I cannot believe my luck. Of all thepeople the Society could have chosento lead the expedition, they chose me!
That whey-faced worm van der Grimm
looked like he was on the point of apo-
plexy when they made the announce-
ment.
If this is to be my journal, I should ex-
plain: the Society is outfitting an expe-
dition to Naptesh. Naptesh! The leg-
endary Kingdom of the Dead, cradle of
human civilisation and the art of necro-
mancy, which swallowed the Lost Cru-
sade and generations of treasure hunt-
ers in its trackless deserts. The research
opportunities are endless.
This all began one month ago, when the
Society purchased a number of artefacts
from the adventurer Ferdinand Val-
des (whose exploits you have no doubt
heard of). Though our experts were du-
bious of their provenance at first, close
inspection proved beyond doubt that
the contents of Valdes haul were in fact
genuine Naptaan grave goods. The god-
dess knows how Valdes came by these;
he certainly wasnt forthcoming with the
information.

cophagus, containing the mummified
body of an actual Naptaan prince. As one
of the Societys foremost experts on the
Naptaan script, you can imagine my ex-citement when I deciphered the hiero-
glyphs on the sarcophagus that identi-
fied the body inside as none other than
King Kharatep, listed in the Chronicles
of Teput as one of the keepers of the fu-
nerary caskets of Phatep.
There was no sign of the casket among
the loot Valdes sold us, and close ques-
tioning of his men revealed they had
not seen anything matching its descrip-
tion. The implication is clear if Val-
des men did not take it, the casket must
still be there! We wasted no time in ex-
tracting the location of the tomb from
them, and putting together our own ex-
pedition to retrieve it. Quite apart from
their historical importance, the caskets
are supposedly artefacts of immense ar-
cane power how those strutting pea-
cocks at Narrenwald will tear out their
hair when they hear we have one in our
possession!
For those unfamiliar with Naptaan lore,
I include on the following pages an ex-
cerpt from the Naptaan legend known
as the Time of the Great Dying, which
explains the origins of the caskets. For
now I must make my preparations for
departure the expedition sets off to-
morrow.

The following excerpt is from Abd al-Latifs seminal translation of theNaptaan Book of the Dead. It is reproduced here in the Imperial tongue by
permission of the Great Library of Eichtal.
Greatest of all the kings of Naptesh
was Phatep, who sat at the right
hand of the gods. Under his divine rule
the summers were long, the harvests were
bountiful, and the borders of the empire
stretched from the mountains to the west-
ern sea. His queen was Teput the wise,
and together they ruled in harmony over
the peoples of the valley and the desert.
Vizier to Phatep was Setesh the outland-
er, whose heart grew hard with envy of
his king. In secret he brought together
others of the younger houses of Napt-
esh, promising them wealth and pow-
er when he came to rule. First among
Seteshs conspirators was Nepharet, the
queen of Hanaphuk. Nepharet had long
resented the rule of the kings of Teh-

met, and saw in Seteshs plot a chance
to elevate her own city above all others.
Together with his conspirators, Seteshdevised a trap. When Phatep travelled
by sea to speak to the little men of the
mountains, a splendid banquet was pre-
pared in Nepharets court for his return.
When the white sails of the ship were
seen on the horizon, Setesh instructed
that the king was to be brought to the
palace in the hours of darkness, so that
none would see him come or go.
When the banquet table had been laid
and the king given the seat of honour,
Nepharet bade her servants produce a
wondrous chest, ornamented with gold
and lapis lazuli. With fine words, Nepharet
told all present she would present it as a
gift to the first of her guests who could
fit themselves wholly inside its walls.
One by one, Nepharets guests tried and
failed, protesting that they could not fit
themselves inside. At last, in his cups,
the king was prevailed upon to try. The
moment Phatep knelt down inside the
chest, Seteshs lackeys slammed shut the
lid. Drawing their swords, they ran the
chest through, striking again and again
until their blades ran red with the blood
of the king. Nepharet and the conspira-
tors drank of the blood that ran from the
chest, hoping to gain some measure of
the kings divine power.
It was at this time that Setesh the traitor
chose to emerge from the shadows. He
bade his followers cut Phateps body into
nine pieces. He commanded that each of
the pieces of Phateps body be sealed in
a gilded chest of its own, and carried far
from Nepharets palace to conceal the
evidence of their crime. Setesh would
return to Tehmet and take the throne,
claiming the kings ship had been lost at
sea. He took with him the kings heart,
knowing that that was where Phateps
true divinity resided.
Unknown to Setesh, one of his followers
- Tekhamun, the twice-turned - alreadygrew sick with guilt at what they had
done, the taste of the kings blood turn-
ing foul on his tongue. So it was that on
his journey home, Tekhamun threw the
chest containing Phateps head into the
great river Napaat, which carried it to
the feet of queen Teput.
Teput had received summons fromSetesh to attend him at court, but knew
now the treachery of Phateps grand
vizier. Carrying her husbands head as
proof, she rallied the old families of
Naptesh against the usurper, and the
empire was torn by civil war. At first, it
appeared Setesh could not hope to tri-
umph against Teput and her allies. Their
wealth was greater, their armies moremighty. Setesh, however, had stolen the
heart of the king, and with it the power
of the gods themselves.
Setesh threw open the gates of the un-
derworld, dragging the dead from their
rest to fight for him again, and the ar-
mies of Teput were thrown back. For

