Great Tomb of Nazarick

The headquarters of the guild Ainz Ooal Gown in YGGDRASIL. After Nazarick is transported to the New World with its NPCs, who gain sentience, Ainz begins to take action to protect the tomb. However, the NPCs believe that he is planning world domination and begin to formulate plans of their own; by the time Ainz realizes their intentions, he has no choice but to go along with what they believed his plans were. This eventually leads to Nazarick becoming its own nation: the Sorcerer Kingdom.
