Throne of Bones cover by Jamie Oberschlake Ghoul Kings:

And there are some who fashion themselves chiefs and leaders and gather forces to wage small wars in the pitch blackness. Among the ghouls are some who can raise the dead, perhaps with half-remembered necromancy. Their mad laughter echoes down the halls and through the rotten corridors. The ghouls themselves are erratic and unhinged, perhaps due to living in relative isolation for so long, or perhaps it is the influence of the Throne of Bones itself. Below the surface the tunnels stretch for miles, occasionally opening into vast halls or caverns, or becoming the twisting, bone-filled lairs of the ghouls. Now the Necropolis is overgrown ruins, lost to all but the most intrepid explorers and students of history, a place as vile and dangerous as Mordheim. With the ascendency of the lore of Undeath in the Old World the necropolis attracted necromancers and, in time, became a home to ghouls. But the tombs became labyrinthine as more elaborate buildings were raised on the ruins of older ones and the rotten foundations became infested with vermin. In ancient times the Necropolis was a graveyard that became a monument to death and then a city, when the gravediggers and graverobbers set up homes and industries to exploit the wealth of corpses. The Throne is lost deep in the ancient catacombs, tunnels, ghoul warrens and tombs of the Necropolis. A vampire civil war in the catacombs, a hunt for a throne that was thought to be only a legend but that every vampire has heard of and wants for themselves – the Throne of Bones. This project is an attempt to bring some of that darkness to Warhammer and Mordheim. Not for the feint of heart, but also darkly funny. They are hideous and crude, and there is a lot of sex and violence: McNaughton’s book is one of the most graphic I have ever read. The thing I found most evocative was the descriptions of ghouls as always laughing, bullying, animalistic creatures.

The book mainly revolves around the various grotesque activities of ghouls in its evocative setting – the vast ghoul-haunted graveyards and catacombs of the Crotalorn necropolis. The Throne of Bones is a Mordheim/Warhammer Fantasy project inspired by the Brian McNaughton book of the same name. Brian McNaughton, 'The Throne of Bones' It vaporizes delicacy and leaves behind only a slag of anger and lust.”

Hunger is the fire in which they burn, and it burns hotter than the hunger for power over men or for knowledge of the gods in a crazed mortal. “For all their laughter, ghouls are a dull lot.