years the war raged, poisoning the
lands of the empire. Cities were razed
and villages were burned, leaving only
death and sorrow behind. Disgusted at
what had become of their favoured son,
the gods turned their back on Naptesh.
A terrible drought turned the fertile
fields of Naptesh to dust, and the trai-
tors who had drunk of Phateps blood
were afflicted with a curse of eternal
thirst. Still Seteshs army of the dead
fought on, needing no drink, nor food,
nor shade.
After long years of bloodshed, Teput
brought Setesh himself to battle on the
plain of Takhat. Beneath the blaze of the
sun, the two armies clashed, while the
usurper and the rightful queen sought
each other out. Face to face, they fought
until at last they fell, each having dealt
the other a mortal wound. As they laydying, Setesh mocked Teput. I have no
fear of death, he told her, for I have made
myself master of death. But when your
death comes, your spirit will become a
subject in my realm.
Even as Setesh breathed his last, Teput
realised the terrible truth of his prom-
ise. She cried to the gods of Naptesh to
spare her, and she was answered. The
gates of the underworld were shut for-
ever, sealing Setesh in as god of his own
prison. In turn, the people of Naptesh
were condemned never to know peace
in the halls of the afterlife, wandering
instead in this world as the restless dead.
So it was that the kingdom of Naptesh
became the kingdom of the dead. Those
living who remained in the haunted landssoon fled, their fields already turned to
ash by the curse of the gods. Only those
nobles who could not bear to leave the
proud history of their ancestors behind
remained. Waited on by households of
the dead, they lingered in their palac-
es of marble and alabaster until death
came for them. Then their undead serv-
ants would embalm them according tothe ancient custom, and carry them to
their tombs, to wait down the long ages
against the day that Setesh the betray-
er could be destroyed, and their path to
paradise made clear once more.
They are still waiting.
Variations on this myth have been found in the Annals of the Dust Sea and in the oldest cat-acombs of Avras. Records exist of another account encountered by the crusaders of Equitaineunder the rock formations on the north coast of Naptesh known as the Pillars of Har-Khowar
- regrettably, these carvings were destroyed at the order of the priesthood of Sunna - B. U.

27th of Keimzeit, 1648 A.S.
I t has been a long voyage, but we havefinally made landfall at the city of PortReynaud, on the north Taphrian coast.
I for one will not be sorry to say good-
bye to our ship, the Glory of Sunna - the
Wallowing Tub would have been a better
name. I have never felt so sick in my life.
Port Reynaud was built as a crusader
port, and it shows the great fortifica-
tions surrounding the harbour and the
keep are far more impressive than the
town itself. Thankfully we have no need
to stay here long just long enough to
pick up guides, guards and pack animals
for our expedition into the desert. Gun-
ther has been out hiring and our roster
is almost complete. Few of the locals
seem willing to assist us. Perhaps in the
circumstances it is understandable, but
I do wish they could be made to see past
their superstitious fears. I suppose it is
their loss.
Gunther Helmgart -head of our porters fromthe Imperial Society. Astout and reliable man,
he has been invaluable on
the journey thus far. I fearhowever that the heat is
getting to him.
Johannes Grunstein- a scholar of ancient his-tory from the Universityof Narrenwald. He seemssingularly useless to me,
but Master Aldebrand in-sisted we take him along.He claims some knowl-edge ofNaptaan hiero-
glyphs, and chews so muchqat that his hands trembleincessantly if he goes one
day without it.
Gilles DAuvigne - agrim fellow, and the
newly-appointed leaderof our guards. Guntherfound him close to the
docks, and says he foughtin the last crusade. Fromhis scars it certainly seems
plausible.
Abdullah ibn-Rahil-the head of our guides. Heclaims he is well-known
to the desert tribes in theseparts, and can see us safely
through the sands - al-though it took a great dealof money to convince himwhen he learned of ourdestination. Personally
I would not be surprisedif his fear was feigned. Itwas certainly an effective
negotiating tactic.

T he mummy Valdes supplied to the society was the best-preservedspecimen I have ever had the privilege of examining. The hiero-glyphs on the lid of the sarcophagus identified the body as Kharatep,
king of Djedesh. His list of titles was very grand - Favoured Son of
Nephet-Ra, Lord of the Delta, Pillar of the Sky, Right Hand of the
High Queen, Last and Greatest of His Line.

These can be seen as typical for the kings of Naptesh. Though during
the time of their empire all the cities of Naptesh answered to the king
of Tehmet, each city had its own royal line. The kings, or pharaohs,
were glorified as demigods, separate from and superior to the commonpeople who laboured to build their great monuments.
Each pharaoh kept a court, filled with lesser nobles (or nomarchs)
who claimed various degrees of proximity to the royal blood. Those
whose relation was too distant to hope to inherit sought glory on the
battlefield, or else joined the orders of the empires priests. Those of
higher birth attended closely to the wishes of the pharaoh, seeking al-
ways to be confirmed as his heir. The history of the greatest dynasties of
Naptesh could be traced for many centuries, and the throne of Tehmetchanged hands between them on several occasions. Since the fall of the
Naptaan empire, it is the tombs of the pharaohs that have formed the
most enduring symbol of their kingdom. According to legend, the mum-
mified bodies of the kings still sleep fitfully within, waking sometimes in
kingly anger to direct their armies against the lands of the living. Thank-
fully, Valdes specimen showed no such inclinations - but the Society has
placed powerful wards on the chamber in which it is kept. Just in case.

