The Bone Horde

"Beneath every inch of flesh is a spark of undeath, waiting to get out." - Acerak Zarunkumar during his occupation of Tyr.

At a Glance
The Bone Horde was an amalgamation of undead Orcs, Shadar-Kai, and necrotic-infused races that were slain by the Lich Acerak Zarunkumar. Created through a massive city-wide ritual that converted nearly half of Tyr's population to undeath, the Bone Horde was a massive threat on account of its endless numbers. Those who were killed by the Bone Horde would soon be risen by its dark sorcerers.

History
The creation of the Bone Horde was a result of the manipulation of the Orc Warbands circling Tyr. Playing on the Orcish bloodlust and gullibility, the Lich Acerak Zarunkumar promised the different Warbands a means into the city of Tyr. True to his word, Acerak opened the way for their carnage after sneaking into the city, but his true motives for the Orcs would soon be revealed.

Having assembled the uncooperative Orc warbands into one place, Acerak slew them and a large swath of Tyr's population in a massive necrotizing ritual (made possible by the appearance of Vecna's weakened, but preserved soul.) With the united warbands, now undead, under his command, Acerak ordered the Bone Horde to sniff out Tyr's opposition who had taken to the sewers and bring more minions into the fold.

Members
Constituting some of the most powerful Orcish Chieftans and Shadar-Kai sorcerers, the members of the Bone Horde were mindless undead bent on the will of their master, Acerak. Still, they proved a potent threated when combined with their limitless numbers.
