Main Topic – The Death Realm and it’s Denizens in the Age of Sigmar
- The Realm of Shyish is the Realm of Death. It’s an endless land of decay and all the gateways to the underworld are in this realm.
- Nagash is the ruler of the realm and is the god of death, making him supremely powerful.
- Nagash was at first an ally to Sigar and his grand alliance but turned on Sigmar’s forces at the battle of the Allpoints.
- During the Age of Chaos, Archaon and the Chaos forces defeated Nagash. He returned and threw the Chaos forces out of the realm.
- Nagash is essentially immortal and has lived for aeons. His ultimate goal is to end all life in the realms and claim control over all.
- In game, the Death alliance is made up of several factions.
- Deathlords
- Soulblight
