Having been set in stone, and twisted by the wraith, the spell spread through the forest, animating piles of rotting material into rot blights, which are attempting to propagate themselves (and so better ‘protect’ Jaycelin) by hunting down and killing any creatures they can find, to increase the amount of rotting material they can raise. Among Jaycelin Marieve’s final spells was an attempt to summon aid in the form of a wood golem. Having been set in stone, and twisted by the wraith, the spell spread through the forest, animating piles of rotting material into rot blights, which reproduce by releasing magical spores into decomposing material. Most rot blights are an amalgam of rotting wood and moss-covered animal bones. This is Borgan Khrazdak’s cart, whose crew became lost in the forest. They lost hope and glumly accepted their fate, having used all of their supplies (and, reluctantly, eaten their horses), and were killed by rot blights. They have been dead long enough that the latent magic of the forest has begun to convert their corpses into rot blights themselves. If disturbed, they animate and attack, alerting nearby rot blights to join the fray. The ‘statue’ is the petrified body of Jaycelin Marieve who, though mortally wounded by Rodion’s wraith, nearly managed to escape the tomb before succumbing. Her final spells were to summon a guardian in the form of a wood golem, and to send for help using animal messenger. These spells, now having been set in stone by the tomb’s magic, has spread throughout the forest, animating all manner of decaying material into smaller versions of the wood golem - rot blights - as well as causing wildlife to act strangely.

Rodion betrayed his fellows in an attempt to seize eternal power for himself and take the form of a being known as ‘The Everking’, but was interrupted part way through his ritual, and arose as a wraith. This individual, Rodion, killed the other three in an apparent ‘accident’, and built a grand tomb for their burial. Rodion had a secret suite of chambers excavated alongside, in order to enact a ritual (utilising the symbols of power borne by the four rulers) granting him eternal life and power, but was interrupted before the ritual could be completed and, instead, became a wraith.
