===[[Undead Legion]] (Formerly [[Vampire Counts]] and [[Tomb Kings]])=== * [[Queen Neferata]] sent a vampire woman (possibly Genevieve) to [[Balthazar Gelt]], giving him the blueprints to build the Auric Bastion (giant, anti-Chaos magic wall). It works for a time. * Vlad gave a Book of necromancy to [[Balthazar Gelt]], resulting in a massive spread of Necromancy throughout the Human world as well as the fall of a magic wall protecting Kislev. * [[Mannfred von Carstein]] "reveals" himself as a servant of Nagash. Him, [[Arkhan the Black]], Kemmler and Krell gather relics of Nagash including his crown, staff, and his books. Mannfred also spreads vampirism throughout the Border Princes, and his minions support not-Mordred in his bid to claim the throne of Bretonnia. He also comes to an agreement with [[Drycha]] to hand over the Fey Enchantress to him, as well as a large number of Bretonnians. * To appease Nagash while she decides whether to serve him, Neferata's army invades a Dwarf hold alongside Krell's forces to steal a relic of Valaya containing her magic, during which Thorek Ironbrow blows himself up using his anvil to protect Valaya's Gate. It is implied another Dwarf God was within the Gate. * Arkhan later curbstomps an uppity Kemmler who thinks that the Chaos Gods have his back, and it's revealed in the fight that Krell was never mindless; he was the vessel through which Nagash controlled Kemmler's actions, and his personality is intact (his personality mainly being "FUCK KHORNE, DAT ASSHOLE AIN'T GOT SHIT ON MUH BOY NAGASH"). * A large force of Elves, Dwarfs, and Empire soldiers attack the ritual site where Nagash is being resurrected. The invaders are crushed, with [[Eltharion]] being disintigrated via an empowered Curse of Years when he attempts to snap Arkhan's neck. * With the sacrifice of Aliathra, the vampirified Fey Enchantress, and Volkmar, Nagash returns to the world, further empowered with energies stolen from minor gods and ancient relics from all over the world by Neferata, Arkhan, and Mannfred. He expected to become a demigod by becoming the Everking from Aliathra, but as she is Tyrion's daughter rather than Finubar's he inherited the Curse of Aenarion as well as the power of the Elves. During the ritual, Arkhan is impressed by Aliathra's regal and conservative demeanor to the very end, which humiliates Mannfred as he attempts to make her afraid and beg for her life unsuccesfully. * Nagash immediately crowns his followers, making them "Mortarchs". Mannfred is made the Mortarch of Night, Neferata Mortarch of Blood, and Arkhan the Mortarch of Sacrament. Although Mannfred originally planned on betraying Nagash and consuming him for personal power, he is now terrified of him and sees him as a living god. Krell is made Mortarch of Despair, and he cuts a swathe of death through the Badlands destroying huge numbers of greenskins to prepare a path for Nagash's forces to travel. Meanwhile, Arkan for the first time in his life has second thoughts about serving Nagash. After all, how in a world of clattering bones and foppish Vampire minion hissyfits will he ever get a good night's sleep? He's also got a boner ("What?") for Neferata as well. * [[Luthor Harkon]] was offered Mortarchship (no pun intended). He leads a fuckhuge zombie pirate fleet into the river of Nehekara and blows up most of Zandri's fleet thanks to the Tomb Kings bringing catapults to a cannon fight. * Seeking to warn Settra of Nagash's return and suggest to Settra about wielding the Destroyer of Eternities to kill him, Khatep violated the terms of his exile and entered Khemri to do so. Though Settra listened, this went about [[blam|as well as you'd expect]] for old Khatep, this is Settra we're talking about. * Ramhotep, Undead architect extraordinare, immediately built a giant awesome wall around Khemri. * Nagash consumed one of the gods of [[Nehekhara]] (specifically Usirian, the god of the underworld) as a pre-Chaos God snack, becoming not only an embodiment of Shyish the Amethyst (Death) Wind but also the force through which all Tomb Kings reincarnate. The Priesthood now have no choice but to join him. The Chaos Gods (including Tzeentch) have become fearful of him now as they believed what he did was impossible, realizing they're playing with an equal now. Only Bel'akor thinks it's according to plan. * [[Settra the Imperishable]] led the Tomb Kings against the newly resurrected Nagash. Nagash won, held Settra in his hand and offered him position as a Mortarch. Settra replied [[Awesome|"SETTRA DOES NOT SERVE! SETTRA RULES!"]] so Nagash blew apart his body and chucked the head into the desert to watch as Nagash destroyed Khemri down to the very last stone. The rest of the Tomb Kings either joined Nagash immediately or were destroyed. Ramhotep is MIA after the fighting ended. Settra's herald, Nekaph, was destroyed by Arkhan during the battle. Prince Apophas was knocked the fuck out during the fighting, and his soul now belongs to