Aragonian Pilgrimage

Life, Relocation

During the 1200's and 1300's NG, several waves of devout monks and their families, followers, and pilgrims began to colonize South Drak Isle. These Aragonian's rejected the strict teachings of Providence and the dichotomy of the Rationalists and Empiricists, choosing instead to look outside the mundane world for answers to the ultimate questions. They built a massive City-Temple in the jungles of South Drak Isle, living lives of devotion to the Deities of Order, Law, and Knowledge.    Unfortunately for them, their existence had not gone unnoticed by Ash Mo'Dan, the Zamberian lich that resided in his desert temple hidden deep within the Sand Ocean, far to the north. When the Darkness awoke the long lost Shard of Disease in 1426 NG, Ash Mo'Dan used it to eradicate every living thing on South Drak Isle with a plague of unprecedented proportion. The Monk's connection to the divine created an unforeseeable complication, however... the undead that Ash Mo'Dan had intended to raise as a mindless army under his control instead retained their souls, their minds, and their individuality. These unique undead creatures would eventually become The Defiled.
