TypeUndead, necromancy lore

Taln'nazân Monarch is an undead lord created with some of the darkest rites of necromancy. It is a very dangerous undertaking since the undead created is self-willed, often unpredictable, and utterly evil. Taln'nazân Monarchs are foul creatures that act as leaders of undead. They are highly intelligent and possess terrible powers. A King of Taln'nazân can be a Wight-King, Ghost-King, Wraith-King or any other higher form of undead. There are also female counterparts to the Kings, named in a similar fashion Wight-Queen, Ghost-Queen, etc.

In 1019 the first of these undead were made by the lich Caliguworm. In an area beneath Phanêthil called Taln'nazân, Caliguworm read from the Last Chapter. Using the Melephaeusan prince Glóragar as a subject, he created a Taln'nazân Wraith-King. The creature was ruthless, cunning and nearly killed Caliguworm with his plots and schemes. In the end Caliguworm had to put his test subject down.

In 1465 a few worshipers of Thasmudyan were given the Taln'nazân rites. With the help of Katrana Dumu-loc and the rites of the Last Chapter, Jairall was made a Taln'nazân Wight-King in the same year.

Unlike Thasmudyan, Rioch Tetrax creates a Taln'nazân Monarch by infusing a very powerful undead with a blessing. Those killed by this undead, and if their damned soul can contain the negative energy, rise as an undead lord. In 1531, Ogre Lord Morbakh became a Taln'nazân Famine Spirit-King in this manner.