M.H.: I am Witchfinder General Matthias Horst, and you will answer my questions.Who is this Akhamun?
SUBJECT: A mortal? Tis is an unexpected turn.
Akhamun is a worthy foe. All beings are measured by their enemies, and so he makes memighty. Once before we battled. He was only a mortal then, like you, and I was yet to risein my masters favour. But that was many centuries ago.
M.H.: How does he still live?
SUBJECT: He died long ago. In life, he was the slave of kings, dressed up in a prettygown. His order saw to their safe passage to the afterlife. How ironic that he should nowcall them back from the grave.
In the past, his lands were fertile ground for my masters, and we vied for the souls of his
people. Now that kingdom is a barren desert, but Akhamun remains. He is cursed, like allhis people - he cannot rest in death. But his magic is still strong. It would have to be, tomake him an enemy worthy of my power.
M.H.: If you are so mighty, why take this body? Speak!
SUBJECT: After many centuries, I returned to those lands to claim them for my mas-ters. Tere I found Akhamun, rotted body and empty eyes, yet the same power within.
My followers battled his, and broke through his lines. I advanced to victory, only to beengulfed in light and cast into this prison of flesh. A feat your pitiful priests could hardlyhave achieved. Tey have not had millennia to study their craft.
My legion fell as he summoned his army to life again. But this is not the end, merelya setback. My star will rise again, my allies will return through the Veil and we willmarch once more. Your chains will hold me no more than this mortal vessel. And when
I have claimed my rightful place as master of Naptesh, I will come for you, Matthias. Telast thing you see in this life will be my true form and I will await you on the other side.Death is no escape from the Dark Gods.

TOMBHARBINGERS
Among the grave goods Valdes brought us was the golden iconwhose rough shape I have sketched here. It incorporates com-mon elements from the Naptaan religion, such as the winged scaraband the radiant sun. It is also inscribed with heiroglyphs proclaiming
the praises of the king. It seems likely that this formed a part of the
kings banner.
Most interesting to me, however, was a carving we found on the de-
cayed remains of the banner pole. From what legible sections we could
recover, it read:
LOYALSHEKTUK, FIRSTAM ONG THE FAITHFUL SOLDIERSOFTH E
KING, BEARSTHISSTANDARD.LETALLWHO OPPOSEHI SLORDTREMBLEAT ITS SIGHT.
This constitutes one of the few mentions in the written history of the
Naptaan of anyone not of the royal blood, for we can presume from his
name and lack of titles that Shektuk was a simple soldier. Valdes men
claim they found this artefact inside the tomb of Kharatep himself, a
position of great honour for one so lowly born.
One of Valdes crew in particular one Miguel was willing to tell
me a little more. According to Miguel, the banner-pole was found stillclutched in the hands of an intact skeleton, at least a head taller than
the other bodies in the tomb. Valdes was forewarned about how lightly
the dead sleep in Naptesh, and ordered the men to smash it to pow-
der with clubs and hammers. If Miguel is to be believed, it killed three
men before the icon could be prised from its phalanges and even
then, one fleshless hand kept hold of the banner pole long after the
rest of the undead creature had been destroyed.

31st of Keimzeit, 1648 A.S.
We are four days out of Port Reynaud, and have come to the land-marks Abdullah tells me are called the Teeth of the Asp. Thename is certainly apt - these two great obelisks jut up out of the desert
hills like the fangs of a great snake.

In the glory days of the Naptaan empire, these monuments would have
marked the boundaries of the Naptaan territory, standing as a state-
ment of the empires great power and a warning against invaders. Now
they are eroded and half-buried in the dunes, but some of the intricatecarvings recording the victories of the king who erected them still re-
main.
I had Gunthers porters shovel away six feet of the sand obscuring the
base of the columns much to the amusement of Abdullah and his
guides, who were content to sit and watch our northerners labouring in
the hot sun. Beneath the dedication to the pharaoh Oseput we found
what I was searching for the makers mark of the Naptaan mason
who built the Teeth.
From the texts recovered by earlier expeditions, we already know that
among the common-born Naptaan the monument-makers were held in
high regard, second only to the priesthood. They were commissioned
to build the immense tombs of the pharaohs, and great statues glori-
fying their rule. The inscription we found on the Teeth says that this
architect one Ammtunek oversaw two thousand slaves in their
construction, and was favoured in the eyes of the pharaoh. Intriguingly,
the inscription also says that Ammtunek is buried under the obelisks,
and whosoever disturbs him by destroying his work will suffer his curse.
These great monuments must have been his lifes work.
I put forward the idea of sinking a mine pit under the right-hand obe-
lisk to try to locate the burial chamber, but our guard captain Gilles
refused outright, saying the obelisk might topple and crush us all to
death. These people have no vision!

