Heinrich Kemmler, the Lichemaster

where is Krell in a world full of monsters demons and uncaring gods there are a few races who suffer more than men cursed with brutally short lives compared to those of the elder races even without the world's many dangers considered many humans have sought out ways to extend their time from mere decades to centuries or even longer this quest for immortality reached a climax during the life of nagesh the great betrayer with the birth of necromancy and undeath into the world since those ancient times many men have delved into the dark lore of necromancy in an attempt to achieve ultimate power and immortal life but very few have ever come close to claiming the gash's empty throne Frederic van Howell theatre helsh Nate and Caden almighty necromancer's who have risen over the ages to try and claim supreme authority over the undead but none have come closer than the feared master necromancer named heinrich Kemmler prepare yourself listener as we delve into the history of a man worthy of nagesh is power the Lich masters tale began 5 centuries ago in the great imperial city of Nome if some vague rumors are to be believed he was fortunate enough to be born into a family of at least some wealth for Kindler's father was an avid collector of many types of literature this desire for knowledge seemed to have been passed down as young Heinrich quickly mastered the ability to read and often would spend time in his father's study attempting to learn new languages and decipher complex texts yet as he grew into a proper young man kimly noticed all too swiftly the adverse effects that aging began to have on his parents he swiftly came to the decision that mortality deserved no place in his future around this time Heinrich felt a strange compulsion calling to him from a hidden drawer concealed within the study easily discovering how to uncover the bizarre script he realized within moments that before him lay dark and forbidden lore poorly translated copies of none other than the infamous books of nagesh spoken about by scholars and hushed whispers that fateful day the young man took his first unflinching steps towards unlimited power and immortality once more our faith smiled upon Kemmler in a twisted fashion as experimentation showed that he possessed the rare talent of being able to sense and shape the winds of magic with nothing but half true written instruction to guide him Heinrich dove into necromancy without fear and proved to be an adept student it wasn't long before he left home and began wandering the old world collecting what scraps of dark lore he could discover and increasing his skill with each passing day by his fortieth year kimly already could raise entire graveyards full of corpses with ease after this point the Lich Master spent the next few centuries wandering the old world in search of powerful artifacts and dark lore he would stop at nothing to acquire some inkling of further knowledge as his power continued to swell eventually delving through forgotten libraries and ancient crypts wasn't enough so Kim ler sought out more substantial sources for what he desired he began raiding Wizards towers and dark temples slaughtering any necromancer or vampire who dared stand against him this led to finding much higher quality arcane knowledge and is likely where Heinrich slowly gathered the various magical items that would become his most prized possessions this endless crusade against other dark sorcerers is what truly began to add M Fahim lers as he defeated numerous powerful cults and eldritch abominations across the old world in Bertoni a-- he famously defeated the seemingly unstoppable master necromancer cabal known as the Council of nine years later Heinrich scattered the charnel Congress in the Empire who rumor has it faced the famous duo of goat wreck and Felix sometime later far to the south and Italian capital of Mariano he would conquer lady Camilla of Lamia sacking her den full of precious lore and forcing her to flee disgracefully into the wilderness the necromancers most famous victory however would be over the Lich's of the black circle horrific Li powerful creatures that lurked in the crypts beneath capped over massage he bound the magical beings to his will and from that point onward took up the title of lich master beyond annihilating rivals and plundering their vaults however heinrich also spent much of his time preparing various complex plots and the many nations of men often he would use his magic to disguise himself acting as an advisor to kings and emperors to move the very course of history more in his favor not all of his schemes paid off though occasionally some frustrating do-gooder or noble annoyance would stumble upon his works and disrupt them the most notable case of this was Lamas Intel a be an ancient holy temple in Patania that had been built during the reign of the first King G libera torn by a mysterious benefactor from the east the lich master had long ago cast his hungry gaze upon the abbey as it was here the Bertoni ins kept the most powerful and accursed items unfortunately the protective wards guarding it were absurdly powerful and the damsels gift of foresight always ensured an army of knights would be waiting to defend it often the Duke of quenelles would personally lead such engagements and thus the lich master grew too deeply despised that a law little did he realize this hated rivalry would only get worse in the ages to come all of this had been mere child's play however compared to the second most defining event that would occur in Kimber's life roughly fifty to a hundred years before the modern age the necromancers power had grown to mind-numbing levels and his knowledge of Dark Lord and necromancy was second to none safe nagesh himself thus and a repeat of history he would prepare a ritual to dominate the lands of the living from the grave mountains but as had happened with nagesh and van Howell this moment was to be interrupted by enemies the lich master found himself confronted by the combined might of all his rivals from over the years necromancer's and vampires united under a singular objective to slay kim leur once and for all known as the battle of 10,000 skulls massive undead armies battled as the skies burned with magic unleashed by both sides the lich master stood alone but his power was truly incredible and the earth shuddered from his frantic barrage of spells and counter spells yet as the battle reached its climax something went terribly wrong a force that had always been with him since he first discovered those forbidden texts in his father's office was suddenly gone a hollow emptiness remained and from that void Heinrich felt his strength slipping he realized that without question should this battle continue he would die full of rage and denial about this sudden weakness Kemmler refused to allow death to claim him here with a final anguish cry he gathered a colossal amount of magic and Unleashed it as a devastating explosion the resulting fallout ended the battle instantly scattering those who weren't incinerated and leaving the battlefield as a smoking ruin although ultimately Heinrich had claimed victory his body was broken and his mind shattered all that remained was a crippled half-sane old man after the Battle of 10,000 skulls Kendler wandered the gray mountains and boarder princes for decades with his power gone the former necromancer struggled to survive as a beggar on the fringes of civilization that is until one day a familiar feeling from a forgotten time long ago caught Heinrichs attention luring him once more up into the steeps of the gray mountains he journeyed for weeks without rest despite the cold and treacherous terrain until finally stumbling upon a frozen lake in the Imperial calendar year of 2491 compelled to continue forwards Kemmler discovered a massive burial mound that towered above him sigils covered the ancient Barrow clearly magically crafted runes and wards meant to contain whatever being rested within stumbling forwards the old man knelt before the tomb and read a history of blood and slaughter and scribed upon the stone he read the tale of the chaos champion Krell the hold breaker the lord of the undead the butcher of Carrick Ungowa the doom of kadek bard once a champion of corn Crowell devastated the Dwarven realms until he was slain by Grimble iron helm at Carrick Catherine yet his story didn't end there as his corpse was taken by his followers to the gray mountains and entombed there until it was discovered by nagesh the undying having returned once more to life and searching for his crown of sorcery the great necromancer saw a potential Lord to lead his legions and decided to raise Krell as his own thus Nagesh wrestled Krell soul away from the Dark Gods and offered him eternal life to seek battle as an undead white instead of settling for the blood-soaked abyss Korn had tossed him into resurrected as his right hand Krell would go on to cut a bloody swathe through sick mars dwarven allies at the