The Breath is a region spanning the lands east of the Crater, including the Freelands of the South and the ominous Dead Gods Lane.
In 440 AC, Alarion, king of the Freelanders, raises an army of undead desert warriors through necromantic rituals.
Consumed by his obsession with the dead, Alarion neglects the growing internal problems of his nation, which teeters on the brink of civil war.
He constructs pyramids across the region and gifts them to his ranking officers, a decision that fuels unrest and resentment among the Governors.
