Warhammer Fantasy Lore: Nagash

[Music] [Music] the great necromancer the great betrayal usurper the undying king the supreme lord of undeath He Who Shall Not Be Named these are just some of the names used to describe the great Nagesh the father of necromancy the scourge of the world the slaver of the dead born into the ruling family of Camery many years before the coming of Sigma Nagesh was one of two sons of King ketab ruler of the third dynasty of camera Lee due to ancient napkin practices Nagesh was never meant to rule for the first son will never rule no he was meant to serve in the mortuary cult a position of great prestige in those ancient days but not for nagesh he wanted power and he would not be denied Nagesh did indeed join the mortuary cult learning the magical arts on the Lich priests reaching ever closer to the quest of the Kings in this crease of old immortality he see from a young age Nagesh was fascinated by death even possibly more so than the members of the mortuary cult perhaps he like many other princes of the past future and present feared his greatness would be lost with the passage of time he studied the ancient practices of the mortuary code Nagesh was talented by all means but even he could not achieve such a feat not yet at least still he pressed on slow as his progress might have been he had learns much both by the previous findings of the mortuary cult and his own research foreign like many of his people he did not rely on the blessings of the gods of Maha Cara he did not wish to serve them nor did he wish to serve under any king be it his brother or otherwise Nagesh wished to rule and by achieving immortality he could rule forever he quickly grew his influence over the people of camera showing his supposed dedication to the mortuary cult and to his father [Music] Nagesh quickly rose through the ranks of the Ancient Order becoming one of its high priests at a very young age when his father finally passed away it would trigger a series of events which would not only affect the lands of Mara Kara but the world as a whole King ketchup was murdered under mysterious circumstances and a cabal of Darko's were taken prisoner as it was believed that they were to blame for the ancient Kings death unfortunately for the Dark Elves who would have been normally offered a swift death Nakash had noticed that potential they wielded magics unlike any other seen by those of his people he was curious and now these elves would be his test subjects and when they were no longer of use to him they would be killed the Dark Elves were imprisoned in King cat EPS Great Pyramid there they would be trapped forced to be the test subjects of the great nagesh originally the Dark Elves would disobey Him but eventually they found their efforts fruitless and had to submit to the Prince of Kamri they would teach magesh about the winds of magic so that he would not rely on the blessings of the Nehru Pantheon but rather so he could wield his own magics to serve his own nefarious deeds Nagesh like all of the humans are limited to harnessing the winds of magic but still he progressed practicing his newfound magical abilities while also combining his efforts with the extremely volatile substance known as warp stone his power was growing and he was preparing to strike during the gashes newfound studies his brother foot app had ascended to the throne as king of cavalry obviously Nagesh wanted the flown for himself his brother was weak his brother was not fit to rule but until he found himself ready he would have to wait when the time did come to strike Nagesh and a group of extremely loyal servants murdered his brothers bodyguards and imprisoned his brother within the great pyramid of their father where he would live out his remaining days before eventually starving to death or being killed by one of the many traps inside that night Nagesh went to bed knowing full well and then the next morning he would declare himself king and if any would oppose him they will quickly be slain Nagesh took command as king of camry as planned his newfound magical abilities made him a force to be reckoned with his people feared him and for good reason for the new king of camry would not allow anyone to speak against him he would show his power he with command respect Nagesh had grown in strength tremendously it still had not had a proper challenge that is until the Dark Elves he had once held captive attempted a final escape Nagesh faced his former tutors and destroyed them single-handedly it was shortly after when the gas created the famed elixir of life he and many of his chosen nobles would now be able to unnaturally extend their lives with this the gas was now ageless and he would be able to rule Camry for many years to solidify his reign Nagesh ordered the construction of a great black pyramid many of his servants believed that this was but a simple - should the Great King ever pass on but there was a darker meaning to this building the pyramid would act as a conduit so that he may harness the winds of magic in a more powerful form the construction of this Great