Wraith Recon: Enemies Within
4e
Undead: The other gods did not take well to her arrival, especially when she began to cull their growing flocks. Although the King of Beasts saw no harm in what she was tasked to do, Mersmerro and Praxious despised her role – instead wanting their creations to last forever. The War of Creation saw their faiths clash terribly and the two more powerful gods inflicted terrible losses upon the Queen of Darkness. Her living worshippers suffered terribly and Mortessal made a hard choice in order to replenish her defenders – she brought Undeath to Nuera. Her ranks of minions exploded with the risen warriors taken from all over the world and soon her attackers were buffeted back. It was a terrible price this world had to pay; she placed the undead in her reign and forced all of Nuera to weather them for the rest of time.
Of course, this simple blessing would be of no protection against powerful necromantic magics like the ones taught regularly by the cults of Mortessal – or the dark rites that had to be called upon to create the dracolich that ravaged the eastern borders.
The undead rising up in the wake of the Lornish minions are not of Mortessal’s creation; they come from another dark source and her Circle sees them as a challenge to her authority.

Liche Priest of the Black Circle: Where ‘common’ liches are undead spellcasters that selfishly gave their life forces to further their magical might and live eternally, liche priests are chosen by the Black Circle to join their cult as the eternally damned servants of the Queen of Darkness. The existing liche priests, led by the primordial Baphomes, choose only the most devoted and powerful worshippers of Mortessal to become dread warlocks – let alone the type of follower they look for to undergo the ritual of Dark Becoming.
There are six canoptic jars used by the liche priests during the secret and powerful ritual that creates a new liche priest. Each of these jars are roughly a foot tall and ten inches in circumference, inscribed with dozens of arcane glyphs and sealed with wax made from rendered fats. Each of these jars has 30 hit points and resist 15 to all damage. The organs of the original being that are broken down and mystically placed inside the jars are:
♦ Skull (either the being’s natural one or the whispering one if the ritual’s recipient is a dread warlock)
♦ Heart
♦ Liver
♦ Kidneys
♦ Pancreas
♦ Phallus or Uterus

Dread Warlock: Only the liche priests can create dread warlocks through their own insidious rituals, making these powerful undead magic wielders out of devoted necromancers and fanatical priests. The process is brutal and lengthy, with all of the recipient’s organs being removed through necromantic surgery before being replaced with several pouches of required elements and implements. The body is then sewn back up with the skull of animated servant nestled within the organ cavity. It is said that the skull speaks to the newly risen dread warlock, goading him to do Mortessal’s bidding as she floods his body with new, dark powers.
They are infused with Mortessal’s essence of darkness, and being protected against elemental shadow and necrotic energies will go a long way to surviving an encounter with one.