Nagash since Naggy ate Usirian, who Apophas made his original deal with in the first place. [[Queen Khalida]], being of calm demeanor and level mind, thought about resisting but realized what a stupid idea that would be. She joined and shelved her revenge on Neferata since it was the only way she would survive long enough to do so. King Phar however decided to stand up to Nagash with full knowledge that he would get his ass kicked; he would rather go out like a boss than be another one of Nagash's underlings. Predictably, he was crushed but went out swinging. * Nagash commands all Tomb Kings to gather their forces and belongings and follow him north. He then levitated his Black Pyramid, making it a MASSIVE mobile base (it's one of the largest structures in the entire Warhammer World, second in known canon only to the Tower of Hoeth) and used it as the beacon for the endless procession of skeletons to follow. Inside, he began research on a way to purge the Curse of Aenarion from his soul. * Days after Nagash left him in the desert, Settra was still fuming about his loss and without any warning his body was fully restored. He then heard four voices laughing in his head who told him the battle was only over if he wanted it to be. He says nothing to them in return. * Thanks to the Curse of Aenarion, Nagash finds he's unable to bind the Death Wind to himself directly. Instead, he binds it to the ground of Sylvania itself and settles his now MASSIVE BEYOND COUNT Undead army there. By doing so, control of the afterlife has been usurped from [[Morr]] and the other gods of death. Dead souls from mortals now reside in Sylvania in a Greek underworld shade kind of way. While the good news is everyone is still safe from Chaos unless they are killed by a servant of Chaos, the bad news is that now you're stuck hanging out with literally everyone else who ever lived and died as a (likely bodiless) peasant of Nagash's new empire for all eternity. The Elf God of Death, Ereth Khial, was also destroyed and pieces of her went into Eldyra (who somehow became a Vampire) and she fled this world into Lileath's new one to carve out a new afterlife for Elves using the bulk of the Elf souls left that Slaanesh didn't consume, becoming new elf God of Death in the process. Between her and Slaanesh, Nagash doesn't get any Elf souls. What this means for the afterlives of the Dwarves, greenskins, and other races is unknown. * Nagash gifts the Dread Abyssals, formerly a pack of ghost skeleton dragon-things which guarded the afterlife like Cerberus, to his trinity of spellcasting Mortarchs Neferata, Mannfred, and Arkhan, and gave all of his trusted underlings command over undead angel-equivalents, the Morghasts. *Nagash resurrects [[Vlad von Carstein]] from the dead using ash and blood from Mannfred, and made him the Mortarch of Shadow as well as the commander of the bulk of his forces. Mannfred was butthurt over this, especially when Nagash dubbed Vlad "The Greatest Vampire" (what about Neferata, first of their kind?). Vlad isn't too happy either, but [[Isabella von Carstein]] didn't come back with Vlad and since his sole motivation in life other than becoming Emprah is acting like a teenage couple with Issy, the promise of Nagash to return her to life secured Vlad's total loyalty (unless he feels Naggy has it on the bottom of the To Do list anyway). Vlad immediately set out being Nagash's [[Cult Attendant]] by converting key minions from human kingdoms, and beating the shit out of anything bearing Chaos icon like a giant army-sized game of wack-a-mole. * [[Drachenfels]] has returned to canon as a Mortarch, as he has lost his memories and has been offered to have them returned to him if he fights for Nagash (so he's still basically evil [[Tom Bombadil]]). He's only referred to vaguely though, as the "Great Enchanter From The Grey Mountains" or "The Nameless". He joined Mannfred and Vlad in their constant battle against the Warriors of Chaos (if anyone can come up with tortures Slaaneshi can't enjoy, it's him). Vlad has been enjoying trolling him by saying "I know what I know boy. But I'm not telling it." * After refusing to bow to Nagash, [[Zacharias The Everliving]] is blasted to pieces for suggesting he was Nagash's equal. * [[Abhorash]], although not a Mortarch, sends some of his Blood Dragons to assist Vlad in <strike>saving the Empire</strike> slapping Archaon's shit to be declared da best. Unknown to him however, many of the Blood Dragons had started worshipping Khorne and turned on the other vampires due to the fact that if Nagash rules everything, there's nobody left to fight and drink blood from. Their leader [[Walach Harkon]] beats Karl Franz and Vlad, but gets killed because he's too busy monologuing to realize Vlad was taking control of his skeleton dragon (who then rips Walach in half). <strike>There's no word on what Abhorash or the rest of his bloodline is doing now though.