Death's Grasp – Wraith of Possession

A wraith whose rage has been stirred in the desecration of Limlight’s graveyard. It has begun to possess guardsmen and soldiers throughout the village, adding to the existing list of threats baring down on the few defenders that remain in the settlement. Each victim it possesses is used to their full extent, until their legs or arms have become completely shattered and unusable. Until then, whatever spears may pierce their hearts or swords may sever their heads are otherwise useless.

Limlight’s graveyard is older than the Kingdom of Belfrie, though a large swathe of the tombs and graves dug there are at the fault of its rebellion. There lays thousands of soldiers who perished at the battle here over three centuries past, when the fires of the Belfrie rebellion burned across the Draksborne Empire. This wraith is one of many disturbed souls who has wandered the Spirit Plains since their death, for three hundred years. Yet in the current outbreak in the village, its resting place has been desecrated, and the wraith enraged in turn.

Now it is beginning to unleash its misplaced vengeance upon the soldiers, guardsmen and civilians of Limlight who are desperately trying to survive the Blight that is ravaging their home. Anyone who becomes its victim is used until they are utterly spent, and their body is no longer useful in their quest for vengeance. Alongside the plague that is currently tearing through the populace, this is a worrisome development.
