Map of the principality of Masserschloss in the Border Princes; Bragthorn the Necromancer's Bone Tower can be found in the centre.
Bragthorn the Necromancer is a malevolent and wretched necromancer who, between 2471 and 2521 IC, inaugurated a terrible reign of terror in the Masserschloss region of the Border Princes after the region's Era of Strife.[1a]
History[]
Fleeing from the witch hunters, Bragthorn vanished into the chaos of the Border Princes where he could continue his exploration and study of Dark Magic without interference. He constructed a tower built from Human bones and waged a war of terror on the other principalities of the region. He dispatched countless shuffling zombies and clattering skeletons to kill, maim, and loot the villages. For decades, Bragthorn held the land captive, each year ordering more appalling acts of violence. And then suddenly, the attacks stopped. The necromancer's tower stood silent. And the Undead vanished from the land.[1a]
With the necromancer seemingly destroyed, a deed falsely claimed by Prince Dieter von Masserschloss, the region faces a new period. The peasants have worked to rebuild their homes, and there is a sense of hope in their hearts. Still, the Greenskins are active again, and each season, they raid from the desert or the swamps to butcher the Humans and take their hard-earned food and cattle. Politically, Masserschloss is the dominant principality in the Border Princes for now, but two relatively new princes have forged new lands of their own. Allied against the elder and larger princedom, it seems conflict looms on the horizon in the Border Princes once more.[1a]