ARKOFAGES
O n the second obelisk of the Teeth, we discovered another inscrip-tion. Though very worn by time and the elements, the hieroglyphswere still legible, but of a variety I was not familiar with. A few pointed
prods of my staff woke Grunstein and set him to work translating the an-cient script (I suppose this proves he is good for something, at least). It
would have taken the him weeks to study the entirety of this inscription,
but we had only until sunset Abdullah and his men insisted we had to
depart before dark. In the few hours we had available, what Grunstein did
manage to decipher made extremely interesting reading.
The inscription told of the great river Napaat, and the high priestess of
the river god who cruised its waters in a gilded barge crewed by eunuch
slaves. A loyal servant of the pharaohs, her power brought wealth and
glory to the dynasty. Barbarous kings from far and wide brought annual
tribute to her temple.
When she died, she was mummified within her ark, which was buried in-
tact in a great tumulus along with its crew to serve her in the afterlife. Ac-
cording to the curse-script chiselled upon the obelisk, she would serve her
masters in death as she had in life, and sail the waters of the underworld
to bring divine retribution on any who defiled the lands of the great river.
We had no time to decipher any more of the legend. With the fading of thelight, Grunstein and I were all but dragged away from the hieroglyphs by
our native porters. Abdullah never ceased scanning the darkening skies,
eyes wide with fear, until we were far from the ancient monuments. He
asked me what the two of us had found from our translation, but I thought
it best not to tell him. These Qassari are evidently even more superstitious
than our own men.

2nd of Blhenzeit, 1648 A.S.
T wo days past the Teeth, we have passed through the hills and en-tered what is known as the Great Desert. Before the fall of theNaptaan empire much of this was supposedly fertile farmland. Now
there is nothing but windblown sand - the curse of the gods, or so the
legend says. I have my own theories - the Naptaan civil war was a bitter

one, and the poisoning of water sources was a well-established weapon
of war even in those ancient times.
This evening, we came upon an area that Abdullah and his guides beggedus to avoid. When I pressed him as to why, he claimed it was the site
of a forgotten battlefield, haunted by the spirits of the dead. Sure
enough, a cursory investigation turned up a great number of human
bones and even corroded weapons buried only a few inches beneath
the sand. You can imagine my excitement - we must return this way
with more camels!
Allowing for Abdullahs nerves, I have allowed the camp to be pitched
on a nearby ridge, despite the fact that the old battlefield was much
better sheltered from the wind. A sandstorm is blowing in from the
southwest, and I fear we are all going to have to endure a sleepless
night to indulge the superstitions of our guides.
3rd of Blhenzeit, 1648 A.S.
S omeone is playing practical jokes in the camp. When Gunther andhis men finally managed to clear the sand that half-buried us dur-ing the night, they unearthed several skeletons taken from the battle-field, posed as if crawling towards my tent! Abdullah and his men deny
it was them. I have told them in no uncertain terms that unless the
culprit is produced I will be docking their pay.

SKELETONCHARIOTS
4th of Blhenzeit, 1648 A.S.
T his journey was bound to be full of moments of discomfort, butthis mornings sight exceeded my expectations in every possibleway. To the amusement of my colleagues and my chagrin, I took a tum-
ble in the sands when confronted by two skeletal horses rising from the
sands with a scythed chariot in tow.
Only once I realised the chariot was (of course) stationary and half
buried was I able to pick myself up off the ground and collect my wits,
with the sound of laughter ringing in my ears. Our guides however
did not share in the mirth and instead tried to move us swiftly on. To
lessen their distress I reluctantly agreed, though I was able to make a
few sketches for later research. The similar iconography of this chariot
and the riders we encountered nearby seems to confirm many of the
theories of my old friend Doctor Friedman. Perhaps I can salvage his
reputation and prove at least some of this theories to be correct.

Before the rise of the horseman, chariots were the first use of horses in war. As a means of carrying no-bles into the heart of battle with speed and style, chariots were highly prized in Naptaan armies.
Te prevalence of chariots in the Naptaan empire is disputed, yet my studies have unearthed evidenceof the vast scale of their usage. A tablet inscribed with a record of the battle of Qashek was uncoveredsome fifty years ago and I have spent most of those years attempting to translate the hieroglyphics. Ittells the story of King Kentak the First, who led a force of ten thousand chariots against the Edu peo-
ple. Allowing for poetic licence, this is still the greatest use of war machines in ancient times, or possi-bly even to this day.
As described on the tablet, each chariot was part of a squadron of one hundred headed by a noble, with
gilded hieroglyphics proclaiming the honour of the squadron leaders dynasty. I have often dreamtof that sight; the lines of chariots as they crested the dunes, glittering in the sun like a golden wavepoised to crash down and wash away their foes. What I wouldnt give to possess a specimen for the So-ciety, to display and to prove that Naptaan society predated the spread of modern cavalry, which wasonly developing among the more nomadic peoples of the Edu and the ancestors of the Qassari.
Doctor Eckhardt Friedman - The Golden Dynasty (Eichtal Press, 1623 A.S.)
Te messengers said, the Edu stand ready. We have strong men and strong horses, our arrows areswift and our spears are long. We are more numerous than the grains of sand in the desert.
And Pharoah said unto them, just as the sand of the desert, we shall crush your armies beneath ourwheels.

