Those who are Dead

As said long ago, there were many in the world of Nalthos that believed that there were more than one realm....in fact it was proven when creatures of various nightmares have come.  Each one terrorized much of Naltha for many years to come. 

Yet, the majority of them were easily killed, Elves seemed to have the ability to control this issue, along with the great well that hidden in the great city of Aulou....

But due to a single human's arrogance, 'The Song of Destruction' had come and gone, and Aulou, as well as the great magical well was gone.  This seemed to have created a ripple in the realm, and closed off much of the world from all the other realms....But one.

A single tear was left where the ruined city once was, far too small for beasts of any other realm to appear..though one thing finally slipped into the world....and it was probably one of the most dangerous thing that could have.

Amongst the realms is the Netherworld, where all the dead go to and wait to be lead to the afterlife.  Many come to the realm to wait judgement, but there had to be things in that realm to give the judgement...

Though many never truly believed it, a being did get through.  None have truly seen the real thing, just his shadow, and yet the shadow of him is feared.  Upon his arrival, he sensed one of the greatest power sources...The Tattered Tower, the home of the late Alchemist.   Sensing great arcane energies within that Tower, the being used the magics....to move the Tower.  Now it was gone from where it once was....and placed at the center of where the 'Song of Destruction' took place.

Since the move of the Tower, a great duststorm has encircled it, hiding it from the world.  There the being....known as the 'Horned King', resides.  The dust storm is far too powerful for anyone to enter, and the ruins underneath is protected by some of the highest level beasts...undead Chimera and Golems that follow him....

To top it all off is that, whatever he is, he has the power of Necromancy..only his is far worse.  He is able to give life to the dead, but for him it's worse.  The beasts are stronger than the undead, their muscle regrown, and even enhanced, their bones are almost steel in strength, and their faces...it's like they're flesh was grown but with no muscles underneath, leaving twisted faces of the undead. 

The Horned King made thousands of these creatures, from the fallen of the 'Song of Destruction', and continues to use his power to grow more, for every fallen that his men slay, they bring them back to become one of them. 


The worse yet.  Many who have tried to enter the tower have failed due to the beasts within the ruins below.  But there are four known great heroes who have passed the ruins...and never returned...alive.  Four Heroes went in, and years later, the great armies of the dead are now being lead by four great Generals who appears remarkably like the fallen four.

With the four fallen heroes, and the undead horde behind their backs...it would be such so easy to destroy the world, yes?

Well, the answer would be yes..yet somehow he's straining, holding back from sending his forces fully out upon the world and cast a great genocide across the globe.  He only has ordered his soldiers to remain in the desert.  Only time will tell when he will strike.
