His renewed presence and physical form can only be attributed to a former host of [[Goreskrat]] valley, a faithful servant in [[Undeath]].
+The [[undead]] call '''Ivoln, the Earthen Lord''' Father, for it is His essence that tethers them to this realm, kept greedily at bay from

+their elemental plane, the world of [[Azvosh]], where long ago, He subjugated the mighty armies with sheer force
+and brute strength.
+Ivoln's followers have adopted many symbols to denote His holy works: often an Earthen wyrm, or an egg of
+marble. In recent times, He has come to favor the skull, for its simple and evocative message.
