For a cost, the Mortuary Cult can also resurrect powerful Legions of Legend for use in your armies. Using a combination of trade resources and Canopic Jars, the player can order the construction of unique magic weapons, armour, talismans, plus enchanted and arcane items. Keepers of the Lore of Nehekhara and the secrets of revivification, the Liche Priests of the Mortuary Cult can be called upon to construct unique and venerable items. They are used to awaken powerful units, unlock techs, perform rites and to craft unique items in the Mortuary Cult. Each of these books grants a unique campaign bonus, and puts the player a step further along the road to victory.Īncient containers filled with arcane energy, Canopic Jars can be collected through missions, buildings, and as post-battle loot. Instead, they seek the nine cursed Books of Nagash, a search culminating in an epic battle at the Black Pyramid of Nagash itself. While Tomb Kings can be played in the Eye of the Vortex campaign, they do not seek to influence the vortex, and therefore do not engage in the race for control of it. In unlife, they will see the empire of Nehekhara restored to greatness!

But this realm was razed millennia ago by the treacherous sorcery of reviled Nagash: in a stroke, the living perished and the dead rose from their tombs.ĭeath is no barrier to glory for the Tomb Kings however. There was a time when the ancient kingdom of Nehekhara stood as a crown of human civilisation a golden age when its cities shone with majestic splendour, its armies conquered entire nations and its kings ruled as gods among men. This is the Land of the Dead, where mummified kings are cursed to rule in perpetual unlife. It is a lifeless realm of endless dunes, stained red from the blood of savages and barbarians.
