Nagash, first of the Necromancers, was responsible for developing the malign art of raising the dead to serve a master, which indirectly contributed to the rise of the Vampires and their diverse bloodlines, who control armies of cadavers of all sorts and are megalomaniacal in their pursuit of eternal un-life.
The Undead are the logical result of the short-lived humans' efforts to achieve immortality, no matter the cost. The UndeadThe Wind of Death blows strong in the Warhammer world, and the dead have long and bitter memories. Despite all this, they still represent some of the most formidable forces of the world. However, millenia of strife and tragedy have inevitably led to their decline, and they are now a shadow of their former selves. In times past all of them built magnificent civilizations, grander than anything Man has achieved so far. Thus, they tend to be far more resistant to Chaos than humans.
The Elder RacesOld, declining, yet proud beyond measure, the Elder Races were present in the Dawn Times, when the first of their kind were sculpted by the hand of the Old Ones themselves. Humans do tend to dominate the Dogs of War list, however. There are dozens of human nations, but only the Empire and Bretonnia are playable. For better or worse, they have taken a central role in balancing the fate of the world. Unlike other races, Humans are a diverse species, having as many corrupted and cowardly individuals as they have brave and wise heroes. However, they have grown to be a dominant species in the world, dwarfing the Elder Races by their numbers if not their sophistication. They do not remember the departure of the Old Ones or the first coming of Chaos, nor do they have the depth of knowledge and wisdom of the Elder Races. The Human NationsHumans are a relatively young race in the Warhammer world.
