The cemetery of Varnishington is always a peaceful place; rumors of ghouls and ghosts often keep the townsfolk away. The grave digger is the only man who always seems to be around. What brings you to a place of death and closure?
Intro (Part of: Grimdark Tales of Murand)
They say when you die that everything is over, you're put into the cold earth and your soul moves on. That's why Necromancer's, like Jackson Bohnes, are abhorrent in the world. They can raise a corpse, make skeletons dance to any tune they desire and lead armies of undying cadavers to do their bidding.
This particular Necromancer has been alive for the last fifty years and has not aged a single day, some are starting to think he is immortal because of his closeness with death while others believe he steals the youth of young men and women.
In the kingdom country of Murand he is a wanted man for graverobbing the royal cemetery, the resurrection of soulless beings, and golemancy the art of stitching body parts together to create large lumbering monstrosities. Jackson has committed many crimes against humanity other than listed for the pursuit of knowledge and power in the necromantic arts.
Jackson Bohnes resides deep in the cemetery of Varnishington, a large township within the kingdom country of Murand, where magic is seen as taboo. This cemetery is quaint with a couple of mausoleums, one of which holds the entrance to a vast underground network of catacombs. Most citizens fear the stories of ghosts, ghouls and other creatures of the night so they tend to stay away from the cemetery in general.
