Editing Settra the Imperishable (section)

{{Topquote|Think your arrogance can match mine, Elf? I am Settra!|[[Total War: Warhammer II]]}}

Originally Settra was a powerful king, but a vain and egotistical tyrant as well. He actually renamed Nehekhara Khemri in his vanity. He was the founder of the city of Khemri and the first Priest King to have his body buried in a pyramid. When Settra died, the people rejoiced but preserved his body out of tradition. When Nagash's magic inundated the land, Settra rose and rallied armies of undead to make an anti-Nagash resistance, the other kings joining him due to their shared hatred of Nagash. But after Nagash and Arkhan were driven out, the other kings refused to obey Settra. Furious, Settra waged war against them, but the other kings united against Settra and he was forced to retreat and turtle up in Khemri, vowing revenge. Settra then sent his army to raid other lands and bring back living captives to be killed in horrible rituals to bolster his army, with the goal of bringing all Nehekhara under his iron-fisted rule.

In later editions, some of this is still true with several major changes. Settra became a very skilled - albeit tyrannical - ruler who, while hard on dissenters and failures, was generous with people who succeeded which is unlike most Nehekharan monarchs. He also founded the Mortuary Cult as a way for him to achieve immortality because he didn't want to die. Newer lore also made Settra the king who successfully unified Nehekhara through cleverness, strength and the blessings of their gods. 

He was ruthless towards anyone who challenged or even questioned his rule, from bandits to leaders of other kingdoms who thought they were "equal", having them [[blam|dealt with]] [[Inquisition|loudly and publicly]]. In undeath, he became strong enough that he can tear anyone who invites his wrath limb from limb, [[Fist of the North Star|with his bare hands]]. The combination of brutal efficiency and effective rule brought about an unequaled golden age for Nehekhara that trumped everything humans (and came close to the height of elves) that had ever been before or after. He also considered ruling the world to be his destiny, to the point not even his own sons were considered worthy to take up the mantle of all that he has wrought.

He is also a textbook example of the Knight Templar trope (doing terrible things to get his point across for a greater goal, seeking the best for people, self-righteous, bonus points for being religious too). The man sacrificed his own children without a second thought to the gods to prove his devotion to them (whether this makes him a dedicated ruler or an evil zealot is [[Skub|a matter of debate]]).

In all fluff, Settra wound up with more titles than an [[Ogre Kingdoms|Ogre Tyrant]] and had servants whose entire job was reciting them (punishment for those who fucked up) all day, every day. It took his heralds nearly two hours to say them all. Unlike many people with a ton of titles, [[Awesome|he earned most of them]].
