Darren Rocus

Though his origin is obscure, he became a leader of a Belman death cult dedicated Nergal around 620. Even though the Belmans appeared successful under the competent leadership of Reykiard, Darren managed to convince quite many of the Belmans that they would find their glory in death, not life. When Reykiard died assaulting what would later be known as Kangrisorn, this only confirmed their beliefs. Reykiard had sworn that if he lost, the Belmans would leave Penboyn. And so they did, even if they were still superior in numbers on a level battlefield. However, with Reykiard dead, Darren twisted the meaning of “leaving”, so that the Belmans carried their dead with them, but not to be buried at sea, instead the followers loyal to Darren built barrow-mounds in area southeast of Suada, creating one leg in the Haunted Triangle . Though he is believed to have been a powerful necromancer, he failed to build a solid power base among the essentially Viking Belmans. He tried to recruit outsiders, but only gained rivals. And it is thought that one of these rivals killed him.
