Editing Undead (Kings of War) (section)

==Notable Undead Warlords==
===Lady Ilona===
A female vampire lady. She was featured on the cover of the first edition core rule book. She was a noble woman of one of the Successor Kingdoms known for being capricious, cruel, and vain in life. In undeath these traits got magnified. After becoming a vampire she slaughtered all of her kinsmen so that she had sole claim to the throne. Once solely in power, she had a great silver sword crafted that she wields in battle. Her goal now is the extinction of not only the living, but of every other vampire as well so as to leave her as the sole vampire in the world.

Her special rule is interesting to consider alongside her fluff. Called "The Promise of Love Eternal," it causes all enemy heroes who fight her in combat to suffer a -1 penalty to hit. This would seem to imply she offers vampirism and her love to opponents she faces, only to presumably then renege on the offer once the battle is at an end.

===Mhorgoth the Faceless===
The big bad of first edition, Mhorgoth the Faceless led a massive undead horde against Mantica in his quest to seize the Glade of Ways held by the [[Twilight Kindred]]. His chosen path there however, was a huge pain in the ass. Coming from east of Tragar, he invaded through the [[Free Dwarf Lands]], slaying Thorrick Rockfist at the Battle of Ironhold Bridge before trying to cut through the Golden Horn of [[Basilea]]. He was driven back here, but is said to be plotting a return invasion.

Mhorgoth was originally a human born after the Winter War. Skilled in the magical arts, the [[Northern Kindred]] took him in to teach him the magical arts. He studied in Elvenholme for years, but it was discovered that he had secretly been practicing necromancy. Before he could be captured, he fled south. Hunted down, the elves cast a spell called the "Eternal Flames" upon him, burning the flesh from his bones. This didn't kill him though, prompting him to unleash a spell that killed everything within a mile of him. He vanished from history as this point, only to return two hundred years later in his invasion of the Free Dwarf Lands.

===Mortibras the Necromancer===
The villain of ''Dwarf King's Hold'' released in first edition, this campaign was reworked in ''Dungeon Saga'' as the "Dwarf King's Quest" module. Mortibras originally hailed from the Golden Horn and studied at the Order of the Ardent Light. As he studied, a voice was constantly calling to him. This voice eventually led him to leave Basilea in search of the body of Valandor. This led him to Therennia Adar where he discovered the body lying in repose there was a fake. Instead the body was hidden in Dolgarth, prompting the titular Dwarf King's Quest.

The efforts of the heroes in stopping Mortibras were only partially successful however. They stopped him from recovering Valandor's body, but he had seized the Tome of Valandor, allowing him to free the "voice" he had always heard, now revealed to be the imprisoned Ba'el. The heroes pursued him deeper into the ruins in the "Return of Valandor" quest module, but both he and Ba'el escaped the ruins and laid siege to Basilea in the ''Destiny of Kings'' supplement.