battle of the river Reich until the great necromancer himself was defeated by the god king however while most of the undead crumbled away the lord of the undead cut his way free and let his doomed legion out it would take months of bloody pursuit before Sigmar would catch up to the white king at the Battle of glacier lake and finally bring an end to his campaign of destruction and death here the dwarves and Men of the newly founded Empire constructed a magical tomb to seal away the threat once and for all stunned by such an incredible find hatred welled up within Kemmler as the irony of his situation dawned on him of course fate would mock him in such a way allowing him to discover the greatest treasure a necromancer could find after his powers had long since deserted him in those moments of dark contemplation sinister voices whispered to the Fallen sorcerer sultry tones that promised glory he so rightly deserved to return the power that had so unjustly been stolen from him and the shattered remains of Kemmler mind a spark of desire reignited an inferno of will that night a bargain was struck between madman and laughing gods in return for slaughter in their name the dark gods granted the mortal return of all the powers he had once held and thus with a rumble of ominous Thunder the lich master was reborn finally restored heinrich Kemmler screeched with triumph and unleashed his sorceress might against Krell's tomb obliterated the wards containing them moments later a red armored fist smashed the heavy of city and door aside and out stepped Krell his infamous black axe at his side as the lich master returned him to unlife once more with one of the world's greatest warriors as his new champion bodyguard in general Kindler knew exactly where he wished to go to announce his return to power raising the whites contained within the glacier lake known as the doomed legion to act as his armies Corps the necromancer marched directly west towards Bartow Nia to conquer Lamas and tell Abby once and for all resurrecting hundreds upon hundreds of corpses as he went along the Lich Master made no secret of his approach towards the holy site and was delighted to discover the Bertoni ins had already rallied a sizeable force under the current Lord of quenelles Duke Tang grid' that night xiii battled Lamas Intel Abby took place with Bertoni and chivalry and Lance's crashing against shambling hordes although the necromancers army was massive and Crowe proved to be virtually unstoppable things began to go awry after hours of fighting despite his immense power Kindler found the wards defending the shrine where his potent as ever causing the undead to be sapped of the very power which animated them and slowing the effectiveness of his troops to make matters worse duke tancrède was a brilliant general and a mighty warrior leading devastating charges against the undead but not allowing his cavalry to be surrounded and pinned in although the Lich Master may have been able to win eventually it was only a matter of time until Bertoni and reinforcements arrived the skim ler chafing at the indignity of a loss so early into his return summoned Krell to him and the two fled the battlefield unfortunately for the master necromancer Duke tankard had remembered this ancestral foe of his kingdom and swore then and there to hunt down the Lich master once and for all in the name of the lady thus the two would clash on many occasions over the years whenever Kemmler tried to enact schemes in Bartow Nia deepening his hatred for the nation of chivalry and to something borderline obsessive after the 13th Battle of Lamas and tell Abby the next major strike Heinrich would undertake was against a much different foe subtly guided by the whispers of the chaos gods the necromancer turned his attention to the enchanted forest of Ethel Lauren in the winter of 2495 while most of the forest spirits slept he entered the forest under a cloak of mists and shadows to easily bypass the outer defenses darting the Fae realm from intruders Krell was left to pursue other missions elsewhere as his corrupted form would be like a beacon to the watchful eyes protecting a Belle Lauren carefully Heinrich followed secret paths until arriving at a truly massive burial ground known as the cairn Aust where many barbarian hordes have been buried discarding the spells concealing him Kindler stepped onto the grave soil and made his preparations for a grand ritual to raze all its vengeful dead by the time patrolling glade riders spied the elderly man and spurred to the attack it was too late thousands of White's zombies and skeletons burst from the ground and in a matter of moments the elves were butchered cackling at his success the lich master prepared to invade berto nia with his newfound army but paused when he felt a sudden compulsion - instead direct his forces against the heart of the forest itself thus he gestured for his legions to march easily perceiving through the magics that attempted to confuse interlopers and speared directly for the oak of Ages itself this proved to be an erroneous decision as although the necromancer had timed his entry into a thought Lorin to take advantage of their winter lethargy not all the forest spirits were fully at rest so when a host of screaming dryads charged out from the trees with the mighty tree Lord earth who leading them things descended into unexpected chaos the Battle of the Cairns was a brutal affair the full details of which can be learned in the dirty legendary lore video during his famous battle section for those interested in the end despite nearly slaying the most ancient elder of the forest with bombardments of raw magical power Kindler was forced to retreat after what elf reinforcements ambushed the glade to further support dersu this lost proved exceptionally irritating but at the least the Lich Master had succeeded in disrupting the fitful sleep of the dead beneath at that Loren and his necromancy would go on to poison its deep roots for many years Heinrich's swiftly reunited with Krell and the two returned to their wanderings the necromancer planting agents in nations and castles across the old world to prepare for future activities the most notable of these was a young acolyte he took on in the empire named denikin The Apprentice necromancer was a native to Ryland and after swearing himself to the Lich Master was carefully moved into place for an imported plot to take place years later however Kindler was forced to return to Bertoni a once more as word reached him that his cabal's and acolytes were being discovered and purged by one very determined Berto nian Lord Duke tankard an raged at this glorified pig farmers constant interference the necromancer decided it was time to end things once and for all he and Krell set off for quenelles with all haste carefully setting a trail of breadcrumbs that would lead the heroic dolt right to them at long last ten years after their first meeting the final battle between Heinrich Kemmler and Duke tankard of Qin ELLs took place on Montford bridge a crucial crossing point on the winding road between Lamas and tile Abbey and the great city of pair of on the battlefield greatly favored the undead as well the bridge was large enough to accommodate a sizeable force it didn't allow the room for complex maneuvers or strategies the Duke had hoped his peasant levies would be able to hold long enough for catapult and Archer fire to weaken the undead legions but this proved to be a costly mistake as the giggling necromancer simply sent much of his grave guard legions led by Krell through the fast moving waters themselves the armored dead simply walked across the riverbed before emerging unconcerned and surrounding those upon the bridge the infantry were utterly slaughtered trapped between Krell's acts and Kemmler sorcery raising the butchered peasants back as zombies thousands of corpses crossed the bridge and descended upon the wedge of Bertoni and knights who seemed small in comparison yet we're even brave men might have fled Duke tankard simply raised his Lance and shouted a blessing to the lady for her strength in this dark hour inspired by this display the Knights of his army took up the call and as one launched into a full charge with tank right at the point of the formation a golden light suffused the howling nights and Kindler glared and disbelief as they charged headlong straight for him upon the bridge surely the idiots knew the momentum of their attack would be spent long before they reached him the Knights impacted the undead like a steel fist punching two rotten wood as corpses were crushed beneath flailing hooves or launched backwards like ragdolls impossibly they kept coming however singing ly endless vigor granting the Knights inhuman strength as they smashed through the zombie line pulverizing the skeletons and scattering the cowering ghouls all arranged before them Krell and his doomed legion ran forward to intercept but a blinding holy light from tankard shield caused them all to stutter and