Crypt of the Violator. The Vothan Guard, #2

YOU CAN'T KEEP A GOOD TYRANT DOWN... OR DEAD... It is said Thyss-Mallak ruled Xyxia longer than any ten men could have lived. Seers still speak of an empire of hideous beauty, built and sustained at unholy cost. But the horrid truth of it all has long been lost, buried under endless wastes and a thousand generations of history. Until now. War comes to the sad remnants of once-fearsome Xyxia, propelled by an Emperor's religious zeal and his nobles' thirst for plunder.
They'll make a battleground of ruins that should have been left undisturbed. The blood shed amongst toppled obelisks and crumbling pyramids will awaken that which should never have tasted the sweet nectar of souls again. And the Dead will Reign once more.
