GWEN
To emerge victorious from the Deadlands, seek out Gwen. Convince her to share her secrets of the undead. Especially the skill that grants you the power to keep the dead... dead.
Gwen's Story
Gwen was a mage studying in Spug City while her brother Atticus joined the Spug City paladin order. On one of his first quests, Atticus went with a party of paladins to destroy a Hellgate that had appeared in the Deadlands. Unfortunately, the demons which appeared were much stronger than reported, and Atticus and his whole party disappeared, presumed dead. After hearing the news, Gwen became obsessed with killing the demons who murdered her brother, fleeing Spug City to study the forbidden art of necromancy. Eventually, she found an original copy of the infamous Book of the Dead and transcended her mortal limitations to become a lich, a powerful undead necromancer. Her mastery of the dark arts now complete, Gwen scoured the Deadlands for any trace of the demons she had sworn to destroy. However, the Hellgate sensed her presence and hid itself, frustrating her efforts. Even worse, the very same paladin order her brother had joined declared her an abomination and placed a sizable bounty on her head, forcing her to fight off countless bounty hunters and would-be heroes. Unable to either complete her vengeance or give up, Gwen settled in the Deadlands, hoping to find any clue to the Hellgate’s location. Shortly after discovering a promising lead, Gwen got a call from Reggie about a party of bounty hunters looking for the Zombie Sisters, and agreed to guide them through the Deadlands in exchange for their help.
