Death is a cosmic force that holds sway over every living thing in the Great Dark Beyond. Acting as a counterbalance to life, it is an unavoidable force that breeds despair in mortal hearts and pushes everything towards a state of entropic decay and eventual oblivion. It manifests in the form of necromantic magic and is represented by the Shadowlands, the realm of the dead.

• Obvious Judas: Denathrius is introduced dictating a letter about how everyone needs to tighten their belts to get through a famine... while he lives in luxury and a civilian who gives their rations to beggars instead of the leaders coffers is shown being executed. He's also a vampiric being with horns who dresses mostly in red.
