The armies of the Tomb Kings hail from the desert lands of Khemri. Reanimated by the undying Liche Priests, the
skeletal warriors of the Tomb Kings march forth to reclaim the lands they once defended in life.Long before the Old World
was civilised, an ancient civilisation known as Nehekhara came to power. The land was divided into city-states, each ruled
by its own King and defended by its own army. Over the centuries, the power-hungry Kings, frustrated by their short mortal
lifespans, sought ways to prolong their lives. Although true immortality eluded them, the rulers of Nehekhara came to believe
that if they preserved their bodies after death, powerful magic could one day revive them and they could return to power.
Elaborate tombs and pyramids were constructed to protect the remains of these dead monarchs and to house the many treasures
and warriors that were buried with the Kings to serve them when they were reborn.
The plans of the Nehekharan monarchs would one day be twisted by an ambitious Priest-King of Nehekhara known as Nagash.
Nagash raised an army of long-dead warriors to expand his lands and increase his power. It was the first time the dead were
ever made to walk. Although Nagash's mighty army was eventually defeated by a coalition of other Nehekharan kings, the mighty
priest escaped to plot his revenge. Nagash released a powerful magic spell that turned the civilisation of Nehekhara into
a dead land. To this day, the land once known as Nehekhara is a barren, sun-blasted desert where only the dead stir.There
was one unforeseen result of Nagash's great spell. The magicks he had unleashed animated the Kings in their tombs and pyramids.
The vast armies that had been buried with these rulers came to life once again, ready to defend their King in undeath. However,
the Tomb Kings and their armies were not reborn as flesh and blood as they had expected. Instead, they were returned to life
as skeletal, mummified parodies of men.
The Tomb Kings and Princes, assisted by the magically adept Liche Priests, lead a variety of troops into battle. Skeletal
infantry, cavalry, and charioteers constitute the bulk of the Tomb King forces. More specialised forces include Tomb Swarms
of undead scarab beetles, the enormous living statues known as Ushabti, great undead birds called Carrion, giant Tomb Scorpions,
catapults that can hurl skulls at the enemy, and the terrifying and destructive Bone Giants. The Tomb Kings are a relentless,
magically potent army that is resplendent on the field of battle.
