Background: Kal Sabbath was or still is a vile sinner. Once a warsinger in training possessing great power and talent, a voice that was meant to inspire and aid the land of Neved, and it's king. But Kal had greater ambition and desires that went beyond the need of some unworthy man, that demanded his power and fealty. The young Sabbath, decided to make his move, he abandoned the monastery of Heavy Metal, in search for more, more than what the Warlord could ever be able to satiate within the power hungry warsinger. Kal traveled the lands of Lithium, in search for knowledge and power, from the other forms of Metal, and he used charm and manipulation to gained these sacred sources. Then he'd betrayed those that showed him their secrets, from dwarves to djin, and even through dark bargains gain the knowledge of the dökkálfar and gnolls' Metal. But even with that knowledge, he couldn't perform those great form of songcraft, enraging and frustrating the traitorous warsinger, until he witnessed the effect of Gothic Metal, how it corrupts everything, taking inspiration he created a dark songcraft. He used a twisted form of Heavy Metal, empowered by the dark powers of the demons to dominate the souls and minds of the weak. Amassing a grand army of mindless minions, capable of playing the other Metals for him, without souls Odyiir couldn't interfere and a last his power was soo massive that he could conquer the whole of Ragnarock. Kal began attacking his former homeland of Neved, leading to a awful war, many innocent souls slain from the machinations and wickedness of Kal Sabbath the Warlock, forcing peasants and civilians to be his mindless minions and meat shields against Neved. But his own hubris lead to Sabbath's ultimately downfall, as he turned his back of Heavy Metal, and the true power of Rage, as the king united many warsingers from both the civilians and the Brotherhood of the Striken Hammers, to sing and play together, causing a warsong of unimaginable power that his own warsong was silenced, and thus Kal was without any troops. Instead he was all alone, Kal was beaten down and his mouth sealed, leaving him utterly powerless. The Striken Hammers monks took the heretical Warlock, and imprisoned him. For many days they tortured him, taking his confessions involving his blasphemous Metal, and anything that he might have created. Once everything was taken from him, they left him in his dark cell, and his name was erased from history, only known now as the Warlock, eventually Kal he perished from starvation and his body was left to wither and rot in that same cell for countless years. Until the infamous Black Lich, started to terrorize the land of Neved, using the powers of Death Metal to resurrect the skeletal remains of Kal Sabbath, becoming apart of his legion of undead. Granted some weapons, a helmet and tattered robes, Kal was among countless undead, and the Black Lich realized that he has potential as a wraith, and quite possibly a new lich in the future, but for that moment the Black Lich, kept Sabbath under a tight leash. He became a horsemen, the strongest horned bone horse, Zephyroz, became his mount and countless of souls were reap by him and his squadron, earning the gaze of the Soulkeeper, and eventually as the Black Lich predicted, the God of Death Metal, elevated Kal Sabbath into a higher ranking wraith, thus he became a Lich, regaining his sentience, power, and mind. Instead of rebelling, Kal bit his time watching and learning from the Black Lich, becoming a powerful warsinger in secret that surpassed his mortal past, he even started to rise his own undead, and after soo long in battle, he became a unmatched rider and commander. Thus he formed the Deathfrost Haunters, empowering the warsongs of Death, and all his undead minions gained a lot of frost and freezing in their form, making them a deadly force of death, that was swiftly growing behind the scenes. When the Striken Hammer Monk, Luxor Draiman, struck down the Black Lich, Kal made his move gaining control over half the remaining wraiths of the Black Lich, he fled south to further increase his knowledge and power over Death Metal, and expanding the numbers of the Deathfrost Haunters. Taking residence in a ancient abandoned catacombs, he froze it and all his Haunters gain the icy blessing of their God, thus his legion grew and eventually he began to ride out with his Haunters, to slaughter the living, and collect power, in order to regain all the power he once lost. And through Death Metal, he finally obtained much he desires, once all is dead, he'll stand as Leddah most favored Lich, and King of the Wraiths.

For this he was adored by countless people, and many desired his service, his warsinging was soo sought-after that believe with him at their call, uniting Ragnarock was possible. But Ban didn't care about serving any king or anyone else, all he cares is about Metal, and mayhem, so he just wandered around Ragnarock, as played his music and thus began gathering followers, facing against the greatest threats and challenges in the road. Ban love's this thrill, as war and mayhem occurred, inspiring him in the creation of new songs and riffs. One would believe that Ban is a devotee to Odyiir, but that far off, he dedicated to Metal itself, everything he does is purely chaotic and unpredictable. Thus this started gaining a army of warsingers and warriors, that started to provoke unnerving feeling from the other kingdoms and more. When warsingers from various rulers in the continent, pleaded for Ban to cease his chaotic path, many lands were afraid of what and his followers could do, especially since they aren't affiliated to any one crown or city. This only made Ban laugh, as he was Metal personified, loud, wild, chaotic, powerful, and unshakeled, with his scythe-guitar, he beheaded these fools, and sent back their heads as a sign of war, and mayhem. This angered Odyiir, believing that Ban Ghille, was destined to bring greatness to the human race, prosperity and more, but Ban a wild child in every meaning only cared about was utter anarchy, a warsinger that didn't possess a set alignment to a God, but to anarchy and Metal, as the Warlord sent down storms and quakes that pushed back Ban and his followers to the lands of Nor. There they encamped in a abandoned city, clearly ransacked by another race, as three kings and their armies arrived, Ban and his wild, chaotic followers were eager to fight and rampage. But the moment they stepped outside of Nor city, a lightningbolt would strike down, a sign of Odyiir's rage upon Ban's actions. This wasn't the war that he or his followers wanted, this was clearly an insult and stood against everything Metal stood for, this enraged he damned Odyiir, and swore he'll make him pay for this insult. Instead of giving anyone any form of satisfaction, Ban gathered his followers and made preparations to stand against Odyiir and his lot, as a huge amount of coffins were gathered in the city's hall, and they'll laid inside. Within the coffins, his loyal and devoted followers all drank poison and killed themselves, Ban included in this mass suicide. As they passed away, he prayed to one God, that represented everything that he wished and would appreciate his and his followers chaotic nature...Leddah, the God of Death Metal. And Leddah was pleased, he spoke to the spirit of the deceased Ban, promising Metal, power, and debauchery are all his, if he fully submitted to him and Death Metal. Ban, accepted and all he must do is wait, for a more suitable form for him and his followers, as they'll return to the world of the living, as the living dead. A couple years later, he returned the foolish followers of Odyiir must have buried him and his followers inside the coffins, Ban broke through that wooden coffins, and dug himself out of his own grave. Resembling a ghoul of glowing blue eyes, and withered form. With a smile he pulled his dearest sacred instrument, that was buried with him and played Death Metal, resurrecting a legion of zombie wraiths, and thus the undead legion of the Shrieking Coffinbreakers, was made.