Te Edu tribe were rivals to the Naptaan, before
their empire reached its peak. Once Naptesh at-tained ascendancy, they were pushed to the fringesof the region, but their unparalleled horsemanshipensured their survival.
Records of running battles survive which showthe success those riders had in many battles, bothagainst the armies of Naptesh and the tribes which
populated the less fertile lands to the east.
Te success of the lightning raids made the Edu awealthy group, able the Edu to succeed as nomads
where most of their neighbours lived a settled,agrarian existence.
Of course, a nomadic life in this region does notbreed a love for material wealth as we would thinkof it. Te monuments and golden idols of Napteshwere far below water in the Edu reckoning ofwealth. It was Naptaan control of the great river
Napaat, therefore, that eventually brought the Eduinto the fold as auxiliaries in the pharaohs armies,
after long years of conflict.
Some centuries after the end of the reign of KingPhatep, however the Edu appear to have suddenlyceased their trade with the empire. Most of my col-leagues believe this highly skilled and successful tribewas wiped out in the wars that followed the kingsdeath, or by one of the many plagues which sprungup around the time
I find these explanations unsatisfactory. Perhaps
there is some truth to the legends of the Great Dy-ing. Why else were fields left to ruin and desolationat the height of the countrys might? What other
force could have wiped out the Edu, who for so longhad resisted or evaded the armies of the greatest em-
pire of their time? It seems overwhelmingly likelythat it was the curse of undeath which overtookthese people, and swallowed up their famed horse-men into the armies of the dead.

GREAT VULTURES5th of Blhenzeit, 1648 A.S.
We are in the deep desert now. The nights are freezing, the daysare baking hot. This damned sand gets everywhere, even into mybooks. Gunther has turned as red as a beetroot, but soldiers gallantly on.
A growing flock of vultures have been circling us as we progress. Tiring of
their attention, one of Gilles' men managed to bring one down with his
bow. Thinking it might make a decent supper, when he went to retrieve it
he found its flesh was putrid and decayed, as if it had been dead for many
months. It seems that in the kingdom of the dead, even beasts and birds
can find no rest in death.

SCARAB SWARMSWe have lost one of the porters. He must have disturbed a nest ofsome kind while he was searching for water. We were only alerted by
his screams. When we found him, he was completely covered with a swarmof glossy black beetles, which were consuming his flesh at a startling rate.
Gilles men drove the swarm off with burning torches, but by the time the
last of the insects had fled little was left of the poor man apart from bones
and scraps of bloody skin. I managed to convince one of Gunthers men to
retrieve one of the dead beetles for me, though they were understandably
loath to touch even the dead ones after what had happened to their friend.
From the sinister markings on its carapace, I believe these may be the scar-
abs of Har-Khowar spoken about in von Bodenheims Pyramid Texts sup-
posedly sacred to the god of the Naptaan underworld. It is easy to see now
how these insects might have picked up such an association with death.

SANDSCORPIONS
6th of Blhenzeit, 1648 A.S.
T oday we entered a bank of deep dunes that Abdullah claims isone of the last obstacles between us and the necropolis of Kha-ratep. The sand here is very fine, making our boots sink up to the ankle
with every step.
Shortly after midday, we learned we were not alone in the dunes.
A huge claw burst up from beneath the sand, cutting one of our camels
in two and dragging the larger half under. I was scarcely able to believe
my eyes all of us must have stood there for a good two or three sec-
onds before the hue and cry began.
Probing with their spears, Gilles men managed to unearth the beast
a scorpion bigger than a bear. It burst from the dune in a terrible rage,

slaying three of our guards with its claws and striking another with its
sting. The spears of the guards could draw no blood from it only a
trickle of desiccated dust. Like the carrion birds, I do not believe it
was truly alive. Even my strongest spells appeared to have little effect.
When it became apparent that our numbers were too great for it to
overcome, it burrowed back out of sight. The last we saw of it was
a fast-moving wave of sand, rolling away from us and out into the des-
ert.
Whatever venom is in these creatures stings must be extremely
powerful the entire arm of the man who was stung is now severe-
ly necrotised, and the rot is spreading to his torso. It is a testament
to the strong constitution of Gilles guards that the man is still alive,
but he surely will not last the night. I must secure some samples
of venom from the wound to show to the alchemists back home.

desert. Looters have stripped it of much of its marble facing, but much still
remains around the apex, shining a brilliant white in the sun. The necropolis

sands. We have identified several lesser tombs, and what appear to be an
avenue of statues leading up to the pyramid of the pharaoh. It was at the
entrance to this avenue that we found the Sphinx.
It is buried almost up to its shoulders in sand, but what remains above the
dunes is three times the height of our camels. Its head has been sculpted
bearing what I believe to be a pharaoh's crown - possibly this was once a
likeness of King Kharatep himself, although the frequent sandstorms have
weathered the face beyond recognition, giving it an almost skeletal appear-
ance.
Grunstein has identified some inscriptions that he claims are spells of awak-
ening, designed to turn the statue into a walking engine of war. I told him
his hypothesis was absurd, but for the sake of the record, I include on the
following pages a few of the sources he presented to me as the "evidence"
for his claims.

