THE TOMB KINGS: Lore Overview - Total War: Warhammer 2

[@TheBookofChoyer]

Thank you for watching! This is a basic lore overview video that goes over the main points in the history of the Tomb Kings, if you want to read more I’ve included a couple of book recommendations (with their links) in the video description. One of the main challenges for this episode was trying to represent with visual cues the Great Land before it was transformed into the wasteland that is today. Let me know in the comments what you think. Remember to watch at the highest resolution available! Hope you enjoy the video!!

[@Probably_Behind_You_Now]

Its an ancient ritual devised by the mortuary cult to eventually summon the the great gods of Khemri: Djaf The Tormentor, Asaph The Sky Dragon, and the Winged Dragon of Ptra. It was determined to be the only way to regain their favor after the desolation of Khemri, however its difficult to gather so much magical energy so they devised a way to generate *Duel Energy* through playing a children's card-game using powerful enchanted cards, and storing this energy in seven artifacts of incredible power, known as the millennium items. These items, in addition to being able to contain great power, also grant their wielder various unique magical abilities. Once sufficient energy had been harnessed, the plan was to gather all seven items together along with the three Khemrian god cards and finally begin the ritual. Unfortunately, one of the millennium items was a relic of nagash and had been tainted with a shard of his soul. This allowed it to retain some amount of his intellegence and knowledge, and craves to return to its master. And so its quest began to create its own corrupted version of this ritual as a means to return its dark master to life instead...

Alcadizzar haunted the halls of Nagashizzar for days, calling plaintively for a woman that only he could see. His mind shattered by guilt and the torments he’d suffered at the hands of Nagash, he eventually found his way through the fortress gates and onto the shores of the Sour Sea. Still clutching Nagash’s crown, the last king of Khemri disappeared into the wastelands in search of redemption. There are those who believe he wanders there still. They searched the fortress for the largest furnace they could find and filled it with charcoal from the enormous bins that stood outside the forges. Eshreegar and Eekrit took turns working the bellows, until the fire breathed like a living thing and the heat scorched their whiskers. Then they went and raided the nearest mine shaft for all the sky-stone they could carry. ‘Are you sure this is necessary?’ the Master of Treacheries said. ‘Without doubt,’ Eekrit said, tossing a hunk of sky-stone into the furnace. Eshreegar winced. ‘Think of the wealth you’re throwing away! Enough to buy your way back into good graces with the Under-Empire three times over! Enough to make yourself a Grey Lord if you wish!’ Another chunk of stone flew into the furnace’s roaring maw. ‘The mountain is mine now, Eshreegar,’ the former warlord growled. ‘All mine. At this point, I’m richer than the Horned God himself.’ The Master of Treacheries eyed the flames dubiously. ‘What if Velsquee goes back on his word and forgets he ever agreed to give you the mountain?’ Eekrit sniffed. ‘He can either have the mountain or the fell blade. Not both.’ They had recovered the sword and tossed it back into its lead container with as little physical contact as possible. Now it was hidden deep within the bowels of the mountain, where only the two of them would ever find it. ‘If he’s smart, he’ll take the blade back and call it even, and Velsquee is nothing if not very, very smart.’ He threw another two pieces of stone into the furnace, then gestured at the bellows. ‘Stoke the furnace while I get the cart.’ Eshreegar sighed and went to the long, wooden lever. With a grunt, he leapt up and grabbed it, then pulled down with all his weight. Air flowed into the furnace, causing it to roar. Within minutes, the skystone turned molten and the heat within changed from orange-white to a bright, baleful green. Eekrit returned a moment later, dragging a small wooden cart. Piled within was every piece of Nagash’s armour and bone they could find. The former warlord stared down at the remains and shook his head. ‘I still don’t see how we missed his right hand. It couldn’t have just crawled off on its own.’ Eshreegar shook his head. ‘We searched every inch of that dais. If it were there, we would have found it. Nagash’s prisoner must have taken it with him, along with the crown. Nothing else makes sense.’ Eekrit sighed irritably. ‘Perhaps.’ He reached in and rummaged through the pile. ‘Do you really think this will destroy him for good?’ Eshreegar asked, eyeing the roaring furnace. ‘I have no idea,’ Eekrit replied. ‘This is for my own personal pleasure.’ He grunted in satisfaction, and pulled Nagash’s grinning skull from the pile. Eekrit stared at it for a long moment, peering into the depths of its empty eye sockets. ‘I’ve been wanting to do this for a very long time,’ he said, and tossed the skull into the flames.

you see, this is why i love warhammer fantasy over 40k. you get character interactions and in depth stories of stuff that happened thousands of years ago. you would never get something even half as cool as the story of nagash being so deeply explored in 40k. it'd be a lore blurb that was vaugely mentioned and never really explored deeper.

[@diamondmetal3062]

What I find awesome about Settra is that he’s basically a mish-mash of various legendary historical leaders. He is a glorious, horrifying mix of Alexander the Great, Qin Shi Huang Di and the Pharoah Ozymandias. A mighty conqueror who always wanted more, a seeker of immortality, a unifier of kingdoms, a right and proper ruler.

This channel is truly the epitome of underrated. These videos are fantastic; everything about them. The narration. The script. The editing. The mini movies made from in game battles, utilizing trailers and even the opening race cinematics. Timing certain things (such as the in game movies) with the narration so that it has more impact. Even down to little things such as the subtitles, are greatly appreciated. Everything about the way you guys tell these stories is perfect IMO. There is so much effort that goes into making these videos and it's truly a damn shame that you guys don't have more subscribers.

