Darius the dark

Atop a mountain lair lives the powerful warlock Darius the dark. He is a practitioner of all forms of dark magic. He is cold and roofless. He lives alone atop the mountain. The mountain is surrounded by a dense dark forest filled with monsters. Many made by Darius himself. Most who make it through the forest to hunt Darius down have been killed or turned into a monster, doomed to serve the warlock.
