Rehaal- City of the Dead

The city of Rehaal is surrounded by a desert of black sand, earth that has been tainted by decades of necromancy.The only living beings in the entire city are rats, insects, and food for the undead masters of the city. The city's army does not need to sleep, and they are constantly on guard. Its wizards are constantly practicing spells, and its king, Asmed the Mad, is constantly plotting.

Asmed was once an ambitious northern king, who came into power through his strength and cunning, and his overcoming of his adversaries. And then came the whispers. The seductive whispers of the goddess of murder and darkness, and the louder voice of death itself. Asmed fell into madness, and slew his kingdom with fell magic, using their life force to transform himself into a lich. His subjects were transformed into undead, and the city sank into shadow.

Asmed is paranoid, vain, and cruel, and plans to rule the world entire. He dreams of conquering the Republic and even the kingdoms of the heavens. He wants the world to choke on black sand, to feel the chill of the grave, and to serve the god of death. His sights are set on the twin cities of Halith and Puhrel, and he waits with the patience of the grave.
