Necrons, Awakening of the Pariah Nexus Protocol
Racial Introduction: Necrons
The Necrons are amongst the most ancient and powerful races in the galaxy. Armoured bodies of living metal, they advance in inexorable lockstep upon their terrified foes. Their weapons unleash fundamental energies of the cosmos, even as flickering portals beam Necrons into battle across impossible interstellar gulfs. Shattered shards of insane star gods warp reality itself to annihilate the enemy, even as deranged nobles command mighty war engines to eradicate their victims wholesale. Terrible, monstrous beings with bladed limbs and glowing eyes stalk their victims fromt he shadows, attacking in sudden explosions of insane butchery. As the Necrons' archeotechnological tomb cities rise up from below and their eerie invasion fleets sweep down from the skies, their enemies feel the icy grip of terror clutch their hearts; surely their doom is upon them.
In Search of Immortality
Most of the galaxy's most sentient races know the necrons as the terrifying beings they are now. Indeed, it took the Lesser Races many centuries ever to recognize them as a coherent xenos race. The Necrons' ruling nobility were clearly seen to be sentient and ferociously intelligent. However, few amongst them made any efforts
to elaborate upon their origins or motivations to what they consider to be the lesser races. They have simply exterminated them.
Yet hints exist even now, in deeply buried xenoarcheological remnants, in the long memories and hidden lore of the Astral Elves( or what the Necrons call the Aeldari) and in commonalities of primitive artwork and tribal mythologies, of a race very different to the Necrons known and feared far from when Necrons roamed every corner of the cosmos, every corner of the Wildspace systems.
The War in Heaven
Once, the legends suggest, the Necrons were a flesh-and-blood race known as the Necrontyr. Short-lived and warlike, these beings were obsessed with death and - for all their wondrous technologies and star-spanning empires - were in fact quarrelsome and fractious. Legends tell that, desperate to unite their people, the Necrons' rulers began a war with the beings known as the Old Ones. It was a war over the secrets of immortality, and also a war that the Necrontyr could never win.
If cogent details of this War in Heaven stil exist, they do so only in the memories of the Necrons themselves. However, the Aeldari lore suggests the Old Ones were the creators of the mystical Weave.TheOld Ones used the Weave to fend of the Necrons on all fronts during the War in Heaven.
It was in the Necrontyr's darkest hour, during the reign of Szarekh, last of the Silent Kings, that the C'tan( Elder Gods) - those that are called the Yngir - came before the Necrontyr with an offer to aid. The legends speak of ancient star gods, beings formed of the fundementals of life's very existence in the universe, who offered Szarekh and his people all they have ever desired: power and immortality. All it would cost was the Necrontyr to ally themselves with the C'tan to destroy the hated Old Ones forever.
Szarekh deliberated long, but in the end he accepted the offer. In doing so, he damned his entire race. Fragments of lore describe what followed; the nightmare process of biotransference that placed the minds of the Necrontyr into living metal bodies and transformed them into the Necrons. The price was their souls, devoured by the leering C'tan and - for all bu those of ruling castes - the obliteration of almost all personality and free will. No more would the Necrons war and politick with one another, for their wills were bound to Szarekh's control through-iron command protocols. Yet the cost of this unity had been monstrous indeed.
The legends continue, scattered fragments telling of the defeat of the Old Ones and of how, in the moment when the C'tan were at their weakest following the titanic conflict, the Necrons took their revenge and shattered the duplicitous starv gods. They describe how Szarekh saw that his people's time was done, for they could not face the Old Ones' vengeful servants - the Aeldari cheif amongst them. It is said that the Silent King commanded
\pagebreaknum
his people to inter themselves within the stasis-crypts of their tomb cities, there to sleep out the aeons until they could rise again to conquer all. Finally, destroying his command protocols and freeing his race, Szarekh took his ship into the intergalactic void to seek whatever solace he might amongst the empty darkness.
The Awakening
The Necrons have slept for sixty million years, if the Aeldari Book of the Mournful Night is to be believed. Now they are waking at last, rising to take back what once was theirs, and the galaxy temples temples before them.
