He never got along particularly well with the Allas priests (written as: "his propensity for evil steadily increased"), and when he started doing some things they considered vile (binding the dead, etc.), that enmity flared up into a real political struggle, which eventually became an outright war between his corpses and their soldiers. After he destroyed/buried their cavern temple, the hero Turin was brought in. Turin killed Shuurso, but nothing is known of the battle itself (although plenty of storytellers have filled in the gaps with their imaginings).The sad fact is that really, none of the above is completely certain, and none of the players are deeply immersed scholars of Theralis history, nor have they sought one out on this minor footnote of their adventure. And why should they? It's ancient history, the Stone is returned, and there are orcs who need sandal leather applied to their posteriors.So think upon it no more.
