Henlon was crowned the 350th king of Wyrmwood almost eight hundred years
ago. His entire reign he had been seeking for a way to leave a lasting
legacy among his kin, something that would mark him as the greatest king the
wood elves had ever known. There had been many false starts to this quest
some comical and more than a few that were tragic. This time however, Henlon
was convinced he had perfect way to secure his fame into eternity. Henlon
would be the king that brought magic to the wood-elves, the gods had
conspired to keep magic away from wood-elves and Henlon would set right this
mistake.


Henlon hired renowned magicians of every school to open guilds in his kingdom
and offer apprenticeship to his people and kept pouring a kings ransom
into this project for almost a century.To date his efforts had borne
absolutely no fruit, over a century of studies not a single wood-elf had been
able to pull a single mote of mana from the veil. Perhaps it was desperation
of mortality or plain hubris but at a certain point Henlon become convinced
that the traditional guilds had all failed him.Transmutation, invocation,
shapeshifting and even the conjuring guilds had all tried, and they had all
failed.Henlon turned to the dark arts and in particular to a particularly
wretched wight that promised unlock the secrets of necromancy unto the
kingdom of Wyrmwood. To think, Henlon the great would have power over death
itself!Henlon was absolutely smitten with this idea and the legacy of magic
that he had long abandoned reason and any semblance of morality.
