Gyles Phalley
Gyles Phalley
The young Gyles went to study under a seasoned wizard named Donovan Willian, the young pupil arrived at the destination, mental state mixed between anxious and expecting. Uncertain what he might experience, if he would be alright and if his parents would still accept and recognise him when he returned.
Over the years the young became older and he found a taste for the power. He also found impatience and a hunger for more. The young wizard learned a lot over the years, he might have been destined for joining the Council of the Eight Tipped Star as a established honored member. His hunger and patience became his downfall.
During a session of arcane exploration and discovery, his mentor and he discovered a powerful artifact. At first the mentor locked it away, but with a lot of trading with higher powers, and signing contracts the young Gyles Phalley gained access to the artifact. He was to become master of the undead and eventually become one himself. Gyles stoles the artifact and ran for the outback, escaping the wrath of his mentor.
Over the years the mentor hired/guided/prepared/lead many a heroes and adventurers to reclaim the artifact, but to no avail. Gyles had already become a power upon himself and he commanded his undead to lay siege and destroy the mentor's home town of Friedence, the current adventurer's tried their best but eventually all the citizens had fallen and turned into undeads under the command of Gyles. The land became a wasteland, dead to everyone and a zone of undeads.
The other powers tried to overcome the undeads and sent plenty of divine clerics and paladins to rout out the evil and undead. Unfortunately the undeads and Gyles had become too <dug in, settled, entrenched> to make a real difference. Instead the powers that be decided to wall them in and with powerful magics make sure the undeads couldn't leave the area. Permanent gems of Undead turning and destruction was established along the walls, magic of fireball, fire and radiant energy damaging spells were placed where needed or the undead proved especially difficult. Now the entire land of undead are encircled by a great wall and Gyles Phalley and his undead roam exclusively.
New roads had to be made, which added another week to the travel time. Despite the powerful magics of the The long trail system and its destructive energy towards everything standing too close, eventually they had to redo the line as to bypass the area.
