The Black Pyramid of Nagash is part of the Necropolis of Khemri within Nehekhara, the land of the Tomb Kings of Khemri.

It was built under the reign of the evil sorceror Nagash by uncounted souls. It took fifty years and is the largest pyramid in Khemri, dominating even that of Khetep. It is made of stone the color of ebony, imported from cities all over Nehekhara.

After being defeated by the army of the Seven Kings, Nagash abandoned his pyramid and it remained undisturbed for over a millennium. Even when centuries later Nagash's army entered Khemri to drag King Alcadizaar to the Great Necromancer's fortress of Nagashizzar, the pyramid remained empty. However, 1,111 years after being killed by Alcadizzar, Nagash regenerated his body inside the pyramid, something he would do again, 1,666 years after his death at the hands of Sigmar.