You want to hear about the Kingdom of the Dead,
you say. You ever heard about statues that walk,twelve feet tall and swinging blades bigger thana man? I thought not.
I used to fight for the empire, but the vermin-kin caught me. Made a slave out of me, sweatingdown in the dark, til they rounded a dozen of usup for their expedition into the desert. All us hu-mans had heard the stories about that place, but
you dont say no to a rat with a whip.
Some people call the rats cowards. Teyre prob-ably right. But rats are damn good at saving theirskins a rat will be running before a man haseven soiled his breeches. We were about three daysinto the journey when suddenly the rats went alltwitchy. Tere was a big sandstorm blowing in,and they could feel it in their whiskers. Te over-seer screams something in their filthy language andnext thing were all running for cover in a crack inthe cliff-face. Us slaves in the back barely make itin before the storm hit.
It wasnt just a cave, though it was a tomb.With the rats green lamps we can see the walls arecovered in marks glyphs and there are thesestatues, huge things, surrounding us. Te floor aroundthems covered with pots and boxes, I figure valuablestuff but the rats go dead quiet, all twitchy again.
Next thing I know, the overseer flies across the room,stuck with an arrow the size of a spear.
Te statues are moving. Tere are four closing off the
exit, each with the head of some animal; a bull and
a crocodile and an eagle and a fox. Its hard to see
their movements in the flicker of those damn lamps,but theyve got giant bows, biggern me. Te rats get outtheir pistols and start firing back, but its no good. Be-hind us, the other statues are coming alive too, one rightnext to me. Tis thing is fifteen feet tall if its an inch,all stone and bone, with a blade even bigger than thosedamn bows. Ive never been so scared in my life.
After that it was a blur. Te rats stolen horses areshrieking and the monster is slamming its jaws openand shut, making an awful clacking sound as it kills.
Seeing the rats running, I grab the pack horse besideme, motion my friend Lora to do the same and we
flee the cave, out into the storm. Never looked back,not once.

I remember as a boy I once went out into the desert. Some friends and I had wanted to do it for weeksbut my father had always forbidden it. I stole one of his camels and we took a tent between us. Wetook it in turns, two of us would ride the camel and the other would walk.
We only stayed out there one night; we awoke to find our camel frozen into stone. I was sick Ithink what kind of a thing can do that? All around our tent were ridges and valleys of sand, ris-ing over and under one another for tens of feet in every direction. o the south of us, five valleys metand carried on together as far as the eye could see. Must have been their tracks, whatever they were.
Needless to say we packed up the tent and fled. Ive never been comfortable in the desert since.
Funny thing is, when I got back, I thought my father would be angry about the camel, but other thanme, he seemed more worried that he would lose the tent.

Dear Joanna, I close my eyes and picture you ev-ery day. I want to hold you close to me again, nowmore than ever. Te Caravan was attacked threedays ago, but thank Sunna, I am safe.
One of the women in our caravan spotted a dustcloud to the north. Looking through my spyglass,
I could pick out five dark shapes in the murk,which I showed to Hassan, the caravan master.
I have never seen the blood drain from a mans
face so fast. Te image of what descended on usfrom out of the dust is burned into my memory.Five stone beasts, ridden by grinning skeletons.Tey took different shapes serpent, crocodile,camel monstrous, scarab beetle and bird but
Joanna, they were living statues, foul facsimiles oflife, built from coloured stone and embossed with
gold. Tey fell upon us with terrifying speed.
Hassan called for the caravan to split into threegroups. Te creatures attacked the northern group
with brutal efficiency. o their credit, the men therebrought down one of the monsters the huge bird before they were overpowered. One moment itwas wreaking carnage, the next, it tumbled into
pieces like some childs discarded plaything. o ourastonishment, the remaining four creatures justturned and left, though I am sure they could haveovertaken the rest of us if they chose.
I long to talk with you more about this, for Imsure your mind could find some wondrous insightthat I have missed. I shall probably head north totrade somewhere safer, though I have more thanhalf a mind to travel home with this letter.
Yours with love, Oscar.

The Luxopolis Codex, Page 17 Commentary and Translation by Guglielmo Baldarini
Te Luxopolis Codex is one of our most valuable insights into the history of the ancient kingdomof Naptesh.
Many lesser scholars have frittered away their lives debating its contents; they have grown hoarywith age picking over its every detail, seeking to imagine the some new implication how manynights did they eschew wine and song for such pursuits? Here, I shall finally resolve one of its greatestmysteries. I present here the definitive translation of the famous Verses of Amet-Ptuk.
According to the learned Professor Schiffer, these texts are merely a ghoul tale for children. Othershave supposed they represent a historical record of the punishment for tomb robbers. My translationshows both views to be incorrect. I write it below square brackets indicate supplements or correc-tions to the damaged papyrus.

ntering the necropolis, we passed an avenue of colossal statues
that might have stepped out of Schalles poem. There are fewworks of sculpture that could have rivalled their size or grandeur when
they were intact. Even in ruins, they towered over our party to the
height of the largest guild houses on the Geldstrasse.
Grunstein, as always, is convinced that these colossi were animated by
the magic of the Naptaan priests. He claims they were used as labour
to construct the pyramids of the pharaohs, quite ignoring the histori-
cal evidence that the Naptaan used flesh and blood giants for this very
purpose.
In fact, we have found several immense burial pits on the outskirts of
the necropolis that can only have been dug for such creatures. I tried to
convince the men to excavate them, but even Gunther was reluctant
to do so, finding excuses about his men being tired and thirsty.
The Society is really going to have to start hiring a better class of ser-
vant.

