Dead realm wiki free#
Though the Seven Reapers and their mortal allies did eventually manage to re-imprison Dhuum after weakening and imprisoning his minions with the assistance of Mad King Thorn's subjects, the new bindings were inefficient and the former God of Death managed to break free repeatedly from his imprisonment as he drew strength from the deaths of his minions and other spirits in the Underworld. During this conflict, Dhuum regained strength through any death in the Underworld, and eventually broke free of his chains. However, some arrived to plunder the Underworld's riches instead. To aid in the battle, mortal adventurers were allowed access to the Underworld to assist Grenth's forces. ĭhuum's army eventually ensnared the Seven Reapers and caused chaos in the Underworld, sending souls to torturous places like the Realm of Torment. Once Thorn was made aware of these recent developments, he ordered his steward to send emissaries to the Seven Reapers to learn more information about the coming of Dhuum and to ask the Reapers to rendezvous with King Frozenwind to assess the severity of the threat. Upon learning Frozenwind's dire news that Dhuum was stirring and trying to break free of his prison, the steward delivered the grim news to Thorn who was none too pleased about the outcome as Dhuum potentially usurping the throne of the Underworld would change the fundamental rules of life, death, and undeath. To set the Mad King's mind at ease, his steward tasked able mortal adventurers to contact King Frozenwind, one of Grenth's allies, to ascertain what was happening. Thorn detected ominous changes in the Underworld and believed some ancient power to be at work. The Underworld was attacked by Dhuum's army of dryders, ghosts, and skeletons circa 1072 AE. Using his sorcery, Thorn eventually conquered this region and its denizens and began ruling it, and his dominion became known as the Mad Realm. Some time after Mad King Thorn's death circa 825 AE, his soul ended in a specific chaotic sub-section of the Underworld. Grenth also created Soul Binders to keep judged souls from escaping the Underworld. At some point Grenth appointed the Judge to watch over the Domain of the Lost, where spirits that had experienced a sudden and traumatic death ended into, and guide these spirits to find their name and purpose before sending them to their appointed afterlives. Under Grenth's guidance, resurrections were allowed, and human spirits were judged and moved on to their final resting place within the Underworld or in the other god realms such as the Fissure of Woe and Melandru's Lost Domain. To reward his mortal companions for their assistance, he elevated them as the Seven Reapers, his immortal avatars, to govern the regions of the Underworld-the Bone Pits, Chaos Planes, Forgotten Vale, Ice Wastes, the Labyrinth, Spawning Pools, and Twin Serpent Mountains-in his name. Upon his victory, Grenth took Dhuum's divinity and ascended to become the new God of Death.
Grenth was not powerful enough to slay Dhuum, however, so he imprisoned the Emperor of Oblivion behind layers of divine magic in the Hall of Judgment and forced him into a state of dormancy. Grenth shattered the overthrown god's tower and left the storms of chaos on the Chaos Planes as a reminder of Dhuum's unjust rule. However, Grenth, the half-god son of the goddess Dwayna, and his seven companions rose to challenge Dhuum and successfully defeated him after a fierce battle in the ossuary of the Cathedral of Eternal Radiance in Orr. Dhuum was cruel and unjust as he devoured human spirits and refused to allow resurrections, and he became known as the Final Death and Emperor of Oblivion. Raven, a Spirit of the Wild, also had a deep connection to the Underworld as he guided norn spirits to the norn afterlife. Dhuum, the God of Death, ruled the Underworld from his throne in a tower that once stood on the Chaos Planes. The Underworld is a vast realm in the Mists where spirits of the dead depart to. The Hall of Judgment which serves as Dhuum's prison.
