Though dogs are the most common manifestation of these undead, the ghost hound stat block can be used to represent a spectral undead version of any similarly sized trained guard creature or hunting creature. [b]Spectral Trained Guard Creature:[/b] ? [b]Spectral Trained Hunting Creature:[/b] ? [b]Soulstealer:[/b] These foul undead are created by dark and secret rituals, and remain forever under the control of their creator. The process of creating a soulstealer requires the skeletal remains of a minimum of ten Medium or five Large sentient creatures, and destroys the souls of those creatures to fuel the soulstealer’s dark purpose. The bones of a soulstealer are marked with glowing runes that bind it to its creator. On two occasions, the Dread Master was able to seek out and claim the life force of sentient creatures visiting the island, restoring him to minimal power. With that power, he used his mental essence to create the foul undead soulstealers from the bones and spirits of sailors drowned on the shoals around the Black Spire. [b]Spectral Warden, Spectral Warrior, Variant Good-Aligned Ghost:[/b] A spectral warden is a variant good-aligned ghost whose actions are driven by its failure to fulfill some oath of bond or protection, and whose spirit cannot pass on until it has completed its task or atoned.

In response to word of undead attacking fishing villages along the coast, Ectarlin and his best riders rode forth to deal with the threat. They were never seen again. The ghostly lord has been drawn back to the mortal realm by a resurgence of the power of the Dread Master — the lich who slew the freelord a century ago and doomed his soul to endless sorrow.
