The origin of the Gray Plateau.-From the library of the White Mages.

Nazet heard the call, he closed the Unholy Tome and walked to the balcony and saw his four companion necromancers standing at a point on the giant pentagram, the head of the star was for Nazet.  He walked down to the pentacle and took his place and started the incantation.  The Sunrise Plateau was a lush plateau before the Five Great Necromancers turned it into what it is now, it used to be common ground for all races. The Necromancers, Nazet, Elmed, Evtr, Surk, and Jasha, had, for years, been gathering corpses and bones, warstitched (sown together bodies of warriors), whits, , ghasts, ghouls, vampires, shades, and lesser necromancers and liches, in the making of an undead nation.  They had hired mercenaries and used evil sorcery against Sunrise Plateau, to wither it, to kill anyone living there, finally, it was ready for rising their undead legions.  Once the incantation was done, all the corpses and bones came to life and the other undead were summoned to the Plateau, now the Necrotic Plateau.  The Necromancers taught the legions how to build, fight, smith,  and plan, and their legions built a city, Bane, and made a shrine for each Necromancer.  The Necromancers sealed the power that kept the undead animated in an object and put it in a chest, then put it in the vaults of Bane   Years later, Jasha and Elmed were both killed by witch hunters, Evtr committed suicide because of depression, Surk was killed in a spell duel, and Nazet, had turned himself into a lich, locked himself in his tower, never to be seen again.
