Talks of the Corpse King and his return flooded the entire empire.
The legend says that a long, long, long time ago, a famous and cruel Necromancer walked these lands, spreading death wherever he passed.
However, he was finally killed and his bones sealed within the Holy Capital.
There, he is supposed to rest for all eternity, unless any of his bone fragments get missing.
It's true!
Everyone knows that a Necromancer never truly dies.
They held power over the dead because of how frequent they crossed the borders between the living and dead when practicing necromancy.
In truth, necromancers could indeed die, however those in this Lower Realm didn't know or have the right abilities to completely put a necromancer to rest.
So they sealed this powerful Lich in a powerful formation underneath the Royal Capital.
