Enerik Rockspur

Enerik Rockspur was a male gnome cleric and an NPC in the Emeron campaign.

Enerik Rockspur was the chaplain for the estate of Typmit in service to Lady Luce Carim. After the Joined of Vesper were arrested Lady Luce gave him the Charnalite Ring to investigate. He left Typmit with it just before the Massacre at Hampstead Hall and has not been seen since.

## History

Brother Enerik Rockspur was the chaplain for the estate of Typmit. Though it was unusual for a gnome to worship the human god of Akana, he nonetheless was quite devout and worked hard to work his way up through the church. He often would say that he came to Akana late in life, having spent most of his years not being particularly religious.

In 1159 Lady Luce Carim asked him to examine a magical item found on the Joined of Vesper when they were arrested. A short time later he was hastily summoned to Hampstead Hall to cure Zenga, who had been poisoned in an assassination attempt on the Joined and was near death. Fortunately he was able to reach her in time.

He continued to investigate the ring given to him and learned that the item was none other than the Charnalite Ring. Knowing that unearthing an item of such power would bring him a great amount of prestige in the church, he hired a teamster named Malrick to drive him to Emeron City, departing just before or during the Massacre at Hampstead Hall.

### Under control of the Charnalite Ring

While on the road the *Charnalite Ring* was able to make mental contact with Malrick, the driver of Brother Enerik’s hired wagon. Under the ring’s influence Malrick donned the ring, allowing it to take full control of his body. The ring, aware that Enerik was a more powerful, if less physically fit, target controlled Malrick to ambush the gnome while he slept and place the ring on his finger. Enerik, now directly controlled by the ring, turned Malrick into a zombie.

Slowly, but surely, the ring used Enerik to create a plague of undead in the estate of Mimidet. When the horde grew large enough, Sir Connell Sullivan was sent to investigate. His men engaged the horde of zombies but Enerik, still controlled by the ring, was able to use his magic to paralyze Sir Connell. The Ring then commanded Enerik to place the ring on Sir Connell, as he was both more fit and a more powerful spellcaster.

Now controlling Sir Connell, the ring turned Enerik into a powerful spectral undead and forced the gnome to serve him.

### As an Undead

The undead Brother Enerik served as chief lieutenant to the controlled Sir Connell and the two continued to grow the horde and eventually made a successful attack on Stanhope Hall, successfully turning Lord Enil Duggin IV and his entire family into powerful undead to serve him. With Mimidet overwhelmed by undead, the ring then moved north to attack the estate of Typmit.

On the 16th of Wolverine, Enerik and the Duggin family accompanied the controlled Sir Connell in the attack on Typmit, which was held by Lord Walter Obert at the time. The undead quickly swept through the town, transforming or killing any citizen whom they made contact with and in short order the horde was at the walls of Norris Keep. Lord Walter rallied his forces within the keep to try to fend off the undead. Enerik led an attack into the keep itself, his spectral form allowing him to simply float through the walls and begin casting spells and devastating the common soldiers with fear effects and his magic before being slowed somewhat by the lizardman cleric Grazzk.

During the battle, however, the Joined of Vesper arrived in Typmit, seeking to stop Sir Connell and, if possible, also bring Lord Walter to justice. During the fighting Sir Connell and the Duggin Family quickly fell to the heroes. Enerik was able to force Grazzk back into the manor house, but by the the heroes fell upon Enerik, with Zenga blasting him repeatedly with magical fireballs, weakening him enough to allow Edella Montfort to slay him with the *Mermaid’s Spear*.

## Personality and Appearance

Brother Enerik was a clever and ambitious gnome, looking to advance in the ranks of the church hierarchy. He had several friends and connections throughout the church but has made some enemies within the hierarchy as well, hence his assignment to the small village of Typmit for a minor lord like Lady Luce. Still, Enerik viewed this as a temporary setback.

Brother Enerik had graying black hair and blue eyes and while he was of average height for a gnome he is hugely obese, limiting his physical capabilities somewhat.
