Lore:Fenlords
Fenlords, also called Mummy Lords,[1] are undead Barsaebic Ayleid necromancers who transformed themselves into mummies. These revenants once ruled over parts of Black Marsh as necromancer kings in the First Era.[2]
The Barsaebics were Aedra worshippers, driven from the Heartlands into exile in Black Marsh following the Narfinsel Schism. The Barsaebics continued their practice of slavery,[3] and the Fenlords were no different in that regard. When their slaves rose against them, the Fenlords had them executed and revived as undead. Even in undeath, the Fenlords mistrusted their servants. To guard against rebellion, they inserted magical control icons into the heads of their undead slaves.[2] These mummified servants can still be found guarding their tombs in the Ayleid ruins of Shadowfen.[4]
The Fenlords eventually disappeared, possibly as a result of Alessian persecution. Some instead believe that the Fenlords used the Crown of Ascension to leave Nirn forever.[2] In truth, some Fenlords continue to dwell in the depths of Barsaebic ruins, ruling over their undead servants.[5][2]
