Fantasy figs - The Risen King (read desc)

Ngl, I completely forgot I had this, and a bunch of others, hence the massive gap between this and the blood teller. So, like last time, let's get into the story:

 

'Be wary, dear traveller, of he who can raise the dead. He goes by many names. King of the Risen, the Black King, The Eternal howling, but most refer to him as the Risen King. Once thought to be a legend, the Risen King travels the land, followed by his legion of the dead, his loyal followers, deadly in battle and with unimaginable strength.

 

It is said that he was once a mortal man, a King of a faraway land centuries ago. He was a fair and noble leader, until he found...the rock. The rock, emanating a mysterious purple glow, caused a change in the King, he became obsessed with escaping death. Though the nature of the rock is unknown, it is said that he carried it around with him for the rest of his days, and when he did inevitably die, he was buried with it.

 

His son succeeded him as ruler, and the country carried on. Until ten years after his death, the royal tomb cracked open, a purple fog flowing from it. Any caught in the fog were killed instantly. But not for long. Within a week, the city was overwhelmed, within a month the land itself. A message was soon sent to the then King of our country, a dire warning:

 

'All within this land are claimed by the Risen King'

 

No cry for help, just a simple statement. It is not known who sent that message, if they were living or...dead. With that, the decision was taken to scorch the Risen Kings kingdom, burning the Legions of the dead away, until the land was left barren, inhospitable to life, as well as the dead.

 

But he survived. Washed up on the shore of our lands, Seen by no one, he disappeared, roaming the land, claiming the dead of our country as his legion. His Army. Be wary traveller, of the Risen King and his legion of lost souls.'

 

And that's the story of the Risen King, told as a ghost story, but treated as fact. As always, please lemme know what you think :D
