Deep within the frozen glacier of the northlands. Hundreds of miles from the Northern border. A desolate place where nothing grows and nothing lives. Except for the occasional Ancient White Dragon.
In this frozen waste land lies the Necropolis. Once a glorious city of over 50,000 protected from the ice and cold by powerful magical spires that warmed the city and the surrounding area. The city was called Gracis. The city enjoyed centuries of peace and prosperity cut off from the rest of the world, the power of the magic they possessed rivaled that even of the Elves.
Then the dark war came, Starspawn assaulted the city, all though the mages managed to expel the invaders the damage had already been done. The precious spires had been destroyed during the battle.
The wizards managed to evacuate a few thousand citizens before there magical was blocked, with out the ability to teleport or plane shift the remainder of the city's population was consumed by the frozen wastes.
A conclave of 3 Lichs once great mages of Gracis who had been exiled centuries before had took the opportunity for revenge. They waited until the Starspawn were nearly defeated then struck at the spires. It was they who stopped the city's mages from evacuating the city.
With there necromantic magic they raised many of the cities people as undead, Now the city is filled with Frost Walkers, Wraiths, Alpths and other undead. After a thousand years only one of the original three Lich’s survives. One was destroyed in the year 600 years ago by a contingent of elves led by the same Elven Monk who battled against Cthulhu himself. The second was destroyed 300 years ago by an adventuring group led by the Paladin, Christof who would later become Kalar’s Chosen.
