Nagash

Host of Nagash

In the Great Mortis Delta, the Black Pyramid has awakened. Its master has returned. It was Nagash who killed this land by turning its life-giving river into a flood of death. He shall do the same to the entire world.

Nagash's Great Work
  • Has access to the Black Pyramid, granting increasingly powerful effects as the Land of the Dead spreads across the world
  • Subjugate Legendary Lords, Heroes and Followers as Mortarchs
  • Reclaiming the Books of Nagash will unlock the ability for Nagash to passively cast spells from the Lores of Death, Nehekhara, Vampires and Light during battle
