Nagashizzar is the stronghold of Nagash that was constructed within the mountain. [1a] [2a]
History
In ancient times a warpstone meteor struck the mountain, shattering it and burying itself at its heart, over the centuries, warpstone seeped into the waters of the nearby Sour Sea, killing or mutating all life within and around it. [2b]
In -1600 IC Nagash arrived and first lived like a hermit on the caves in the mountain, exploring the mountain until he discovered the warpstone and began experimenting with it, transforming himself and perfecting his necromantic magic. When he was ready in -1500 IC he took control of the local tribes, slaying any shaman with a single word that did not flee. He sowly built a empire on its shores formed of the dead and the local tribesmen who now saw him as a god and who sent him offerings of their fairest maidens and youths to appease him. Over the next few centuries the small villages grew to become small towns and at its heart was the great fortress of Nagashizzar. [2b] [2c]
Around the year -1300 IC the Skaven discovered the great Warpstone meteor was at the heart of the mountain but also that it was the domain of the Great Necromancer Nagash. Withn its depths, the undead mined without pause, gathering the warpstone for the necromancer who used it to boost his power and help build his empire. Using tactics that had worked against the Dwarfs, the Grey Lords unleashed thousands of skaven clanrats to invade from below but the undead and their master fought back and the war quickly became a brutal stalemate. [1a]
Around the year -1200 IC, [1b] Nagash offered a pact with the Council of Thirteen, offering warpstone for their aid in certain tasks and for a time an uneasy peace was maintained. When the Council finally discovered his long term plans to envelope the world in the dead, they enacted a desperate plan, equipping a prisoner held by Nagash with the newly forged Fellblade. Nagash was struck down and his body thrown into the warpstone forges and Clan Rikek took possession of the stronghold and its mines for centuries to come. [1a]
However, Nagash returned around the year 100 IC [1b] and in a single night slaughtered the entire clan, reclaiming Cripple Peak for himself. [1a]
