Lore[]
Although he assumed power under suspicious circumstances, Baron Zachareth brought forth streams of silver from long-abandoned mines and resolved to return peace to the borders, earning him the love of his people and acclaim throughout the land. The silver barony of Carthridge shares an ancient border with the cursed thirteenth barony. As such, Baron Zachareth is one of the few Daqan leaders to speak regularly of the threat posed by the Mistlands. He continually pushes for a preemptive invasion of the Mistlands, which he volunteers to lead himself. The other barons refuse to support such an endeavor, but as reports of unnatural creatures and the walking dead continue to pour in, their resistance may ultimately prove foolish.
Perhaps due to this rare control over the arcane, it is whispered among the people of Terrinoth that Baron Zachareth has fallen to the lure of sorcerous power. His enemies claim that now he is little more than a self-serving warlock, almost reminiscent of a young Waiqar. As a young man, Zachareth studied magic at the Colleges of Greyhaven. There, he passed the Trials of the Elements in rapid succession and developed theories regarding the runebound shards, claiming that the magic used to animate Rune Golems could be used not only to offer vitality to stone sentries, but to increase the strength of living soldiers.
While the scholars dismissed his request to experiment with this idea, claiming it was too rash and dangerous for anyone involved, Zachareth decided to attempt the rituals using himself as a test subject. Despite the experiment’s success, this act of disobedience would have been cause for his expulsion from the college, had it not been for his father's timely death forcing Zachareth to return to Carthridge to assume the mantle of power.
