Averness

A Paladin alive during the Flowering Plague, it was by his blade, the Sea Sunder, that Old Highrock managed to break the temple from the land and turn back the plague. During this process however, Averness fell from his oath and never spoke of what occurred. Instead, he found a small settlement where he built a church to the First Emperor that eventually came to be known as Greychurch.

Recently, he has been roused from death by a ritual performed by one of the Lich King's lieutenants. He was discovered by the party in his tomb, in combat with a creature that was left to be his jailer. As the ritual had left the town nearly deserted, the Averness moved northward, prepared to face the return of the Temple.
