Wraith of Darkmoor

Connections

  • Mordex destroyed the Wraith of Darkmoor but secretly took the fiend's great scythe Cull for himself

Context

A wraith is some sort of ghost or specter-like creature. Like many common fantastical creatures, the exact nature of a wraith can vary widely depending on the setting. I am most familiar with Dungeons & Dragons, and there a wraith is an evil undead creature that can drain the health of its victims and even summon a specter from a recently made corpse. Whatever this wraith was, it was in possession of the sinister-sounding scythe, Cull, which Mordex soon took.

Dark Moor is a Spanish metal band. More interestingly, Darkmoor is the name of a challenging level in a 2008 MMO RPG called Wizard101. But, BMG likely just stuck the words "dark" and "moor" (a section of uncultivated high ground) together to make a cool-sounding place name.