</strike> Abhorash is mentioned in End Times: Archaon. Vlad stops Jerrod before he leaves Athel Loren in a hissy fit and tells him that Gilles le Breton is still alive and making a last stand at a Monastary. Asking Vlad how he knows this, Vlad replies one of his kind is fighting with Gilles le Breton, called Abhorash, who made a pledge to Gilles le Breton ages ago. Vlad then gives Jerrod some Vampire guides, including the two from Return of Nagash novel, to show him the way. Before he leaves, Vlad asks Jerrod to tell Abhorash "He was right", we do not know what this means, and I have asked Josh Reynolds what he meant and he replied it's something that would have been included in a book, but will not be written, so he's keeping it a secret, the git. * Vlad participated in the battle of Altdorf, killing a shitload of Nurgle worshippers and Daemons and earning back official Elector Counthood. After somehow ingesting the blood of a Nurgle champion (the novelization and splatbooks disagree on whether he dramatically licked his sword after stabbing him, or if the sword he uses (which absorbs blood so he doesn't have to do something undignified like drinking it) backfired on him, he flees the battle puking constantly (just in time to avoid being burned to ash by Karl's ascension). * After Khaine, who was sharing a body with Tyrion, dies in the final battle of the Elf civil war, Nagash is automatically freed from the Curse of Aenarion (which was apparently contamination with a shattered fragment of Khaine). * After Skaven nuke Nagash's flying Black Pyramid, he is forced to...parley...with the Council of Incarnates (much to the amusement of Arkhan). He becomes the Wind of Death proper, but becoming a Chaos God is no longer something he can do in the short term and he pledges his forces to stave off the end of the world. * Settra confronts Nagash during the final battle. He points his khopesh (his awesome sword) at Nagash, and calls him a usurper then explains the Chaos Gods resurrected him to kill him. Settra then performs a flip and beheads a Chaos Daemon that was about to attack Nagash, points his khopesh at him again informs him that '''NOBODY COMMANDS SETTRA'''. He tells Nagash he will claim his skull eventually, but only after killing the Chaos Gods for DARING to offer him immortality and the chance to conquer all realities in exchange for ''servitude''. He then charges into battle against Chaos by himself. For those keeping score at home, that makes Settra the ONLY being in any Warhammer who was offered literally everything there is to be offered, and give Chaos the middle finger in response. Settra the Imperishable, Settra the Incorruptable, Settra Da Best. * Mannfred, tired of being second best, betrays the world and stabs Gelt during the ritual to save the world, causing Teclis to explode as Gelt's Wind went to him. Mannfred monologued before and after, and was cut short when Tyrion stabbed him and utilized the power of the sun within his sword to incinerate him. * As magic was sucked back into the Warp, Nagash turns to dust. The Chaos Gods laugh at the idea he could have ever beaten them. * Vlad faces off against a resurrected Isabella in the final battle. Having been raised by Nurgle, she is convinced by a Daemon possessing her that Vlad had mind-controlled her upon their first meeting making their love rape. Vlad, willing to enter oblivion rather than have Isabella as Nurgle's bride, removed his self-resurrecting ring and placed it on her finger, then dove from the ramparts where the dueled just like their first deaths. Vlad was impaled on the stakes below, dying one last time. Isabella perished as well and was resurrected free from Nurgle's taint. * Neferata, seeing a massive wall of darkness destroying the land, is told by Arkhan to flee while she still has the chance while he attempts to buy her time. Continuing the romance plot established in her solo novel (which retconned old lore), she kissed his hand and grabbed the unconscious body of Isabella then mounted her Abyssal then flew for Sylvania with the sounds of Arkhan's last fight behind her causing her to weep for the only man she ever loved. Reaching the center of the Undead Legion just as her Abyssal collapsed into bones, she found that the last of the Human race and the Halflings of the Moot (brewing a hotpot) had fled there to take shelter. Neferata found Khalida calmly awaiting the end with dignity while the last of the Undead defended the last of the living. Neferata kissed Isabella's forehead and apologized for being unable to save her, then took Khalida's hand and watched the armies of the Old World and Nehekhara fight against Chaos to the last. * There may be a chance some traitor Undead achieve daemonhood, but we still have to wait for a canonical example. * There could also be a small chance that Giles le Breton and Abhorash are still alive after the end times. Because there is no mention of their deaths. Yes thats right, THEY COULD BE STILL ALIVE SLAUGHTERING CHAOS SERVANTS NON-STOP.
