===[[Tomb Kings]]=== * The lore breaks from GW's lore after Nagash entered the Black Pyramid. He doesn't conquer the Tomb Kings, Nehekhara is not destroyed, Settra does not get ripped apart or have any dealings with the Chaos Gods. * Nagash underestimated the result of eating and taking the position of a god that oversaw a fundamental part of reality (like Usirian/Morr) and the reactions of the other gods once he'd done so. While Nagash was recovering, weak after defeating Usirian, the trap was sprung. Tzeentch, seeing the threat that Nagash's ambitions represented to the Chaos Gods and personally despising Nagash's unchanging vision, decided to personally deal with the burgeoning death god, sending armies of daemons to invade the Underworld. Though the dead outnumbered the daemons, Nagash pitted his newfound power against that of the second-strongest Chaos God. There was a tremendous magical backlash between the realms. The ground shook hard enough that many of those fighting at Nehekhara were knocked off their feet, with the Black Pyramid at the epicenter. The stormclouds shrouding the battle flashed with purple and blue lightning. A bolt struck the Black Pyramid, which crumbled in on itself in a massive implosion. The final collapse sent out a shockwave that knocked many of the combatants off their feet. Sylvania glowed with magical auorae temporarily, as Death Magic bound to Sylvania burst free of the binding Nagash laid on it; Death Magic still flowed to the land, but it would inundate the earth now and could be used by anyone. In the Underworld the consequences were much worse (depending on whose perspective we're talking about). Tzeentch's forces had been pushed back temporarily, but while Nagash was able to avoid oblivion, Tzeentch had bound Nagash to the Underworld as a particularly pissed off Hades, trapped, hoping that his henchmen, Krell and Arkhan figure out a way to get him out of this job of 'overseeing the dead' (or at least bring him a Persephone to keep him company). If he burst his bindings; the Underworld would be destroyed and the souls not claimed by the remaining gods would be cast adrift; easy prey for the Chaos Gods. Abandoning plans for vengeance for the time being, Nagash seeks a way out of his imprisonment. * Nagash's crown was stripped from his head and cast back to the material realm. Whoever wore it would be a vessel for Nagash. However, with the destruction of the Black Pyramid it was Nagash's only handhold in the material plane. If it was destroyed, things would be dire for the Undying King. It currently resides under the rubble that was once the Black Pyramid, waiting to be found... * With Nagash's disappearance, the vampires are defeated by the triumphant Tomb Kings. A few vampires are slain by the vengeful Tomb Kings, some flee. Thinking quickly, Neferata takes leadership of the rest and offers a formal surrender to Settra. Despite having the view the vampires need to pay for daring to invade his land, and not trusting the vampires one bit, Settra knows the threat of Chaos and knows that while his forces can beat the Vampires, there won't be enough left afterwards to secure Nehekhara's borders. After much deliberation, Settra accepts Neferata's offer of alliance; with the magic inundating the land from Nagash's rebirth, the alliance between Neferata and Settra forms the new Undead Legion equivalent, the Undead Legion of Nehekhara. In the aftermath of the battle, Settra manages to have his herald, Nekaph, brought back from death's embrace to serve Settra again. * After the battle, Settra commissioned Rahmotep the Visionary and the remaining Necrotects to rebuild the damage done to Nehekhara during Nagash's invasion. * Khalida is enraged by Settra's alliance with Neferata; for her part Neferata is willing to put her grudge aside faced with the war. Settra promises a trial for Khalida's murder after the war is done. Seething, but lacking the might to challenge the Khermrikhara, Khalida accepts the terms. However, even afterwards she makes plans. Wars are devastating and dangerous. Neferata may not survive, and if she does, Khalida will be waiting... * Apophas is now an agent of Nagash. Infused with power, he becomes the Charon to Nagash's Hades. * King Phar, impressed by Settra's seeming defeat of Nagash, offers his support but not servitude. Mindful of the situation with a fragile alliance, Settra grudgingly accepts, planning to avenge himself on Phar at a later date. * Arkhan survives the battle. Though Nagash no longer walks the world, Arkhan can still commune with him. Arkhan offers his support to Neferata as a silent partner, which Neferata accepts with a willingness that surprises both of them. * The undead alliance form three massive armies. With the fate of the world at stake, the undead agree to ally temporarily with the living. With much of Zandri's fleet decimated, Harkon's ships serve as transport for one army. Khalida oversees Harkon to make sure he stays loyal to the plan. The second armies is mainly Tomb Kings, led by Settra to purge the Skaven from Araby; once that is done he plans to expand Nehekhara's borders by annexing and rebuilding the ruined realm. The third is led by Neferata, and are charged with taking the fight to Chaos directly in exchange for Neferata regaining Lahmia. * After the battle for the world is something of a power-play between Settra and Neferata, she knows she can't defy or challenge him directly without violent results for both sides but she works hard to assert herself. * A Skaven force tunnels into Mahrak and steals much from the kings there. With the help of vampires and their pet Dire Wolves, an army of undead tracks the Skaven to their fortress and destroys them before fortifying the invasion route; the zombified Skaven serving as its first guards. * A skirmish occurs between the undead of Rasetra and the Lizardmen after an initial expansion attempt by the former. This brings the undead to the Lizardmen's attention, with their leaders deciding to study the undead civilization before determining a course of action. * The Skaven try to bargain with Settra while at the same time sending assassins to kill him. This backfires horribly. The surviving Arabyans settle in Numas and become citizens, with their dead being inducted as undead. But not all the Sultan's subjects are willing for this to continue and some consider heading to the Empire or Tilea. * Recently Settra had set his eyes on a greater task, a bastion of evil to destroy; Nagashizzar.
