A lone traveler makes his way through the muck and grime that characterizes the land that is Monrovia. A fugitive from the Ossorian Empire, this is the only option left to him if he is to hone his craft as the Vesenian Orthodoxy has outlawed necromancy and everything associated with it. Woe betide the unfortunate soul caught up in that business as they would very likely end up having to choose between the stake and the stockade. For Malfus, there is no price too high to pay so long as he will get back his Kiara. So if he must brave the mercenaries and brigands that have made Monrovia notorious, then so be it. He will soon discover why the church is wary of negative energy powered by the old Shal-Umbran tongue in Casey Sutton's Greedy As A Ghoul.

Far into Monrovia's marshy countryside, an exiled necromancer wanders, hungry and desperate to find shelter for the night. Though the swampland is a lawless frontier where sword and dagger serve as judge and jury, it is the only place where Malfus can continue his research on life and death - the same study that led to his rejection by society. However, to unlock the arcane secrets needed to bring his beloved back, Malfus is willing to pay the price. But tonight, the endeavor might turn ugly. It all starts when Malfus discovers dozens of corpses strewn across a battlefield. With an intense focus on the negative energy pervading the area and a few words from his spellbook, he builds a formidable army of the dead.
