Beneath the vast Nemyrothean plain, resides the greatest concentration of evil in the known universe. Under the chaotic weather, primordial swamps, and roaming vicious beasts is an enormous eternally dark necropolis. At the center of it all is The Arch Demi-Lich Vceshkark.
Vceshkark was the first of the Sorcerer Kings. The most evil of the liches imprisoned beneath he Nemyrothean plains. He committed such atrocities that they are remembered to this day. The Slaughter of Skeleton Springs, The decimation of Laborton, The collapse of the Dwarven mines of Khragzuaille. All of this strife and torment inflicted upon our world. From what the legends tell us of this horrific otherworld creature. He has existed for 6000 years as an undead abomination. It might be longer than that, but that's as far back as written history takes us. It is said that he was among the first denizens in the realm of undeath, second only to Void Father.
Kreschi of the Glareij, perpetrator of the Heineary massacre, resides under the flats and monoliths of the plain also. As does Praetax the Conqueror. There is such a concentration of evil in that place, it has blighted the surrounding countryside. The blasted landscape surrounding the the plain, is a stark contrast to the plain itself. The plain a scoured from time to time by great storms of such intensity that no animal can exist on the plain. Just a massive sea of grass, interspersed with the enormous stone slabs covering the tombs.
There isn't a soul alive that has explored the plains fully. Many have tried, only to disappear into the legend of the plains. Some have vanished for a day or two. To return white skinned and emaciated. Almost as if their very life force has been sapped or drained away. None of these intrepid explorers has even spoken of their time on the plains. In fact they don't speak at all. Sages and scholars have all tried to pry from them what these poor lost men and women have seen, but to no avail.
