Nighthaunts are a host of tormented and bitter spirits condemned to an eternity of suffering for their perceived slights against Nagash, the God of Death while they were alive. Dredged up from the depths of Shyish by the work of the Great Necromancer, these unquiet dead are engulfed by an irrepressible urge to inflict that same pain upon the living. Their very appearance is enough to inspire terror in the living, with only unwavering faith and courage allowing mortals to fight back against their chill onslaught.
