The Story...

​

In the Northern Realm of Grimwoods, a war erupts upon the discovery of the Omega Crystals near Ro’vara. A physical power that was both cosmic and frightening, with monumental levels of mana energy in a single grasp.

Scholars of the arcane arts warned that these crystals were not meant for mortal consumption. But there were many who did not heed the warning, they believed they could overcome the risks and wield it.

And so the War of Winter Avarice began. Those who wanted the Omega Crystals for themselves versus those who wanted to keep them away from misuse. All vying, fighting, and struggling to obtain them, an obsession where people freeze to death fighting over an untouchable power.

But as the war continued, the mages who held the crystals became gravely ill. The crystal’s unearthly aura spliced the mage’s blood, its energy causing intense anguish and pain. Horrific changes began to overtake them. Their flesh fell from their bones and their minds were overwhelmed by bloodlust. Even their magic began to warp and twist into something empty, hungering, and unyielding.

From the decay of their souls necromancy was born. 

 

Most died horrifically from the transformation, but those who survived became grotesque and atrocious beings of immense power known as Liches. Devoid of their inner light, they found themselves with a primal desire to consume not only flesh but also blood, magic and souls