O n the remains of the necropolis walls, we have found remnantsof siege weapons likely used at the height of the Naptaan civilwar. Without exception they have been dilapidated and rotted, cer-tainly not capable of useful function. I doubt they would teach our own
fine engineers anything, but they give the lie to those who paint this
ancient civilisation as primitive. During my readings on Naptesh I
have come across claims that these weapons have been used more re-
cently. The tales make chilling reading, but can be largely dismissed
as hyperbole or invention. Interesting though they are, I do not think
these engines will be of much value to the Society, and likely would
not survive transportation home.

the qat juice blackens his lips is repulsive!), I got him to confirm my
findings before tiredness got the better of me, and I fell asleep with
the thing in my hand.
In my sleep, angelic figures visited my dreams. They reached out to
me, gently but as their fingers brushed my face they became talons
of sharp bone. The flesh shrivelled from their faces, showing snarling,
inhuman skulls, and I sat bolt upright, tearing myself from sleep.
To my dismay, the precious artefact was gone. Bursting out of my tent,
I saw the thief had not got far. It was one of Gunthers porters, the thin
boy with the weasel eyes he was still clutching his pilfered prize as
he ran. Woken by my shout of alarm, Gilles went to intercept him with
a dagger in his hand.
I still do not trust my senses as to what happened next, but I will re-
cord what I saw all the same. It seemed that something huge dropped
suddenly from the sky, its wings hiding the moon for a brief instant. It
landed heavily, blocking the boys path, towering over him.
It appeared only in silhouette, but in the moonlight that filtered through
its ragged wings I thought I caught the gleam of bone. With a sweep of
its blade it severed the heads of both Gilles and the boy, then stoopeddown to recover the stolen treasure. With a single beat of its wings, it
disappeared into the night sky, leaving nothing in its wake but dancing
motes of sand.
The camp is now in a state of ferment. Abdullah and his guides have
struck their tents, saying they will leave at dawn they say I am
cursed. Half of Gilles guards are leaving with them. The remainder
I have persuaded to press on whatever the thing was that struck in
the night, we have come too far to turn back now.

entrance to the kings chambers in a great pillared hall. The painted
murals on the walls were faded and crumbling, but what drew our at-
tention was the great sphinx that dominated the far end of the hall.
It was quite unlike any such statue I have seen, more human than beast,
with great wings like an eagle. Approaching, we saw it was crouched
above what could only be the doorway we were seeking. The gates
were marked with hieroglyphs, which formed the riddle:
FEWSEEKME , THOUGHSOMEEMBRACEME ,
OTHERSFLEEME , BUT ALLFINDME .
WHATAMI?
Grunstein immediately set to puzzling it out, claiming the answer wasDeath. Reluctantly, I turned to the doors and spoke the same word
in the Naptaan tongue: Pakhat. With a deep rumble, the doors swung
open and as they did, the sphinx turned its head to look upon us.
Dust drizzled from the ceiling as its stone wings unfurled, moving as if
truly alive.
Someone screamed for us to run, and we did, straight through the open
gates. Grunstein alone was left behind, shouting for joy at how his
theories had been vindicated. The last I saw of him was the ecstaticexpression on his face before the lazy flick of a stone claw removed his
head from his shoulders. Moments later the passageway behind us col-
lapsed, brought down by the shifting weight of the beast.
It is still waiting there, behind the rubble. There must be another way
out we must press on.

Iwrite this in haste. If I escape this place, it will ensure I forgetnothing of what I have seen if not, I hope it will serve as a warn-ing to those who come after.
With our escape blocked by the collapse of the tunnel, we headed
down into the darkness. In the narrow passageway. It seemed an age

before we reached the bottom. There we found two arches., each
sealed with a stone slab. One had been broken, no doubt by Valdes
men. This then was the burial chamber of King Kharatep. Inside, the
light of our torches reflected from a dazzling hoard of treasure.
A golden casket of exquisite craftsmanship stood on a stone dais above
the other grave goods. If the histories of Kharateps reign are true, this
was one of the nine funerary caskets of the god-king Phatep himself,
recaptured by King Kharatep at the battle of the Burning Sands. It
shone magnificently in the light of our torches, as bright and untar-
nished as the day it was made.
Before I could shout a warning, Gunther and the porters rushed for-
wards to open it, overcome by greed. The moment they had levered
open the lid, a searing light burst from inside, and howling spirits
swarmed from the casket, babbling curses on those who defiled the
mortal remains of their god. Where they struck, men fell dead with-
out a mark on their bodies, faces contorted in terror.
To my shame I fled, leaving the others to die. I ran until I could no
longer hear the screams of the hunting ghosts. Now I hide in an al-
cove of the pyramids internal passageways, writing these words. I
will never forget what I saw not only when the casket was opened,but during my flight. The second archway we passed the one still
sealed with a stone slab that would have taken a giants strength to
move is now open.

Wed fought for most of the day to reach their mage,a desiccated woman, shrouded in tattered silkand surrounded by her honour guard. As we rode,hammers raised, towards that final confrontation
I felt my throat parch. Magic, of some unknownkind.
I was nearly thrown from my horse. Looking
down, its forelocks were sinking into to sand whichhad until moments ago been firm. I pulled the reinsand my horse struggled free, moving slower now.Te group of soldiers loomed larger, perhaps twenty
sun-bleached skeletons decked out in ill-fitting ar-mour. In moments we were upon them.
I crushed two beneath my hammer, feeling theirbones shatter beneath each blow. Te long forgottenscent of cardamom filled my senses and my limbs
became weak, drained by more Naptaan sorcery.Looking around, I saw my comrades stagger underthe weight of the same witchcraft. I thank the godswe had destroyed so many, or in that moment wemight have been overwhelmed.
Behind me, I heard Klaus cry out: Father, theyare rising from the dead! I realised in horror thathe was right. As the silk-wrapped corpse before uscroaked her dry words, the shattered bodies of her
guards rose again and staggered back into the fray.
Te mage! I shouted. We kill her and this ends.Strike at the mage! At last, Berthold battledthrough the scrum, smashing her from her pedes-tal with a single blow of his hammer althoughnot before he had been pierced a dozen times by theblades of her bodyguards. As the skeletons fell todust around us, that noble knight breathed his last.
He did not die in vain. Magic so strong cannotbe left to survive. Magic stronger than the sands,
stronger than the bodies of men. Magic strongerthan death.
Grand Master Jonas Kortig, commander of the
Knights of the Silver Hammer

