The Expanding Waste

The Lich-Pharoah has cursed the very earth with a form of corrupt, dark magic. Slowly, the wastes of the desert are expanding, turning the entire world into a mummified monument of death and decay.

The entire area around his capital, the Pyramid of Rasha-Ankh, is inhabited with undead by the hundreds: the Abt Mumit. Festooned with extraordinary amounts of gold and jewels, they act as an extension of the Lich-Pharaoh’s power and perform even the most mundane of tasks without thought or fatigue. They are continually funnelled in like cattle from cities conquered by his army.

The majority of Rasha-Ank’s army consists of Abt Mumit soldiers controlled by Skirr Lieutenants.

Many Abt Mumit are created by his clandestine agents of darkness, the dreaded Uqda Zorak, who infect the cities of the living all along Rasha-Anks borders. The Uqda Zorak are Necropolitan necromancers raised only by Rasha-Ank with the ability to shapeshift.

Slowly corrupting the world, they serve to fuel the Lich-Pharaoh’s dark deeds.