slow save Krell himself the champion of the Lich Master and Duke tankard crashed together in a thunderclap of Steel as both lashed out with their weapons crows black axe decapitating tankards horse but the Duke returning the favor with a crushing blow to the whites plated chest the two dueled with blows so Swift as to deny belief tankards Morningstar blazing with divine light as he matched the black axe blow for blow finally the remaining Knights smashed their way through the doomed Legion and with blessed blades Krell was slowly forced backwards Kindler barked out guttural syllables and anchor as the wind of shahe SH gathered to him the resulting spells surging across the battlefield to Rijn it broken bodies and invigorate those creatures still fighting it proved to be too late however as while crowd continued to butcher the odd knight who stepped to close the Duke forced him up against the bridges edge and with the resounding Christ his Morningstar into the whites helm with a sickening crunch of metal and bone the Lord of the undead bellowed before stumbling backwards and like a puppet with his strings cut collapsed over the side into the Swift waters below a scream of rage and hatred issued out from Kindler as he saw his champion fall pulling back his sorcery from repairing his army to unleashing a torrent of black magic against the Duke all the brave knights standing by tankard screamed in anguish as they withered away to naught but ash in mere seconds but the Grail shield of quenelles blazed as if struggling to hold back the storm Henrik knew this battle needed to end now that if the Duke were to fall the Cowardly Bertoni ins would abandon their so-called honour and a heartbeat and flee the field but the man just would not die the Lich Master bent the skull staff forwards and grunted as he continued to pour every ounce of power he had into murdering this constant thorn grinning with satisfaction as he saw the Dukes features twist with pain in his armor beginning to rust at impossible speed yet step by step tankard closed the distance between the two until at last the two stood mere yards apart canler felt panic rising within him but could see that death was rapidly approaching for tankard although his shield provided some defense the item couldn't repel so much raw power and thus the Dukes body began to fail him bit by bit barking out with annoyance Kindler toward the curse of years away and gestured his hand forward to unleash a hail of screaming souls to tear his foe apart tankard rolled aside with impossible agility despite his now withered form and launched forward to finish this rivalry at long last however despite being a wizened old necromancer Kindler was no slouch in combat as his blade looted from crowds burial mound licked out to block blow after blow shadows vomited out from Kimber's dark cloak and he seemingly vanished into thin air a swirling maelstrom where he had stood moments before the Lich Master had no intention of a fair fight so close to victory using his sorcery to confuse his opponent while he slashed open tankard from unexpected angles time and time again yet as he raised his blade to deliver the killing blow the necromancer saw too late that his opponent had been simply trying to endure until the proper moment crying out to the lady for strength Duke tankard swung his glowing Morningstar with all the might he could manage and slammed the weapon directly into Heinrichs chest the Lich Master screamed in agony as he felt ribs shatter and cave beneath the blow summoning all the death magic in the air to him for one final spell with an agonized screech the necromancer exploded a wave of black flames outward and vanished with the apparent death of Kim ler the undead Legion collapsed within moments and the Bertoni ins cheered though their victory cries fell silent as they saw the corpse of duke tancrède lying on Montford bridge although the Living Dead had been defeated it was with heavy hearts the prett onehans knew it had been a great cost many miles distant from the Battle of Montfort bridge Kindler crashed to the ground from his mist form with a ragged Yelp a deep anger simmered inside him as he slowly stood dark magic already repairing all the damage to his insights from tankards blow beside him Krell slowly stood as well his armor and bones ring knitting with disturbing speed this had been another setback nothing more but at the very least his hated rival the lowly duke of quenelles was finally dead cackling madly to himself the Lich Master gestured for Krell to follow and set off to the northeast he tired of Bertoni ax and the time had come to see other grand plans to fruition for almost 20 years the pair would wander the old world to enact various schemes the Lich Master laying into place many of his future machinations and ensuring those prepared in the past were secured he once more checked in on young Denikin who had since taken up residence in castle right guard as an apprentice to the warrior priests of sigmar there this would make for some interesting possibilities the time was not yet right though so Heinrich returned to the gray mountains once more after his travels as the pair headed up into the eastern mountains of Pattaya however a most unlikely individual sought them out Kim allure could sense the approach of another powerful practitioner of the dark arts and made his preparations summoning forth an army of armored whites and awaiting the newcomer in a mystery Barrow among the peaks the necromancer was surprised to see none other than manfred von Kahr Stein walk into the light provided by the full moon having heard that the vampire was deceased following the affairs at health in some time ago the Lord of sylvania had come with a proposition for Kemmler an offer to bring war and death to all the races of order in one fell swoop full of bitterness towards those civilizations that had left him behind the lich master eagerly agreed to assist in this task so a pact was struck between the Barrow Legion and the von Kahr Stein's the two Lords of undeath traveled east with great haste into the border Prince's making for a series of valleys that were one of the few paths leading to the dwarf capital of Kedah saqqaq Manfred explained that the ever child daughter of all the ones spiritual Queen had recently arrived in the Dwarven realm as an ambassador the two of them were here to ensure that this budding alliance did not take root they made preparations and awaited the delegation to walk directly into their trap well cover the war in the border Prince's later on in the famous battle section after the events in the border Prince's Kemmler and Krell followed manfred von Kahr Steinbach to Sylvania where they briefly joined the undead court in Castle Drakon Hoth however the lich master always chafed at the idea of answering to another and it wasn't long before he grew irritated with the leeches surrounding him refusing to follow any purpose but his own Heinrich quickly left with Krell and headed Northwest towards Reich hland besides if his agents had reported correctly then it was time for his grandest plan to be enacted when he arrived in the lands of karl franz however a rather large problem presented itself almost immediately a truly colossal herd of beasts men were on the move in the province and carried with them a massive herd stone that pulsed with mind-numbing love of power the brace almond ears lack horn had been guided by Z's to bring them in here to a ritual site of potent power atop an ancient Barrow and at midnight on hexans nacht would unleashed its terrible power the ritual if completed would turn everyone living in the forests of the empire into basement within a matter of seconds to make things worse the men here was such a dense concentration of magic that Kemmler sorcery fizzled to nearly nothing in its presence the lich master knew this ritual could not be allowed to succeed if it did the Empire would be torn apart by the children of chaos and all his careful plans would be in ruin the answer to the situation thankfully appeared however in the form of a strange duo that Heinrich observed attempting to halt the frey herds advance a one-eyed Slayer and his human companion named goat wreck and Felix although the poet held little interest to him Kindler's eyes were drawn to the acts of goat wreck which clearly pulsed with enough power to destroy the hurt stone could the two get close enough so Kindler used his magic to disguise himself as a ragged beggar near the final night of the ritual approaching the heroes and calling himself Hans the Hermit he claimed to have lived in this area for decades and was a grave robber so he was intimately familiar with the barrows the beastmen war herd had camped on and using secret routes he could get them close enough to the men here to destroy it although none of the virtuous band trusted Hans they had little choice and followed his plan they did attempt to lock him in Chains as to be a reliable guide but the next morning discovered the