Hate and Love, such simple concepts but it drives anyone or anything to do the near impossible, but on a fantasy setting, it can create Gods or in this case a God!!
Nagash once a simple hierophant, smitten or in this case lusting for his sister in law, found a way to become something else: a lich , gaining more power from becoming an undead, he was able to even challenge his gods and prevail but alas as in every realm/world/universe, his undoing was a mere mortal, a human with the same greed as his but without love or hate!!!!
Second book, again Nagash sought another way to obtain power to destroy those whom he felt betrayed him and found it in a mystical green stone that fell to their world from the heavens, again he almost succeeded but this time he was held back by an entire army of rats or skaven in this world, negotiating with the rats he was preparing for........
Third book, here we meet another of the characters that makes this world interesting, a queen, Neferata of Lahmia, who at first wanted nothing more but to make her nation the strongest, sensing that it was not
to be also gave in to her love of her nation and hatred against those that would pull her down, and bbecame its first female vampire(just a guess), ruling it and furthering her reach, and then came the last oof the characters who I felt had this 2 basic emotion and made this novel a truly good read Alcadizzar, wwhile still in his mother's womb, receive Neferata's blood and became something else, a
human that brought Neferata's rule down and also succeeded in repulsing Nagash's attack.
In the end Alcadizzar was also brought low by this two basic emotion, love for his family enabled Nagash to completely eradicate everything except him, Alcadizzar's hatred of Nagash was able to do what no one was able to: Stop Nagash completely!!! THE END!??????
