Editing Nagashizzar (section)

=== The Coming of Nagash ===
After Nagash's first defeat and exile, he discovered just how useful Warpstone was for him. This made him want more of it, which led him to where the Yaghur lived. Like an Isekai MC, Nagash infiltrated the tribe, probing for their strengths and weaknesses. When the time was right, Nagash dug out the mountain's Warpstone and used its power to conquer the tribe with his Undead and magic. Somewhere along the line, Nagash befriended a young acolyte named '''Hathurk''', who mistook Nagash for the same mountain god their people had worshiped long ago. With Hathurk's help, Nagash went to where the village chieftains were, intimidating them into submission by [[edgy|sitting on top of a palanquin littered with the corpses of their high priests]]. Nagash ensured their loyalty by promising them the secret of the Forsaken's alleged [[Chaos|prowess]]. 

The actual "secret" was their forgotten technology and lost knowledge that the Forsaken retained, but Nagash knew the Yaghur were too stupid and incompetent to distinguish that bone daddy just straight up told them to eat each other, and the Yaghur were stupid enough to follow along.

The war with the Forsaken took a long and tedious 247 years to end. Mainly because Nagash was preoccupied with the construction of Nagashizzar during that time instead of actually leading the war effort. An uncountable amount of undead workers were used in the construction of the fortress, with their numbers no doubt being supplied by the war-dead. The completed fortress itself was so terrifying that it made even the battle-hardened Forsaken flee screaming in terror.

The Yaghur during this time had been practicing cannibalism under Nagash's guidance, with the result that they were slowly devolved into '''[[Ghouls]]''', pale creatures who feasted on human flesh. The village they used to live in completely devolved into messy nests and crypts suitable for such beasts.
