏🙂
Damn skaven you did it you saved the world
This channel is what got me into Warhammer Fantasy as of now. I only wish I had gotten into this lore earlier
Welcome brother! It's never too late.
These movies help me relax especially the narration thanks scrubasaurus
This is the best warhammer lore video out there! Most are very dry and boring but you are such a great story teller bro.
So coming at this as a long time 40k fan that never paid mind to Fantasy Warhammer, they're basically Necrons, but honest with themselves. Got it.
Wild hard to follow story but it’s always like this, divine loyalty and peace w enough food to go around until someone arrogant steps up and war begins needing a king of kings. I like this Kemet like field plot Egypt(is Kemet) and found in Africa ps.
can't belive I just found your channel.....
so many hours of unseen vids...
yay me !!
Welcome to the channel Max!
You my friend deserve a tv channel. I love your videos. Please make more .
Thank your brother!🙌
You deserve way more subcriber man every video you make is perfect and epic when TWIII will come out i'll wait your ogre kingoms video! And know that french people watch yur video too
Thanks for your words! I'm looking forward to TWIII. Looking forward to Ogre Kingdoms, Chaos Dwarfs and of course full Chaos unleashed🔥🔥 We'll see what the future brings.
The Tomb Kings......Once they were humans, like the Ancient Egyptians of our history.....The forces of Good & Evil have been at war for an eternity. The Ancient Gods protected us, yes, the Angels of the Skies and God of Christendom protected our ancestors.
Absolutely stunning video. I'd love to see one made about archaon the everchosen.
Why do you only have 60k subs like this is content of higher quality than 99% of the rest of TH-cam
🙏🙂 I appreciate your kind words. Thank you.
This is awesome. You're narration is very much appreciated. It's much easier and more interesting to learn about the lore when narrated instead of having to read it.
I hope you plan on doing videos like this for every faction in the game.
I'm glad to hear that my friend! And yes that's the plan in the long term. I hope I can do each race their justice :) Cheers!
my dude your voice is dope it reminds me of my childhood days watching dinosaur documentries n stuff
great video, and for those interested i higly recommend The Rise of Nagash trilogy.
Just bought warhammer 2. My God it's amazing!!! I've only played Trion but will eventually play them all
Wow, who would have ever thought that the most vile race in Warhammer fantasy would save the world.
The Skaven
@Templar Knight This is actually really frustrating, 'cause it's true - The Skaven joining Archaeon makes no sense. They might as well have let Nagash finnish the ritual if they are willing to join Chaos and effectively destroy themselves anyway.
Yeah I hate the Endtimes too. Because of that crap, we have the non canon Age of Sigmar. It is non canon because like Disney Star Wars, it sucks, no one likes it, and therefore, it is not canon.
@Templar Knight yeah I agree with your comment on the Skaven allied themselves with Archaon during the late End Times, and it which was like wtf to myself. And not only that, the Skaven should have fight against Archaon the everchosen who was planning to destroy the world.
@Templar Knight also I agree with you again and the Skaven pretty much fuck themselves during the End Times as well.
This is pure gold, awesome video
Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed it🙌
Love the use of Assassin's Creed Origins pictures to blend the lore with something visual
These lore videos are amazing, i love it!
That AC:Origins footage :)))
How does this not have more views
Will there be some videos about Knightly order of the empire or other heros like helburg?That must be cool!
Yes Captain Kin! Can confirm ✅
I remembered the first time Nagash was shot by a gun thus defeated.
Just started watching these videoes to catch up on the lore for total warhammer 2. Love them, you guys are fantastic! I can’t wait to watch more!
I like to think that one of the main reasons of the hate of Settra for Nagash is that he dared to make a bigger pyramid than him
Awesome video! Great overview of the Tomb Kings.
RIP Tomb Kings
I think not :D :D :D :D
I found out this channel like hours ago, I must say, you are doing the BEST thing ever !!! And you do it proffesionally !!! I am sooo glad I found you !! Warhammer should be a movie, or a tv series or an endless list of movies !!
wow thanks a lot for your words sir!🙌😃 I hope you find the channel´s content entertaining.
3:13 other than the "Sprigs of eternal life" none of these locations look really inviting.
Wow. This is amazing.
Wow, great stuff.
you make such great videos man. the youtube community of TW warhammer is half of the reason i love the game.
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks a lot!
This is great! This adds so much falvour to my gameplay :D Thanks a lot!!!
A very extremely awesome video as always The Book of Choyer, also the Tomb Kings is my most favorite faction, and best army in fantasy, secondly I love your channel you are one of my best Warhammer channels, thirdly F*** Nagash, and SETTRA DOES NOT SERVES, SETTRA RULES!!!.
"I will beat you with 30 chariots for your insolence." -Settra the Imperishable
love total war love the warhammer world love the tomb kings and love your story telling now following this channel 😍😍😍
THEN YEARS IN THE FUTURE, THEY BECAME NECRONS
Nope.avi
Warhammer Fantasy and 40k are separate universes, but there are rumors that the Warp connects the two.
Im excited to start reading the novels, I love High fantasy!! I dont know why it took me so long to figure out the difference between this and warhammer 40,000
Their best video by far is still the origin of skaven though, that was just too good
What a glorious video this was.
Wait just a quick question, i thought Nagash was defeated outside the walls of Mahrak, his body oblitered by Lahmian Dragon Powder ( Source novel: Rise of Nagash). Its only after that his lesser vessels retreated back to Khemri with the allience of 7 kings in pursuit. When the kings are about to open the coffin where Nagash was, Nagash escaped in a cloud of beetles.
I really liked this video! Good job!
I just finished reading the Nagash omnibus was old lore retconned in it? Because in the books Nagash marched on Nehekara to conquer it bringing his undead legion against Ka-Sabar I think it was and that was the first time Nehekara became aware of the undead horde and his necromancy.
He eventually marched on the holy city of Mahrak but couldn't break though their defences. It being the city of worship it was protected by sphinxes that Nagash couldn't break through.
His brothers wife Neferem was the link between man and their gods and she was on Nagash's control he killed her which broke the covenant with the gods which took away the magic gifted upon Nehekarans the Sphinxes disappeared and all the Ushabti lost the blessings of power bestowed upon them. Then when he went to assault the city Lahmia turned on Nagash. Lamashizzar King of Lahmia used black powder weapons he got through trade with Cathay to blast apart the undead army and Nagash. All his immortals except Arkhan were killed. Arkhan who had fallen out of favor with Nagash turned on him and aided Lamashizzar leading to his imprisonment by him. Nagash severely wounded and near death fled and that's where he found the mountain with the warpstone and begun work on Nagashizzar.
Brilliantly done, I am always interested in WH undead lore.
I love these shows you put up. Very good work, keep it up.
Just a question, is there detailed books about the warhammer universe?
Hahaha man sorry just read your comment
Here you go brother!

I really like your storytelling. It's very immersive, you've got a new subscriber
AMAZING video bro!!! You could be such a great GM!!! stay safe n keep up the good work. subbed
That's a definitely fantastic and well spoken content, even for me who is not a native english speaker, it is very clear and your tone is understandable.
You're a great lecturer, and you made it even more glorious than the story was.
Thank you very much!
Skaven hero's?