Pyramid was obviously very costly the city of Camry would be in need of resources and slaves Nagesh would outright demand the various Kings honor her Carol pay tribute to him those who did not would be invaded many cities were destroyed and many people were enslaved for 50 years the slaves worked day and night to build his grand pyramid a great black pyramid that would dwarf any built before or after Nagesh as vanity would come into effect here where his pyramid was specifically designed to be even larger than that of the Great King cetera himself the bodies of untold numbers of slaves built this great pyramids foundations and powerful dark magics would be woven into the very building so darkly powered was this pyramid that it is said that it was cold to the touch even under the blistering heat of the Sun with the black pyramid completed Nagesh and his servants harnessed the winds of magic to a better degree it is speculated that the king of camry was now unbeatable his power increased tenfold and that eventually he would rule the world Nagesh would continue his experiments and his quest for true immortality with his findings he penned nine sacred books each detailing his creations and findings from his books his servants would learn under the great king of Kamri unfortunately for the gash his demands for tributes almost destroyed Neha car as a whole with many Kings becoming desperate enough to band together in an effort to kill Nagesh and end his tyrannical rule a great army was amassed from many city-states hundreds of thousands of men would march together to flee nirakara from his Dark Master they had the numbers far more than the garish and they march towards the black pyramid Nagesh was all to a well this uprising and with his magics now it's a peak he wove a mighty spell for the first time those long-dead awoke to serve their Dark Master bound to his will the gas would raised a mighty Legion on living warriors to crush those who stood in his way one by one armies would be decimated those who would not serve in life would serve in death but still the other Kings resisted they fought and they fought and amazingly enough the armies of the ancient kings did manage to push back the terrifying undead legions the kings of old would call upon their ancient Pantheon's and they would be heard nanokarrin constructs would rise and aid the humans pushing back the undead legions back to the very black pyramid itself it would seem that even a gaseous dark powers could not hold back the will of men for nagesh and his servants were defeated henry was sacked and many of his loyalists were executed the gash on the other hand did escape and swore that he would have his vengeance one day he would rule a world full of the Living Dead and he would rule for eternity the Lord of the Dead was gone annacarl under the command of a number of priests Kings began to rebuild unfortunately for them and many kings after nagesh is corruption ran deep and even hundreds of years since his rule the land would still suffer the damage brought upon them so many years ago famine and poverty shocked a nation banditry in civil wars ran rampant Nakara wasn't the brink of total self-destruction an ancient lineage of a once proud people now but a fragment of its former self [Music] it wouldn't be until many years later with the reign of king Alcazar where stability was more or less achieved how Cadiz on would unify the lands bringing peace to many of the city-states law-and-order was once again achieved in these ancient lands once again the crops began to grow the bandits were routed or enslaved not since the time of cetera at the future seemed so bright but the deeds of the past are not so easily forgotten the lits priests of the mortuary cults were allowed to continue their research but under strict surveillance for many of the new reigning kings feared as another Lich priests may rise with the same intentions as Nagesh in an unsurprising turn of events there were Lords particularly those Lords of the city of Lamia still craving power the lords of Lamia wished for the same power the nagesh once wielded the power to live forever the power to rule it was a chance that should not be wasted under the command of Queen Nefertiti one of the dark books of nagesh was stolen and taken to Lamia in an effort to live forever Neph errata pairs her own dark intentions with me gaseous evil book the incantations of the defeated sorcerer were twisted meg Ash's evil elixir was recreated but never otter had neither nag Ash's ability no patience she and those who drank the elixir were now cursed with an insatiable thirst for blood Lamia had become the birthplace of the creatures known as vampires the dead rose in the mirror and they rose in number the great king Alka desire feared that Neph errata may rise again in a similar style tunic ash and sought to end her before she destroyed now cara once and for all a mighty army was mustered Lamia was invaded and the vampires despite being able to revive the fallen to bolster their forces were able to halt the mighty charge thundering chariots and the