Editing Alcadizzar (section)

=== The Death of Nehekhara, Nagash and Alcadizzar ===
Alcadizzar was stripped of his gear and chained up in a cage for the long journey back to Nagashizzar. While traveling, Alcadizzar was half awake. The cart carried him through the ruins of the great cities, only stopping to occasionally force-feed Alcadizzar a warpstone-laced (or so called because the liquid gives out a fiery sensation) elixir to keep him alive. Eventually reaching the cursed dock where Ophiria had told him of his fate, where they boarded a ship of bone that carried them to Nagashizzar.

At Nagashizzar, he was dragged out of his cage by Nagash himself. Amused by Alcadizzar's weak and malnourished appearance, Nagash took great pleasure in mocking him, claiming that he only sent his army to destroy Nehekhara because he wanted the great cities to know that it was he who had brought them to ruin (leaving out Nagash only used the plague in a temper tantrum after the defeat of his first army. [[Mortarion|Hypocrite]] [[Perturabo|manchild]] [[Lorgar|lich]]...). Alcadizzar remained defiant, telling bone daddy that he would die before betraying his people.

Dismissing his claim, Nagash began his new ritual by paralyzing and painfully carving arcane symbols into Alcadizzar. Nagash explaining how Alcadizzar was the symbol he needed for this ritual, that Nagash had deliberately made the plague to spare Alcadizzar and had not killed him for that reason. That this spell would channel Nagash's magic, kill the last few people living in Nehekhara and bind them to his will. Nagash capped this off by taunting Alcadizzar that he might see his family again and possibly taking Khalida as his consort if he liked her enough, leaving Alcadizzar helpless to do anything but howl in rage.

For the entirety of the ritual, Alcadizzar could only kneel, locked in place by paralyzing needles and the power of the great ritual. The great ritual caused a swirling wind tunnel to form in the sky with green light in it's depth, as if it was a gateway to the underworld. The dead Nehekharans had gathered behind the greenlight gate, drawn by the bond of fealty they owed to Alcadizzar in life. Nagash could sense the spirits gathering behind the greenlight, as could Alcadizzar, who only searched for his dead family.

And just like that, the great ritual summoned up all the undead of Nehekhara. The ancient kings, dead commoners, soldiers. Not even dead wildlife were safe from Nagash's control. Unbeknownst to them, only the occupants of Settra's tomb hadn't risen.

After the ritual, Nagash was throughly drained but still mighty. He took out the needles from Alcadizzar and had his minions throw Alcadizzar into a dungeon, for Nagash planned to regain a bit of strength then entertain himself by torturing Alcadizzar.

In his cell, Alcadizzar was consumed by the pain and bad memories tormenting him, and could only think of how much he wished to die. That is until a figure of white light touched his cheek. It was the ghost of Neferem, the long dead queen of Khemri whom Nagash had tormented and killed long ago. Alcadizzar mistook her as his wife Khalida and so he followed her to the cell door. The door opened and two short furry rat like creatures entered the room with a huge lead box. These were the Skaven Eekrit and Eshreegar of Clan Rikek, both business partners and bitter rivals of Nagash. Knowing about Nagash's plan and a prophecy from their Grey Seer about who would kill him, they made the Fellblade: a weapon so deadly it drains the life force of those who wields it, and gave it to Alcadizzar, the Council of Thirteen protecting the wielder.

Confused and desperate, Alcadizzar opened the box and the light of Fellblade filled the entire room. Being in its presence hurt him, and Alcadizzar knew it radiated death, the kind of weapon kill a god... or an undying king. In his delusions, Alcadizzar thought this was Khalida telling him to make things right before it is too late. So he took up the Fellblade blade, which burned him and filled his body with the strength necessary to go where Nagash is and stab the fucker with it.

(It's like the main character from the Gladiator movie, he had lost everything to a tyrant and is about to kill him with the backing of traitorous allies).

Neferem's ghost approached Nagash to distract him. When Neferem disappeared, she left a white smoke, from which Alcadizzar charged. Nagash tried to block the blade with his armored hand, but the blade cut through armor and limb like they were butter. In retaliation, Nagash fired a magic bolt at Alcadizzar, but he was unharmed due to the protection rune carved on the blade (the rune enabled the spellcasters of the Council of Thirteen to protect the wielder, but some of them died from the effort). Alcadizzar then sliced Nagash's spine, which caused Nagash to feel actual pain and leech away his power with each strike. In desperation, Nagash grabbed Alcadizzar's throat and planned to crush his spine. But just as Alcadizzar was about to fall unconscious, he freed himself by severing Nagash's other arm, then went into a frenzy and decapitated Nagash.

As his head was severed Nagash let out a hideous scream and his spell came undone. Freed from Nagash's control, the mummy kings began seizing the undead soldiers to serve them, became the Tomb Kings we know and love. The dead that were slain most recently (that being Alcadizzar's people) were instead crumbled and their soul went back to purgatory.

Frenzied, Alcadizzar hacked up Nagash's body and his throne before finally stopping. The last king of Khemri, now dying and insane, took Nagash's crown and the blade and wandered off trying to find Khalida and show her he'd solved the problem. Eventually he found his way out of Nagashizzar and went into the wasteland where he was never seen again.

Legend says he is still searching for redemption.
