Corpser

From BelegarthWiki

During the Great Undead War there was a tear within the conduits between the multi-plannar realms. In some cases, Void magicks were enhanced by the powers of planes that included Anomyyl (Abysm) and Illith (The unknown) to assist raising the dead. The undead that were cerated using the powers from these sources were unlike anything seen before and have not been seen since. It is written that mounds of the dead from the previous mortal wars were the first places where these beings were seen being created. The manner of these undead types were extreme and would often not be easily commanded by their creators. It is rumored that the existence of Corpsers are what caused the Undead War to begin. For the nature of these beings were partly influenced through Abysmal and Illithic energies and could not easily be controlled through traditional methods. The Ba'ale'Kryn would turn on their own ranks and evolved quickly into higher powerful and forms that with a quickened form of sentience would take charge of the more common versions of undeath and plot them against whom they wished.

The scourge of this new type of undead and their Ascended forms caused the Hobben race to cease their focus on material dominances on the planet. This shift in Hobben focus is what started the Great Undead War and what ultimately eradicated the Corpser strain. However, the war with the undead significantly weakened Hobben numbers by the end of the era but their efforts to overcome the magicks from multiple planes made them the keepers of Necromyc magicks and the experts on undeath power. Hobs to this day call their weapons "Korpsers" as an echo to this part of their deep history. Much is unknown about the original Corpsers, but based on what we know of Dakar'keth'ull'kymn'hep'dthom'nyn'keth'kor it's likely their designated names were likley the undead real which their legion reigned and an operating number among their ranks in order to identify themselves.

There are no longer Corpsers that are still among the wide regions of this world. None that are still animated......... not yet that is.
