Morrow
The God of Necromancy, the Undead and Disease, The Blighted One, The Returned, The Pestilence
Morrow was born human in the same settlement as the Conqueror and growing up, was a close ally of his. His experiments into Source were noticed by the Gods and forcefully stopped. The Gods believed that his string of research would lead to a disturbance in the natural order of the world, and could not be further pursued. He assisted the Conqueror in his transformation and as a reward, was given great power. Eventually, Morrow too ascended to Godhood and worked in the shadows to construct an army for the Conqueror. Morrow realised that his practice could be improved, rather than waiting for someone to die to resurrect them as his slave, he could mark them with magic that would trigger upon their death, instantly enslaving their corpse. This blight was devastating for the armies of the Aegis and Morrow soon became a major target for them.
Morrow's experimentations continued throughout the war and with the help of Serra, he created abominations and monstrosities, flooding them into the mortal plane without much care for where they went, what they did or who they killed. The Aberrant War revealed that other planes either worshipped Morrow, or had replicated his magic, as the Aberrations that flooded Mytha appeared to be made from the same arcane techniques.
In the Battle of the Lakes, Morrow's body was burnt away by Solus, but his conciousness prevailed, enduring in one of the many undead husks he had created. Morrow believed that the Conqueror was going to lose the war and so hid his survival from both the Aegis and the Arbitri. After the war, there were attempts by cultists in Averna to return him to his full power, revealing to the people of Prima that the God of Necromancy was still a threat. Though they failed, Morrow still haunts the mortal plane, a shadow biding its time.Relationships
Followers of Morrow
The Followers of Morrow were a large cult in Averna, a country to the East, but that is not to say they are not present in Mytha itself. Cultists are usually small cells or simply wizards seeking to expand their powers into forbidden territories. The Order Unbroken and Hallowed Inquisition both relentlessly pursue any trace of the God and his following.
