The wardens of Zenoth

The mysterious undead warriors known as the wardens of Zenoth. A report by Arch mage Keledek Windfall. Omgar -3531 AC (age of change)   The wardens of Zenoth, also known as the Zenoth Wardens, are ghostly skeletol figures wearing heavy plate armor and who wear a hood to cover their heads. These ominous figures are exoptional warriors in both martial strenght and magic, inflicting fear into all who are brave and stupid enough to fight them. Each warden carries an enchanted mace and a large shield with an unknown symbol.   There have been multiple reports of these figures hunting down specific targets, but how or why is unknown. Those who have witnessed or encountered these strange bounty hunters report that if left alone, they will do you no harm and simply move along. If you're not their target that is. Their name comes from an old wifes tale about the city of Zenoth. A place where the dead would be judged before being allowed entrance into the great outer planes for their afterlife. Those who's soul was fragmented, corrupted or simply deemed to big of a threat for the outer planes, would be denied entry into their fitting afterlife. These souls would instead be destroyed. We know from the gods themselfs that this is not true and that Zenoth doesn't exsist. But I cannot help wonder, what if it is? Who would judge these souls and what could they have ment with "to big of a threat to the outer planes"?   By studying their activities over the last 4 years i've learned a great deal about these still mysterious wardens. Unlike the rumours, they do infact not come from a different plane. They always seem to return to an island south-east of the deadmans bog. I've sailed past it, not getting to close. It's a wasteland with nothing but dead vegitation and large mushrooms resembeling those of the underdark. It is known that there is a passage way into the underdark on the island, which leads me to believe the wardens must have a base of operations there.   I have not been able to determine how many there are. It seems that whenever a warden is defeated they travel back to a place of origin, much like a fiend would. This, and the fact they all look identical, has made it difficult to determine their numbers. I can only say for certain that at least 7 of them exsist.   Much is still unknown and I would prefer to continue my studies. But when one of them suddenly appeared in my room as I went to bed a few days ago, and gave me the message "No mortal can yet know the truth" and he held his mace in his hands, I knew better than to continue with any further research. And I advise you to do the same. Whoever you are, the Zenoth Wardens do not wish for you to know the truth. Stop your research now, while you still can.     ~ Arch mage Keledek Windfall
