| The Unliving |

| The Unliving: Zombies, Skeletons, Death Knights etc. What's so bad about them? Is it the way their flesh falls away as they walk? The numerous diseases they carry? Their choice of diet, (fresh brains with a nice side salad never sounds too appetizing, least of all when it's your brain on the menu) or something else? Could it be the fact that they can be mindless, instruments of death, devoid of fear or sense of self preservation, puppets for evil necromancers and sentient Death Lords? Or worst of all, the fact that it could be your loved ones, your friends and family that drag themselves from the cold earth to stalk you through the woods or face you on the battlefield? All of these reasons and more have led Clan McOnyx in an ever increasing spiral of hatred against the Unliving - It began with numerous attacks from Unliving even before the clan was formed. Then ambushed and taken prisoner, snatched away from their homes by things that should not be. Chained, half starved and beaten on board the Ship of the Dead, the Unliving servants of a necromancer fueling the prisoners loathing. Finally freed from the ship, the clan discover that their new home, this island, so beautiful in many ways has been infected with the taint of unlife. Captors from the ship, even some of the prisoners that drowned in the storm have been glimpsed walking through the woods at night. Their first Gathering of Nations as a clan and their nemesis gathered also. A group of clannies strolled through the market place when a group of Unliving started to attack. Only by their skill and determination were none of the clannies hurt. When the Healers Guild called for assistance to free their homelands from a Liche and his Unliving army, Clan McOnyx were eager to respond. Although the clan fought well, one of their own was killed and raised to fight against them. Three other Bears, as well as members of other factions fell to the Liches Unliving horde. The flame of hatred burns within the clan, the Unliving seem almost like a curse that follows them. A parasite imbedded in their skin. Vermin that nests in their home. What evil they will do next, who can tell? |
