  • The ancient armies of the Tomb Kings are vast beyond counting. Loyal even in death, legions of skeletal infantry, cavalry and chariots advance at the side of their mummified lords as a diverse array of giant stone effigies stride across the battlefield to smash their foes asunder.

    Thank you for watching! This is a basic lore overview video that goes over the main points in the history of the Tomb Kings, if you want to read more I’ve included a couple of book recommendations (with their links) in the video description. One of the main challenges for this episode was trying to represent with visual cues the Great Land before it was transformed into the wasteland that is today. Let me know in the comments what you think. Remember to watch at the highest resolution available! Hope you enjoy the video!!

    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.

      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...

    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.

    This channel is truly the epitome of underrated.
    These videos are fantastic; everything about them. The narration. The script. The editing. The mini movies made from in game battles, utilizing trailers and even the opening race cinematics. Timing certain things (such as the in game movies) with the narration so that it has more impact. Even down to little things such as the subtitles, are greatly appreciated. Everything about the way you guys tell these stories is perfect IMO.
    There is so much effort that goes into making these videos and it's truly a damn shame that you guys don't have more subscribers. All Warhammer fans that don't know about this channel are missing out on something incredible.

      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

Also the army codex 6th edition is great for the stories.

      For your first question, it is stated that death is considered sacred and become more important than the old gods.

It’s like how Christian put crosses on all churches and how daoists make Yin-yang symbol everywhere in their household.
