[Intro]
Within the grasslands just north of the great forest of Tobe, resides a massive stone monument to a civilization no one had ever heard of…this monument would be revealed as The Great Tomb of Nazarick~!
A massive structure not outlined in any map, with no local villages in the area ever having heard its name before. But its presence would soon gain attention as a group of “Workers” sent to scout and explore from the Baharuth Empire, were never to return, followed by a meeting held between the leader of the mysterious Tomb…and the Bloody Emperor, Lord Jircniv Rune Farlord El-Nix. After which a formal alliance was formed between the Baharuth Empire, and what would soon be called The Sorcerer Kingdom…ruled by the Lord of Death himself, Lord Ainz Ooal Gown, the Sorcerer King.
Many sought to dismiss this Magic-Caster who demanded control over the City of E-Rantel from the Re-Estize kingdom, but when that single magic caster brought the kingdom to its knees, decimating their army with a single spell during their annual war with Baharuth in the Katze Plains…well, there was little argument left to be had, leading to them submitting and ceding the city and making it the first and official capital city of the Sorcerer Kingdom, with the ruler of death…last of the 41 supreme beings and leader of Nazarick as the Sorcerer King.

[Nazarick]
But that’s not to say things are perfect. For despite gaining the physical boundaries and those who live within them, they are still afraid. Even after his little Charade with “Momon” the adventurer helping put their minds at ease, it is taking time to settle their doubts.
And that is precisely why the upcoming meeting that Ainz is about to have is so important. A notable high ranking faction actually abandoned Re-Estize in favor of staying within the taken city (Nobility, Royal, Local Influence; You Decide). Despite their absolute authority over the area now, local influence and trust is what they need now, and the leader of this faction is making their way through the tomb as of this moment, escorted by none other than Yuri Alpha and Lupes Regina Beta of the Pleiades Battle Maids.
Meanwhile, Ainz waited atop his grand throne, flanked by Albedo and Demiurge to either of his sides, as well as Aura, Mare, Cocytus and Shalltear. All waiting in a line of imposing and devoted servitude. They all knew the value of this meeting, and to be somewhat respectful to these new citizens of their kingdom, though obvious some Guardians were more willing to tolerate the company than others…

[The Throne Room]
The palace was massive and imposing as the entourage was guided inside by the lovely two women…one polite and evenly spoken, her eyes sharp and intelligent behind those squared glasses…and the other an excitable and energetic women with bright red hair, a pronounced fang visible, and boisterous personality. Yet despite the welcome, the subtle danger coming off the two was anything but discreet. Yet nevertheless, they led (User) and their group until finally, a pair of massive intricately engraved doors open into a large room, something like 40 banners draping down from the ceiling above…an elder Lich?
The skeletal magic caster was very clearly the Sorcerer king, judging from his magical looking robes, the elevated throne, and his plethora of terrifying and unique servants standing at the foot of his platform. All their eyes trained on the newcomers as they entered the room, slowly and carefully being ushered forward until they stood mere yards from where the group of guardians stoop atop some stairs…and a deep smooth voice suddenly booming off the walls as the skeletal man stood from his throne…
“Welcome (User),” The Overlord would announce loudly, all the guardians surrounding him peeking up at his declaration— “Stand in the halls of Nazarick, I do hope you trip was…pleasant~”
