A few of these missives are spread about varying settlements within Arcas, however not enough to be present in all. Each carries some minor nuances in its writing, as if they were all handwritten.

Hail. I write this as a warning, hopefully I can make up for some of my recent shortcomings and prevent the shedding of innocent blood. In short, phantoms such as gravens and ghosts are out in the wilds, unhindered and uncontrolled. They number a few dozen, roughly. These are not mindless necromantic reanimations, phantoms are capable of thought, of reason, and subsequently, unreason.

 

With the powers vested in me I had tried to keep them in check, however my tutelage was incomplete and the foundation that tended to these undead was destroyed years ago by turncoats. Overtime my phantasma grew restless and rebellious, a number of their own fell in battle when they aided me to repel barbarians from the far north - perhaps that is when they began to question me.

 

Last Saint’s week I had met with an old compatriot of mine. During our exchange we were ambushed by a handful of my phantasma. If not for the aid of my comrade, I would have likely been enslaved and forced to make more phantoms, or outright killed. I returned to my stead to find the rest of them gone.

 

Currently, their goals and motives are unknown. I know they wish for my death, though I am not sure who else they are willing to harm. I am beginning to get a small group together in hopes of putting down these phantoms before they can cause genuine trouble or grief.

No man or woman can truly control the likes of demonkin or undead, many have tried in the past, and many will try in the future. Do not let others convince you otherwise.

 

Keep your gold close,

Burn those with a tainted mind,

GOD preserve.

Erebus would read the missive before replying and signing at the bottom. "I believe these phantasms or spectors would be mysticism based and not necromancy. Though for the uncommon ear of magical  arts I presume it would be difficult to differentiate" - Signed, Erebus Tartarus.

A green garbed man spied the parchment upon an unwashed wall. Wordlessly he shook his head.

[Callistus 988]

“Cursed be they who trod the earth in death, may unrest forever be their torment.” some bleak remnant of a man murmurs within an endless copse of murk and mire, trudging upon the barren depths of an ancient bog; of his mind was a rotten legacy, for he, too, was rotten and marred, drenched verily in the stench of olden warriors lost to the sands of time. Groans of the forgotten echoed ten feet beneath, stirring at his mind like some festering curse.

The toll of judgement tore him apart, it was time the man-child laid to peace a broken legacy of hunters.
