setclassname      "Scourge Lord"
classdescr        "The Scourge Lord is the undisputed ruler of the land, as it is he who determines which people should be allowed to live and which should be drained of their life to fuel the Scourge Lord's power.  The Scourge Lords is able to grant great power to his foremost servants.  These servants are called Heralds and they enforce the Scourge Lord's laws and expand his influence by conquering neighboring areas.^^For lesser spells the Scourge Lord and his Herald can drain life force from vegetation or living beings in the immediate surroundings.  But for powerful rituals, much more life force is needed, and for this purpose great pillars or pyramids are built that can extract life force from the surrounding lands.  Anything in the vicinity of such a site of power will soon be turned into barren wastelands as the very life is drained from the land.  Some living beings from such areas will be turned into Ghouls and continue to serve the Scourge Lord, but most will simply die as their life force is stolen.^^These rituals of the Scourge Lord are very powerful and can be used to summon and control beasts, teleport entire armies or to further enhance the might of the Scourge Lord and his Heralds. The Scourge Lord will not share power and there can only be one master. Only if the Lord becomes a King will he allow his Heralds to advance in power and become Scourge Lords."
