==The Dread Marches== 

Precisely one hundred years before the beginning of the campaign, the Dread Marches erupted into being.  A blighted landscape of twisted forests and waste, the Marches spawned a host of horrific new beings, from the innumerable dreadspawn to the tunneling bulk of the ash leviathan.  While the surrounding powers were able to bring the Dread Marches to a halt, retaking and purifying the region has yet to happen.  Worse still, the seeming architect of the Marches is a necromantic thaumaturgist who co-opted some of the people who live in the Marches region, and now sends them out as agents and envoys.

It is said that many of the undead and monstrous creations of the Marches have spread far and wide even after their forces were shattered and broken; it is also said that the Dread One is a servant of the Elder Gods.
