Also, are the Tomb Kings human?
The Tomb Kings were once humans from the mighty empire of Nehekhara. Millennia ago, Nehekhara was razed by the Great Necromancer Nagash, who eliminated its citizens in a single night then awakened their mummified corpses to fight in his undead army. Nehekhara is now known as the Land of the Dead.
