With the launch of Land of the Dead today, we are given a huge new zone to die in. More importantly, there are mysteries to unlock and treasures to be found, so grab your Aviator Goggles and head in!
The Snake Charmer
Created in the form of a giant asp to honor the goddess Asaph, the Asp Bone Construct is a dangerous, albeit rare, weapon in the arsenal of the Tomb Kings. Assembled from the ribs and vertebrae of countless dead, it can strike fear in even the stoutest heart.
Asp Bone Constructs are only created in the direst of circumstances, and they represent a Tomb King’s desire to see his enemies utterly destroyed. To call upon Asaph is not without cost, and this price must be paid if construction of the Asp Bone Construct is to succeed.
“It were a snake, Munson! I seen it! A snake made of bones!”
“You’ve been in the bottle again, ain’t ya? If I so much as catch ya sniffin’ at a wine cork, I’ll have yer tongue out!” – Sergeant Jacov Munson, Emperor’s 3rd Jäger Corps (now deceased), chiding one of his men.
What will you have to do to avenge him?
Tombstalker
The Preserved Dead are corpses that have been carefully embalmed and preserved prior to being reanimated. The Tomb Kings, Tomb Princes, and Tomb Guard of Nehekhara are counted among the Preserved Dead.
Unlike Zombies and Skeletons, the Preserved Dead are intelligent and powerful foes. Some are capable of great magical deeds, while others possess martial skills that have been honed over centuries of practical use.
“So unwilling to relinquish their grasp upon their worldly power that the Tomb Kings sought eternal life as a solution to the conundrum of death. The priests of the Mortuary Cult mollified them, brought them placebo and ritual, but only with the fall of Nagash was the true nature of their so-called immortality revealed.” – Excerpt from 'The Gods of Khemri' by Vasili Kolavich, Scholar of Praag
