MONSTER

Unburied King
“B eware the Unburied King, tyrant
and elf-slayer, forever bound by
vengeance. Armor forged in sorrow,
sword etched by time's cruel hand, he
reigns in silence. His faceless helm
watching over lands that dare not
whisper his true name. Tread lightly, for
even the stars do not dare to shine above
the realm that shivers under his gaze.”
The name of the king who would become
Atrum Rex, the Black King, has worn away by
time like stone turns to dust. Once a soldier of
insignificant birth, his rise to power was a
bloody path of cunning and bravery. He became
a beacon of unity in a land torn apart by petty
warlords and political strife. The king’s
conquests eventually laid the foundations for an
empire, as he brought battle-weary peoples
under a united banner through a combination
of formidable leadership and sheer military
genius.

Unbound Monarch (Recharges after a Short or Long
Rest). When the king is reduced to 0 hit points, he
doesn’t die. Instead, his hit point total resets to 75
hit points as his physical form, the armored
behemoth, becomes active for the next hour,
appearing in the nearest unoccupied space. Upon
activation, the armored form shares the same
initiative count as the spectral form, but acts
independently, having its own 75 hit points and
taking its own actions. Each form shares the same
spell slots and statistics. Each form also regains any
expended uses of Legendary Resistance. Each form
can now use the options in the “Mythic Actions”
section for 1 hour. Award the party an additional
3,900 XP (7,800 XP total) for defeating the king
after his Unbound Monarch activates.

Necrotic Fortification (Recharge 5-6; Armored Form
Only). The king emits a palpable necrotic aura and

throws against being grappled until the end of his
next turn. Additionally, a creature that hits him with
a melee attack while within 5 feet of him takes 4
(1d8) necrotic damage.
