Undead Appear
No one knows exactly when the undead first appeared on Ancathra. The fey historians of Cernoa are fairly sure there weren't any undead when they first arrived here 800,000 years ago. Folklore kept alive by the gnomic bards and sages of Tanatra preserve many songs and stories of the time before the arrival of the fey. None describe anything undead, though this is not conclusive proof of their absence.
However, songs and stories involving the fey appear before allusions to the undead. This has lead scholars to believe that, like other incursions, a rift to a world of undeath opened somewhere at some point after the arrival of the fey. By the time the early dragon kings invaded 200,000 years ago, the undead were staple villains in art, literature, and music.