determination of the living the vampires were forced to flee but little did they know that since they had breached the realms between life and death they were bound to serve a master who many had fought to be long dead Nagesh for the past few centuries and still been alive alive being used very loosely for after his original defeat Nagesh fled to the mountains nor from Nakara establishing a mighty fortress known as nagashi czar there he bowed his time the massing a mighty army of undead while also keeping a close eye on the events transpiring in Nakara his former home Nagesh had been observing the vampires seeing their potential as servants and champions unbeknownst to the vampires Nagesh even aided them when king Alcazar led his invasion of Lamia slowly trying to draw influence over them without them knowing secretly some of the vampires had been aware of negations existence and when they had no choice but to flee they pressured for the other vampires to make way tuna gashes are there the vampires found solace in the gash who by extension led to their creation he promised them power and glory in exchange for servitude however in reality the gas was binding them to his will so they may act as his generals for the wars to come war was once again raised in the Hikaru Nagesh now backed by his vampiric servants and a mighty Legion of undead warriors once again laid waste to these lands battles were fought within all the reaches of this mighty Kingdom the undead truly outnumbered the living but still they pressed on United and determined not to allow nag ash to gain control of this world many men fell and many rose from the dead in turn the gaseous armies were sweeping across the lands none could hold back the ever-growing tide of the dead to further his victories Nagesh raised some of his old trusted servants such as Ark and the black whose undying loyalty would fall on a gash to the very end of the world should he be asked as nagesh was growing ever closer to victory the vampires had begun to realize there were nothing more than pawns in the gaseous grand scheme he did not care if they died they were simply expendable if one would fall another could be raised the vampires feared for the very existence but they had been bound to servitude and were unable to disobey the commands of their Dark Master Vashon Ashe a vampire Lord and Commander of negations armies realized that it was he that bound the vampires to their Dark Master for he had been gifted a ring which would allow him never to fall in combat but insane the vampires would be on the negations command heroically vanish would challenge king Alcazar into single combat not in an attempt to defeat him however but to sacrifice himself to free his fellow vampires by doing so the gaseous legion began to crumble then air currents won this day and nagesh was forced to retreat as his legions turned to dust and his former servants ran escaping to various reaches of the world in order to escape his potential wrath Nagesh fled back to his Fortress of Naga she saw but not without firstly with all his rage and power over the winds of magic summoning a great plague over near Korra swept across every city every town the great vijay river was poisoned now known as the great mortis River its waters tainted all who drank from it the people the wildlife the crops soon enough this once great nation was all but destroyed the dead outnumbered the living and the Great King Alcazar could do nothing as his people withered away into nothingness unable to help his people the great king stood atop his throne and watched as his people his land his legacy faded away around him it was then that the gash of a host of undead warriors marched on Kamri and took the city with little resistance Alcazar was captured and taken to the darkest dungeons of Naga she's our [Music] Nagesh finally sat on the throne of Camry uncontested this would not satisfy the great necromancer however for nagesh desired to rule the world a dead world were all of his denizens would bow to him and only him he returned to his dreaded fortress and began preparations of a dreaded spell he spelled so powerful which would revive corpses all across the world and bind them to him [Music] Nagesh would draw upon the wings of magic with all his might further empowering himself by summoning forth the stored magical energies groove in his black pyramid and consuming vast amounts of growth stone which thankfully there were vast amounts of deposits within his realm Nagesh wove his spell first diverting it to the land of near Cara his former home which has slowed his path to glory all which lived withered and died and the gash in his spite made the Great King Alcazar watch as he helplessly saw his home crumbled to dust [Music] Nagesh would continue to weave his spell Nakara fell now all that remained was the rest of the world in the gaseous arrogance he did not notice the chittering who have been the shadows the Skaven who had first worked with nagesh during an uneasy alliance after many years of constant fighting had in no way any intentions of letting the gash and