Argautus

Argautus was once a world-spanning empire. Its capital was Raxus, located on the large island between the continents. Its massive cities were awe-inspiring and ruins from them can be found across the continent. Argautus eventually fell due to the rise of Primus Vikanux, a powerful wizard who, using magic akin to that of the Gauntlet of Subjugation, raised massive armies and conquered the land. He was a human so after a brief rule of 15 years, he died leaving the remnants of Argautus to collapse. It is thought he became a Lich but Vikanux has never been seen since. He in fact imprisoned himself in a stone in trying to do the transformation. He seeks to return as a lich.
