The Known Black Lords
The Black Prior
The Black Rook
The lord of High Trendle since 877, the Black Rook's realm is still swathed in the powerful illusions of Kandadron, but the Black Rook has turned them to obey his own commands. Although rising from obscurity as one of the several so-called rook liches of the Marlamarkan, in 881 the Black Lord of Trendle surprised and devastated the knights of the Priory of Kastelayr, and immediately proceeded to attack the grand priory with a large army of karex undead warriors, marching in haste up the marl to High Gate. The Grand Master and Seneschal of the Order led a strong cavalry force to reinforce the grand priory's army and protect the important farms and hamlets surrounding High Gate. In the terrible battle, a great many knights and warriors fell, including the Grand Master and Seneschal themselves. Although the rook lich and his army were turned and retreated, and the farms and hamlets were largely saved, the cost in life was extreme. In hatred, the new Grand Seneschal Macrox dubbed the rook lich the "Black Rook."
His forces largely depleted, the Black Rook retreated to High Trendle, protected by the dark illusions there, and would from time to time harass and siege commanderies both near and far in the Marlamarkan. In the uprising of the undead that started in 886, the Black Rook was once again aggressive, and took decisive victories, especially in the deeper markan valleys.
Since the destruction of the Black Crown himself in 887, the Black Rook has been remarkably quiet and still. Weakened as it, the Order has not yet chosen to attack the Black Rook or his commanderies and lands, for fear of provoking the powerful undead general. It is speculated that the other rook liches in the Marlamarkan now serve Black Rook.
The Black Teacher
A recent lich, the Black Teacher is also called "the Traitor" due to the extreme impact of his betrayal. A former White Necromancer of great power, he is now lord of the city of Elentor in the Orekon, and is widely considered the most powerful of the Black Lords in the wake of the destruction of the Black Crown. As the creator of the dreaded kamberlens, the gargantuan undead abominations that brought so much death to the Order in recent memory, he is particularly hated.
