The Damned Men

- When Dorian Invictia was king of Ferillian, and Supreme Chancellor of Kinsia, he led the Kinsians defence on the attacks from the Kholgeran orcs.

- When in dire need of reinforcements, the people's of Truce, a city in southern Ferillian, broke their oath and did not arrive, causing the orcs a massive victory and slaying King Dorian. Truce is a seaside town infamous for it's unlawful seafaring activities, and the men there were known pirates.

- In his dying breath, King Dorian cursed the men of Truce for breaking their oaths. The men of Truce were driven out of the country, and they fled to Mount Altum.

- The men of Truce did not die, however, but turned into wraiths upon death, unable to leave the material plane. The only way they can truly die, is by fullfilling their oath to the Dorian lineage. Anything else that kills these wraiths causes them to be transported to the shadow plane for 1d10 days, after which the curse re-materializes them on to their last position on the material plane.

- Being wraiths unwelcome into human society and unable to be killed, the Damned Men, as they are called, looked for meaning in their existence, and found an out by serving a powerful crossroads demon called Urugijith. Urugijith is one of the only entities in Farover of casting the Wish spell, but only as the outcome of a fulfilled, mutually and consensually agreed upon contract. Urugijith is an evil demon interested in souls, and he promised to release the Damned Men from their eternal suffering after 100 years of service, if they give up their souls to him.

- Urugijith employs these Damned Men to serve on his magical flying ship which he stole from the Conclaves posession hundreds of years ago. The airship was created by a powerful transmuter called Archmage Celias, who gave his life along with three other wizards to cast the spells upon the ship. Urugijith flies around Farover with his wraiths and his lesser crossroads demons creating contracts, collecting debts, and harvesting souls. The Dutchman, as the ship is called, is capable of phase shifting slightly to the ethereal plane, appearing ghost-like.

- The Damned Men made their home during life in the highest peaks of the Altum mountains, and their possessions from their lifetimes still reside there. Urugijith made this mountains peak cave his base of operations on the material plane as well.
