The ‘nobility’ of the northern undead, these were mostly once mighty warriors, heroes and nobles of the north. Bound in the service to the Lich Lords, they sold the lives of their people for their own immortality and safety. They took their Sworn Oaths of loyalty in the far north mountain fortress of Druuzd. Craven and black of heart, they hold false court, parroting the ceremonies that were once fine traditions and ways of life.
The Blood Guard are the Druuzd Lord commanders of armies – they command named undead and minor Druuzd Lords and the hosts of the dead.