all life and thus denying them their rightful ownership of this world in secret they worked day and night to prepare to end their truce with the Lord of the undead and end him once and for a sword made of the purest wolf stone was forged and taken tuna gashes fortress with a Skaven of cloud a she would hide within the shadows seeking out King al Qaida's are so that he may slay Nagesh as obviously the Skaven rather not let themselves be known in case nagesh may survive alkyd Azhar was freed by the Skaven and slowly the defeated Great King made his way to end the Lord of the undead he summoned whatever strength he could muster and dueled Nagesh Nagesh was empowered yes but he was not immune to the raw chaotic energy of pure wolf stone Nagesh fell but his spell destroyed what was left of Nia Cara turning the land into the barren wasteland we know of this day how could his are washed hope and life leaving his body as the legacy of many ancient kings became undone al-qaeda's are tried to find his way back home in hopes that there may be some survivors in hopes that he could rebuild but his wounds were far too great eventually he passed on his body was found alongside the gashes infamous crowd the crown carried a piece of MAG ashes very existence it carried a fraction of his soul it would whisper to whomever wore it sadly the gaseous crown could not be lost in time but instead would be found by quedan the eventual founder of the story goes Empire Caden had realized al-qaeda's are was a great and powerful King so out of respect Alcazar would be buried like one even though their practices may differ a crown however was too tempting the crown should belong to him it whispered to him promises of building a great Empire of ruling the world it would not take long for quedan to be corrupted by no gaseous will a mighty city was to be built over the resting place of al-qaida's are more Kane place of death in their tongue under my gaseous teachings Kayden built a mighty empire so powerful that even the green skins of the badlands were repelled for a while but Caitlyn's mind was not his own the gashes influenced had taken control of Kato recreating the gaseous great books the people of Moore Kane worshiped Nagesh as a God by the command of Keadle and soon all they knew was nagisa's teaching necromancy was highly practiced and the dead walked and served the living soon the humans grew powerful enough and led assaults against their former allies that Darwin who had shown them for their uses of necromancy now he fell but they were strong and withheld both the undead and the human legions eventually repelling them unfortunately for nagashi servants word or a warring tribe can attract potential problems in their case a mighty savage horde of greenskins came and fathered the land hoping for a good fight Cayden fell during this invasion but nagesh his crown was taken by one of his disciples before the greenskins could loot it the kingdom of McCain fell only ruins stand as a faded memory with its sole surviving citizens fleeing as far as they could many fled to the newly founded Empire which had been created under the powerful eyes of Sigma held in Hammer there they would wait and practice their dark arts and secret until the time was right Nagesh had not truly been destroyed his body was slowly reforming it would take many years after his death at the hands of King al-qaeda's AR but eventually he would return for as long as his crown held a piece of his soul he could never truly be destroyed bit by bit his body would reform twisting into a new nefarious shape the particles of his destroyed body would find its way back to the sarcophagus of the black citadel fusing together by the will of negation hatred unknown to the rest of the world the Lord of undeath was taking shape once again for his sarcophagus slowly opened and once again in a gash walked this world while nagesh walked this world once again his power was greatly weakened for he did not have his crown nor was his body home as he lacked one of his hands which had been cut off by al-qaeda czar and was now in the care of some of his servants worshiping it as a relic of a Living God he stood atop his pyramid and began to weave a mighty spell once again his legions would rise [Music] there were many long dead in the Hikaru many warriors to serve Him but it would seem that they'd still remember nigosh and his deeds well some would have been bound to servitude most actively rebelled against him once again Nakara was flown into a civil war the now revived two kings united against him the lord of undeath stood no chance against the united front he was left with no choice but to flee lest he be destroyed once again and he would have to wait to reform anew he fled north once again to his fortress of nagashi zara where a large supply of wolf stone ore sure to still be there and he could empower himself once again yet his fortress was not vacant as he assumed for the skyvan coveted the wolf stone deposits and wished to mind the pit dry this infuriated nagesh those disgusting rat men were laying waste to his fortress