"Entombed alongside their mighty sovereign, Nehekhara's deathless princes are reawakened to command the Undead legions."
- —The Tomb Princes.[2]
A Tomb Prince is a son and heir of one of the greatest of the Tomb Kings.
Tomb Princes are the Undead sons and heirs of the greatest Tomb Kings.
Role[]
Each of the priest-kings of ancient Nehekhara had many heirs, doubtless the result of their extensive harems, but only one could succeed their father to the throne. This was typically the second son of the king, for the firstborn were given to the gods to serve in the Mortuary Cult. The king's younger sons served as the generals and lieutenants of his armies and enforced his will over his subjects. Upon their deaths they were entombed beside the great tomb chamber of their sovereign, in an eternal council of war, waiting for the moment of awakening when they shall resume command of their Undead legions.[1a]
Wargear[]
A Tomb Prince normally goes to war armed with a khopesh and light armour, but may be also armed with a great weapon, a flail or a spear. He can also take a shield and/or ride a Skeleton Chariot or a Khemrian Warsphinx (in both cases, he replaces their crews), and take magic items.[1b]
