Archmage Beliaos of the Shrouded Sea
Tumblr media
-Pictured Beliaos;  The Self Proclaimed Divinity.  The Iron Fist.  Scourge of the Shrouded Sea.
Tumblr media
-Beliaos Stats (and why the heck is this one so blurry I seriously don’t know? compression?)
Beliaos is the perfect final antagonist to most players and parties campaigns in the Shrouded Sea an Evil Tyrant and self proclaimed god.
Well similar to a Lich his greater spell options additional special attacks after running out of spells and the fact he will 100% have undead servants and/or personal bodyguards with him makes this combat a far more difficult endeavor.
Killing the Iron Fist is not going to be easy and make your players work for it here are a few magic items to give Beliaos to represent his treasure trove of items.
You do not need to give him all of these items obviously but think about including them.
The Iron Fist;  A Gauntlet that lets him Cast Shield 5 Times Per Long Rest.  Well worn it also provides a costant Shield of Faith
Runic Plate;  Beliao’s Armour has many magic runes on it the most common is Ally Swap which allows Beliaos as a Legendary Action select 1 ally within 75ft of himself to swap places with
Ring of Hasty Casting;  This Ring lets him cast a 3rd Level or lower spell as a Bonus Action and its a great way to have Beliaos pepper the party with magic missiles to disrupt them.
Transportation Stone;  Once Per Long Rest Beliaos can teleport up to 5 willing Creatures in his sight to anywhere within the Shrouded Sea.  When the stone recharges he can transport back all the creatures without expending the stones power as long as they are all still willing(corpses are considered willing for this).  Beliaios can also use this power on himself to teleport to any Teleportation Circle within the Shrouded Sea Once Per Month.
Beliaos is smart and should players expose themselves as a threat to his dominion far to early in the campaign he is very willing to intercept them or send powerful mages under his command to do so.
The spells above are those assumed prepared should he know players are coming for a fight but adjust the list to counter players he knows information about and do not forget that he knows every Wizard Spell meaning you can tailor his spell list as you see fit
Frankly Beliaos as a bad guy is self explanatory... he is the reason the Shrouded Sea is the mess it is.
A campaign could start at any point be it right after the Uprising or even a decade later players would have many reasons to enter the Shrouded Sea in exploration for lost loved ones or treasures of the many kingdoms vaults hopefully yet plundered or ravaged.
After 30 years most campaigns would be more about mapping out the region after the destruction a confirmation of the damages and investigation of the ground before investigating the floating islands above.
That said an adventure could just as easily start with the players as sky pirates or what have you entering this newly formed Shrouded Sea to investigate and catalogue the region or see if people live on these floating islands or the premises i suggested before.
The grand scope of the region really leaves the options open to those wishing to explore it all with the foreboding threat of the Scourge seeing a threat to his power in this upstarts.
He’s a monster and he has no problems enacting that on others without care for there safety.
Beliaos is without remorse and simply cares to rule his city and stop any from being able to have claims in the Shrouded Sea indirectly ruling as the Scourge of it.

Hey anyone else remember the episode of Adventure Time called "Evergreen" where it's revealed that the original bearer of the crown to whom it was "forever linked" was actually a neglected child (and prior reincarnation of Finn) named Gunter trying to be like his wizard father?? Anyone??? Because I had fully forgotten until re-watching the episode last night and I'm losing my mind about the implications.
Tumblr media
(This episode is also a devastating look at how a mistreated child unconsciously learns that he must treat himself and those he has power over as cruelly as he has been treated. Adventure Time has so much sadness and madness, y'all.)

