Korynoth

## Biography

Korynoth was once an apprentice of some of the darker forms of magics. He saught to learn more about necromancy, but given that necromancy is outlawed in most places, this of course made the studying and practice difficult. Having moved to Kharis, Korynoth was more easily exposed to others practicing the darker form of magic.

Kornyoth had heard whispers of thugs, cutthroats, and murderers hiding bodies up in Mortilvo Forest, and given that bodies were hard to come by, Korynoth knew where he'd try to start sourcing. He sourced information about Mortilvo Forest to learn more about it's dark and twisted trees and try to uncover more about bodies being discarded there. The more he learned, the more mysterious he found that the bodies in the forest seemed to vanish. This of course would make his plans more difficult as he'd be unable to get them for himself.

In passing, Korynoth had brought up the topic of the forest to one of the newer faces at the coven in Kharis. The woman seemed to know a great deal about Mortilvo Forest and while Korynoth didn't press on why he was interested, she revealed more and more information. In fact, she told Korynoth that there was an artifact known as Necrolight that would certainly assist with showing trails of where the corpses had been. This way, Korynoth would be able to at least track down the bodies and benefit from them for himself. To his surprise, she acknolwedged the abundance of corpses but did not seem interested in the slightest in taking advantage of this opportunity for herself. In fact, she was eager to share this knowledge with Korynoth.

[FIXME: elaborate on how Korynoth gets Necrolight]

[FIXME: elaborate on how Korynoth uses Necrolight]

[FIXME: elaborate on the curse that Mendacia places on Kornynoth for being able to use Necrolight (Necrolight is not a cursed artifact itself)]

[FIXME: related to above, find a way to link in Viscratus the corpse eating tree here. these two need to co-exist in the forest, so the curse can be related to something like Korynoth can summon all the undead he wants in the forest but if they're not being used he has to go send the undead to the tree or something]

This next part might make more sense on Shalendra's page but documenting here:

* [FIXME: elaborate on how Korynoth encounters Shalendra, finds her beautiful (some sort of impossible love interest here), seeks to help her with her warlock efforts in terms of controlling the dark creatures in Mortilvo]
* [FIXME: elaborate on how Mendacia intervenes yet again but this time with Shalendra]
* [FIXME: Korynoth has to resurrect Shalendra but elaborate on how bringing her back came with some sort of twist that she's now... an undead spider abomination thing]
* [FIXME: elaborate Shalendra's curse]

This next part might make more sense on the Mortilvo Forest page:

* [FIXME: elaborate on the fact that Korynoth is essentially the Necromancer of Mortilvo Forest, forever trapped there, forever seeking corpses of anyone passing through, keeping the forest dark and dead... less focused on the east side where Shalendra hangs out more but essentially the overall forest]
* [FIXME: elaborate on the fact that Shalendra is the undead spider queen that generally hangs out on the east side of Mortilvo and in the caves of the mountains to the east of Mortilvo... also some amount of interaction with the spiders in the rain forest on the other side]
