===Nagash Book 1=== [[File:End Times- Nagash.png|thumb|right|350px|''RUN RUN RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN! YOU CAN'T BEAT ME, I'M THE SKELLINGTON MAN!'']] The first of the End Times saga, it lays down the general basis of how bad it's going. Archaon's making another push and plowed Kislev, the Fire Mouth and every other volcano in the Ogre Kingdoms erupted at once, Skaven stopped backstabbing (mostly) to start gathering, and Arkhan and Mannfred are busy gathering ancient relics and sacrifices of divine personage to resurrect Nagash while battling both each other over Mannfred's attempts at manipulation and Gelt's Wall of Faith. Kemmler tries early on to convince Arkhan to join Chaos so he can actually take control of his destiny, but Arkhan's loyalty literally transcends death, so Kemmler gets blown to bits. Several parties (Eltharion and the High Elves, Araloth and the Wood Elves, Ungrim and his Dwarfs, Hans Leitdorf (Brother to everyone's favorite insane Elector Count) and some Empire Knights, and Beastmen under Malagor the Dark Omen) try to break into Sylvania to foil the resurrection and/or rescue the hostages. They all fail, for various reasons, except for Eltharion's party. They put the hurt on Mannfred's forces but just arrive too late and Eltharion gets turned to dust by Arkhan right before the latter offs Aliathra. Nagash himself returns to the world and rips the Wind of Death from the vortex to bind it to himself, but fails and binds it to Sylvania with the side effect of raising the dead across the world and giving everyone the ability to use Necromancy. Mannfred realizes he underestimated Nagash and reluctantly bends the knee. When Nagash returns, he realizes that he has the Curse of Aenarion on him (Since Aliathra isn't really Finubar's daughter but Tyrion's), and thus can't be a god...yet. He still has enough power to resurrect Vlad and grant his Mortarchs the [[Dread Abyssal|Dread Abyssals]] and [[Morghasts/Hammurai|Morghasts]]. While this is happening, Neferata takes a leaf from Lara Croft and decides to go robbing a Dwarf stronghold to get something to keep her hide out of the fire when Nagash comes calling. It doesn't end well as the Goblins who are also robbing the place prove to be real sneaky and Neferata's gotten rusty as a front-line commander. Her underestimating them and a rogue chimera attack leads to her almost getting killed. She only gets saved thanks to Nagash's resurrection releasing a massive shockwave of dark magic that heals all her injuries and Krell arrives with an army to keep an eye on her so that she doesn't go traitor. They eventually get through to the loot and only retrieve it after Thorek Ironbrow overloads his anvil and blows up the entire stronghold. Neferata and Krell survive but much of their armies are destroyed. Meanwhile, Balthazar Gelt has been getting shafted by lady luck, first by everyone's suspicions about the Wall of Faith, then the upkeep of the Auric Bastion faltering (One of these faults leading to the rise of Valten) and his own suspicions on the Changeling being inside the Empire (Which he coordinated with Ar-Ulric Emil Valgeir). Somewhere during the maintenance, he meets with Vlad, who gives him a book on Necromancy. Gelt tries to resist, but the possibility of sparing living people by using the dead to defend the Empire proves too beneficial to resist and slides down the slippery slope. Elector Count Ludenhof tries to put a stop to the blasphemy, but ends up enraging Gelt's undead more and dies. Desperate, he starts believing that Valten is the Changeling and charges to at least salvage his reputation by foiling the assassination attempt on Karl Franz. Though he and Valten stop the assassination attempt, revealing Valegeir to have been the Changeling, Gelt exposes his new necromancy to everyone and gets booted out. This results in the Auric Bastion and the Gold Collage being dismantled out of fear of further corruption and Amber Wizard Gregor Martak takes his place as Supreme Patriarch. This collapse leads to a massive battle with Crom's legion, which is routed by Valten's presence, and later a band of Chaos Blood Dragons, who strike down the Emperor and Deathclaw. The Blood Dragons are revealed to have become Khorne worshipers and Walach Harkon himself gets eaten alive by his own zombie dragon when Vlad takes control of it with his magic. This all wraps up when the various Vampires armies enter Nehekara. Settra knew they were coming so he consolidates the best of Nehekhara's troops around Khemri, leaving the other cities with token defences. Krell and Dieter Helsnicht smack up King Phar's forces, pushing through the blockade of Numas. Arkhan takes all the dead from Nagashizzar and uses them to wreck Mahrak and Quatar (with the help of some Tomb King traitors). Khalida forces Neferata into a stalemate at Lahmia's ruins, causing both to retreat. Luthor Harkon's pirate ships wreck the Nehekharan fleet and join forces with Mannfred's army to push through Zandri. Prince Apophas is told of the Destroyer of Eternities by a Skaven and then uses it to try (and fail) to kill Nagash. The last battle involves Nagash taking the battle to Settra. After a lengthy battle he enters the Underworld, beats down the Nehekharan god of the underworld Usirian with the help of Dieter and the souls there, consumes him and replaces him before returning to Nehekhara and smashing Settra's army to bits. The necromancer offers Settra his life as a Mortarch, but Settra's to proud to accept and refuses, causing Nagash rips him to pieces without killing him (comes with being undead). Nagash takes command of the surviving Tomb Kings forces, single-handedly destroyed Khemri as an example before the undead destroy Nehekhara's other cities before heading back to Sylvania with the Black Pyramid (it can fly now). Back in the ruins of Khemri, Setrra is stuck as a head in the sand trying to scare away hungry vultures... [[Chaos Gods|OR IS HE? (DUN DUN DUNNN)]]
