Seregon

The White Necromancer, The White Menace, The Junk Burner, The Halfling Slaver, The Serial Killer, The Shepherd

Birth
Seregon was a Svartalfar born in the city of Kovaydanay on Vonasel Rock, also known as Ice Island. His mother died in childbirth, which resulted in his father blaming him for most of his young life.

Adolescence
In his young life, hoping to make amends to his father, he took up a job at the city cathedral to study the healing arts. During this, he begins to form a grim view about how life and death are intertwined. One day, he catches the head priest performing dark necromancy and resurrecting the dead as servants. The "priest" notices, shrieks, and reveals himself to be a wight. The wight nearly siphons Seregon's soul but with a stab to the heart and a burst of holy energy he destroys the wight, but the body of the priest falls as the wight dissipates and the undead instantly decompose. Wanted for murder, he slips out of town and heads to Black Sands Port. On his way he notes that the Dark Plains, lands known to be inhabited by Necromancers, had far extended beyond their original borders. He sees a group of warriors clad in white robes leading a charge across the plains to the Sea of the Dead, consecrating the area around them as they went. Seregon fell into their ranks and they instantly could see that he was cursed from his earlier fight with the Wight. They welcomed him into their group of warrior-priests. They fought all the way to the Sea of the Dead, and crossed in summoned boats to Firathe Fortress, the domain of a Lich. They rammed in the door to The Keep of the Damned and confronted the Lich that had been spreading its influence. In the battle, many of the warriors in white fell, the Lich resurrected the corpses to fight against their old comrades. Seregon began to bless the corpses with the symbol he had chosen in his youth, a sun encircled by a crescent moon. Eventually the Lich was brought down, as the spirit dissolved into the air, a body fell. The body Seregon did not recognize, but he didn't have to, he knew it was that of his mother.

Goeke Archipalago
Emotionally scarred and wanting absolutely nothing to do with Vonasel Rock, he finishes his journey to Black Sands Port and boards a trading vessel, headed north to whatever lands would take him. On the ship one of the crew comes down with a deadly fever, and he is forced to decide whether to continue his old ways, or leave his prior life behind. He heals the sailor and decides he is going to be the Shepherd of Souls, the master of life and death. He defies Orcus, God of Death, the ultimate necromancer. He commits his soul to Azamai, the God of balance. From life, comes death, and from death, comes life.
