Quote:I have heard tell from others that there are those consumed with a love of fire, so much so that they would take upon themselves the visages of unlife to become as the fire they love. These warped fire lovers perform a ritual of pyromantic necromancy upon themselves. I have heard these undead aberrations called by many names, the scorched ones, black bones, and death pyres.
The stories told of these death pyres is that there is a forgotten stronghold of undeath hidden somewhere near the forests outside of Jackport. This stronghold was actually lead by a cumasti sorcerer blackbones known as Tellert. I hear that Tellert during his lifetime was already corrupted and despised as a witch-sorcerer. His hatred of good led to his pyromaniacy and later his status as a master of fiery death. There was battle I hear, probably lead by an order of arcane warriors. The death pyres were pushed deep into their stronghold and sealed within and left to smolder in their own burning hatred.
I would not want to be the one to stumble upon that ruin.
