Jorun

Demon Prince Jorun is a being of exceptional malice and ambition, feared for his mastery over the corruption of life and the unnatural perpetuation of existence. Some say he was once a mortal sorcerer obsessed with conquering death, others say he was born not of a mother or a father but of the Abyss itself. However his origin, Jorun achieved a dark immortality through forbidden pacts with abyssal forces. He has since risen to become a demon prince, his power rivaling that of the gods themselves. His influence spreads through necromancy, the binding of souls, and the creation of eternal servitude in the form of undead legions.
Jorun seeks not just to escape death but to dominate all life, bending Avaleen to his vision of eternal stagnation. His name is whispered in fear, his cults hunted relentlessly, but his influence continues to spread in the shadows, corrupting all that it touches.
Jorun’s homestead is a grotesque wasteland of eternal dusk, littered with decaying cities and legions of undead slaves. Rivers of tar and corrupted ichor flow through the realm, where the air is heavy with the stench of rot and despair. Towers of bone rise from the cracked earth, and necromantic storms constantly swirl across the skies. It is said that no soul can pass through Necrophelion untainted and the living who stumble upon it are quickly transformed into Jorun’s undead thralls.
Appearance Jorun is often depicted as a towering skeletal figure adorned in rusted, blood-streaked armor, with blue-green flames burning in his hollow eye sockets. His gaunt visage is crowned by jagged bone antlers, and his left arm is a mass of writhing shadows, representing his abyssal pact. He wields a massive scythe, Endfall, said to harvest the souls of the living and bind them to his will.

Artifacts

Endfall, Scythe of Eternal Dread

Weapon Type: Scythe Appearance: Endfall is a massive, two-handed scythe forged in the depths of the Abyss, its blackened blade curved like a crescent moon and glowing faintly with a sickly green hue. The weapon's haft is made of charred bone fused with tarnished iron, etched with abyssal runes that pulse faintly when souls are claimed. At the base of the haft, a jagged shard of obsidian radiates an eerie coldness, serving as a reservoir for stolen souls. Trails of shadow and ghostly wisps follow the weapon’s every movement, as though it carves through the fabric of reality itself.

Properties

Endfall is far more than a weapon, it is a conduit for Jorun's immense necromantic power. Wielding it allows Jorun to rip the life force from his enemies, trapping their souls within the scythe. These souls fuel his dark magic and provide endless energy for his unholy creations.
Legends say Endfall was forged from the remnants of a celestial's severed wings, corrupted in the fires of Necrophelion and quenched in the blood of a thousand mortal champions. The weapon hungers eternally for souls, and its whispers are said to drive weaker mortals mad with despair.
Endfall represents Jorun's ultimate goal: to sever Avaleen's cycle of life and death, replacing it with an eternal, unchanging dominion of undeath. Its every swing is a declaration of his defiance against the gods who cast him down and a grim promise of his inevitable return. 

Abilities

• Soul Harvest: Creatures slain by Endfall cannot be resurrected except by a wish spell or divine intervention. Their souls are bound within the scythe, empowering its wielder.
• Aura of Dread: While wielding Endfall, Jorun emanates a 60-foot aura that saps the courage of his enemies. Creatures in the aura must make a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened.
• Undying Cleave: Endfall’s blade tears at the boundary between life and death. On a critical hit, it summons a specter under the wielder's control to fight alongside them for 1 minute.
• Corrupting Touch: The blade leaves necrotic scars on the land, poisoning it with undeath. Any area struck by Endfall becomes blighted, spawning minor undead over time.