The technologies that facilitated the Great Sleep were so far beyond Human comprehension that they might as well have been sorcery. Hyperintelligent master programs and legions of Canoptekh slave-constructs watched over the Necron tombs as the ages crept vrept past. Despite all this, manifold disasters beset the slumbering race. Some tomb worlds worlds were plundered by lesser races or purposefully purged by vengeful Aeldari. Others faced cascade failures in their stasis-crypts, were obliterated by stellar by stellar catastrophe or comet strike, or endured such a violent tectonic shifts that entire tombs were flooded with lava.
Even those worlds that survided ended up far from their original positions, scattering the dynastic territories of old and leaving the Necrons fragmented and factionalised. The chronostats of many tomb worlds slipped due to mechanical failure or empyric distortion. Thus, rahter than rising up as one across the galaxy, the Necrons have awoken piecemeal. Some emerged from stasis during the days of the Cosmos's unification, while others slumber still.
Nor have the Necrons themselves come through the process unchanged. Corruption has crept into the minds of many, either during the ages or while enduring slow and unsettling process of revivification. Nihilistic madness or madness stupor claim some, while personality engrams of others have been distorted by countless subtle derangements.
For all this, many billions of Necrons have already awoken and trillions more stir. Their noble leaders might, in many cases, be mad, but they have lost none of their arrogant sense of superiority, nor their desire for conquest. Every Overlord and Phaeron, has their own agenda, be it to stockpile and fortify, to raid and destabilise, to send forth imperious envoys or to begin omnicidal purges of non-Necron life. To other races, the Necrons' behaviour seems random to the point of insanity, yet in truth most are working towards the same core goals: reconquer the stars they once ruled and restore to glory whichever dynasty they once belonged to.
A Thousand Empires
Most Necron nobles are still traditionalists, cleaving to ancient social and martial forms. They impose rigid hiearchies on their underlings and order and deploy their legions in accordance wiht - or defiance or - the codes of the Triarch that once governed them all. Most importantly, they still fight for their ancient dynasties.
Sautekh, Mephrit, Nihilakh, and Ogdobekh - these and countless other dynasties make up the splintered Necron race. All are technically united in subservice of the Silent King. In truth, amny believe themselves as far above the fival dynasties as all Necron nobles believe their species above the lesser races. Dynasties are as likely to fall into conflict as to ally, and countless smaller dynasties have been subsumed into the territories of the larger and more powerful conquerors.
For all this, mnore Necrons awaken all the time. As their numvbers grow, so too do the dire threats they they pose to the galaxy. Now Szarekh, last of the Silent Kings, has returned and seeks to unite his people in galactic conquest again. Whispers precede him of a diabolical plan to negate the galaxy-ending threat of Chaos and subjugate the lesser races once and for all. With his enemies locked in a war of mutual annihilation and more Necrons rallying to his banner by the day, it may already be too late for any to stop him...
Necrons: Racial Features
Necrons take the forms of large mettalic skeletons, with fused ribs, long skulls, with deep pulsing light sprouting from the gaps in their bodies. They are broad shouldered and tall, even with most of them hunched over. In the center of their chests sits a small intricate sigil, featuring either the mark of the triach, or the dynastic emblem(generally reserved for royalty).
Society
To better understand necron society, understanding the past helps. Way back before they were robbed of their souls, the necrontyr lived in strict, rigid monarchies. Due mostly to the short and cancer riddled nature of their lives, these positions had high turn-over rates. However, after the replacement of flesh with cold hard metal, these positions quickly became permanent. So while it still is technically a monarchy, there isn't much in the way of succession. Necron society is split into dynasties, overruled by a phaeron. This phaeron manages a royal court, containing overlords and crypteks who advise and have tasks delegated to. These overlords rule over a small sect of planets, and their own royal court of lords, and the lords manage individual planets and their own small court of those who help to manage the tomb world. In this system, the phaeron holds absolute power over the dynasty, with the lower rungs of lords and overlords having less and less freedom to act outside of orders as it goes down. There isn't much to these societies past the nobility, as only some of the elites of the army, immortals, deathmarks, and lychguard namely, have kept some form of sentience.