[@MrElBatto]

I just finished reading the Nagash omnibus was old lore retconned in it? Because in the books Nagash marched on Nehekara to conquer it bringing his undead legion against Ka-Sabar I think it was and that was the first time Nehekara became aware of the undead horde and his necromancy. He eventually marched on the holy city of Mahrak but couldn't break though their defences. It being the city of worship it was protected by sphinxes that Nagash couldn't break through. His brothers wife Neferem was the link between man and their gods and she was on Nagash's control he killed her which broke the covenant with the gods which took away the magic gifted upon Nehekarans the Sphinxes disappeared and all the Ushabti lost the blessings of power bestowed upon them. Then when he went to assault the city Lahmia turned on Nagash. Lamashizzar King of Lahmia used black powder weapons he got through trade with Cathay to blast apart the undead army and Nagash. All his immortals except Arkhan were killed. Arkhan who had fallen out of favor with Nagash turned on him and aided Lamashizzar leading to his imprisonment by him. Nagash severely wounded and near death fled and that's where he found the mountain with the warpstone and begun work on Nagashizzar.

[@HunterKiller762]

This channel is what got me into Warhammer Fantasy as of now. I only wish I had gotten into this lore earlier

[@TheBookofChoyer]

Welcome brother! It's never too late.

[@daswordofgork9823]

Wow, who would have ever thought that the most vile race in Warhammer fantasy would save the world. The Skaven

[@0That_Guy0]

@Templar Knight This is actually really frustrating, 'cause it's true - The Skaven joining Archaeon makes no sense. They might as well have let Nagash finnish the ritual if they are willing to join Chaos and effectively destroy themselves anyway.

[@daswordofgork9823]

Yeah I hate the Endtimes too. Because of that crap, we have the non canon Age of Sigmar. It is non canon because like Disney Star Wars, it sucks, no one likes it, and therefore, it is not canon.

[@hughgedney3393]

@Templar Knight yeah I agree with your comment on the Skaven allied themselves with Archaon during the late End Times, and it which was like wtf to myself. And not only that, the Skaven should have fight against Archaon the everchosen who was planning to destroy the world.

[@hughgedney3393]

@Templar Knight also I agree with you again and the Skaven pretty much fuck themselves during the End Times as well.

[@DemonicEngineer]

Nagash not only experimented with necromancy. He freaking invented it.

[@autisticpainter4079]

Absolutely stunning video. I'd love to see one made about archaon the everchosen.

[@GamesCooky]

This is awesome. You're narration is very much appreciated. It's much easier and more interesting to learn about the lore when narrated instead of having to read it. I hope you plan on doing videos like this for every faction in the game.

[@TheBookofChoyer]

I'm glad to hear that my friend! And yes that's the plan in the long term. I hope I can do each race their justice :) Cheers!

[@efesezer8206]

Great video as always. you deserve way more views.

[@oli36999]

How does this not have more views

[@jeremychau2322]

EPIC VIDEO! I hope you make the story one day from the norsca warshief stealing the Crown of Settra.

[@TheBookofChoyer]

Yes! The War of Snow and Sand I think it's called. Will definitely do that sometime. I have that one in the to-do list.

[@morfias1996]

Wait just a quick question, i thought Nagash was defeated outside the walls of Mahrak, his body oblitered by Lahmian Dragon Powder ( Source novel: Rise of Nagash). Its only after that his lesser vessels retreated back to Khemri with the allience of 7 kings in pursuit. When the kings are about to open the coffin where Nagash was, Nagash escaped in a cloud of beetles.

[@kimarous]

I wonder if there's any potential for an eventual post-TWW3 prequel campaign set during the Golden Age of Nehekhara, perhaps setting it concurrent with the War of the Beard? CA does seem to love making prequel campaigns...

[@TheBookofChoyer]

Yes, I'd buy that. We can only hope 🙏🙂

[@samdold2482]

These movies help me relax especially the narration thanks scrubasaurus

[@Scarletraven87]

Someone will have to explain to me why is it that 1) their monuments are skellly faced 2) their infantry is supposedly made entirely by people of the kingdom, yet they do not reproduce, so their numbers can only diminish in 4k years of battles

[@HadamacikTheProphet]

skelly armies can be resurrected again and again. Their monuments are skelly faced because they honored their dead and gods of death more than any other

[@huntermad5668]

A lot of them were new monuments after the Nagash deed. As long as the Pyramid of their lord intact, the legion could regen there and march again. Same as the TK and Heroes. You need to destroy their pyramids to defeat TKs.

[@primalforlorn]

For your first question, it is stated that death is considered sacred and become more important than the old gods. So it is normal for them to put skelly face on everything, for religious purposes. It’s like how Christian put crosses on all churches and how daoists make Yin-yang symbol everywhere in their household.

[@legus9684]

What a glorious video this was.

[@TimaeusEXE]

Nurgle: So no rot and decay? *Slams phone on the ground*

[@azagorod8479]

I wonder what Necrons thinks about the Tomb Kings

[@freehugzentertainment1808]

Man these videos are amazing. I don't even play Warhammer. Keep doing what y'all do.

[@GuiltyDjinn]

Love the use of Assassin's Creed Origins pictures to blend the lore with something visual

[@flamechicken415]

i love these lore videos even though i don't really play the game

[@Gods-bad-boy]

Just bought warhammer 2. My God it's amazing!!! I've only played Trion but will eventually play them all
