In the forested foothills of the Vaults, the armies of Nehekhara separated into smaller forces. Some were led by Settra's commanders who sought out the many mountain forts and Dwarfen holds that lay between them and Bretonnia's southern borders, whilst others, led by the priests of the Mortuary Cult, searched for ancient tombs that had lain forgotten amongst the peaks since ancient Nehekhara had ruled the region thousands of years before.
