However, one of the Lama’s followers believed he had found a way to control the dark magical forces without being corrupted by them. Fortified by this belief, they began their dark rituals while the Lama lay in his deathbed. Their plan might have worked. The ritual might have contained the corrupting influence. But necromancy is not an art to be trifled with, and it exacted a price. The ritual failed, and the dark energies fed off the magical forces designed to contain them. There was an explosion of blackness over the entire valley, and when the cloud settled, the followers realized what they had done, for now they were all cursed to the eternal torment of undeath.The evil force that overwhelmed the shrine was one of corruption not destruction. Rather than destroy those too weak to resist, it infused them with fragments of its own essence and transformed them into powerful undying servants, devoted to its goals. Advanced Specter: ?Elite Sword Wraith: Any humanoid killed by a sword wraith rises as a free-willed sword wraith at the start of its creator’s next turn, appearing in the space where it died (or in the nearest unoccupied space).

Just before death, a vile ritual is worked, drawing upon the power of the Shadowfell, which transforms the victim into a towering, bulbous monstrosity that lives only to eat. Splintered One: Splintered ones are horrific undead creatures created from humanoid victims that have been forced to undergo a terrible necromantic ritual. The ritual promotes extreme and grotesque bone growth, causing the victim’s flesh to erupt with hundreds of calcified spurs and spikes.