Hermit had somehow vanished as if into thin air glad to be done with such a humiliating ruse Kindler quickly transported to the local lords and disguising himself as an advisor once more convinced many of the young rulers of the area to ride out to take place in the final cackling with glee at his schemes the Lich Master watched from a safe distance as all his puppets moved into place and danced their part in the end the heard stone was destroyed but at great cost as thousands of empire soldiers and beast men lay dead with the men here shattered the winds of magic were restored to normalcy and Kindler sprang into action he effortlessly raised tens of thousands of zombies to one life immediately setting them upon the survivors as he taunted them through countless dead throats the remaining heroes fled for their lives into the fog towards castle right guard all the while being pursued by dire wolves fell bats and black knights sent to terrify and exhaust them heinrich knew the best way to defeat his enemy was to constantly barrage them with terror and give not a moment's rest whenever they attempted to stop in camp men wounded or sick from early engagements would die in their sleep only to be immediately raised as zombies and murdered those sharing their tents the psychological warfare took its toll and by the time the defenders reached castle right guard they were all emotionally and physically drained it didn't take long for Kemmler zombie horde to catch up and surround the castle his legions already numbering well over 100,000 strong as he raised all of the dead he found along the March from that point forward began the siege of castle right guard the most well fortified in stalwart fortress in Reichl and safe for all turf itself it had full stores of food and water a fast-moving moat surrounding all sides a small Harbor capable of sending out ships for supplies and rune crafted walls designed specifically to repel demons in the undead yet despite all of these preparations and defenses one of the mightiest keeps in all of the Empire collapsed beneath the Lich masters onslaught in a mere 6 days long had he been preparing for this and his apprentice Daniken was ready to do job under Kindler's guidance he had used poison to blind and wither the warrior priest into a frail old man used dark magic to shattered the dwarf runes protecting the walls and poisoned all of the food and water in the entire castle furthermore the Lich Master had also been watching the castle for an opportunity when the graph had returned wounded from battling noir skins at the village of Grimm in hoggin the lord of castle right guard died shortly after returning home but such was his wife's grief that she refused to believe he was gone to make matters worse the greedy steward of the keep convinced her that the graph was merely in a coma so that he might extort her for gold in order to call in the specialists needed to heal the graph then came Kemmler the lich master appeared to the Graf's wife in her dreams as a kindly old man promising her was soft spoken words that he could return her husband to life again if she would but let him in endless zombies grave guard ghouls and skeletons assaulted the walls and constant assaults from repulsive siege engines made a flesh bone and would well from the air constant swarms of fel bats attacked led by Krell himself mounted on a horrific abyssal terror created from stitched together wyvern parts in the end though the keep was totally overwhelmed despite the heroic efforts of go tricking Felix as Kindler led his White's through the secret back entrance to attack the keep from all possible directions although the troublesome go trick and Felix managed to escape by the skin of their teeth the two were essentially dead men walking due to curses and sickness victorious at last Henrik prepared his ultimate ritual the goal was simple using the ancestral Lords of the seat of Reich hland the graph and his wife Kindler could unleash a spell upon their corpses in a perverse version of a harvest festival that would cause the entirety of the Reich land to wither and all the crops would rot the water would cause only infection and nothing living would remain the Empire's capital province would become the first major piece in the Lich Masters new kingdom of death unfortunately in the end things didn't quite work out that way against all reason and odds somehow goat Rick and Felix had survived and returned with powerful allies to face Kemmler one final time they snuck into the throne room where the ritual was being cast alongside a light wizard priest of more amethyst wizard and a company of Reich's guard led by the son of the graph so engulfed was the necromancer with his ritual that he failed to notice the party of heroes until goat Rick announced their presence by killing a dwarf zombie he had spotted immediately alerted to his foes the Lich master turned and unleashed a torrent of magic as Crellin the doomed legion surged forward to engage the interlopers the resulting battle was a titanic Display of power and skill by both sides as legendary heroes fought against the duo of death despite being outnumbered by two Master Wizards and a highly skilled priest of more Heinrich was more than a match for them and had his foes constantly on the backfoot while distracted however the son of the Graf managed to reach his parents side and with a cry of anguish beheaded they're struggling corpses to free their souls the backlash of magic struck the necromancer like a poisoned dagger causing him to stumble in agony at this moment go trick darkness and finally gained the upper hand against Krell and with a roaring cry cleaved his legendary axe into the white Kings chest and felled the lord of the undead as Grimble iron helm had millennia ago with his champion dead Kindler reached deep into his soul and enraged cry unleashed an incredible surge of dark magic against his foes even goat wreck with his natural resistance to magic being a dwarf and the axe of grim neurs grunick protection was completely paralyzed and started withering away it was over these foolish heroes had underestimated the Lich Master for the last time and now they all would die yet as his victory seemed assured the necromancer cried out as an arrow from seemingly nowhere struck him in the back another followed soon after piercing his shoulder and interrupting his channeled spell for just a moment too long go trick surged across the room and brought his axe flashing up in a flurry of blows to end Kindler's long life once and for all the necromancer attempted to defend himself but his tomb blade was knocked aside with ease and as he raised his staff for defense the axe of grim nurse split it in two and cleaved deep into Heinrichs flesh and the necromancer was blown back by the explosion of released magic wounded the lich master had no other choice now suddenly dispersing into a whirlwind of mists and shadows the formless necromancer scooped up the scattered pieces of Krell and with agony lacing his voice taunted his foes that this was merely a delay to his schemes nothing more with that he fled castle right guard into the gray mountains once more to lick his wounds and plan anew that concludes the history of Henryk Kemmler at least up until the end times for those wishing to read a more detailed account of the events of castle right guard I would heavily suggest picking up the black library novels though tricking Felix shaman Slayer and goat wreck and Felix zombie slayer to enjoy the epic full tale now that his saga has been told it's time to move on to the equipment section the most impressive part of the Lich Masters legacy is that he specializes in do against other powerful casters in the Warhammer universe it's no small feat to conquer enemy wizards on a consistent basis especially when heavily outnumbered such as when he defeated the Council of nine and the charnel Congress the way Kindler was able to accomplish these feats is due to his most noticeable magic item the skull staff contrary to the way most staffs function for casters this one is a purely defensive artifact that specializes in countering and locating enemy mages the large bird skull atop it will begin to noisily chatter to Kemmler whenever it senses magic in the vicinity whether that be spells or items none save the lich master himself can understand its mad ramblings but the potency of this arcane artifact is not to be underestimated as it can sense magic at a surprising distance and instruct Heinrich to the sources exact location this has allowed him to be immune to ambushed by those seeking to combat him with eldritch artifacts or magic while also granting Kemmler the ability to immediately locate hidden sources of power he seeks like hidden grimoires contained within a wizard's tower furthermore it enhances the Lich masters ability to dispel enemy casts as the school staff not only will reveal the origin point of a spell but also the perfect counter spell needed to halt it whether this reservoir