The Necromancer Daolok

The Necromancer Daolok arrived in the Forgotton Lands a long time ago. Many Orcs fell under his influence but others defied him. Those who stood against him were killed and brought back through necromancy, becoming the first residents of the undead area of Necropolia. It is said that even the foundations of the city are cursed so that if you die there you will become undead.

The city was erected over the centuries, on the west side of the Mont des Enfers. The City of the Damned is invisible to the careless eye that observes the valley. But when we approach the black mountain, it suddenly appears, like an immense dark monolith on a high point. The city grows with each night that passes on this world, because it was built by the damned beings of the Terrible Necromancer. The dead do not know exhaustion and weariness, working tirelessly with labor that no man could bear.

Its ramparts are wide and high. The city is full of dark, chaotic streets that culminate towards the top. A vast cemetery extends from the foot of the mountain to the very walls of the city. But most of the city is located within the mountain itself. We know almost nothing about these dark places, the caves are endless. And an evil haunts these cursed places, where even the bravest heroes would not dare to venture.

Such is the cursed city of the Master of the Dead. The damned beings languished there for ages, patiently awaiting the return of their Master. His spirit came back to life, and the dead immediately resumed their work, where they had left off. The City of the Damned will quickly be rebuilt. Soon, it will vomit out the legions from beyond the grave who will sow desolation in their wake, under the banner of the Scourge of the Realms, the Necromancer Daolok.
