History

When the Dark Elders were violently sent into the nine directions during the destruction of the ancient Temple Thuul, each took three manifestations of the void from their tombs within the walls of the Temple with them.

The first of these manifestations were their connection to the negative planes and the whispered voice of Hod, God of the Undead in their ears. For they had forsaken the first deity and had given themselves to the domains of eternal existences and to the void and to the endless hunger growing within them.

The second manifestation that escaped with them into the far and shadowed reaches was the secrets contained in their dark arts. For they were the first to write what would become known as the Abhorrent Wisdoms and the first to make tradition from these great hidden works.

The third and last manifestation that all of the Dark Elders held was the Ochreom'necrom. A single drop was the inheritance of each of them and it was as alive within them as much as they were dead they had long left within the living worlds. This material is the heavy heart of darkness itself. Each Dark Elder holds a single drop of the ochre in their wicked hearts. And that drop is the deepest and most vile of oceans within them. Their hearts are filled with those vilest oceans and it aches with terrors yet undone even as they wither and continue rotting away.

And they were the mortals to call forth the first energies ever to be pulled out of the Deep Void. These Necrom magicks remained hidden within the Dark Elders as they traveled the planet in the nine seperate directions. Each of them searching for a unique source among the various living and elemental regions of the world. There they would dig beneath the surface to feed on the life forces above them. And it was there for many centuries that they would wait and gather their strength.

It was when the Void within them found its ill repose that the greater void called out for them. And it was those of us that answered that call that would become the creatures known first as "Dthoum'mekkah" and through the many centuries since that time there have been many name given to us. The most recent of these being Deathrisen.