Male Names: Anrakyr, Imotekh, Orikan, Trazyn, Szarekh, Szeras
Female Names: Xun'bakyr, Hasokh, Osovet, Tarekh

Subraces/Dynasties
Mephrit Dynasty
Once, civilizations all across the galaxyknew to dread the Mephrit dynasty. When an example needed to be made, or a redoubtable opponent shattered, it was they who executed the deed. Employing spaceborne weaponry of incalculable power, the Mephrit mercilessly slew the stars that gave enemy systems life, leaving their foes frozen in the void or annihilated in seething storms of stellar fire. Many other Necron dynasties found such
conduct dishonorable and distasteful; few lauded the Mephrit for their deeds, despite the fact that countless interstellar campaigns were swiftly and decisively concluded this way. Their peers might have scorned their methods, but none have been foolish enough to court the Mephrit Dynasty's displeasure. In the end, the Mephrit themselves were satisfied that to be feared was an even greater boon than to be accorded honour and respect.
The millenia have not been kind to the Mephrit Dynasty. Though many of their tomb worlds survive intact, the dynasty's phaeron - Khyrekh the Eternal - was slain by pernicious Aeldari infiltrators while he still slumbered. Worse still, the Mephrit have awoken to find their grand weapons of solar execution lost or destroyed by the violent caprice of an uncaring galaxy.
Rule of the Mephrit Dynasty is now hotly contended for. Ambitious nobles such as Zarathusa the Ineffable, Eknothet the Glorious and Anubitar of the Thousand Victories strive to outmanoeuvere one another, providing their supremacy through military victories and deeds of grandeur. In truth, though, the first to reclaim the ability to murder stars will surely reign supreme. It is for this reason that several contenders have now turned to the Technomandrites for aid.
Ability Score Increase. Increase your dexterity score by 1.

Nephrekh Dynasty
When the tomb complex deep beneath the surface of the oasis planet of the twin suns of the Aryand Wildspace stirred to wakefulness, its inhabitants emerged to find that the legions of the Altymhor Dynasty lay had lay claim to their world. These rivalries have been drawn, in part, by a desire to enslave humanoid settlers who had long basked in Aryand's solar bounty. However, the Altymhor had also sought to harness the energies of the trinary stars for their own military use.
The Nephrekh phaeron, Sylphekh, wasted no time in fighting back. the Great Sleep had corrupted Sylhpekh's personality engrams and left not just appreciative of his crownworlds neighboring stars , but completely obsessed by them. He was incensed by what he saw as the desecration of his dynasties sacred rites; the campaign for retribution that Sylphekh led was lightning-swift and ferocious, soon driving Altymhor Necrons and humanoid forces alike from the system.
Since that day, the Nephrekh have basked in the light of their stars. Harnessing these energies has allowed them to amass arsenals of doomsday weaponry and other potent technologies with which to blast their foes to ashes. Sylphekh's obsessions have also played their part, for his desire to be draped in the molten glory of his stars led his dynasty's Crypteks to fashion him skin of living metagold that - through advanced hyperalchemical process - allows him to transform into pure light and cross incredible distances in an eye-blink. Believing himself a celstial diety, Sylphekh has since bestowed this golden form upon his most trusted Overlords and other lieutenants, and has even had the technology worked into the burnished bodies of his lesser soldiery. Now, the grand legions of the Nephrekh Dynasty advance in gilded magnificence, stuttering and blinking across the battlefield with terrifying speed.
Abiltity Score Increase Increase your Dexterity Score by 1.
Meta-Gold. When Sylphekh, your phaeron laid eyes upon the legion for whcih you belonegd to, he devoted some of his technomandrites to arm you with the blessed Mate-Gold that he praises ever so zealously.

- Your main protocol is '2. Protocol of the Sudden Storm.' (the protocol is active always and both directives are as well).
Nihilakh Dynasty
The well-appointed Nihilakh legions had another advantage in this war for survival; greatest of the dynasty's cosmic treasures was the preserved head of the Yth seer - the last of its race and a means by which the Necrons could peer into the skeins of the future. Armed with such prescient intelligence, the Nihilakh struck precisely where and when they needed to in order to crush any interlopers, transforming their defensive stance into a more offensive march for conquest. Now the Nihilakh legions are on the march, seizing and heavily fortifying new territories with noctolith pylons before advancing again. They have openly aligned themselves with the returned Silent King, and seek nothing short of galactic dominance for their people.
Ability Score Increase. Increase your Wisdom by 1.

- Your main protocol is '1.Protocol of the Eternal Guardian' (the protocol is active always and both directives are as well)
Novokh Dynasty
Few Necrons are as frightening to face in battle as those of the Novokh Dynasty. It is one thing to witness flesh-and-blood warriors slashing a path through their foes, but to see glassy-eyed androids mve from methodical, mechanical killing to ever more frenzied industrial slaughter is another scale of horror entirely. The Novokh offer no quarter, no mercy for their victims. Instead they hack them apart like lunatic butchers set loose in a pen of livestock. They do not stop killing until their living metal bodies are drenched in fore and their victims are not but dismembered meat.
Ability Score Increase. Increase your strength score by 1.
Awakned by Murder. The crimson hosts of Novokh remember well of the sacred rites of blooding preformed by your kind in ancient times. The dynasty's martial heritage awakens a spark of violent pride within its legions, lending power and ferocity to their attacks.

