— Sacheon's Beginnings

In a time and place long forgotten, there was a flourishing kingdom ruled by King Soo, who was greatly envied by neighboring lands—this vile jealousy turned into a rain of terror that cascaded across King Soo's beloved kingdom. All he had wanted to do was provide for his people, but instead, he brought pain and suffering unto them. Now, he wanted revenge on the enemy.

With his kingdom under siege, King Soo turned to unlikely means, summoning the council of demons for their strength to turn the tide of this war. They agreed to help on one condition: that King Soo must forfeit his firstborn son in exchange for this power.

For King Soo, his son was his greatest treasure. But in his shortsightedness... King Soo gave up his precious son in exchange for power.

Soon, King Soo's enemies were defeated but his son's spirit—angry and vengeful for being sacrificed—haunted these lands and began to amass a following to overthrow the King. The son's spirit usurped King Soo and banished Soo from the kingdom with his remaining followers.

In exile, some of Soo's followers began to question if forfeiting his son was worth the revenge against neighboring lands. Soo, on the other hand, was still convinced that revenge needed to be exacted: in fact, this was not enough, he needed to continue till peace was restored and his son was resurrected.

Once again, Soo turns to demonic forces and he sacrifices his followers to collect bones—one bone per disciple, collecting enough bones to create a skeleton to resurrect his son with, and put his son’s soul to rest, no matter how much death he caused.

Unbeknownst to Soo, his son was still angry and corrupt from the sacrificial ritual he endured, so when his son awoke, revived in a new body, his son killed Soo. The son took revenge, taking Soo's body to the river where the former king disposed of his sacrifices, and the son revived every slain soul with every last bit of Soo's body.

The son is now known as the Great Necromancer, this river and surrounding city is called Sacheon ("Dead River") to this day, and the people revived from it are known as the necromancer’s army.
