Lord Soth

Lord Loren Soth was a Death Knight from Krynn who became the first darklord of Sithicus, a domain in the southern part of The Core of Ravenloft. Soth always wore the armor of the Solamnic knightly Order of the Rose, including a great helm which hid all of his facial features save for his glowing orange eyes. ThIs armor was charred by the divine fire that slew him leaving only the blackened image of the rose upon its surface, from which Soth gained the moniker "Knight of the Black Rose". Beneath his armor Soth's body was pale and translucent, with patches of burned and blistered skin and the scant remains of his blond hair and mustache. He also radiated a supernatural aura of cold that could cause frostbite on contact.

Lord Soth was a formidable warrior; a skilled melee combatant who, thanks to his curse, also commanded a powerful array of lethal magic spells. In addition, he could raise and control lesser undead at will. Though he came to view the ideals of the Knights of Solamnia as hypocracy, Soth always maintained the forms and appearance of honorable combat. He viewed any opponent who would flee from battle or fight dishonorably with utter contempt.

Soth was the driving political force in Sithicus as well as it's darklord, though he was an apathetic ruler. He left the daily business of interacting with the (mostly elven) population to his dwarf/were-badger Seneschal Azrael. Though Soth explored his domain in great detail he spent most of his time within the walls of his haunted castle, Nedragaard Keep. There he contemplated his two driving obsessions: Returning to Krynn and capturing the spirit of Kitiara Uth Matar for his own. Kitiara was a blue dragon highlord and a general in the service of the evil goddess Takhisis on Krynn. Soth had become infatuated with Kitiara and devised a plan to trap her soul and turn her into his undead consort. Before his plans could be completed Soth was betrayed by his then-Seneschal, the ghost Caradoc, and the two were drawn into Ravenloft. Later, the shade of Kitiara (though not her true spirit) periodically appeared in Sithicus, reminding Soth of that which he could never have. Throughout his time as master of Sithicus, Soth desired nothing more than to return to Krynn with Kitiara at his side.

Lord Soth either can roll death's heads at will using death's-head dice or alternatively can only roll death's head. He cursed Oliver Arkwright to only be able to do the latter.