of knowledge is contained within the staff itself or merely a focused extension of Kindler's own studies is unknown the most powerful item wielded by Heinrich is by far his cloak of mists and shadows this enchanted piece of clothing is of the Lich masters own design and is by far one of the most effective tools he possesses to put it bluntly the cloak allows him to transmute his body into a literal cloud of mist surrounded by constantly swirling shadows this can be used to functionally give him flight and the ability to relocate his position at alarming speeds providing the necromancer with a crucial tool to shift anywhere on the battlefield in a matter of seconds in addition it can be used in a more combat centric role by rendering him essentially ethereal as foes swing wildly into the roiling shadows to no avail no mortal weapon can harm him while in this form only enchanted or blessed steel will be able to land a blow but that's only if the enemy can even tell where the necromancer is standing within the swirling maelstrom of Darkness the final magical item possessed by Heinrich Kemmler is his lethal cursed blade simply known as the Chaos tube blade as the name would imply the stories suggest he looted this artifact off the very same tomb he awakened Krell in the doomed legion from this makes him one of the few if not the only one of the Lords of undeath to wield a weapon of the dark gods strangely enough the tomb blade is a flawless fit for the necromancer as it not only provides him with unholy vigor and strength but has this particularly nasty ability should one be slain by this weapon it will entrap the victims soul and immediately grant their mortal forms use over two Kindler thus while leading his feared grave guard in battle Kindler can replenish or even add to their ranks immediately with each opponent he strikes down as that description may imply between the cloak of mist and shadows and the costume blade the Lich Master is much more of a terror in close combat than one might expect we'll delve more into this aspect of his character during the skills section but in the meantime there's one more important component to be observed no talk about Kemmler is ever complete until his terrifying bodyguard is brought up krell the lord of undeath with very rare exceptions these two are essentially inseparable and when together are nearly unbeatable while the Lich Master brings the brains and spell-casting to the table the sheer brawn and raw killing power is undoubtedly Krell's side of the deal the white King for all intents and purposes is completely and utterly loyal to Kim allure without a shadow of a doubt as the two are bound together at a very deep level there are times when it isn't exactly clear which is the master and which is servant but most of the time the necromancer appears to be the one in control as for what he can do Krell is without a doubt one of the deadliest warriors in the Warhammer Fantasy universe the first thing worth observing is while undeath has slowed him down a bit it has also increased his durability to truly insane levels and crow was still one of corns mightiest champions in life which is no small boast his skill and speed while wielding the black axe of Krell has been expertly honed for over 3,000 years and it definitely shows considering he went toe-to-toe with go Trek at the height of the Slayer skill while often still fighting one or two additional Slayers at the same time Krell's mastery with the blade is such that Krell specializes in killing blows even against powerful large beasts like Dragons coupled with his strengths there are very few who can survive more than a single strike for his own equipment the hold breaker relies on two items from his days as a chaos champion the first is the armor of the barrows his iconic set a blood-red and rusted Kaos armor contrary to good sense the passage of time has only strengthened this plate set instead of weakening it and thanks to the blessings of the gash it acts as a beacon of entropy this aura causes any magic weapon that strikes Krell to have its enchantments decay in an instant rendering them completely mundane there of course have been exceptions to this rule such as the acts of grim nur wielded by goat wreck garnishing is far more iconic item however is the black axe of Krell this horrific weapon is the stuff of nightmares as its forged from a sentient form of obsidian that constantly sheds as Krell's swings and around should one be wounded by the black axe it will leave behind numerous tiny jagged shards that will swiftly eat their way into the victims bloodstream until arriving at their heart should this be allowed to occur they'll eventually pierce the organs walls and kill the opponent painfully but quickly it goes without saying that the Lynch master chose incredibly well when raising the Lord of undeath to serve Him that wraps up growls examination and the other equipment which means the time has come to delve into Kindler's various skills by this point it should be readily apparent that Heinrich Himmler is indeed one of the strongest necromancer's to have ever played the Warhammer world while certainly not as powerful as in the gash at his height the lich master is a close second despite his rather Haggard and humble appearance he has completely mastered the arts of necromancy and the lore of vampires being one of the few individuals to be acknowledged as a lore master of it in addition to having magic might and knowledge on par with individuals like manfred von Kahr Stein and Archon the black Kemmler of course brings some uniquely powerful skills to the table as he's still a living functioning master necromancer this position and his obsession with remaining immortal has afforded him access to an ability appropriately known as the master of the dead among necromancer's functionally this means they possess the ability to raise those just slain and battle against the vampire counts into undead more sophisticated than mere zombies with greater ease in Kindler's case this is enhanced to an extreme as he can raise up the recently slain immediately bearing the power and skill of a grave guard which is completely unheard of granted it does require the use of his chaos tomb blade to do so the final notes worth making about Kindler in this regard is that his ability as a necromancer is second to none still living in the art of flesh crafting which is molding the many aspects of corpses into new and horrific forms he also retains such a title he has demonstrated the ability to shape multiple corpses into terrible new forms such as siege towers catapults and even a demented horse like creature made of dead Bertoni ins in a matter of seconds on top of that his feet and zombie slayer wear Kemmler animated well over 100,000 undead of multiple tiers by himself makes him truly a paragon of summoning and reanimation the only other caster in the world who would be a worthy opponent for Heinrich in those specific matters would be Zacharias the everliving the current head of the more charkh vampiric bloodline it should be noted that Manfred and Archon possessed greater skill and purely combative magic most of the time though during the endtime section that conversation will be focused more upon as it's a rather complicated affair that comes to fruition something that is very unique to Kepler compared to his other necromancerr brethren is that the Lich Master is a fairly competent melee combatant while he certainly doesn't possess the strength or speed displayed by vampires he's certainly capable of defending himself and being a dangerous threat to other even well-trained humans when adding his various magic items to the equation at that point Heinrich does leap up to being more than a match for most vampires and elder races as he utilizes deception and trickery in his combat tactics to an absurd degree many would-be victors have been gutted by what they assumed to simply be a typically weak and cowardly mage beyond that the Lynch Master has a truly astonishing Constitution to put the matter in a few words this is an individual who although technically human managed to take two arrows to the back and get slashed by goat Rex God forged axe and still managed to completely escape that is just absurd on so many levels it should be no wonder he's proven so damn resilient against his rivals when attacks that can seriously injure greater demons don't even manage to kill him another thing touched upon numerous times throughout this video is that Kemmler is one hell of a wizard Buster thanks mainly to the information the skull staff rattles out constantly there is no caster in the world capable of gaining an upper hand on Heinrich as the instant something that can harm him is in play he already knows his vast knowledge of arcane matters in both necromancy and dark magic only deepens this fact and throughout his entire storyline the only major actually manages to go one-on-one with the lich master and not be quite frankly crushed isn't the gaseous