	Broader and taller then the more common ghouls, this one stands with some cold bearing of command and power. Tattered rags of velvet and silk still drape the corrupt form and a keen light of evil will and force dominates the ruined face now rotting and festered. The aura of its power tingles along your nerves and brings a cold sweat to your brow as you gaze into eyes, now vacant, which seem to stare back at you with cruel disdain.		<pre{{log2\|margin-right=26em}}>Broader and taller then the more common ghouls, this one stands with some cold bearing of command and power.

	In the [[ICE age\|I.C.E. Age]] these were called "ghoul kings", and were also found in [[Darkstone Castle#Behind ~~The~~ Scenes\|Castle Claedesbrim]]. Those in [[The Graveyard]] use [[gorcrow\|gorcrows]] as familiars to scout for trespassers to be converted into more ghouls. Ghoul kings were likely a specially made form of [[undead]] rather than the natural progression of Ghoul Rot as the [[lesser ghoul]] ages, which gradually become [[greater ghoul\|greater ghouls]] over the years. They did not exist in [[Rolemaster]]. The later extension of the burial mound introduced a "saucer-shaped depression" which may refer to the "slight bowl-like depression" from [http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/mo.aspx The Mound], which appears to be [[Jaron Galarn\|the basis]] of [[Shadow Valley]], providing a second underworld passage which was not part of [[Purgatory#Archaeology\|the design]] of [[The Graveyard]]. The skull would be an allusion to the [[Spectral miner#Behind ~~The~~ Scenes\|headless]] woman [[moaning spirit#Behind ~~The~~ Scenes\|sentry]], and the unknown warrior marker to the reanimated headless [[Jaron Galarn#Behind ~~The~~ Scenes\|conquistador]] whose story was once unknown.

	This part of the necropolis was designed slightly before the gods documentation was changed so that the scythe wielding [[Gosaena]] had her familiar death theology. The carved image of the robed figure with scythe is more curiously related to [[The Temple of Darkness Poem]], where the [[ICE age\|I.C.E. Age]] form of [[Amasalen]] (originally a [[Purgatory#Shadow World\|servant]] only of the [[Muylari#Behind ~~The~~ Scenes\|serpent god]] [[Luukos]]) is represented bizarrely as a grim reaper. This is interesting because [[Kestrel Etrevion]] or [[Orhan marble\|his sons]] were [[Bellacorn\|implicitly]] his servants, and Amasalen was later changed to include [[Uthex Kathiasas\|ascension]]. The ruined carvings of the [[Uthex Kathiasas\|dark gods]], the descent of an ancient passageway, and sacrifices to the altar of a [[Bandur Etrevion#Behind ~~The~~ Scenes\|forgotten deity]] are better interpreted through Lovecraft and [[The Broken Lands]]. In the story the depression gives way to a winding stairway down, opening up into chambers with arches and depicting graven [[Eidolon#Behind ~~The~~ Scenes\|"eidola"]] of dark gods. It was a very old opening that the [[Moaning spirit#Behind ~~The~~ Scenes\|denizens]] of the underworld had forgotten existed, so symbolically it is a [[Purgatory#Archaeology\|forbidden]] [[Death dirge#Behind ~~The~~ Scenes\|other way]] into the [[Bandur Etrevion#Behind ~~The~~ Scenes\|under crypt]]. It is interesting to note the burial mound was built on quarried rock and then filled with [[Maleskari\|humanoid bones]] from the purging of the surrounding region.
