The Dead Man’s Campaigns were a series of failed invasions of Darkon by Falkovnia.
- First Dead Man’s War – 700 BC
- Second Dead Man’s War – 704 BC
- Third Dead Man’s War – 711 BC
- Fourth Dead Man’s War – 722 BC
Soon after Azalin was apparently destroyed in The Requiem, Drakov launched another invasion, which also failed, but is not officially considered part of the Dead Man's Campaign.[1]
In each case, the armies of Vlad Drakov were turned back by a unending horde of the walking dead. In these horrific battles, Falkovnian soldiers who fall in battle quickly rise as living dead to attempt to slay their former allies.
Falkovnians believe this is because King Azalin of Darkon is a necromancer of great power. The Darkonese on the other hand believe that “the dead own the land” and the living are merely occupying it. Consequently, the dead are simply defending what already belongs to them.
