Lore

Long ago, an Undead declared a fight. A fight to celebrate their undeath, and to preserve what remained of their souls. So it was that the Undead Matches were born.

The merit of an Undead is measured in deaths. Could there be a greater gift for such a creature, than a fight that has no end?

— Description of the Champion's Bones

The Champion fought on, without rest, until he lost his mind. In the end, only his page and a lone wolf stayed at his side.
