Overview

  • Mournholde, the City of the Dead, has become a bastion for those who would prefer to live in death than to face the uncertainties of the afterlife.
    • It is not uncommon for an elderly or sick person to attempt the journey to Mournholde, before their time is up.
    • For those who cannot afford to journey to the city, the Necronaut of Mournholde lottery system takes 50 willing souls to Mournholde to become undead eternals.
  • The city was founded by the adventurer Galgitch, who is now known as “The Afterking”. Mournholde was built atop the ruined necropolis of a lich he and his adventuring party vanquished.
  • Nothing that dies on Ghoulfen Island stays dead. Some say attribute this to the nearby Ghoulfen River being a phantom tributary of the River Styx.
