1d10 Random Undead Royalty Wasteland Encounter Table For Your Old School Campaign

They come from across worlds, skittering through cracks in the universe to be a plague upon mankind. They have many names many of which have been forgotten over the eons. These princes of the undead have their very existence cursed & they are nothing more then mockeries of life itself. Across the eons they come sometimes to feed upon life, they devour not only flesh but the very souls of their victims. Often they have retinues of 1d20 minor undead who follow in their wake feeding upon anyone they can. They are often mindless or degenerate undead things of the lowest rank but occasionally they can be 2nd level free willed NPC undead warriors of dangerous aspect. These are in addition to the attendants listed in the entries.

Often these princes & princesses of undead are trying to locate the holdings of their former lives. They might be trying to locate a loved one or lost relative having escaped or crawled from the lowest levels of Hell to escape their fate. There is a 20% chance of these mad damned bastards having some token of Hell or the otherside that a witch or wizard might exploit for some personal gain.

Often these types of encounters end in tears as the wielder of eldritch power is far out classed & the cagey undead royal turns the tables on the fool. These wizards often become fodder demons of the wastelands of Atlantis.

Many of these powerful undead horrors operate during the twilight & darkness months of Accursed Atlantis when they can move across the wastelands with impunity.