- When moving towards a hostile creature you gain an additional 5 feet.
- Each time you make a melee attack against a creature, if you moved that turn, or the creature moved to you in the previous round, add a bonus +1 to the attack rolls to that creature.
- The main protocol for you is '4. Protocol of the Hungry Void.' (the protocol is active always and both directives are as well).
Sautekh Dynasty
The Crownworld of the Sautekh Dynasty is known as the Mandragora the Golden, and it is the embodiement of the Sautekh themselves. Sepulchrally grim in its macabre magnificence and fortified on a scale that makes the notion of invasion seem a dark jest, Mandragora is centre for military power, unimaginable riches and the singular obsession of ultimate galactic conquest.
This is but one world of the Suatkeh Dynasty, of course - in the centuries since the first Suatekh tomb complexes awoke, this dynasty have claimed hundreds more - though Mandragora is undoubtedly their greatest. The Sautekh legions march tirelessly, the dynasty's entire focus bent upon marshelling
Ability Score Increase. Increase your intelligence score by 1.
Relentless Advance. Nothing can hault the inexorable march of the Suatekh. These disdainful conquerors will stop at nothing to retake their ancient domain, obliterating any who dare to defy them in a storm of death and destruction.

- If you are making a(n) ranged attack on a target within 90 feet of you, you can add a d6 to the total.
- Your main protocol is '6. Protocol of the conquering Tyrant.' (the protocol is active always and both directives are as well).
Szarekhan Dynasty
At the time of the War in Heaven the Szrekhan Dynasty was preeminent among the Necrontyr, with its members serving as the Silent King for many generations. This included the last Silent King, Szarekh. After the end of the War in Heaven and the shattering of the C'tan, Szarekh took some of his now-Necron Szarekhan Dynasty into the intergalactic void with him on his mission of exile and penance. Though in stasis, they remained with Szarekh for millions of years until he discovered the Tyranids within the void and returned to the galaxy in late M41.
The Tomb Worlds of the Szarekhan Dynasty remaining in the Galaxy suffered in the meantime. First against Eldar attacks and then by embittered Necrons of other Dynasties who felt the Silent King had abandoned them. The Szarekhan were slow to rise. In M18, Warp Storm Asmodeor devastated the worlds of the Szarekhan Dynasty.[8b] These problems only exacerbated the issue, as rival dynasties caused further acts of sabotage while they continued to sleep. When they were finally brought back, they found their numbers much depleted. Despite these difficulties, they wasted no time in asserting their dominance once again and believed in a prophecy that the Silent King would one day return to lead their people to salvation. Their faith was eventually rewarded, for in late M41 the Silent King appeared openly.
With news of the Silent King's return, many Necron Dynasties now eagerly ally themselves with the Szarekhan. Other Necron Dynasties have rebelled against the Szarekhan, blaming them for the terrible fate that befall the Necrons.[8b] The Szarekhan nobility views the galaxy with a sense of entitlement, and they are quick to subjugate their rivals and annihilate those who refuse to comply.[2] The Dynasty currently has territories in both Segmentum Tempestus and south of the Galactic Core in Ultima Segmentum.
Necron memories regarding the Szarekhan Dynasty are unclear and inconsistent, and even individuals such as Orikan the Diviner have difficulty discovering the past of the Dynasty. Even to the Necrons themselves, when the Szarekhan Dynasty formed and how long they have been awake is inconsistent. Disturbingly, no Necron seems able to concentrate on the topic long enough to discover an answer.
Ability Score Increase. Increase your intelligence score by 1.
Uncanny Artificer. The Szarekhan dynasty exhibit a deep-rooted ability to fashion and maintain the finest wargear of any Necron dynasty. Enemy fire ricochets harmlessly from your magnificent android form while, in return, every blast and blade stroek the Szarekhan level at their enemies is lethal and extreme.
- Each time you would lose a number of hit points as the result of magic, roll a number of d6 (the dice's pool is equal to your consitution modifier), you regain a number of hit points to what the dice rolled. The pool is refilled at the end of every long rest.
- Each time you would make a ranged attack, you gain advantage with that attack. You can only use this feature a number of time equal to your intelligence modifier (minimum of 1).
- Your main protocol is '5. Protocol of the Undying Legions.' (the protocol is active always and both directives are as well).
