Land of the Dead, 2522 I.C.
Awakened by a call of unknown origin, Atekh-ra-amon, the most High King of Numas, rose from his thousand year slumber. Impelled by a renewed desire to fill his coffers and assert the might of Nehekhara upon mortals, he called for his priests to assemble his army at once. The High Priests set to work, and after much labor raised a great army that pleased their master, Atekh-ra-amon. The King of Numas would once again feel the thrill of battle and feel the glory of victory.
Mighty Atekh-ra-amon summoned his eldest son, Prince Armaeus. He spoke at length with him, and called forth the Liche-Priest Zaphnath-Paaneah. They were dispatched with an important mission, to the lands far from their home in Numas. The Prince and the Liche-Priest departed from Numas to parts unknown, searching for strange treasures and arcane secrets. For many years they traveled, and recently have come upon a place called Khazid Grimaz.
Armaeus and his undead warriors have found gold and treasure, even warpstone. However, the rumors of something called the Doomforge has captured their attention. It is said that the dwarfs of the Khazid Grimaz possess the ability to channel the power of the Realm of Chaos using this magical item. Zaphnath-Paaneah is certain he can understand the magics of this strange contraption, and use it for the High King. Armaeus himself only wishes to please his father, for that would greatly increase his power and standing.
It is unknown as yet whether the Doomforge can be found, or if it will even be useful. At least there is a treasure to be had, and many enemies to garner glory from in tireless battle. Only time and prowess will tell if the Pharoah's Mace will successfully return to their home in the Land of the Dead, laden with riches and gifts for their deathless King.
