Morgana of Malvora, The Black Death
Morgana, the Black Death, is one of the most feared and infamous figures in the history of the Ravathorian Empire. Like her half-brother, Prince Gustave, Morgana was conceived through a primordial sin—necrophilia, a taboo act that imbued her with dark, unnatural powers from birth. This grotesque origin shaped her very existence, leaving her as something neither fully alive nor dead. Morgana is a specter, trapped between the realms of life and death, walking the mortal world with an aura of the grave clinging to her every step.
From a young age, Morgana exhibited a natural affinity for the arcane, and it was clear to everyone around her that she had inherited her father’s twisted genius. While others may have dabbled in the magical arts, Morgana fully embraced the darkest corners of magic, drawn most strongly to necromancy. It became her passion, a reflection of the grim circumstances of her birth and the legacy of her father. She quickly mastered the craft of raising the dead, manipulating life and death at her whim, earning the title of "Black Death" among her enemies and allies alike.
Unlike her siblings, who relished in martial prowess or grand strategic vision, Morgana’s strength lay in her ability to break the will of her enemies through psychological terror and the corrupting influence of her necromantic powers. Her armies were bolstered not just by living soldiers but by vast legions of the dead, twisted souls bound to her service. Under her command, the Malvora Army became synonymous with terror, leaving cities in ruins, their populations either enslaved or raised as mindless servants of the Ravathorian cause.
Morgana’s dark and twisted mind, combined with her unparalleled skill in necromancy, made her one of the deadliest forces in the empire, feared not only by enemies but by those within the imperial court who dared to cross her. Her chilling intellect, ruthless ambition, and deep connection to the forces of death made her a figure of both awe and dread. She has no qualms about sacrificing life—whether it be her enemies' or her own followers'—to achieve her goals, and her loyalty lies only in the expansion of her dark powers and the glory of the Ravathorian Empire.
In every sense, Morgana embodies the creeping, unstoppable decay of death itself, making her not only a master of necromancy but a living (or half-living) manifestation of the inevitable end that awaits all.