There was no such thing as magic or monsters. They were old tales once used to scare children… or so she thought.
What stood before her could not be described as a man… no. This was no man, but a monster parading around in the flesh of her lover. An undead monster with malevolent glowing ruby eyes in his pitch black eye sockets.
“You weren’t supposed to see me like this, my dear…” The creature’s husky voice whispers. He outstretches his hand to try to tuck a strand of hair behind her face, but she flinched away when some of the skin falls off his hand to reveal more skeleton. “This skin had started to decay too quickly… I don’t mean to scare you-“
(Your name) could only scream as she tried to flee, but something invisible held her in her place. Her feet now stuck to the ground like a tree as her body trembles like a leaf under his intense gaze.
“W-who are you?”
“It’s me, Aeron.” The undead creature gave her a bow, his rotten hand now tenderly caresses her face. “I’m your lover of course-“
(Your name) fails to shift her head away, her body convulsing in sobs when he presses the teeth of his skeletal face in an attempt to kiss her. More of Aeron’s flesh fell off in the process, the soft skin now sat on her shoulder. Tears spill from her eyes in horror.
“This is quite a sight for your eyes, my dear…” ‘Aeron’ pulls back with a sigh, he peels off the rest of the skin off his face to reveal an entire skeleton save for his ruby eyes. “I sadly do not have the same appealing appearance I had a millennium ago… but I simply could not stay away once I sensed you were back in this world.”
Aeron grabbed her hands and held them up to his rotted chest. The black metal band on his skeletal ring finger terrifies her to her very core. This monster was not her fiancé… “My heart may long be gone but I swear it beat only for you. I had no reason to have flesh or organs once you ceased to exist…” Aeron pressed his teeth to her soft hands with a cry. “I miss being able to touch you… to feel you. I envy that man who was in my place for a brief time but he is no more. He hasn’t been for a few years now actually.”
Aeron then sat back, his terrifying face tilted to the side when her tears didn’t stop falling. “My dear why do you cry? Do you not remember me? My name? I… I don’t quite remember my name either so I borrowed your temporary lover’s.”
“W-what are you?” (Your name) stutters out. This monster has been by her side for three years and she never noticed… how could she not notice?
“Well I am what you would call a lich. I sacrificed my humanity for immortality so I could meet you again once you were reborn. I was once your lover over a thousand years ago.” Aeron threw his hands up in the air. “I eliminated all other magic in this world so nothing could ever harm you again. I didn’t want something as silly as priests to stop us from being together again. How lucky was I that you weren’t chosen to be the saintess again.”
(Your name) watches the lich ramble. She was lost and didn’t have a clue on what he spoke of. They were lovers a thousand years ago and he waited a millennium to be reunited with her? She was a saintess? Then what was he?
“My dear, don’t question it too much. You’ll hurt you head.” The lich snapped his fingers, the flesh flew back onto his body and repaired itself. A familiar handsome man with dark hair stood before her now. Aeron smiled at her. “We can just pretend this never happened again… just like he have for the last three times you found out.”
“The what?” A hand was waved over her face and (your name) no longer knew what she was about to say… or why she was upset in the first place. “Aeron? What happened?”
“You just had a bit of a headache my dear. How about I make you a cup of tea to help?” Aeron rubs her back in a reassuring manner, his red eyes filled with love. “Just sit on the couch okay? I’ll take care of everything.”
(Your name) nods her head and goes over to sit down on the couch. She plops her body down while Aeron fetches her a fresh cup of tea.
Aeron smiles at his reflection in the window. Yes… this human face will do for now. All he has to do is convince her to stay with him forever. He wouldn’t fail this time… he had her wrapped around his finger rather than on opposite sides during a war.
Aeron was no longer an enemy necromancer but her lover. Her fiancé.
He’d burn the whole world down again if he had to. Aeron would do anything for his love… he’s already sold his soul and waiting a millennium for her. What was another thousand years to a lich?

There’s liches, and lesser known is the demi-lich, which is a lich at lower power that is only a skull, but I have found it can go farther. I found a hemi-demi-semi-lich that was just a floating tooth that was feebly stabbing me with the root end of the tooth trying to draw some blood and life force.
It was honestly pretty sad to see, so I sharpened the tooth a bit and fed it some squirrels’ life force I had lying around. It immediately was able to gather a few more teeth together and might well gather a jaw soon if it can keep the momentum going, so I consider that my good deed for the holiday season that I’m sure will have no negative consequences.

there's genuinely something so alluring about the grace of lichdom. scrape the flesh from your bones, give them a proper preservation, and you can effectively become a walking art piece, an eternal representation of your own immortality.
inlaid gold filigree, bejeweled eyes, horns attached to your skull, perhaps a ruby-red bottle hanging in your ribcage holding your soul. graceful, flowing silk robes, elaborate headpieces, ornate golden deathmasks of your face in life
it's an affront to the natural order of things, but by god is it sexy

You folks ever heard of a Worm That Walks? Well, I hadn't when I drew this, but it's this nasty creature from Dungeons and Dragons that forms when a lich's body is entirely rotted away and replaced by a squirming mass of worms and maggots! Sick, right? Anyway, that's what I think Mannimarco (aka the King of Worms aka KW) would've been before he reached godhood during Daggerfall, but here he is as a particularly rotten lich with maggots infesting his body instead! Two different robe designs (people thought the first one was too glitzy), a couple different stages of decay in his face, and a poor, poor, foreign adventurer, not used to seeing this level of necromancy in her homeland of Morrowind.

