Deathmage
According to legend, the Deathmage is an ancient lich who is said to have armies of skeletal minions at his beck. Fabricated bardic stories are rife with heroes whose main test of mettle was to face the Deathmage, who was trying to destroy all life because of Evil Reasons. He is largely accepted to be nothing but myth.

Personal history
The first mentions of the Deathmage were in 301 BEC, by Lumina diplomats traveling through the remote parts of the Silent Mountains. They relate tales of a tall cloaked figure on a skeletal horse, but they had no direct interaction with the figure, and this sighting was never confirmed.
Nonetheless, there were multiple sightings of the dead walking over the next few centuries, some claiming the cloaked figure was present and others not.
