User:ClayHuang158/Necrius lore

is a corrupted mage from the Shadow Isles who fights both his enemies and himself. Determined not to surrender to the darkness growing within him but losing his grip on the path he was taking, he chooses to both fight and protect his allies, for that is the best and only thing he can do.

Before the Blessed Isles became the Shadow Isles, Necrius was a part of a group of mages who called themselves restorers. They worked to maintain life on the Blessed Isles, ensuring that spirits were not detached from the mortal dimension, reviving animals and plants who had perished, and also curing life from strange diseases that appeared from the cursed outside. In short, they could, in a way, cheat death for the better.

All this, of course, changed when the Ruined King unleashed the curse.

Life perished. Plague, death, and despair reigned. Anything that wasn't killed was corrupted, and the restorers were no exception. Their close connection allowed them to last longer, but, even then, one by one, they succumbed to the growing infection. Necrius was one of the last survivors. He watched as the people he had worked with so long to escape death became one with death. Finally, the corruption moved to him. Necrius could feel the life ebbing from him, turning him into a shell of what he once was.
