The Tomb Kings (also Priest King or Vizier) are the long dead rulers of Nehekhara from thousands of years ago. Each city had several dynasties each with several kings and as such there are hundreds of kings vyeing for power now they have all risen from the dead. They would constantly wage war on each other to spread their influence across Nehekhara.

Settra the Imperishable founded Khemri and conquered the entire empire. He lived far longer than most before he eventually died.
