RESURRECTION– III. The Librarian

 

Long ago, Scriptor Mortis Omentet was an archivist for the Mortuary Cult of the Nehekaran city of Baltizzar, his tenure dating as far back as Nagash's reign. Ohmentet's eidetic memory served him well, as he was able to recall every detail of ritual and text recorded in their great libraries, and he was often called upon to restore scrolls that were lost or damaged over the centuries.

 

 

He participated in countless rituals of awakening, summoning and sustaining entire legions of skeletal warriors, eventually ascending to the rank of chief hierophant for Tomb King Ptahkhan-Hur. When Nagash at long last returned, Omentet witnessed the ultimate destruction of Nehekara and, indeed, the entire world. From beyond the void, Omentet's soul was selected by Nagash to serve as one of his many historians– rewriting history as the Great Necromancer saw fit.

 

 

Omentet's library is but a fraction of the size it used to be –a single grain of sand from what was once a vast desert– but he works tirelessly to rebuild it, recording word and deed, transcribing, from memory, texts that have long since perished from the world. 

 

 

His mind contained the collected writings of entire kingdoms. He has looked upon the Nine Books of Nagash. But it was the Scriptor's knowledge of the Cursed Book of Har-Ak-Iman that most interested Korak the Grim, for Omentet was one of the few to have read the book in its entirety and survived to tell of it. 

 

 

For as long as Korak had known Nieman Kimmel, the Cursed Book was always in the necromancer's possession. The Wraith tasked Scriptor Omentet with recreating the deadly tome, just one of the treasured relics Korak would bestow upon his master at the time of his resurrection.
