Rumors were that they're armies were of men that rarely slept  and they stalked mostly in  the night crushing their enemies with amazing strength and power, and their Emperor  his name Emperor Volund III but the world knew him as the Undead Warrior King who hailed from Finland. Merciless, Greedy, Bloodthirsty Volund the undead waged war pillaging neighboring countries forcing them to pledge  their loyalty  or die.

His devastating attack on Sweden left thousands dead leaving the county bare. People who survived spread their tales of them witnessing not an emperor but a monster with razor sharp teeth sucking the life and spirit out of their people and their country; enslaving some transforming them into monsters as well and others were transformed willingly
