I've got this idea for a necromancer from the drathan union. He's currently in the Drathan Delta, but I can move him wherever the story has room for him. It would make a lot of sense for him to set out to seek the knowledge of the Mountain Wisdoms, though they're all the way across the map.

The Deathwaker CS [+]

Braize Kuzari the Deathwaker

Description:
Braize is an average looking human from the Ashlands, but from his perfectly coifed hair and well kempt robes, one can easily observe his class and poise. The son of an upper middle class book trader in Drathan Empire, Braize always had a hunger for knowledge, tearing through any book that came into his father’s possession before it was sold. It was one of these such books – Waking from the Endless Sleep: The Basics of Necromastery – that set his life goal. Though he never had the greatest affinity for magic, his hours of study and single-minded obsession with perfecting his craft have helped to shape him into one of the more powerful necromancers around.

Race:
Human (Vryonese)

Faction:
(Loosely) Drathan Union

Location:
Various small towns around the Drathan Delta

Synopsis of Role:
Braize wants to be a leader, and thanks to his magic, he has the tools to build the army of devoted followers he needs to continue his quest for knowledge and power.

I'm good with the general concept. Accepted, but I would suggest some edits:

1) an army of the undead would not fit with the magic guidelines set out for the OP. Just keep the magic aesthetics laid out there in mind on this one.

2) that he's not a Drathan but in Drathan territory and a magical prodigy is fine, but would likely come to the attention of the wizard-lords, many of whom are accomplished necromancers. Some perhaps are even liches. They are mildly prejudiced against magic users not of Drathan ancestry, but would likely accept him if he was talented regardless. Perhaps he'd be a protege or an apprentice to one of the Dratha- wouldn't necessarily need to be the ruler of a city state, just a powerful necro-mage? That, or his rejection by the Dratha for not being of the bloodlines would be an element in his story. Just something to keep in mind.

Sounds great to me. I wasn't trying to make him super overpowered or anything. My idea was more for a small band (1-5) minions around and during battle he might conjure up a handful to a score more temporarily. Would this be an alright approach?

I really like this. He could have possibly been noticed for his skill and brought up as an apprentice to a lich (drathan in life). The lich would have more than likely brought in a few more apprentices that were Drathan and obviously favored them, giving Braize even more motivation to work hard.

I think the Mad Knight might make an appearance, I just need to figure/write how she ends up working with the Coward's Men.

Still working on the list of monsters the Beastlords have tamed, as well as a more general sumamtion of their force organization. Hopefully will have that up soon.

I demand giant sandworms (<3 Dune).

If not, I demand that be a quest for the Mad Knight to join in on at some point (The Hunt for the Great Sandworm).

I don't really know of anything that I can or need to post at the moment. I had figured that I'd just be waiting for either the hermit to put up his beacon or someone else to do something that they talked about and I forget right at the moment. I also kinda don't really have too much to do anyway since my character doesn't have some kinda devious plot going on so I'm just a thumb twiddler at the moment.

@Flagg

Get back to me on the stuff I posted and I can probably just leave.
