Learning of Demon cultists in the Silver Cities, Arantir journeyed with Ornella to the northwest. She was quick to swear fealty to Arantir, and he had her sent to Nar-Ankar to "purge her spirit further in the crucible of the Goddess". However, Arantir retorted with a spell, killing Giovanni as Ornella watched. As he completed the process, Giovanni, seizing his chance, rushed toward Arantir and attacked him from behind. Agreeing, Arantir teleported the three to Asha's Web and performed the ritual. When Arantir arrived to claim it, Giovanni presented him Ornella as well, requesting that he transform her into a Vampire through the Kiss of the Spider Goddess. Posing as a loyal vassal, Giovanni had his apprentice Ornella slay Lord Malfroy and take the northwestern city of Iluma Nadin as a gift to Arantir.
Quickly asserting himself as a fiercely competent tactician as well as an accomplished spellcaster, he soon caught the attention of Lord Giovanni, an ambitious rival Necrolord with dreams of grandeur. A scholar of demonic lore, he emerged following the death of Necrolord Markal, and proceeded to conquer over half of the territories of Heresh, challenging and destroying four of his fellow Necromancers. OffBckĪ fervent disciple of Asha, Arantir claims he is several centuries old, though was not memorably active until the later events of Queen Isabel's War. Intense in his beliefs and dedicated to the worship of his goddess and the destruction of her demonic enemies, Arantir is a formidable leader.
Arantir has risen high indeed, and counts as one of the greatest ever to live - or unlive - among them. To climb high in their ranks requires not only talent, but also relentless dedication to the cause of their god, the spider-aspect of Asha. The lords of Heresh are a cold, grim, and fanatic group.
