The Liber Mortis
The Liber Mortis is a foul book that is the best known source on the practice and rituals of necromancy available to the scholars of the Old World.
History[]
The Liber Mortis was written by the necromancer Frederick van Hal, better known to later generations as Vanhel. The single complete surviving copy of the tome is kept under lock and key in the vaults of the Great Temple of Sigmar in Altdorf and can only be studied by the purest-hearted scholars, and even then only after special dispensation from the Grand Theogonist himself.[1a]
Vanhel was a necromancer at the time of the Black Plague in 1111 IC and compiled his masterpiece from translations of the Nine Books of Nagash. It is this book and its copies that have caused so much horror and death in the lands of the Old World.[1a]
