Phanêthil Division

The Phanêthil Division is comprised of those Melephaeusans that fell to the necromantic arts of Caliguworm. By 1029, Caliguworm had reduced the populace of his kingdom to only the undead. They wandered the isles of Necrocrypt for several years, slowly brought in by Caliguworm and his more intelligent undead minions. They were corralled or brought in by cages, then taken for storage in the ancient crypts of Phanêthil.

In 1470, having proved successful in the Black Tide War, the Dead Council were told of Phanêthil's more secret crypts. A week later, this Phanêthil Division, 18,000 skeletons, zombies, ghouls, and other undead, began their voyage north to the join the Black Tide armies pushing north into Hells Womb.

Unlike many other units destroyed in the Artery War (1546 - 1554), the Phanêthil Division survived; they were renown for extracting themselves from battles that were turning on them. As the Black Tide collapsed, they pulled back to Ugidreth where they boarded Admiral Jairall's death ships, the Armada of the Damned, taken to their crypt barracks beneath Phanêthil.
