The desert sands of the Everdust betrays the wealth of life that can be found beneath the surface. Home to arguably the most powerful empire that once existed in Ethia, the Everdust was a vibrant metropolis of culture and knowledge. All of that is sadly gone, an age long past, like the wind through the dunes. Remnants of such a civilization can still be seen however, clinging to life, the unnatural Sabuk.
Undeath is a concept foriegn to the magics of Ethia, though many have claimed to be Necromancers, there is no contemporary evidence of such magics being practiced or even existing for that matter. The Sabuk look to be a collection of a human-like skeleton, animated and wielding powerful weapons, protecting the now barren ruins of the old Everdust Empire. The bones radiate powerful magic, and are tougher than the regular bones of a human.
There seems to be a latent intelligence within each member of the Sabuk, it becoming more apparent as the Sabuk rises through the ranks and claiming the position of Lich, Knight or Ranger. Members of the Library are known to have conversed with many a Sabuk, usually in a cordial and almost civilized manner. Many will speak of the Heralding of the Champion, a time when the Everdust will need to be defended from a great and overwhelming threat.
