Undead cyclops, from Dark Messiah
The undead of the world of Ashan are creatures raised by necromancers to do their bidding.
History[]
Necromancy was invented in 461 YSD by Belketh, student of Sar-Shazzar. He founded House Eterna, a new house of magic within the Seven Cities that created the first undead beings. House Eterna used their new servants to defeat the orcs and beastmen during the Orc Crusades.
Their victory gave House Eterna increased power and influence. After the discovery of the Mother Namtaru, the avatar of death, House Eterna became less of a magic school and more of a cult. The other houses grew fearful of House Eterna's power and fanatical beliefs, and began to purge the necromancers from the Seven Cities. Members of the house regrouped in Heresh.
