Signia is a continent inhabited by humans, beastfolk, elves, the undead, and even the Creator Gods and the Demon Gods of Destruction. Its people revere magic and martial prowess, but speak of necromancy with terror. Necromancers can control the souls of the dead, making the living fear that the dead will never find rest. Legend says necromancy is a demonic art, a calamity brought into the human world by devils. It is therefore forbidden throughout Signia: those caught practicing it are either exiled or, in the worst cases, punished along with their entire families.
Evan was frail and useless at magic, and his own people looked down on him with contempt. During a trial in the Abyss of No Return, he met Lao, a badly wounded necromancer. Lao could immediately tell that Evan had the makings of a necromancer, and saw the defiance in his eyes. From then on, Evan studied necromancy under Lao and began his journey toward becoming a necromancer.
By this time, Signia was already beset by danger, and the sealed devils were stirring. As Evan mastered necromancy, he grew increasingly aware of the malice coming from the demons.
In the end, Evan stayed true to himself and became a demon-slaying hero, forging a legend across the continent of Signia.
