In lost pyramids buried beneath the desert sands of the Kingdom of the Dead, [[{{Mummy}} the Liche Lords]] [[TheNecrocracy rule over legions of corpses]], their servants as they were in life.

And behind all this towers the gigantic shadowy figure of [[BigBad Nagash]], [[EvilSorcerer the Great Necromancer]], who in ancient days rivalled and challenged the gods themselves.
