The Creeping Death

The land of Mourning Pyre is ruled by the Creeping Death, a sentient spell given life by a magical catastrophe. It can see through the eyes of its animated dead, growing in intelligence and power with every body it controls.

Background

Created by the Day of Mourning, it was once a simple living spell of animate dead used inorder to hold off an attacking army from the land. As it raised corpses into zombies, it gained some of their sentience, becoming a thinking being. Those involved in the Day of Mourning had thought to use this powerful version of "Animate Dead" in order to even the three to one odds of the invading army not realizing it was gaining sentience. As it grew in intelligence it grew with the urge to gather more intelligence. Greedily, it sought out more dead, raising abominations and spreading across the region. It held the attacking army at bay, but it was too late by the time the original casters realized that the spell was now beyond their control. The Dark Powers took notice and drew the Creeping Death into the Mists along with the land into the Mists.

It is unknown just what they used in order to produce a more powerful spell. It's rumored that there is technology to enhance spellcasting spread across the land, and it is the source of the Creeping Death and perhaps even a way to beat it.
