The Legions of the Dead
The undead army of the necromancer, which grew with every soldier it slew during the war of the dead.
- Between the Ages
Description
The legions of the dead were the necromancer's army: undead held in thrall to the will of one dark mage. Force of arms could not defeat them, for every warrior, mage and assassin who fell to them was turned and rose again in their ranks.
Historical context
They waged the war of the dead against Meliora, and even the honoured dead in the catacombs of Twilight Peak were feared as future recruits. Abigail's ritual, the Gloaming, helped bring the war to an end.