left-hand arc on the black something we'll discuss more in depth during the end time section the last skill that needs to be observed about Heinrich Himmler is his ability as a manipulator although all the lords of undeath tend to be well known for their ability at spinning webs through which to accomplish their means very few have had the success record of this wily necromancer his skill at crafting disguises is actually quite impressive when displayed in the novels of shaman Slayer and zombie slayer and that's only the tip of the iceberg for him it's well noted that at various points in his life the Lynch Master acted as an advisor to entire nations by whispering words into the Willing ears of Kings and even Emperor's although it's never stated exactly what events were caused by kima's interference his extreme distaste for the civilizations of men dwarves and elves has likely led him to cause many schisms between those races many rumors suggest he was particularly skilled at Fanning the flames between the Empire and Bertoni ax but such things will never be known for certain that concludes the skills section for Heinrich Kindler so without further ado let's step in to the famous battle the war and the border princess following the bargains struck in the great mountains Kindler made his way to the most eastern valleys of the border princes along with manfred von Kahr Stein and Krell the plan was rather straightforward as when the High Elves had passed through these lands to reach Kailasa khadak they had butchered all the green skinned tribes who sought to waylay them this made it all too simple for the undead allies to manipulate things in their favor Heinrich couldn't help but approve of this stage in the plan as he and Manfred used their magic to send whispers into the thoughts of the many tribes scattered throughout the border princes in the neighboring mountains these small urges spoke of the mighty battle that awaited in the eastern Valley for all who came and now all those orcs and goblins that came before were brutally defeated the ploy almost worked too well as suddenly hordes of green skins from Maya around came pouring into the border princes just in time to catch the delegation of elves with their dwarven honor guard on the march towards the coast from the ever peak the orc tribes sprung their ambush howling down the mountain sides with a great roaring war cry that shook scree from the peaks at a gruff command from the elder Thane orgrim the dwarf honor guard locked their shield walls into place to form a bulwark of Steel alia thourough the ever child's princely consort guilty and took to the skies on his noble Griffon ever Swift as the princess's sword masters closed protectively around her hundreds of elven archers smoothly knocked arrows and sent volleys of deadly shafts straight over the heads of their stout dwarf allies to the amused distaste of the elven warriors the valley ran red with filthy orc blood before the hour was out it was only when a full half of the orc tribes had expended themselves that manfred made his move the skies suddenly darkened as whirling swarms of bats thundered out from caverns and cracks in the mountain sides from the river that ran through the valley centre stalked a cleverly concealed army of skeleton warriors their sodden Armour bearing the faded heraldry of the von Kahr Stein's a great phalanx of heavily armoured White's marched up from the valleys below Krell at their head tirelessly grinding through the scree to block the delegations escape to the rear the remnants of the orc tribes barred the route back to cut a sekonic out from the clouds came a trio of gigantic bat like terror guys rotting jaws a game one was swiftly intercepted by yulian upon ever swift but even that lightning-fast warrior could not stop all three the deafeningly shrill cries of the vile creatures burst the eardrums of the elf warriors below as the beasts and their Strigoi riders plummeted downwards to feed worst of all as the Lich Masters Deloris chanting echoed from the mountain sides every single one of the dead orcs that littered slopes jerked back to life even the disembodied arms and hands of those cut to pieces by elf sword masters and dwarf Klansmen started to drag themselves toward the dwarf shield walls once more the Anarchy that followed was the antithesis of the ordered defense mounted by the allies earlier that day as the Sun began to disappear behind the mountains the sheer number of undead began to tell from above came flocking on flock of giant bats the majority of which were incinerated by ally authoress searing white magic were struck by the Wheeling great Eagles that had accompanied the High Elves on their journey but the rest plucked at the eyes and faces of the of archers with blood encrusted claws to the for the undead minions of Krell had taken position and as kraal waded into the dwarf lions with great sweeps of his dreaded black axe his undead Knights lowered their lances and charged some of the deathly cavalrymen incorporeal fiends clad in flickering green flame charged straight through the dwarf shield wall and onwards into the ranks of the high elf sword masters they left the cold white shells of dead dwarf veterans behind them their souls ripped free from their bodies it was too much for the dwarves Krell had slain thane or grim and personal combat and none of the white kings ensuing onslaught the shield line began to buckle and break their long beard brethren practically buried under shambling mounds of undead green skins were in no position to reinforce them Manfred's skeletal bristled with hundreds of elven arrows sticking from eye sockets and spines but reinforced by their masters iron control over necromantic magic they came on and did not stop until there was not a single arrow left in any elven quiver the situation looked grim indeed it was then that Kindler cemented his reputation in the eyes of the von Kahr Stein's forever as the lich master chanted the dwarves that had died in the battle stumbled to their feet once more heads hung and fell upon the elven delegation just as the Terra guys circling in the sky above dived into their ranks once more against the horrified elves the heavily armored dwarf corpses took a terrible toll runic axes rose and fell slick with elven blood Manfred's eerie laugh could be heard above the din of battle as the grotesque tableau played out a macabre minder of the war of the beard between alpha dwarf the elves were left with no choice but to flee their great Eagles already speeding away to bring word of this new treachery to the courts of earth one the Dragon princes that formed Ally authorised reserve identified a weak spot in the undead line and charged a shower of pallid limbs and broken bones left in the wake of their explosive exit from the jaws of Kemmler strapped amongst them came the elven princess upon the back of her bond horse sella near the proud magical power crackled around the dragon princes as the remains of the elven delegation fought with the fury of cain in order to secure their princesses escape just hasn't seen the dragon princes with thunder headlong into the ranks of Krell's white army on the slopes below a Leofric gave a triumphant shout and the entire spearhead of cavalry galloped into the night air as if a bridge of mists had formed underneath them it was then that Manfred himself finally struck plunging from the mountain peaks upon a zombie dragon of Awesome size von Kahr Stein swooped down to intercept the fleeing princess at his mental command both remaining terror guys wheeled about to join him as alia thourough shot like a dart of white light over the heads of Krell's army the young elf Prince you thean fought Manfred in a desperate aerial battle to ensure her escape upon the slopes of the mountains the gloating Kemmler also had one last trick to play reaching out with tendrils of dark power the lich master infused the pursuing terra guys with necromantic energy and they shot through the air with hellish speed turning in her saddle alia thourough gestured fiercely and consumed one of the creatures in a blinding conflagration of magic but the other plunged down towards her with a soul searing screech that stunned the mage princess into unconsciousness it snatched her and her horse up in its claws wheeling around to rejoin the fray direct a volley author has airborne enchantments the dragon princess made decidedly graceless returns to the valley below the high-altitude duel between Manfred and the high off prince was reaching its bloody peak for all Manfred's vampiric speed and the sheer draconic size of his undead mount the high opened his Griffon were just too nimble darting him with Lance and Talon to strike over and over again only the armor of Tempelhof had protected Manfred from a land shaft in his black heart then just as Prince you'll see and aligns his predatory steve for another charge manfred smiled as the last terror guys passed overhead the corpse of Sally near the proud fell out of the skies