Synopsis

The dead of the Mortal Realms serve one will alone: that of Nagash. But alongside the Great Necromancer are his Mortarchs, who spread his word and do his bidding. Foremost among them is Neferata, the Blood Queen, whose one ambitions and schemes are ever at the forefront of her mind even as she serves her dark master… The forces of Death serve one master alone, Nagash, the Great Necromancer. Openly opposed to the warriors of Sigmar since the devastating Necroquake unleashed untamed magic throughout the realms, Nagash’s most powerful servants command legions of undead soldiers that can erode civilisations through centuries of war, turning the deceased against their descendants. Yet, even united under Nagash, endless scheming remains among the Lords of Death. None embody this more than Nagash’s Mortarch of Blood, Neferata, Queen of the Vampires.
