According to inscriptions, King Nekhef claimed to be the
first ruler to use Carrion in his army of eternity. These
creatures lived in the mountains to the east of Nehekhara
and also the deserts to the west. Their broad wings were said
to darken the sky, spreading the shadow of doom upon those
dying in the desert. After a great battle, with the slain
strewn over the stricken field, the Carrion descended and
blotted out the light of the sun. Thus it was in ancient Nehekhara
that the Carrion was seen as a sacred beast that bore the
spirits of slain warriors to the sky to fight in endless battles
against the daemons of darkness. This belief led to the priests
burying many corpses of Carrion in the necropoli of each Tomb
King from the time of Nekhef I onwards. As the revered birds
eventually died out, only those that were entombed remained.
At the will of the Liche Priests they once again take to the
skies, their horrifying forms spreading fear amongst those
who feel the chill of their shadow.
Carrion may be included in your Tomb Kings army as a Special
choice.