and bodily collided with the shocked elf Prince knocking him from his saddle the Griffon momentarily distracted was impaled through the neck on Manfred's blade a split second later the zombie dragon snapped its great Rutan skull forward like a man trap and sunk its teeth into the noble Griffin's head with a horrible crunch at Manfred's command the Griffins thrashing body was released its cooling corpse tumbled toward the valley below Kim ler had brought the Fallen cadaver under his control before the Beast hit the stony ground and on lifeless wings that flew back to attack its former allies in the valley Heinrich made note of Manfred's departing figure with the captured ever child but frankly was enjoying himself far too much with this grand performance to care he remained behind waving his hands as if conducting a horrid Orchestra death and murder as the remaining elves and dwarves were butchered when the Sun rose at the new dawn only twisted amalgamations of fused dwarf and elf corpses remained in the valley as a repulsive statement of what had occurred and that concludes the famous battle section for Heinrich Kemmler that means it's time for the end time section as is usual for this video I will have timestamps in the description below or the first comment or if you would like to skip the end times because you're not interested or perhaps don't want it spoiled for you for some reason then you can simply skip to the closing thoughts part of the video so for those who have not joined me for the in time section before it's much more informal than the rest of the video as the end times are a bit of a complicated mess and going incredibly in detail about it would take hours so I will give kind of just an overview of what occurs so in the opening scenes at the end times one of the first things that happens is there's a great civil war in Bartow Nia with one side being Luanne laying her leading the loyal Knights of Porto Nia who are loyal to the lady and the other side being led by luhan's bastard son Malo bought the serpent Malo bod originally was losing the war against Lowen until he ended up receiving assistance from Archon the black who also brought with him Heinrich Himmler and Krell among with many other vampires and necromancer's so the first time we see Heinrich Himmler in the end times is he's a little bit wounded still from his last engagement we go trekking Felix and he's fairly stooped and doesn't seem to have much of his power anymore he's dying essentially it looks like he participates in the battle but afterwards essentially vanishes because although they were doing very very well when the undead army under Malabar reaches the city of grown the Green Knight rides out and decapitate him in the undead army pretty much gets annihilated and scatters Archon the black of course had already left by that point but Archon was there to try and get into Lamas and tell Abby but found that he could not and he needed essentially some assistance so he wandered off to Sylvania to take care of things there Kindler we would not see until Archon returned back to Porto Nia and met up with Kammler once more in the gray mountains before descending back into Bertoni Oh with the goal of going to Lamaze and tell Abby breaking it open because it turns out that the reason that Abby was originally built so long ago was to contain a lacunae SH the staff of nagesh which is one of the most potent magical items in the Warhammer Fantasy universe while they're descending from the mountains however due to some machinations of the Dark Gods and of course maligore the dark omen himself a army of Bertoni uns led by Duke tankard ii who is the son of duke tanker at the first that Kindler fought at both the 13th battle of la must tell Abby and the Battle of Montfort bridge was leading the army and there was a big fight between the two forces and the end times there is basically a big engagement between those two armies and although duke tank rid ii he fights Krell and doesn't do super well but manages to survive and then he ends up going up against Heinrich Imbler one-on-one Kindler uses his pretty powerful cloak of mists and shadows to basically make himself very hard to detect and see and constantly zips around doing little cuts and Nick's off of duty anchored the second much like he did with Duke tanker at the first until Duke tankard the second actually manages to by being patient and trying to find a pattern record out where Kindler is going to appear and stabs him with a pulley blade the moment he materializes this pretty much mortally wounds Kemmler but before tankard can deliver the killing blow as he is being withered by Kindler's magic Krell literally comes up behind him it just decapitate sup so unfortunately he wasn't paying close enough attention and curl just severs the spine kills him the Lich master of course at this point was all too delighted to keep resurrecting tankard the second corpse and then killing it over and and over again because he had finally ended the line of quenelles and he was very very happy that this family who had been a thorn in his side for half a millennia was finally extinct however these engagements Kindler is kind of crazy at this point because as the end times are going into full ascension he starts getting stronger and stronger which confuses our con the black a lot and most everybody else because when they last saw Kemmler at the Battle of korone he was pretty weak in comparison to how he normally was but with the Dark Gods rising into a Sinden sea they were also feeding power to kempler and it showed because he was stronger than he had ever been an Archon was beginning to get pretty worried about exactly what his goals were in any event Kindler causes numerous problems it's not exactly clear if he was deliberately causing issues to delay archons forces and hinder them so that the Dark Gods could be better skilled at dealing with the undead and preventing them from resurrecting the gash or if Kindler was just being incredibly selfish but in any event his actions caused a ton of problems to the undead and basically they get knocked down to the only caster still being alive our Archon and Kindler himself and they are the only ones animating the entire army because all the other little necromancer's get killed by random Bertoni ins and the beastmen as the Dark Gods kind of weaved their machinations to try and make Archon be marching to his death then Kindler arrives at the final and 14th Battle of Lamaze and tell Abby where Kim Kim ler plays a fairly critical role in the battle at it the defenders were led by Duke theoric who was a bear of a man wielding a very powerful magic axe but while the battle was raging on the undead essentially started to fall apart and be crumbling and the reason was because there were three damsels who were essentially triplets known as the three sisters of envelope who were draining the entire undead army and basically started unleashing all of their magic onto Kindler and Archon and the three of them were incredibly powerful and had their magic of course tied into the land of Bertoni itself which with Lamas and tell Abby being a blessed sight they had a ton of power to wield the Kemmler basically takes them on 1v3 and the battle rages for a bit until Kindler finally calls upon the power of the Dark Gods and realizes it and instead of using necromancy against them he instead uses pure dark magic and Alisha's chaos sorcery against them and this big black bolt of lightning comes flying out of the sky and it'll be literates the three sisters and their entire guard entourage of knights Kindler at this point seems to lose access to necromancy and fully commits to chaos because there are some notes that the undead don't respond the way they're supposed to to him and he basically immediately blasts his way through his own army towards the Abbey meanwhile Archon is distracted because he gets his chest caved in by Theodoric and would have died if it weren't for Krell but as those two are busy fighting when Archon finally stands up and looks around he realizes that Kindler is gone and he's very perturbed that killer might have betrayed them and the cache because the entire time they've been marching Archon keeps telling everybody okay and the cache is our master the cache is our master you know we have to do what we can from the cache the world is ending and the only way to save it is through nagesh and he keeps repeating this over and over and Kindler keeps arguing with him because Kindler doesn't like the idea of a future of nagesh because in Kindler's view Nagesh is a jealous envious and quite frankly frightful creature he's not really a god he's a coward who won't be satisfied until everything that could possibly oppose him is dead so he wants a world of complete stagnant on death where nothing can ever challenge him nothing ever changes and nothing ever moves Kindler doesn't like this because that obviously would require him to die and be a slave for all eternity whereas with the Dark