ARMYSPECIALRULES
RULERSOFTHEDEAD
An Undying Dynasty army requires the Player to field a special model called an Hierophant. Te Hiero-phant of the army must be a Wizard using the Path of Sands and must be designated as the Hierophant onthe army list. Te chosen character gains Regeneration (6+) and grants this effect to any unit it joins. Unitssuffer one less wound than normally inflicted by Unstable and Dust to Dust if within the range of the Bat-tle Standard Bearers Hold your Ground.
DUSTTODUSTAt the end of any phase in which the Hierophant is removed as a casualty, every unit in the army with oneor more models with Dust to Dust must pass a Leadership test or suffer an amount of wounds with nosaves of any kind allowed, equal to the amount by which the test was failed. Tese wounds are distributedfollowing the rules for Unstable except they can never be distributed to models that do not have Dust to
Dust. Tis is reduced by one wound if the unit received Hold Your Ground.At the beginning of your next Players urn following the death of the Hierophant, a new Hierophant maybe selected. In order to do so, the Player must nominate another eligible character who is a Wizard usingthe Path of the Sands. Tis character is your new Hierophant. If the army does not have any eligible char-acter, every unit with the Dust to Dust rule must once again pass a Leadership test or suffer wounds as de-scribed above. Tis effect will repeat itself at the start of each of the owning Players turn until the gameends.
UNDEADCONSTRUCTSModels with this special rule reduce the number of wounds caused by the Dust to Dust and Unstable Spe-cial Rules by 1. Furthermore, models with this Special Rule are subject to Undead and Dust to Dust.
UNDYING WILLA character with this rule may confer its unmodified Weapon Skill to all Undead models that are part of itsunit. Te Player may chose to do so at the start of any Close Combat phase. If the Character is mounted ona Large arget, it may instead choose to confer this bonus to a friendly Undead unit within 6 or, if engagedin combat, to one friendly Undead unit engaged with the same enemy unit as the Character. In either case,the effect lasts until the end of the phase.
NECROMANTICAURAUnits within 6 of a model with Necromantic Aura suffer one less wound than normally inflicted by Unstable
and Dust to Dust. A model with a Necromantic Aura rule cannot benefit itself from the effects of this rule.
MUMMYS CURSEWhen a model with this rule is removed from play, the model which caused the final wound automaticallysuffers a Strength 6 hit with Armour Piercing (6). If more than one model was part of the action whichbrought the downfall of the character, the hit is randomly distributed like shooting

UNDERGROUNDAMBUSHA unit with this rule follows the same rules for Ambush with a one exception: instead of entering thebattlefield from atable edge, the designated unit must enter the board from a location called the Under-
ground Point. o designate an Underground Point, the Undying Dynasties Player may select any pointon the battlefield outside 3 of an enemy unit and outside 1/2 of impassable terrain. Te point is thenscattered 2D6 in a random direction. Te Underground Ambush unit may be placed with with thefront of its first rank, or back of its rear rank, touching the Underground Point. If the point ends be-neath an enemy unit, place the Ambushing unit in base contact with this enemys front facing instead(maximizing contact as normal). Te arriving unit counts as having successfully charged with no chargereaction allowed. If it is not possible to place the Ambushing unit for whatever reason, the ambush isfailed and the Player may roll again next turn.

During the fall of Naptesh, many of the Naptaan
people fled the crumbling empire. Among thoserecorded was Haskhunet, high architect of Hanaphukand builder of the queens own tomb. According tothe Gods Sea Annals, Haskhunet fled east, past theBarren Mountains and out of recorded history.
Some years later, the histories of the eastern empireof suandan make note of a sage f rom the west whoaided the Emperor in the construction of a terra-cotta army, to guard his tomb for all eternity. If thestories of the Naptaan proficiency with war golems
are true, this could well have been Haskhunet, ply-ing his skills in a foreign land. Unfortunately, fewrecords of the Xun Dynasty remain, most havingbeen destroyed with the coming of the Dragon Em-
peror. No-one now knows the resting-place of thelast Xun Emperor or, if the legends are true, ofhis slumbering army.
- Excerpt from Chapter VI of Death Knows No Bor-
ders, Alberich Hauptmann, Eichtal Press 1597 A.S.
Te Naptaan empire once spread from shore to shore
of the Middle Sea. Many of the northern tribes whotraded with Naptesh absorbed parts of Naptaan cul-ture; those who warred against them were subjugatedand assimilated in turn. From Destria the Empire,barrow mounds can be found imitating the Naptaantradition of ritual burial.
Like the pyramids of Naptesh, these barrows alsohave a dark reputation for harbouring the undead.Some may have worshipped a bastardised versionof the Naptaan pantheon, and so been afflicted by
eputs curse; others ignorantly imitated the dark artsof Setesh, inscribing the stones of their tombs withnecromantic incantations to keep their rulers fromtrue death. Such wights can be found haunting thebarrowlands of Volskaya and Equitaine, as well asour own dear Empire - the greatest numbers being
found near the border of cursed Zagvozd.
