When Nagash woke from the destruction of the World that Was, one of the first things he did was create a legions of undead creatures. One of the forces he created was the Nighthaunts. These are the spirits of the guilty, the sinned, and the damned. Nagash is a firm believer that punishments should fit the crime, and so he created the Nighthaunts in this image. This has created a army of spirits who are utterly bitter and hate the living, and this makes them ideal for Nagash. The ghosts that form up the armies of the Nighthaunts are nothing like a typical army. They attack in waves, aiming to wear down their opponents and fill them with dread. They defy the laws of nature as they can phase through objects, so swords and axes have little effect on them. They are lead by the Mortach of Grief, Lady Olynder, who causes misery and sorrow wherever she goes!