Gods there's at least a chance of moving around or up the ladder so the two of them kind of have opposing views throughout the entirety of the build-up in the first half of the nagesh story finally though the Archon goes in Tula must tell Abby where he found that Kindler has completely obliterated all of the Guardians and the wards protecting it and when he goes down into the Crypt he finds Kemmler holding a lacunae sh the staff of the gash the two have a bit of a debate for a bit and Kindler reveals a lot about his character throughout the timeline which is essentially that when Kindler made his original bargain with the Dark Gods in addition to giving him back his power that he held before the Battle of 10,000 skulls the Dark gods revealed to him that the gash had basically been using him as a puppet all these years when Kim ler originally discovered the poorly translated books of the gash in his father's study the gash's spirit sort of reached out to him and kind of supplanted its will within Kemmler and was basically driving him on constantly and wanted him to accomplish certain things and it gave him a lot of power but at the same time he was sort of in a gaseous unwitting servant and this continued until the Battle of 10,000 skulls where for some reason presumably because Kindler was about to accomplish something that was not in the gash's interest that that voice of nagesh that sense of purpose abandoned Kindler during that battle and it left him vulnerable and that's what cost him his mind his sanity and all of his his life essentially when the dark gods gave him back his power they not only revealed that to him but they also revealed to him how even finding Krell had been part of negations machinations the gash had been the one to subtly guide him back to Krell because the gash wanted Krell to be a player in the great game again because again Krell is without a doubt one of the most loyal servants to Nagesh even our Khan the black probably is not as loyal as Krell is which is saying a lot because our Khan is very loyal to the gash in any event after this big reveal Crowl event there the two of them kind of have a discussion about which side is right which side is wrong and Archon and Kindler have a duel and during this duel Arkana essentially tries to raise the dead and Kemmler completely shuts him down and Archon realizes that the only way he's gonna win this fight is if he can get Kindler mad enough to make a mistake and he sort of just starts taunting him eventually he does piss off Kemmler enough that Kemmler a kind of allows our kind of get too close and the two of them start wrestling over the staff while just hurling magic at each other at this point it becomes readily apparent that although they're evenly matched when it comes to lore necromantic power and all that stuff Kym learn now has the chaos gods on his side and his power just doesn't have a limit anymore it just keeps going up up up up up as he gets more angry and at this point Archon realizes that he's screwed unless something crazy happens because he's not gonna be able to match that like his power has a direct focused limit that's something archons very aware of and talks a lot about during almost the entirety of the end times so Kimmel are no longer has a limit and basically gets to the point where there's so much magic being unleashed that unfortunately for Kemmler he does have a limit that he just didn't realize which is that he's mortal and he's human and so what happens is essentially he overwhelms himself with too much power all at once in his rage and it basically causes him to miss cast on a pretty catastrophic scale and he just implodes due to a insane amount of magical energy and it literally detonates lamaze and tell Abby so the entire Abbey explodes and masonry goes flying out all directions killing tons of people and in the ruins of the aftermath the only survivor of Lawson tell Abby the actual building is Archon the black because although he did get hit with an incredible explosion of sorceress fire that's also kind of how Archon died the first time and being a pretty powerful and well constructed glitch he was mostly able to shrug off the miscast result if the battle had been allowed to continue in Kindler didn't blow up it is very very likely that Archon would have lost but thankfully Kibler overreached himself before he was able to overcome Archon because our account was very clever and careful about how to handle it and Kemmler lost control of his emotions because he's crazy and that is how Heinrich Kemmler dies which as a fun note Heinrich Himmler was actually the very first special character in Warhammer Fantasy like the entire setting and most likely intentionally he was also the very first special character and Warhammer Fantasy to die during the end times so of all the like acknowledged currently active special characters he is the first one who dies which was which is likely on purpose but in the event that is the end of Heinrich Himmler and thankfully a fairly short in time section alright and with that we are in the closing thoughts section which I completely ad-lib so forgive me if I say Tony comes or something in any event thank you so much for joining me for this Halloween special of Heinrich Kibler I felt it was an appropriate video as you know Halloween is very very park out stained and Kemmler actually has a very fascinating backstory and of course now in total war Warhammer mortal Empires you can actually play Kemmler as his own unique faction the Barrow Legion who have a unique start location in the great mountains and now you have all the awesome lore if you want to know all the fun interesting cool tidbits that you need in your holster to have either a more accurate or just fun campaign looking for little snippets of things that match up with his storyline in any event I do want to say that I have begun writing again and it seems that I'm able to do it again which is great because I was able to pump this out actually rather quickly so hopefully Kerik eight Peaks week will be the next major lore thing in our future I just really wanted to knock out something for Halloween and I felt inspired to take on Kindler because I am so excited for his private faction because it has such a cool color scheme and I just love the start position and there's just so many awesome things about it in any event I do want to say a special thank you to my patrons of course who have been very patient and supportive of everything I'm doing and I really really thank you guys all they're kind of the only solid rock that I have financially YouTube is very wild and like an ocean where tide comes in and out sometimes there are a good month sometimes there are really really bad months and lately it's been a lot of really bad months so I appreciate you guys giving me the ability to stay afloat and pay my health insurance and be a functioning citizen society so thank you for that everyone else I hope you enjoyed this video I know it's been a really long time since the last legendary Lord video being set for the imperishable but hopefully I'm gonna be able to put these out on a more regular basis as I think I've discovered the strategy that lets me right on a pretty solid scale you know I was able to pump out a 10,000 word essay for this video in about three days which was pretty nice so hopefully we can get out caret eight Peaks week before January first that's my that's my goal event thank you all so much for wanting watching if you want to support me in the channel directly please consider visiting my patreon link in the description below it has various incentives like when I do do

streams but I doubt I'll get this out in time before I'm live-streaming the vampire Coast DLC but in any event I hope you all are having a great day and I hope you all really enjoyed this video and it was just a fun awesome thing to listen to a good solid hour and a half of everyone's favorite crazy madman which probably the only thing I wasn't able to communicate as well in the story is that Kindler really is a crazy guy after he gets his mind back from the cows guts like he's he talks to the zombies and I'm dead alot he calls them as children they nail that a lot until the war and he of course has a very nasty habit of he likes to reanimate people that he's killed and played with them like toys you know make them do weird goofy you know things that would be funny if it was like a child playing with clay but it's not because it's a 550 year old man playing with corpses and it's gross any event Kendler is one of my favorite characters in the setting of easily the best necromancer character in the setting in my opinion a lot of people like Van hal but I hope you all have a great day I've already said that patrons thank you all once again of course they the whole thing should've been up this entire time and Eric the red will is the editor for these videos so if you like the videos and the style of them please let me know in the description below please give
