** The Tomb Kings are extremely meritocratic, believing that a large, successful kingdom means the ruler is wise and should be respected while a small, weak kingdom is simply there to be conquered by someone stronger. This is a big part of why they all look up to Settra and also a big part of why they all hate Nagash. Accordingly, unlike every other faction in the entire game, you get a ''bonus'' to your diplomacy with them based on the size of your empire rather than a penalty.
