Champions of Dorvach

'The Champions of Dorvach" were an adventuring band of exceptional skill and prowess who were considered legends in their lifetimes due to their success in vanquishing The Dead King in 50,008 BU.

According to what little scraps on information still exist, 'The Dead King' was believed to be a powerful avatar of darkness who had control and dominion over the dead, able to make them rise and work to his will. With the unstoppable armies of The Dead King on the march, The Ashur races bound together to save the world from annihilation, sending a chosen champion from each of the five races on a desperate gambit to retrieve a mystical artifact called "The Stone Of Life" which had the capability to neutralise the dark matter that created and sustained undead in a short radius.

As huge armies of Landris and Draconians stand shoulder to shoulder for the first (and last) time in recorded history and defend central Orlia, honourable Dwarven warriors launch a suicidal attack against the headquarters of The Dead King (then unnamed but later referred to as "The Bone Citadel") in Dorvach as the five are able to infiltrate the citadel from beneath using the defunct sewer system.

Confronting the Dead King and catching unawares, the five manage to use The Stone of Life to neutralise his powers and cut him down, severing his control over the undead hordes who become simple corpses once more. Though the Ashur suffer massive casualties, the world is saved and the five are forver known as 'The Champions of Dorvach".
