Editing Mortarch (section)

==Age of Sigmar==
To manage his new realm of Death and collect all the souls that he imagines he's owed, [[Nagash]] reestablished the Mortarchs. Every Mortarch that got a new model during the end times reprized their roles, including Mannfred using the [[Transformers|Starscream]] approach of super apologizing (also because Mannfred's schemes act as a goad for the other Mortarchs, a reminder for Nagash not to get complacent and whenever Mannfred fails Nagash enjoys torturing him over it).

After establishing three of the originals, Nagash sought out more Mortarches to lead his various factions. Ushoran also made it to the new setting, but he proved too elusive and mentally unstable to be put to the task of uniting the also unstable Flesh Eater Courts under one banner. When the Nighthaunts emerged en-masse following the Necroquake, Nagash found that Lady Olynder had organized many of them into an Empire. He appointed her Mortarch of Grief, her name based on the waves of sorrow radiating from her that drew Nighthaunts and could be weaponized against the living, later marrying her to Kurdoss who served as her adviser to help curb her tendency for recklessness. During the Soul Wars Olynder killed the Celstant-Prime and freed Katakros' soul from one of Sigmar's Stormvaults, then Nagash gave Katakros a new body and to work building up Nagash's new Stormcast-inspired army the [[Ossiarch Bonereapers]] (build up literally, as their bodies are made from souls put into new bodies of re-molded bone and Katakros is in charge of collecting a "Tithe of Bones" to keep making more).

A lore entry in the game "Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground" attests that there are once again a total of nine Mortarchs. To quote Arwen in Fellowship of the Ring: "Where the other four are, I do not know."
