Established | 18 Temporal 377 LE |
In 375 LE, the ghost ship Halatrax was plundered by relic seekers under Captain Rarnskeggi. The most valuable find were the Scrolls of Maen. Sold to a group of outcast necromancers, the Scroll of Maen led to a path of necromancy named Maen Saetild. Those that really took the writings to heart, willing to cross-over, became known as the Khaa'khas.
Those that delve deep into the workings of shadow energy, giving up part or all of themselves become shades and shadow giants, those of death, giving up life energy for negative energy, become the death giants of Khaa'khas.
In the reign of Saer Erkjorg (1592 LE - 1535 HE), members of the Khaa'khas served on the general staff and in other well-connected roles.