Playing a Heroic Necromancer in DnD 5e
Tumblr media
Necromancy is one of the most evil-skewed powers in just about any fantasy setting. However, unless you're running a villain campaign, most DnD parties are made up of heroes who won't like having an evil character in their midst. You want to play a necromancer, but you also realize that DnD is a very collaborative game. So, how do you make your party more amicable towards the thought of you raising a family? Here's some possible backstory ideas that can fuel a heroic necromancer for your next campaign.
Tumblr media
The Scholar
The taboo, illegal, or forbidden nature of studying necromancy drew your interest. Whether you studied with a secret sect, uncovered a grimoire of necromantic magic, or made a deal with a devil for profane knowledge, you were driven by a desire to study magic. The sparse availability of necromancy forces you to remain mobile, making party formation easy. You may be hunted by law enforcement, clerics of Kelemvor, or other necromancers angry at you for stealing their arcane secrets. And now that you know what so many tried to hide from you, it's your choice how to use it.
Tumblr media
The Chronicaller
History is written by the victors, the rich, and the powerful. But every life holds valuable knowledge and secrets. Ancient bones know things lost to time. Knowledge that was never written down. Stories which have not been spoken in centuries. Opinions of the common people during a historical event. Experience with phenomenon that can no longer be encountered. The Chronicaller wishes to unearth the secrets of the past already laid to rest.
Tumblr media
The Physician
The Frankenstein of Necromancers wishes to understand the medical and scientific elements of life and death itself. To understand the body by inspecting it and digging into it. They may study how to cure diseases or how to spread them. Try to find a way to slow or even halt the slow decomposition that turns the body elderly and frail.
Tumblr media
The Thayan Rebel
Once a Red Wizard of Thay, you have left Thay and the Red Wizards, letting your hair grow back slowly as you seek to expand your arcane talents beyond the limitations of Thayan conquest and oppression. The Red Wizards and Szas Tam become personal antagonists for your character and party as a result.
Tumblr media
The Undead
Be they a Revenant, a Dhampir, a Vampire, a Lich, or something else, they are already imbued with undead power. They simply embrace their anti-life energy already flowing through them, channeling a power most others would avoid. You may be undead, but you desire to staunchly defend the living from other undead who are less compassionate.
Tumblr media
The General
A wizard with a soldier background and optional martial multiclassing, your undead horde is your army of loyal soldiers, putting their lives on the line again and again to serve their general. An Oathbreaker 7/wizard 6 adds your CHA mod to undead within 10 ft, and proficiency bonus to all undead you control. But the steep dip into paladin locks you out from higher level spell slots for stronger undead minions.
Tumblr media
The Noble
Similar to the general, the undead serve you out of loyalty, not fear or force. But where the general commands their soldiers, the Noble may command their staff of servants, their commoner citizens, their knights and soldiers, or their own noble ancestors. The Noble utilizes their horde to fulfil the services and duties of their noble house. They're just as likely to conscript skeletons to pave a road or build a bridge as they are to form a wave of zombies to break up a smuggling ring in their city.
Tumblr media
The Immortal Guardian
You have or want to become immortal not out of power hunger or greed, but to protect the innocent forever as an unwavering guardian against evil. Everyday people can't protect themselves, and even legendary heroes die eventually. Only an immortal protector can be an eternal defender of the people.
Tumblr media
I hope if nothing else, this gave you some ideas for some good and noble necromancers you could bring to your next table. Did I miss any Heroic concepts that you thought of? Let me know, and help make the world a more morbid place.

Once again I caught myself creating a Hulking Horror from the remains and souls of several men.
As its flesh ripples and it cries out in pain and despair I find myself questioning my motives.
This creations serve no purpose that more conventional undead can't fulfill. I have created a monument to misery for nothing. Everyone who beholds it experiences revulsion, horror and existential dread. I have created art.