he demanded entrance but the rats denied him unfortunately it would seem that the Skaven had forgotten the deeds of the past and do not remember how powerful Nagesh truly was in one night Nagesh and his hordes swept across nagashi saw the scheming were no longer heard from again [Music] the fortress was reclaimed but the wolf stone deposits had almost been spent the gash was furious but knew he had to get back to work quickly before the armies of Skaven blight launched their offensive to take the hold back he sets his minions upon a task to create a claw for him to replace his lost hand so that once again he could wield a weapon and not rely on the aid of his undead minions his claw would do for now but he still wished to be home he still wished for his crown [Music] Nagesh learns of the events that transpired during his absence the death of his killer the rise and fall of more Cain he learns of quedan Zell who held his crown and now he would begin his hunt traveling to the lands now known as the Empire Nagesh hid in the shadows observing and searching many servants had been sent out to locate Kayden's air gets none of his spies returned with any useful news that was until it was discovered that Caitlyn's heir merav had been slain by the Emperor Sigma held in hammer himself the Emperor had the crown hidden away under lock and key for Sigma felt the pure hatred and evil that resonated from the crowd he was no fool this crown could be the end of many who would hold it [Music] Nagesh would not be denied he would strike out at many of the human tribes destroying them if they yielded no fruit he made himself known to Sigma demanding his crown from him and no more blood would need to be shed but Sigma knew the necromancer could not be trusted and rejected him before calling his warriors to war knowing full well the dead were marching and they will stop at nothing to retrieve the crown the dead marched cities foul the dead rose to serve a new master but still the Emperor and his warriors forth on not willing to become just a memory of ancient times the Empire was crumbling but the will of man is strong Sigma had been all too aware of whom nagesh was learning from ancient tones and even by nagaihas crown itself who tried to entice the Emperor to become one of his champions Sigma would not serve he would never serve Sigma would lead such insubordination would only serve to infuriate nagashi even father who had mustered his undead warriors in full force legions of the dead would attack various reaches of the empire those who fell would rise again and soon Sigma had realized that he could not command his armies if they were split being attacked across the vast landscape this was ngoz plan all along however for he wished to keep the Imperial provinces busy enough that they would be unable to lend their emperor aid for write-off the capital of the Empire was housing the crown of sorcery Sigma sensed the gaseous full force would be at the capital soon enough and knew that nagesh reclaiming the crown would potentially be the end of life on this young hopeful world [Music] Sigma rolled out lifting various seizures across his kingdom diverting survivors to the capital for a grand final stand [Music] the humans of the Empire would not stand alone for luckily some of the DAR we with honor their alliances with Sigma and many others purely wish to end the Lord of the Dead and end some fabled Rogers together the humans and the DAR we would hold death came to the world of the living and death would not be denied before the walls of Reich Dorf I'll talk to you later des Imperial citizens stood a mighty host of undead the air was full the stench of rotting flesh Nagesh as dark magics kept the Sun from rising an army of defenders now had been raised to destroy the very land they protected with nagaihas command the dead marched they felt no pain they had no fear endlessly flinging themselves on to the terrified humans the Living began to tire and with each one that fell another rose to serve the Lord of the Dead Nagesh knew the end was near but sadly not how he he anticipated it from the horizon came Sigma leading a charge of the Empire's most fearless warriors more surprisingly on his head lay the crown of nagesh himself [Music] Nagesh was enraged how dare this mortal man will serve how dare he wear his crown the battle was joined and Sigma and Nagesh jeweled and single combat for the very fate of the world itself Sigma was powerful but the necromancers power forced him to the ground in pain he would not be denied never again but nagesh his greed was his destruction for rather than finally destroying the king of men Nagesh reached for his crown Sigma had planned for this and unleashed all his strength smashing his mighty hammer gal Miraz into nagesh its ancient runes destroying the necromancers body the lord of dfl once again the army crumbled to dust Nagesh was no more at least that was what was fought we knew better we know he will return and with that my friends we've come to the end of our law video thank you so much for watching if you did enjoy the video
