Curious as to what they were all up to when the Nehekharans all died and went into their tombs for at least a few hundred years though. Some of them had to have gone to Araby or north in search of fresh followers...


Honestly the thing that pisses me off about this is how unorganized it feels. There should be an order of prestige to the titles and the more informal ones should be less important and there should be some separation between pre- and post-unlife ones.

It was a very small amount of time between Nagash killing off Nehekhara and raising all its dead in the interrupted ritual.

Settra was (is) the Tyrant? Or did the later Tyrant just pick up one of Settra's titles and run with it?

Because that seems like the sort of thing that Settra might get petty about.

My personal theory is that Settra terrorised Araby like once or twice, picked up the title, then ignored the place. Settra has some weird titles, like "Dismisser of the Warrior Queen". Ok. You dismissed a queen. Congratulations I guess?

I don't think it's be in order gained. The one about master of the Mortis River would only have been after his return (it was known as the Vitae River prior to Nagash seeding it with Warpstone) but a later title is Belated of Wakers, which he would have earned for being the one Tomb King that Nagash's ritual didn't raise.

Maybe it sounds better in Nehekharan? Maybe it rhymes

Maybe the order is by Settra's favorites? Since Settra's opinion on the matter is the only one that matters (to him).

Maybe he diss'd her so hard it needed to be preserved for posterity.
And prominently so: where else than the titles of the imperishable?
It was such a sick burn, everyone agreed to set the Settra as the S.I unit for roasting.

1μSettra is considered the minimum level for a Grudgeworthy insult.

I now have the head image of Settra's herald had accidently annoyed some of his court and they decided to make his life a living hell by seeing how many titles they can convince Settra to accept, and it just rolled on from then because Settra is well known for his humility and moderation.
 
Hey we should get Settra to join the waystone project, he has wanted to undo what Nagash has done since he woke up. /joke. But in all seriousness if the waystone project bare fruit clearing the great desert may be a possibility.

Also as for the whole dead gods there is a chance that Randal is one the gods of Nekkeherra (spelling) because of Mathilde receiving feeling from one of their coins when she was documenting the umgi fortunes in eight peaks.

I mean, Settra went as far as Lustria during his conquests, Araby is just around the next corner compared to that, so yeah, he probably did conquer it at one time during his reign.

Dunno why Tyrant and not Conqueror or Subjugator or whatever.

Unfortunately the only lore that explains that iirc is Time Of Legends (most put too much investment into the covenant and Nagash used it to mostly destroy/banish/? them while one, Khsar, as a latecomer with less survived and spread to Araby and this was before the omnicide of Nehekhara) and that's really low down Boney's canonicity rankings, so while this concept technically isn't contradicted by anything but End Times and thus might be true for the quest, the source is so far down the rankings that I wouldn't count on it or plan around it barring explicit Word Of Boney that he's using that tidbit or not which is highly unlikely unless the players find and choose options to have us interact with Araby/Nehekhara in-quest.

The relationship nehekarans had with their gods probably changed a lot when most of these gods were made useless to nehekarans: what's the point of gods of nature and the wild in a dead land, a godess of fecundity to a dead people, a god of the sea to those who don't need to breath and/or have no fear of death and don't need to trade, a god of warfare when you can just grind the enemy with bones and so on...

I could how someone would try to reach to the gods the old way, having it be unresponsive and calling it "the gods have abandonned us" as a short hand for "we are now dry husks who don't have the necessary bits to connect with most of the old pantheon".

The desert is still "the wild" and has nature, they still need the sea to be calm and easy to sail, warfare always needs a god

Honestly only the fertility gods/goddesses would be out of a job, but even then they might be invoked for some rites

When did Settra conquer in Lustria?

Yet Settra was not content with merely restoring the kingdoms of his ancestors. The armies of Nehekhara spread far and wide, conquering the surrounding lands and enslaving their tribes. Settra's warfleet ravaged the realms across the seas, and his armies brought the terror of the Priest Kings of Khemri to many distant lands. Foreign cities fell, faraway lands were conquered and vast riches were brought back to the Great Land from as far afield as the jungles of Lustria.

The wiki cites pg 8-9 of Warhammer Armies Tomb Kings 8e for that blurb.
