What's going on?

The county has been plagued by a newly awakened wight, once known as Baron Phaendar.  He has escaped from his crypt to bring unholy retribution down upon the area. In life, he ruled the lands with an iron grip, and meted justice with a particularly cruel hand.  As he lay on his deathbed, he insisted he be interred at the criminal cemetery so that he could lord over those he had sentenced for all eternity.  

For the living, his death brought peace as the fog of fear lifted.  The inheritors of the Baron’s title showed a kinder hand, and its people swiftly embraced their new rulers. They abandoned the cemetery that housed the baron and his criminals to the swamp.

The cemetery then became a target for darker arts as a hag set up shop.   She took some time exploring her new home, gradually robbing the graves of the condemned. During her unholy excavations she broke into the Wight’s Cell (C2). The seal to the crypt was broken, becoming a tinder-strike for the evil of Baron Phaendar to unleash itself.  The event awakened the Baron and left the hag trapped in a pit at the bottom of the crypt, dead, but not.

The Baron now travels the area growing his unholy regiment.  When he returns home, he drops food down the hatch for the Undead Hag, who remains locked away in the pit below.
