Varda Balahad

A Necryte slain over two centuries ago by Melchial Asheri.

History
Varda Balahan's name is now a memory found in heroic poems, but it was he who waged the war that culminated at the Ravenora Plateau, the very war that lead to the creation of the Palladia Alliance and to the fall of the kingdom of Nebezial Asheri. He was slain over two centuries ago by Melchial Asheri, the brother to the king.

Historians differ in their opinions as to what the purpose behind Varda's war was, but they do agree on one thing: Varda wished to release the sinner Delphi Bellarya. His purpose for doing so was unknown, but it is known that a mere three years after Varda's death this goal was achieved by none other than Nebezial Asheri.

Since Varda's death no Necryte of such power has ever emerged...unless one believes the rumors that the Reaper of Ardunat is Varda returned.

Varda was feared for good reason. Like all Necrytes, Varda could preform the unholy act of binding dead souls to living bodies, forcing upon them a pact with him that turned them into the perfect soldiers: no fear, no hesitation, and absolute loyalty. However, Varda took this a step further, destroying his enemies with the meticulously organized kidnappings of the families of high ranking military personnel. He placed these dead souls on the frontline of his armies
