"From what I have been able to tell the undead he uses follow his instructions to the letter. They do this becuase they are too simple to have intiution on their own. So if he tells them wait at a clearing for money. When it comes bring it to the well, and drop it in, they will do exactly that, regardless of amount, or anything else that may be occurring to them. I have found however that he usually cleavets his instructions with 'defend yourself if attacked'. St Avril is not the only town under his boot at the monent, but those things are not may concern. near as I can tell St Avril is the closest to this strong hold, and all the abominationsi have tracked reutrn here.
I do not know where the Barron came from, but I did search through the elvin history of nobility, and did not find his name memtioned anywere. A contact on the human side of things had a simmiliar story to tell. With the exception of a disgraced noblemen who went by that name centeries ago. Apareently he was executed for desecration of the dead.
I have not met the Barron personally, nor even heard of him untill the day the post carrier brought me news of my brothers murder by his hand. Given the amount of 'tax' he charges the town in the area. And the fact that he assumes the authority to tax anything I would say he is both greedy and arrogant. However if his defenses are any indactation stupidity is not amoung his list of short comings. I believe him human, and all humans have a weakness for a pretty face, and most partake heavily with wine. But I can not confirm that with this particular human.
I am woefully ingnorant of the matters concerning the abominations. i have heard tales of pious clergy who were able to command the power for righteousness to destroy them. I have also heard of cultists who were able to bend the walking dead to their will. As to how they were able to do these things, I know not.
Unfortunately the maps I studied remian in the Ikashian central library archives."
