Ozarius

The First Lich

There are many stories told around the campfires of Adurra, of how Ozarius came to be. Some say Ozarius challenged Idall to a game of wits, his soul placed as a wager against immortality. Though Ozarius won through trickery and deceit Idall granted him his bet, but with untold consequences. Other's tell the story of an evil man who's soul was so corrupt he was cast out of the underworld: too wretched for even eternal servitude. Regardless of the founding myth everyone agrees Ozarius was the most evil mortal to walk on Adurra. Ambitious beyond comprehension Ozarius sought to become a God himself. Plumbing the forbidden depths of the Ourellian Prophecies Ozarius learned of the shards of Pan'll, the Godblade, and their tremendous power to make and unmake. Though hounded by the servants of the gods Ozarius tracked down one of the surviving shards, embedded within the face of the Sacred Mountain: Uruk. Here Ozarius ascended from mere mage to living God.

In Ozarius' ascension to Godhood he birthed the sacrilege of Undeath. Stealing away souls intended for the Halls of Idall Ozarius kept them for himself, corrupted, and enslaved within decaying bodies. The power to enslave the souls of the dead emanates from the Ozarius' twilight kingdom atop the corrupted Temple Mount of Uruk. Here, Ozarius still stands vigil as God King of an undead nation. Many crusades by the followers of Idall have set out to free the Sacred Mountain from Ozarius' control, but all have ended in tragedy.
