Nex responded by unleashing a series of magical cataclysms that killed uncountable thousands of Geb’s citizens. Anguished at the scope of the devastation, Geb animated all of the slain as a vast undead army, which he immediately sent marching north. Thereafter, Gebbite society gave itself wholly to necromancy. Thousands of Geb’s most fanatical followers killed themselves to bind their undead souls in service to their ghostly sovereign, swearing eternal fealty in the ultimate act of obedience.

[b]Arazni, The Unyielding, Lich-Queen, Lich, Former Herald, Former Queen, Neutral Evil God of the Abused Dignity and Unwilling Undeath:[/b] Aroden’s former herald was slain by the Whispering Tyrant, forced into lichdom by the necromancer Geb, and escaped centuries of serving as Geb’s queen by her own cunning and tenacity. 3890 AR Geb abducts Arazni’s corpse from the Knights of Ozem, reanimates her as a lich, and forces her to become his queen. A former herald of Aroden cruelly raised from death by Geb in retribution for repeated attacks by the paladins of Lastwall, Arazni ruled the nation for centuries before escaping Geb and his kingdom in recent years.

For an ancient ghost born of anguish and resentment, Geb currently seems more engaged with his kingdom than at any point since Nex’s disappearance. Finally, in 632, Geb’s torment grew too strong to bear, and he ended his mortal life in an act of ritual suicide. But even in death, Geb’s hatred tethered his soul to Golarion as a ghost.
