Shaal-Muzar - Dirge of Ninevah

“I am the silence before the fall - the prayer unsaid, the offering unburned. I am the ritual that breaks empires.”

Shaal‑Muzar, the Dirge of Nineveh, strides from the shadows as the architect of the first great blasphemy - an ancient priest‑sorcerer who whispered empires to ruin and opened Nineveh’s gates to Hell itself. His thirteen cursed mouths speak only lies, his rune‑carved claws tear through flesh and faith alike, and the skulls of kings rattle at his feet as he enacts the will of the City of Dis. Sculpted in exquisite, nightmarish detail, this miniature embodies the terror of a being who sees thrones as tools and demons as pawns. From the shifting mask of hell‑metal to the ossified claws etched in reversed cuneiform, Shaal‑Muzar is a figure of ritual precision and apocalyptic intention - followed always by the Procession of Ashur’s Doom, his living altar of blood‑scribes, ash‑bearers, and flayed choirs. Whether commanding the battlefield or looming as a centrepiece display, he brings with him the fall of nations and the memory of a city swallowed by damnation.
