I created a world today that was high in beasts and savagery to create terrifying biomes. Well my fortress was quickly overrun with the undead so i decided to look at the history, a few things stood out to me.
Every single artifact save one is a book written by either a necromancer or this specific jackal demon called Nuwetha who i think might be a forgotten beast? As is says in his description it says his is the only one of his kind.
The 4-5 necromancers who have been writing the books are all still alive and commanders or in some sort of leadership position. As for Nuwetha, in the time before time he wandered the underworld and later escaped in the fourth year of history. As time progressed he lied to a government called The Nations of Trade and convinced them he was a dwarf? After this he wrote a few books and had actually become the -Law-Giver/Lord of The Nations of Trade.
This history with the artifacts and the jackal demon really fits with how my terrifying biome fortress rained human blood so often it literally covered the entire ground, zombies were numerous and such events such as my own horse becoming the downfall of my fortress while a child is eaten by her own father turned zombie.
Anyway what do you guys think of this?
EDIT: i may have come up with an explanation. I think Nuwetha might be ruling over goblins as another sort of creature Cithasi a skink fiend is actually master of another government called the Puzzling Monster, who he became master of BY POPULAR VOTE, and it says in his history that he murdered a goblin, not killed murdered, thus the goblin must have been some sort of civilian correct?
EDIT2: Uh under historical figures um they're all collossi, titans, forgotten beasts and demons or devils. Also all the demons and devils are rulers of a government that sounds evil so im also assuming goblin
EDIT3: Nevermind, theres gods, goddesses and normal historical figures cept most of the mortal ones are dead also i think i may have found dwarven cannibals as a dwarf was shown to have died being eaten by Urist Smithoiled
And to clairfy about the necromancer dominated part, most of the normal inhabitants of the world are dead, the necromancers are pretty much the only human,dwarves left save for a few small pockets of civilization still alive
