I, Lord Malik Baine, being a creature of undeath and wrought of chaos, desecration, and decay, do hereby lay down my last will and testament.
Should it be that I fall upon the field of battle, and that all of my careful preparations for this event come to naught, I wish it known that I bore the citizens of Blackstone no malice. It will be with welcome regard that I return to the peaceful embrace of Tyrra, the grave I was pulled so cruelly from. It is my wish that I be taken to a place known by few and yet well guarded. There I desire to be laid to rest such that I cannot be again cursed to walk the world as I have done until now.

Entering into this battle goes against my better judgment, and though I am confident I have prepared properly for it outcome, I make this document my final communication to the people of Blackstone. Let it now be known that I was a cursed man, pulled from the grave into a state of undeath and prevented from releasing myself from this state. My curse acted upon me in various ways and allowed only certain aspects of myself to come forth. Those personality traits strongest ingrained in me during mortal life were those brought out in death. It is my hope those victorious over me in battle will hear the truth of my words and carry out my final wishes.
I beg of you all, fight! Fight hard and when all hope is lost take heart and fight on! If I have fallen to you who read this, then you are winning a great battle and I would encourage you to take heart. Let not one undead reach his goal this night. Let not one drop of blood upon this field be in vain. Esteem the virtues or Honor, Humility, Sacrifice, Compassion, Honesty, and Justice and your Victory shall be assured.
Even after this fight thou take heed of my words. Seek not entry into the Swamp again. Neither climb the mountain to its ash-covered heights. And tread carefully when the ethereal cold of the grave can be felt on mortal skin. Though I am gone, others will rise up to take my place. Be vigilant and follow the Code of Chivalry and Blackstone will continue to shine as the Kingdom it always has.
