Summary

A History of the Tomb Kings (Part 1). The undead lords of Khemri, the Tomb Kings of Nehekhkara, are a staple of the Warhammer Fantasy world. They sweep across the dunes in skeletal chariots, backed by giant scorpions, terrifying Ushabti warriors, and the magnificent Hierotitans. Undead liche priests rain magical destruction on their enemies, while the Kings themselves smite foes with impunity. In forgotten lands, their enormous pyramids hold many dangers but promise riches to the brave and the foolhardy alike...
