Nito

The First of the Dead

Nito, the first of the dead, is one of the original Lords who found a Lord Soul at the dawn of the Age of Fire. His soul turned him into a living manifestation of illness and death, a mass of skeletons held together. He, along with the other Lords, waged war against the Dragons, and helped issue the killing blow by unleashing a miasma of death and disease upon them. After the war with the dragons, Nito descended into the Catacombs, and slumbered within the Tomb of the Giants.
Even in that state, he could administer the death of all life and offered much of the energy of his own soul to death itself.Travelers brave enough to find their way into his tomb would pay their respects and become a Gravelord Servant. While Nito sees all death, and induces all death, his servants return with Eyes of Death to prove that they have done their tasks. In return for their service to him, Nito accepts these offerings, and presents his servants with more power.
