``The devil can cite Scripture for his
purpose. ''
- William Shakespeare 1564-1616

Any
good bunch of heroes needs an equally bad group of villains to challenge them,
and these two classes are my attempt at just that. Many great works of
fantasy include two types of reoccurring villains: the horrific sorcerer
who delves into forbidden magics, conjures demons, and animates the dead for no
purpose other than to prove his mastery over life and death; and the Black
Knight. A warrior who has pledged himself to some infernal power for some
reason or another. He may have some twisted honor, but this only thinly
cloaks his delight in bloodshed. The Charnelist is my dark sorcerer, and
the Reaver my anti-paladin.
